  1. Why is it considered likely that wet weather is going to inhibit scoring? That obviously didn't turn out to be the case. The offense has the advantage when the field is slick. It was the wrong decision.......they won anyway.
  2. How do you know if McDermott and company are giving Cook "a fair shake"..........are you at practice and seeing if he is doing his job? The mother hen fans are ridiculous..........it's OK that he needs to earn playing time in small sample sizes. And occasionally some players don't have the cognitive function to ever learn..........see CJ Spiller.
  3. The era where bigger, taller, less athletic QB's like Kelly, Marino, Bledsoe and Peyton Manning ruled the game is long gone and they have been replaced by more athletic 6'2" guys like Rodgers, Mahomes, Dak, Lamar, Jalen Hurts etc.. It's why people act astonished about Josh Allen. He's tall like an old school QB but also athletic.
  4. Well........no........he's not done and everybody else hasn't moved on from him..........he is still playing pro football. I have never understood the jealous nobody's who insist on running the guy down...........lot's of talented athletes don't make it big in pro sports.
  5. You'd probably say the same about Aaron Rodgers or Patrick Mahomes. He's the same stature as those guys. As for him boozing it up with his buddies.........that's not surprising..........he's a Kelly..........they party at football games, it's a tradition.
  6. Chad Kelly is absolutely an NFL quality athlete for the QB position..........not sure how you can watch the rest of the QB's not named Allen in the AFC East and think he's not big enough, tall enough, strong enough, fast enough, talented enough. He's a bad decision maker. His uncle Jim was a total douchebag in his late teens and early twenties too...........but the fact that Jim had similar talent and could take a beating in the pocket made him a must have commodity for pro football despite his personality. Guys like Mac, Tua and Wilson probably don't make it out of the college ranks in 1980-1982. It's fair to supremely doubt that Chad Kelly will ever succeed in any kind of pro football..........but I will say that there is often a learning curve for US athletes joining the CFL. It's a significantly different game. I wish the guy luck. If he gets it together he could play a very long time up there with his physical gifts.
  7. He's most definitely not an oblong, slimy cold cut filled sandwich from Wegman's OR DiBella's. Like I said.......that's modest "I got a half hour" kinda' lunch food. And I've never considered Wegman's "NY deli"..............you can fairly easily replicate a Wegman's sub with some Oscar Mayer cold cuts. Even a real NY deli sandwich with Boar's Head brand cuts isn't tailgate food.
  8. The current team hasn't done a thing by comparison.........and the current roster doesn't stack up against the rest of the league like those early 90's teams did. It can't. Free agency has made it impossible to build and maintain dynastic rosters. But I'm not sure that fans have been clinging to those 90's teams as much as you think they have..........a lot of the nostalgia/merchandise you are seeing is basically just the fact that for marketing purposes the 2020's are going to be all about 90's nostalgia.......just like the 2010's were about 80's nostalgia and the 1980's were about 50's nostalgia etc.. It's just coinciding with the fact that the team is competitive again. Also interesting to note that in the early 1990's the country was going to war and going thru a terrible recession and now the country has gone thru a pandemic and is struggling economically once again.
  9. Yes. For some time they sold DiBella's subs in stores as a cross marketing effort.........built up business for their deli using DiBella's.........and then dropped DiBella's and just made their own using the DiBella's ingredients/formulas. They are all just plain old subs though. Work day lunch food. Eating cold cut samiches of any kind on game day is a sure sign that you are boring.
  10. They underachieved to an 11-6 finish last year when they should have been a 15-2 type team. So they need to play up to their ability this year.........a second straight loss to an inferior opponent would be another case of not stepping up to the challenge. And yes, Baltimore is inferior...........they have a terrible defense both against the pass and the run and their run game has been lousy and their OL is a mess.........the Bills need to take care of business.
  11. Hate the dude that brings stinky PF Changs food on the plane.
  12. Who is the idiot that thought they were in emotional agony? That's a bunch of wealthy twenty something dudes enjoying life.........Gronk partied has ass off the night after the Patriots lost that SB to the Eagles.........it's a job and those kinda' guys aren't going to dwell on losses no matter how big and no matter how much some sad-lifed, doom-fantasy fans wants them to. And this loss leaves a mark but it's not very big in the grand scheme of things. Now a 35 year old QB finally getting to and losing a SB he's been trying to reach all his career? Maybe a different story. Josh could lose the SB and give you the sad face for the camera because he has a lot of emotional intelligence and knows the fans are distraught........but he's probably not going to miss his tee time the next morning.
  13. Yep. His desire to compete writes checks his body can't cash. That play that he was concussed on last night he had all day to throw the ball away and move on to the next play. The NFL put all sorts of protections in place for these QB's but you still have to throw the ball away sometimes. A lot of these young QB's are pushing the envelope and taking too many hits but Tua really can't take them. The guy entered the league handicapped with a half-fake hip after taking an absolute beating at Alabama..........a place where he played behind the best OL in football every week with the best receivers.
  14. The Yankees minor league teams ran absolutely wild stealing bases this season. Very much looking forward to the young players bringing that to the field in the next couple seasons. The shift alone won't change players approach at the plate.........but in unison with more runners in scoring position and on base it should matter in how players approach hitting. One of the reasons players really bought into launch angles to hit the ball over shifts was a dearth of runners on base and a lively ball. Ball has been deadened........the rest is to come.
  15. They have the talent to be but they looked disinterested tonight, IMO.
  16. What makes it easier to appreciates is that all the steroid HR record breakers were in the National League...............so 61 still ties a significant record. And the background is that the ball has been deadened and batting averages have plummeted.........and still he did it...........his season is an absurd outlier of production. Looking forward to some of the changes next year.......games being cut by 20 minutes in length by the pitch clock........shifts banned........bigger bases making the running game much more valuable and rewarding players for making contact.......
  17. I don't know about that. The Bengals have a better QB, better receiving corps, better RB, better pass rushers. There was a glaring difference in the effort to the ball between the two defenses. Dolphins did a good job on Burrow and a great job on the Bengals running game. Bengals D effort was much less consistent.
  18. The score perhaps but the Dolphins effort was surprising. Looked like maybe they had a little gatorade in their adderall.
  19. Nice kick in the nuts loss for the Dolphins. They played A LOT harder than Cinci tonight.........coming off a much tougher game and having to travel........but come away empty handed. The Bills game didn't seem to take anything out of the majority of the Dolphins...........except that concussion that Tua got and maybe some hard miles on Xavien Howard.
  20. Bengals D playing like they shouldn't be expected to be playing hard every down..............Dolphins D playing hard every down........only reason this game is close.
  21. The game is an NFL product........and the on air talent is taught to never criticize the product. And you can't really discuss it without talking about the controversy over his return after an obvious concussion 5 days ago..........which is definitely criticizing the product. Nothing good can come from them talking about it in game............it will be a hot issue online and with talking heads on TV/radio in coming days.
  22. The fact that nobody else is complaining should tell you that your internet feed or your wifi are likely failing you.
  23. Amazon streaming IS great. I've never had the problem you are talking about.........great 4K picture for baseball and now football games, no issues..........so it's likely a problem on your end that you are unaware of.
  24. It had better. CTE could have cancelled pro football.........it's put a big hit on youth football enrollment.........the league had done a pretty good job of limiting the amount of nasty concussions that we see by being extra careful in recent years. But leave it to the douchebag Dolphins organization that has spent the last couple years acting like rules don't apply to them to pretend like the concussion crisis never happened and let Tua get annihilated 5 days after clearly suffering a concussion against Buffalo.
