  1. Yeah, this is the way it looks to me. You could definitely be right here, but equally, Elam might be the reason they don't give Rasul another contract. I don't think it's as predictable as you say here. But we'll see.
  2. You're living in the past. For about two years it looked like offensive coaches were far more valuable. The pendulum is well into a swing back the other way, towards equality. And the sample sizes on that chart are way too low. Interesting but not significant.
  3. Yup, this. Oh, and Mikie, you're wrong about that stat. Paul Brown coached plenty of years during the SB era and never made a Super Bowl. Blanton Collier too. George Halas a couple of years. As for Schotty, go back and check how those teams Marty coached did the year before Marty arrived and the year after he left. Hint: not well. Schotty was a terrific coach who made decent rosters into excellent teams. Only had a legit contending roster maybe one or two years. LaFleur and McDermott have plenty of time to go. McDermott, at age 50 probably has 15 years or so left. He'll make it way before then.
  4. True. But it goes beyond just having Josh. We also have a front office duo that puts the right pieces around Josh. Look back through history and you find a lot of terrific QBs having years where their team isn't good even when the QB is healthy. Look at Favre in '99 and '00 and '05, Rodgers in '17 and '18, Marino in '86 - '89, Brees in '07, '08, '12 and '14 - '16, Roethlisberger in '12 and '13, Elway in '90 and '92 to '95. Hell, look at Kurt Warner's career. So far since Allen put it all together, we've been competitive every single year. Even this year when it didn't look like they'd have the team to do it.
  5. Dang. My nine-year-old daughter broke her wrist yesterday in our jiu-jitsu class as well. I sense an astral connection of some sort with Keon.
  6. In one opinion, presumably PFF's? Sauce is, again, a very good player playing in a crappy environment. Put him in a defense that's firing on all cylinders and he'd look much better than he's looking now. If you think Benford has been better, well, that's maybe something reasonable people could disagree over. But Sauce is all hype? Not even close. This is pretty reasonable. And it sure looks like you're on target about the QB. Which couldn't happen to a nicer team.
  7. I get you're maybe joking. But it doesn't mean that. By that measure, having Josh Allen as our QB means we'll lose, since Josh was the QB every year we didn't make the Super Bowl. What beating the Chiefs in the regular season would mean is that we have a slightly improved chance to beat them in the playoffs as the seeding chances would improve a bit.
  8. I know. I have to keep fighting that off. Too early, but it does feel good.
  9. Agreed. Guy's got a big heart despite coming through experiences that could have soured him.
  10. IMO the Jets group is just a bit better, with the possible exception of Benford, who has taken another major leap forward. But the Bills group is also very good. But the Jets system is holding back those players while the Bills system is supporting theirs and producing improvements, on and off the field. It's hard to improve in a team sport with a crappy environment.
  11. 8/17ths ain't half. There is no half anymore, in the NFL season. Or quarters of a season either. They lost that when they went to 17. It's an under-appreciated result of that move, and it's a drag, But more money, which trumps everything for the owners.
  12. Your mom's at the top of the stairs calling you. Time to clean the toilet.
  13. 19 against Tennessee. 38 against Seattle. It's in Pro Football Reference, under Game Logs. Yes, both of these.
  14. Hunh? Thanks for your kindness about the rest, but I absolutely addressed that trade from Dallas to Cleveland in the post. You might disagree, but at least I did address it. Here's what I said: You're right that it's not the same reason as the other two, but Dallas had very good reason to let him go. Like your name, by the way. Have a good day, and see you on the boards.
  15. We let him go in August. They signed him from the Saint Louis Battlehawks, says google.
