May Day 10

I hope we don't get a new coach bounce back game by an embarrassed team

I agree

Its like that all over the league. There is a lot of parity and good teams getting knocked off by bad. With the loser point, the league is designed to make .500 very achievable and most teams/fanbases feel like they are in it. This season is basically a lost cause already, and probably will be by New year's. They need to go in the neighborhood of 32-15-5 the rest of the season and they are incapable of winning back to back games. They habitually come out flat and spot the opposition 2 or 3 goals. Ownership sits there because of 'communication, authenticity, family, wanting to be here, and being comfortable'. I like and respect Granato's story and all... but this team right now is the definition of needing a coaching change, and it probably should have been done 3 weeks ago. NHL coaches have a very limited shelf-life. Craig Berube got fired the other day and he has won a cup recently. Granato is the 9th longest-tenured coach in the NHL and he has accomplished nothing tangible.

I love the fact that RTC is posting in this thread

Can someone shove Linguist into the portal?

What makes Jerrod Mayo such a great hc candidate for them? Imo that organization needs a deep cut and face-lift, especially holding a premium pick in decent looking draft. As far as belichick's next team? It'll be interesting and a little of talk and hype, but I don't see him finding success. The NFL has passed him by, and he will probably demand a lot of clout. He will surround himself with that same tired group because he is comfortable with them and they are the only ones who will tolerate him.

If Buffalo beats Dallas or the jets beat Miami, there is a really good chance it will come down to the week 18 game at Miami

Macon was undefeated, no? edit: They also beat Ithaca 46-0 https://rmcathletics.com/sports/football/schedule But yeah, I agree, that the Cortland road was light on the monsters, Mount Union was upset and all the Wisconsin and midwest teams were on the other side. It would be a pretty huge upset. I watched the Macon game though and Cortland had a look of a team that was in the zone in all phases.

My alma mater has been on a terrific run through the Division III playoffs. In the semi-final, they pulled the upset and smashed Randolph-Macon 49-14 (and it wasn't that close) on Saturday Their quarterback is Buffalo/Ken West product Zac Boyes and he has smashed most Cortland records this season. He looks terrific Cortland has never been to the semifinals, let alone the Stagg Bowl. The last time a New York State team was in it was Ithaca in 1991. They play a machine though in North Central (Illinois). They have been to 4 straight Stagg Bowls now and have won 2. Friday at 7PM on ESPN U. https://www.wbng.com/2023/12/12/cortland-football-preparing-first-ever-division-3-championship-game-against-north-central/ https://www.ncaa.com/brackets/football/d3/2023

There was one thrown to Davis on the sideline. He was covered... but in true Gabe Davis fashion, he just pulled up and made zero attempt to look hungry and go for the ball. The guy seems to have zero appetite for getting his nose dirty and winning contested balls or balls out of his range. It drives me nuts and I cant wait for him to be out of here His mom needs to shut up

I wonder when Cleveland is meeting with Yamamoto

This feels like a playoff game now. I really feel like the Bills can make a run through the playoffs with the current AFC field... if they can steal the Division back from Miami and have a home playoff game (maybe more)... the season can totally still be a success. Beating Dallas would really get the snowball rolling downhill.

It seems like losing a C will be a catastrophic loss for an offense like Miami and a QB like Tua. They need everything flowing and timed perfectly.

I was looking at their salary situation. Holy smokes, I thought the Bills had it bad. They have a ton of mushrooming salaries for 2024. Tyreek at $31 Million (12 now) Ramsey at $27 Million (3 now) Chubb at $26 Million (7.5 now) Howard at $25 Million (10 now) Tua at $23 Million (assuming no extension) (9.5 now) Armstead at $20 Million (9 now) Im sure some of this can be cleaned up with restructuring, but you have to expect Tua and his agent are going to pursue a larger guaranteed deal. In contrast, the Bills have at $20 mil + Allen at $47 million Diggs at $27.8 Million Con Miller at $23 Million

Yeah, I have seen this done a lot this season. The first time, I thought it was a bad decision and heard an analyst say its a 'no brainer'. Have seen it done a half dozen times since then. Wasnt surprised when Vrabel went for 2.

A surprising thing is how conventional the collapse/comeback was. It wasn't a bunch of mistakes and interceptions. It was Tennessee effortlessly driving down the field twice, and miami not moving the ball, with Tua always panicking and getting tackled on 3rd and 4th downs when his first read isn't wide open.

What a choke job. My goodness

Tua is absolute feces

Tua freaks out and sucks if his first read isn't open in the first 1.5 seconds

Is there any doubt who the mvp of the nfl is?

Miamis offense is completely shorted out without Hill

I like how they say its embarrassing for the NFL like they care.... but they have turned around and made another close game between 2 of the league's best teams all about their personal hissy fit... based on a call that 99% of people agree is the right call.

I checked a chiefs forum and I think 90% of people agree that it was the right call.

It's a black and white rule. What an embarrassing hill to die on
