7 Biggest Losers of NFL Week 11

We’re bringing back the weekly NFL losers article before we gather around to devour the dryest of birds with our loved ones. It’s NFL Week 11 and it feels like the longest football season of all time. Maybe this is just how it feels when your team is on their third-string QB and every game feels like watching a snail making its way down your driveway. Go Giants, though.

Anyway, here are the 7 biggest losers of NFL Week 11:

1. New York Jets

I couldn’t figure out who specifically was the biggest loser on this team so let’s call the entire team losers.

The Jets season started with trading for a quarterback who was drafted in 2005 when Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston were still married. Kelly Clarkson was skinny when Rodgers was drafted and the Jets put all of their chips into that basket with no backup plans.

Personally, if I were acquiring an elderly man, I would look to improve my offensive line or add a backup QB who is capable of playing the game of football but the Jets didn’t give a shit about any of that.

Last year, Zach Wilson was SO bad that they spent the entire offseason begging Grandpa Rodgers to play for them yet they seem SHOCKED to find out Zach still stinks this year.

Here’s where Zach Wilson ranks amongst his peers this season:

1,944 passing yards (23rd)
6 touchdowns (28th)
87 first downs (24th)
6.1 yards per attempt (31st)
73.8 passer rating (30th)
31.0 QBR (31st)

Robert Saleh did all he could to protect Zach Wilson (literally) 🤣

Zach Wilson stampeded over his head coach and never made it back to the field. He is so bad at this sport that the Jets have benched him for Tim Boyle, the same Tim Boyle who threw a grand total of one (1) touchdown in college. 13 interceptions and only 1 touchdown. That man is somehow a better option than the guy they drafted No. 2 overall.

2. Seattle Seahawks

On Sunday, the Seahawks lost a must-win against the Los Angeles Rams. Seattle went into the 4th quarter up 16-7 on the 3-6 Rams and ended up losing 16-17 thanks to Aaron Donald sending Geno Smith to the blue tent and Drew Lock running the offense into the ground.

Let’s take a quick peak at what Seattle has next on the schedule:

Home vs. San Francisco 49ers
Away @ Dallas Cowboys
Away @ San Francisco 49ers
Home vs. Philadelphia Eagles

The Seahawks sit a 6-4 and they’re about to go on a 4-game hell run that could easily end with them sitting at 6-8 and no chance of making the playoffs.

3. Ron Rivera

Last week I wrote an article demanding Washington free Sam Howell but maybe we can simply fire everyone around him. Starting with head coach Ron Rivera, who couldn’t get his team past a New York Giants squad that was starting a third-string undrafted rookie who looks like Costa from Project X.

Not only did they lose to New York but they gave up 31 points to a Giants team that only scored 30 points once this season against the Cardinals. The Giants have the 32nd-ranked offense in the NFL and put up 30 on Ron’s neck.

So now Washington is 4-7. They haven’t won a single game in the division. They’re 1-4 at home. This is about to be Rivera’s 4th consecutive losing season in Washington. I have no idea why his key card into the facility still works every Monday morning.

4. Matt Canada

You’re next, Ron.

5. Frank Reich

If we’re running through coaches who may be unemployed soon, let’s have a quick convo about Frank Reich who was brought in to groom first-overall pick, Bryce Young, into a reliable NFL starter but instead, the Panthers have only 1 win this year and Bryce Young looks wildly unprepared every week.

Bryce Young has only 1,638 yards with 9 touchdowns to 8 interceptions. He is objectively the worst starting quarterback in the NFL and I don’t see much progress happening in Carolina.

The Panthers don’t have a first-round pick next season so they can’t even get Bryce some top talent to help him. They have to run it back and hope Bryce magically figures out NFL defenses but don’t be shocked when Reich is the scapegoat for whatever the fuck Carolina’s 2023 was.

6. Austin Ekeler

In the offseason, Austin Ekeler set up a Zoom call for all running backs to discuss how they could get paid more for their labor. You know what would help put more money in your pocket, Austin? Not fumbling the ball in the 4th quarter. Not getting outrushed by your QB. Hey, maybe scoring some touchdowns.

Austin Ekeler wanted a bag and he’s only rushed for over 100 yards once, in the first week of the season. This man has rushed for less than 30 yards TWICE this year. I don’t want to hear about Ekeler holding out or wanting more money. Nothing. Austin Ekeler is a 57-yard rushing week away from heading over to Best Buy and getting himself a podcast mic.

7. Ian Rapoport

Joe Burrow learned his season was over on Friday, understood his responsibility, and went out and held a news conference. The job of a QB and face of the franchise. https://t.co/Xh0S6LpfUT

So the projected favorite to go no. 1 overall in the 2024 NFL Draft, Caleb Williams, lost a game and refused to speak with the media after. No one should give a shit. NFL insider, Ian Rapoport did. So he elected to dunk on a 20-year-old by essentially saying he was unprofessional for not answering stupid questions while simultaneously dick-riding Joe Burrow for somehow mustering the courage to speak to reporters with a broken hand. What a hero.

Whenever one of these breaking news merchants suddenly posts opinions, just know those opinions are either being given to them by a front office exec or an agent in order to carry some narrative for them OR, Rapoport is doing this of his own free will to use as quid pro quo later. I give you good press now, you give me some exclusive leaks later that I can tweet out 30 seconds before Adam Schefter does.

Loser shit.
