Who’s the best team in the NFL? I thought it was San Francisco, but they just lost their third straight game and suddenly Brock Purdy is a turnover machine.

The Jets might have won, but everyone who watched that game lost. The Jets offense wasn’t much better, unable to muster anything on the ground, and struggling to move the ball without some help from penalties committed by the Big Blue defense. Sure, the G-men were down to their third string quarterback due to injury, but why have a quarterback on the roster if you won’t let him throw the ball?! They ran the ball on like 30 straight plays in the second half. The Giants finished with -9 pass yards, which was the fewest by any team since 2000.

There were more punts (24) than points (23) – the most combined punts in a game since 1998. These teams went a combined 4-for-34 on third down, worst since 2009. Might be in contention for the worst game of the year when we look back.

That Giants/Jets game was absolutely hideous.

Still a lot to discuss, including the trade deadline moves, so let’s jump right into my NFL week eight thoughts! Another week, another round of major injuries, questionable officiating, and mediocre football. This week in the NFL reminds me of a line in the song “All-Star” by Smash Mouth: “Well the hits start coming and they don’t stop coming.” Those aren’t the actual words, but close enough.
