this might not be the place but does anyone remember the like diesel patches/ 2lazy2try of nfl recaps? ive been looking for hours thats kinda the best way i know how to describe him lol

Google gave me conflicting answers.

Imo they should be treated as any other offensive player if they are running for a first down. I dont understand the special treatment they get when it comes to tackles. Act like an RB get hit like an RB…

I know it can and does happen (2022 Buccaneers). But how rare is it and how hard for a team. Are you more than likely not making the playoffs after 9 loses or more??

Why would you want to blitz a safety ? Wouldn’t the qb have the most time to get the ball away compared to if any other position were to blitz? Also, during safety blitz, the corners don’t have help up the field

nfl.pro.com loads to nfl.com/pro ask me subscribe, I have annual premium subscription.

I recently reached out to their support team, and I’m a bit confused about their suggestion to use Coach Film on NFL Plus. They are not providing any reason why I can’t access NFL Pro Stats. I believe NFL Pro is a game-changer, as it allows you to watch games with filters. Anyone experiencing the same as me ?

I constantly see it and I just have to know what does it mean. Like why don't the other players have them on the uniform. I originally thought it was because he was the quarterback but no other quarterback has one

The title says it all.

If they don't exist, why? Seems like a missed opportunity.

If the QB is tackled at the line of scrimmage is it still considered a sack? The rules say must be behind the line.

Thanks for the feedback!

Why are the cowboys constistently labled as a good team? I feel like they are barely better then some of the most medicore teams, as of week 13 they barely escaped being in the bottom ten. They lost to the saints 44-19. The thing is, on paper I think they'd be a great team. Their offense has three pretty solid players, dak prescott, CeeDee lamb, and Elliot. Where is the weak link? Why are they so overhyped?

With Alabama possibly being left out of the college football playoffs there's been a lot of talk that it should be the 12 best teams in the country and not necessarily the conference champions of teams with best records.

But how do they know Alabama is one of the 12 best if their record is worse and they have some bad losses. Is there really that much a of a difference between conferences?

What's the point of playing the games if it comes down to opinions? In the NFL everyone says "you are what your record says you are" in the CFB what is used to determine how good a team really is?

It feels poignant now that they are no longer active, but I would like to know how good the Oilers were back in the day. A few guys I have come across who were diehard Oilers fans told me that they were a Super Bowl-winning side who were just missing a few missing pieces.Also, they had a very cool jersey, I must admit.

Can anyone tell me what 5-6 / 9-2 mean in the Game UI in the team logo's

As title says, I bought some tickets to the divisional playoff game for the bills and I’m a little confused since I’m not sure if they’re going to play in the wild card game or the divisional?

I’m not sure if this was just a rule of cool play, but Amari Cooper wasn’t and couldn’t make anymore forward progress and was actually beginning to be pushed back on the play— the referees should have blown the play dead at this point. So why wasn’t the play blown dead when he had 3 different 49ers pushing him backwards and they were thinking the play was over?

Hi all. Question for the NFL regulars here: When Travis Hunter is drafted, is it likely that his team will play him both as a WR and as a C? Has this happened before?

I can imagine that the pressure on his body to play Offence and Defence in the NFL would be insane!

If the offensive coordinator calls the plays for the offense and the defensive coordinator calls the defense formation, then what does the head coach call?

Not to mention the coaching staff you see in up in the booths. Or the back up QB. Are they all communicating with their headsets? Does a QB have an ear piece inside of his helmet?

Also with all of this wireless technology, has a team ever tapped in to the other teams bluetooth signal and listened to them calling plays?

The most common thing asked on this subreddit is new fans wondering what team to follow/support. The answers are always the same, and there are no right or wrong ones.

No one can just tell you who to be a fan of. Everyone's fandom is different, and all of them are valid. This is entertainment, and you are allowed to enjoy it however you like. That said, here are some common things you can look at to get started:

1. Do you have a local team or favorite city? This is by far the easiest way to get into football. If your city/region has a team or if your friends/family follow the same team, joining them will be the smoothest way to start out.
2. Are you already leaning in any particular way? If you are, keep leaning. If you saw a Cincinnati Bengals game and thought it was fun and you'd like to see more of them, you don't need anyone's permission or validation. Just watch their next game!
3. Are you interested in a few different teams? Cool! Watch some of their games! See who you end up feeling strongly about, especially if they're playing each other. Have fun with it, there are no rules!
4. Are you worried about a team's success/identity/prestige/fanbase? Don't be. The NFL is one of the most even sports in terms of parity, and there are rarely teams that stay good or bad forever. It's okay to enjoy watching the current best teams in the NFL; they are probably playing the best football most often. Try to just be a fan and don't worry about what others think or say. Your fandom is yours, not theirs.

Still overwhelmed and not sure where to turn? It's fine to watch random games. Maybe you'll find yourself rooting for someone in particular. And if you don't, try another game. Check out whoever is playing in primetime; those are usually expected to be more exciting matchups. Letting it come naturally will last longer than throwing a dart and deciding to be a fan of whoever it lands on.

Another way some people develop rooting interests is fantasy football. There are beginner leagues where people play for fun, and it can be a good way to get you invested in specific players or teams as you start rooting for whoever is on your fantasy roster.

If you're still torn or have other questions about starting with a specific new team, etc., you can ask them here.

Why are the bye week distributions so inconsistent? Ex: Four week five, none week eight, six on week fourteen. Why don't they just have six teams go on by from week 8-13?

Here’s my understanding is it correct? But how come a team so bad in defense in regular season raise in Playoffs? Offense I can understand it just need 1 guy play lights out.

In 2007: Brett Favre's interception in overtime of the NFC Championship was a key moment, but the Giants also overcame two missed field goals earlier in the game. In the Super Bowl, the iconic Tyree "helmet catch" kept their game-winning drive alive. Additionally, Steve Spagnuolo's defense played a critical role, sacking Tom Brady multiple times and disrupting the Patriots' historically high-scoring offense.

In 2011: Eli Manning had a phenomenal postseason, posting a 9-1 touchdown-to-interception ratio and throwing for over 1,000 yards. The Giants' offense benefited from two standout wide receivers (Victor Cruz and Hakeem Nicks), while the defense capitalized on opponents' mistakes. They defeated the 15-1 Packers by forcing four turnovers, including a pivotal Hail Mary touchdown pass by Manning before halftime. In the NFC Championship, the 49ers lost on two costly fumbles, and in the Super Bowl, the Patriots dropped several critical passes, Manningham catch.

Watching MNF right now and with about 5 minutes left… would (or has) a team ever just give up an easy score to get possession back faster and avoid the clocking running down so much? I’ve thought this before when a score is looking inevitable and the other team is on a solid drive making gains… why not make this a “real” strategy? Or might it be and it’s just not so obvious or openly discussed? Thanks!

Goes for any sport I suppose.

I just saw Denver and Cleavand exchange long touchdown passes on consecutive plays. So, what's the record for the most consecutive touchdowns in a game?

Or does it not make a difference?

I know if it bounces and they get it it's still gives it to the other team but what would happen if they managed to get there before it hit the ground and caught it?

Title. I understand football is extremely physical, but aren’t players trained to avoid these injuries? Especially since they are often season ending?

Brady played in 383 games over the span of 22 years.

Obviously, there are probably some games he has only a vague memory of. But, for example, if you showed him highlights of a game he played against the St. Louis Rams on November 7, 2024, do you think he would remember it?

Our latest example of a sliding player getting hit happened this weekend, but it seems to happen at least once per season to a QB. Why shouldn't QBs just allow themselves to be tackled like any other player? Is running into a defender really that much worse than sliding and risking a hit to the head from a lunging defender?
