49ers signed Jones for two seasons, don't think they can afford to trade him at the moment. Sounds like Purdy will play this week toe injury and all. Many think it's a mistake based on Purdy's practices although Shanahan thinks differently. If he stinks it up this week, I think he's off to IR and Jones goes again. Unlike Burrow it seems like Purdy doesn't need surgery. Burrow needed a ligament repaired

Well, the trade window has closed for the season. But, and in this regard John Lynch may be smarter than given credit for, SF signed Jones to a two-year deal, without an out for Mac after this season. Also, he'll get paid $4m next season, but if SF cuts him (or another team does a trade/cut, unlikely but possible), the dead cap is only a little over $2m, making him really easy to deal next off-season, if they want. Or they can just hold onto him as insurance at a reasonable cost.
This was really damn smart because they saw: Jones has talent, but went through a really bad coaching carousel his entire career so far. So he was always between decent and bad, depending on the week. He best play was for a smart OC who works with QBs in Josh McDaniels, and he had a few moments his year in Jax, but that whole org was a mess. "But in a stable system like ours, where I, QB whisperer Kyle Shananhan actually work with my QBs and coach to their strength, unlike other idiot coaches out there..." they grabbed him at a very reasonable cost, and can hold him for two seasons. They saw what worked with Darnold, but lost Sam after 1 season (as did Minnesota). So Lynch got the "damaged" Jones to sign a 2-year deal.

Indeed, nice game for Maye. This was the first time I watched him live. He threw the ball well finishing with an impressive 107 passer rating. He looked poised & confident running the offense - especially since he's still a youngster at 23 & this is only his 2nd year of starting. He sees the field well. And you could see his athleticism & mobility at work as he effectively moved away from pressure avoiding potential sacks & getting the ball to an open receiver. And 1st rounder LT Will Campbell was outstanding. Only one holding penalty & allowed only one sack matched up primarily against McDonald most of the game. This was a great selection by Vrabel - he looks like the real deal: big, strong, athletic, tough, smart.
And not to take away anything from Maye, but his receivers were wide open all night...and I mean wide open. I don't know if the Jets' secondary was sleeping on the job or what, but all Maye had to do was get the ball on target (that's why he didn't have to run much - only 2 yds rushing). And he's throwing to Diggs & Henry - two of the best at their positions.
And Fields got NO help from his receivers. I thought I was watching practice squad receivers out there. Lol. Mitchell dropped THREE nice passes right into his freaken hands! One was a nicely thrown deep ball that might of scored if he didn't drop it. I can see why the Colts dumped this guy & now he's the Jets' problem. WTH? Lol. And Ruckard on 4th down in the red zone wide open dropped a pass right into his hands that would have been a 1st down keeping the drive alive. Who knows...if these catches were made it might have been a different & much closer game.
Herbstreit summed up his thoughts on Fields stating that he has elite talent but needs to play in a system that will capitalize on his strengths. He also needs weapons that Herbstreit says he's lacking with the Jets (no kidding after what I saw with those receivers. Lol). So, maybe...with the right system & some good weapons, Fields could become a franchise QB.

I wouldn't want to be in Purdy's shoes this Sunday. He's literally got to play flawlessly & win knowing Jones is standing by ready to go in and relieve him if Shanahan sees fit. This has to be one of the most uneasy feelings for a starting QB coming back from injury when the backup has played so well in your absence.

Funny! What about Jon Gruden as coach of the Giants? Chucky seems to want the gig! Slightly more likely than Rex Ryan as HC of the Jets I suppose.
I actually think Purdy will be fine, and keep his job. I know I wrote it was smart for SF to sign Mac Jones to a 2 year deal, but I also think that makes him solid trade bait.

I’m going for the crazy, Broncos to win by one due to a late fumble the Chiefs don’t recover.
Both teams will have to rely on backups - Pacheco is out as well. This is particularly bad for the Broncos as Dobbins is the 5th leading rusher in the league & has been getting most of the carries. RJ Harvey, their 2nd rd pick, has been ineffective running the ball averaging only about 5 carries a game. He needs to step it up & have a big game to justify his 2nd rd status.
Hopefully for his sake but keep in mind he wasn't playing that well before he even got hurt. In the two games he started before the injury he was 1-1 with 4 TD passes to 4 picks & a passer rating of only 85 (vs his career average of 103). So, it wasn't like he started off the season on fire or anything.
On Jones, I don't quite understand why they signed him to a 2 yr deal when he's as good as gone next year? (unless some crazy thing occurs where he's allowed to compete for the starting job next year & beats out Purdy). Jones has resurrected his career with his outstanding performance in his 8 starts. And with his confidence back & being a high 1st rd pick, he wants to start somewhere next year & not hold a clipboard for Purdy. Lol.
New Team Emerges as Top Trade Partner for 49ers QB Mac Jones
The 49ers are faced with decisions regarding Mac Jones. The New York Jets would make the most sense as a trade partner in 2026.

It’s what one side of the coin says, other side say Chiefs by 3 scores :O , but I like the other outcome more
And no I don’t bet, you have to spend money to make money but that wage money goes to the family. The biggest regret I think I have is when the Chiefs odds went up crazy high for the second Niners win I think it was when my wife wanted to put $150 on them winning the Super Bowl. My craziest prediction was Seahawks getting a safety against the Broncos in the Super Bowl but I said it’d be a low scoring 2-0 kind of game, not the complete beatdown Seahawks served on them.

Purdy never should have played in the Jags game. He did throw 2 picks against SEA in week 1, but otherwise played well against a very tough D, and they won. But the rest of the season will be telling.
I've been more wrong than right lately in my predictions, but I'm somewhat confident in two of the big games tomorrow. That KC will beat Denver, and the Rams will beat the Seahawks.
WAS@MIA - In Madrid 🐂! I like the Fins, who are better than their record, and the Commanders are like a MASH unit.
CAR@ ATL - The Falcons and Penix have struggled. Can they climb back?
TB@BUF - Will the Bills bounce back? TB lacks receivers, killing Baker's MVP year.
CIN@PIT - Can the Steelers exact revenge on Flacco? Rodgers not looking great of late.
LAC@JAX - I think the Chargers are a better team, but I think the Jags will be motivated after last week's loss.
DET@PHI - For the Lions to win, the have to be ahead in the 3rd quarter or so. If the game becomes a grinding battle, and they are behind, I don't see them coming back late.
Here's what's wrong with the Raiders, and Browns (and NFL). Tickets to the Browns game tomorrow against Baltimore are as low as $21 for the upper deck. The Raiders hosting the Cowboys? Ticket prices start at $312.

Bucs 20 vs Bills 21 is firing off right now. Bills completely helped Bucs on the last drive before halftime with the defensive delay of game. Bills also keep making mistakes that are costing them. If I was the Bucs I’d have gone for the end zone a couple times. Mayfield has really grown a lot on the Bucs. At first I wanted him to do poorly his first season but he’s been a rock star.

Name a more dynamic duo: Refs and Chiefs or Trump and Bubba.
Even Romo isn’t happy about the penalty on Broncos pick 6.

I'm surprised Nomad isn't here yet to crow about the Broncos win. Refs did their best, but there is no doubt the better team won in the end. Some ugly passes by Mahomes.
Jags absolutely pancaked the Chargers. Miserable game for Herbert. Passer rating of just 44, and a QBR of 17 for the game.
Seattle's loss to the Rams had to really sting. They gained 160 more yards than LA, had a few chances to win after digging themselves in a hole, and still couldn't pull it off. I'm sure they'll be seeking revenge when the rematch happens.
Ravens and Bills don't look a heck of a lot better than the Chiefs, but both won.
Shedeur Mania begins! Finally got his shot! Announcers in other games were excited, he had the Browns driving late! Who cares if he was just 4/16 for 47 yards, threw a pick, and was sacked twice losing 27 yards? It's Prime II time coming, baby!
Brock Purdy's job is safe.
Bears to me are a mirage.

The officiating definitely had some big moment penalties or no calls go the Chiefs way instead of letting the players play or ticky tacky but they also got called on their holding and false starts. Both teams were committing many penalties and they deserved to be called on it. Broncos were the better team the whole 60 minutes in all 3 phases and now have a very healthy lead for the division and still fighting for the one seed. Chiefs offense was terrible and only in the game due to Broncos penalties. The Chiefs defense tried their best but the dam finally broke again. Looking at the quarterbacks looked like Nix and Mahomes swapped teams. Chiefs are 0-5 in one score games (last year like 11-0 or 15-0, something high I forgot) and have a better offense with worse defense and special teams compared to last year while not having the extra things go their way like last year.
It is crazy to write them off at 5-5 but they’re in a very, very bad spot. Unless there’s crazy tie breakers, Chiefs have lost to the teams that matter ahead of them. They don’t control their destiny anymore. Jaqs and Bills most likely won’t win the division AND they have the tie breaker over Chiefs. Chiefs have the chance to redeem their losses to Broncos and Chargers but they’re in a grave as well with losing to them previously. A loss to the Colts or Texans, especially the Texans, barring a collapse of multiple teams ends their playoff hunt. Nick Wright has to be on suicide watch right now. They need to play every game like they did against the Lions.

The Bears might be getting a lot of spiritual assistance. I don’t know if it’s illegal or not but we could have Popegate.
Too funny Alpe...and I'm surprised you're not hammering me for the way I've been promoting Herbert praising his new found "dual-threat" capabilities. Lol (so, I guess we're even?). You're right - he was absolutely pathetic. And they didn't just get beat by the Jags, but received a good old fashioned horse whipping. Lol.
Great win for the Broncos & this pretty much puts a dagger into the Chiefs' hopes of winning the division - now 4 games behind the Broncos. The D & Nix's improved passing won the day. The D sack Mahomes 3 times & pressured him all day. Denver's D leads the league in sacks by leaps & bounds, and are basically terrorizing every opposing QB they play. Nix a sound game & though no TD passes, no picks or turnovers, and some clutch 1st dn completions to Sutton in the 4Q. Broncos atop the division with one of the best records at 8-2 can now start thinking #1 seed. The Chiefs, OTOH, now have their work cut out to just get a playoff spot.
Big win for the Bills: Allen on fire with 6 TDs! - 3 passing & 3 running.
You're spot on Alpe about Purdy - he looked real good (3 TDs/no picks) & is in no danger of losing his job.
I watched most of the Bears-Vikings game & I thought Williams played very well. His passing skills & athleticism really shined - he looks in full control of the offense keeping Ben Johnson happy. McCarthy, OTOH, probably needs to go to QB rehab. He's just not throwing the ball very well consequently pissing off Jefferson. Lol.
