Week 17 Takeaways

Week 17 Takeaways

Tuesday Takeaways: Week 17 Addition 

  • Derek Carr is gone - easiest takeaway ever… now let’s get into it.

  • My beloved Gardner Minshew folded under pressure and played awful in perhaps one of the biggest moments of his career.

  • Tua may never possess the talent of the Mahomes’, Burrow’s, & Allen’s of the world, but this offense looks lost when one of his replacements is starting. There is something to be said about knowing how to run a system very well.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are winning the AFC South and hosting a playoff game.

  • “River Boat” Ron Rivera is a fucking idiot for playing Carson Wentz in that must win spot. Or did he even know it was a must win? Was it an owner decision? Who knows with this franchise.

  • The Vikings are the most fraudulent 12 team in the history of football. This is not a hot take. Despite Minnesota’s record standing at 12-4, they continue to wear one of the most peculiar statistical anomalies in NFL history – a negative-19 point differential for the season, by virtue of their 11-0 record in one-score games.
