I agree. If anything I think the Ravens are a better run game/QB combo. Lamar’s legs plus Henry carry them in that ranking. I still say Allen is the better all around QB by a decent margin even though Lamar’s passing game is under rated. But again Henry and the run game > a very good Cook is carrying the load for both pairings Somebody mentioned Philly above. Barkley is lights out but I am very “meh” on Jalen Hurts. Once his contract comes due on the cap, the Eagles are toast. No way they’re in the top pairing for anything.

I believe that was the “perfect game” game. Certainly impossible to say any of this with certainty. But if you’re going to ask “ it did it help” have a perfect passer rating is likely a tough result for your hypothesis. I hadn’t gotten all the way through the thread. I thought this was just a “do players use reporters for fuel?” Convo. To which I say unequivocally yes. In regards to does it help? I’ll just reference the Thomas Theorem. “If men define a situation as real, they are real in its consequences”.

You don’t remember the “I don’t know who the fork they thought I was” game against the Patriots. I believe he chirped hard at Jalen Ramsey the game after the trash comment. You’re referencing what Allen says in his pressers. Which is nothing. But he gets caught with hot mics on the field chirping at players for stuff they’ve said about him or the team all the time.

Is that the chroisen one?!?!

I’ve been pounding this drum the last week or two. Mack Hollins isn’t just our best ST’er. He’s the best in the league. He was 100% a pro bowl and AP snub.

And it will get cheaper. The way these ticket sites own so many blocks they’re incentivized to artificially drive up prices early. Nearly every single event I’ve bought ticket to the last few years, the tickets have always gotten cheaper. To the extent I won’t do presale anymore. EDIT: To add on, I think it then drives down ticket prices more than normal. People see $400 on day one and say they can’t afford it and/or give up on purchasing so they have to slash prices so they aren’t sitting on a million tickets.

As somebody who worked as a coach in an open water sport for a long time it is generally true. Certainly not a hard and fast rule, but it is true more often than not. Worst water of the day is traditionally 12-4pm-ish. It is because of the change in temperature as the sun warms up the day.

I believe the rule with the MNF WC game is that winner has to play Sunday.

Sorry that’s what I meant by wave it off. I don’t need Shakir returning any kicks. But if he has to be a kick catcher fine by me.

Rousseau wasn’t an all pro this year. lol. I am surprised at Brown not getting a vote. Cook to an extent but it was a runaway for Henry/Barkley so a little less surprised. I thought Hollins has been a special teams coverage stud. A bit surprised. But it’s not a position many are paying attention to.

He’s good at the stuff when the camera is on the field and the play clock is running. He's embarrassingly terribly at the yuck yuck stuff in between. They should turn his mic off between plays.

Forgive my ignorance for the FO structure in Detroit, but CEO and Special Assistant to the Owner sounds a lot like a different name for President of Football Ops. Wouldn’t GM of the Jets be at best a lateral move, if not a demotion?

Unless it’s for sure handedness for a fair catch and/or decision making, Shakir is too valuable to our offense in the passing game to risk injury trying to take a punt return to the house. The odds of Shakir going for 100 yards and 2 TD’s on offense have got to be 3-4x higher than him returning a punt for a TD. Put him back there, fine. But he has to be instructed to waive it off.

It’s because of the QB situation in the AFC. Allen, Mahomes, Lamar, Burrow. Love, Goff, Stafford, Hurts It is no contest which QB group is better. It’s not even close.

The very best thing about living outside of Buffalo is the extra work it takes to listen to WGR. It’s one of the few times in life that a barrier to entrance is a net positive. At no point in my day am I ever tempted to switch on my AM radio to 550 because I’m way out of the area. If I am putting in the effort to use my phone instead of Sirius then I’m throwing on Nugs or Spotify. It’s awesome!

Me too. The AFCN are harder on each other than any division in football. But also the Steelers have been really bad. Ultimately I think sports shows and the league are trying to spotlight Nix and Payton as the “next big thing”. Tomlin and Russ aren’t as compelling even if they do have a better chance.

Saturday, Monday, California, or Arizona. Going to be tough for those guys to get up and prep for a football game. Honestly, how many players have families and/or homes in SoCal. Really tough focus week for a lot of guys across the league I’m sure.

No. Manning is clearly one of the best QB’s of all time. Dungy was lucky to have Manning. So was Caldwell. That’s my point. Dungy was a very good coach elevated by a great QB. Edit: I don’t think Dungy is a HoF coach without Manning. Manning was great Dungy was very good. Both cannot be elevated to great given their lack of championships. Manning and Dungy are a much less muddled example of Sean Payton and Drew Brees. The OP I quoted said Brees was a top 10’QB. I was adding on about Sean Payton.

This! Obviously we don’t know what happens if somebody else is in that position. But come on. What’s the alternative? Douglas? Even Ingram has filled in inside and outside with some success. Losing Ingram or Douglas would be way worse than Codrington. Not that’s ST isn’t important, it is. But we have guys capable of fair catching the ball if needed. We have less guys capable of playing DB.

At the risk of derailing the threat I’ve long argued that both Peyton and Brees cannot both be considered amazing. They just can’t. A top 10 all time QB with a top 10 all time coach gets to more than 1 Super Bowl. Full stop. I think Brees was very good. I also think Peyton was very good. Neither were great and neither deserve to be treated n the conversation of “great”. Look at Andy Reid in Philly. He was great there, but now he’s getting GOAT’d (by some) with Mahomes. Reid was pretty good with a pretty good QB with McNabb. If Brees is better than McNabb how are we considering Peyton awesome? Or was Brees just a volume passer elevated by a great coach? But both can’t be great or they’d have more success.

Meh, I think both Seahawks jerseys are great just different .

He looked like he was pretty high on something though. Lol

I might have missed the entire interaction here but, it “so you’re saying McD will win a SB with his next team” in relation to Andy Reid and McD certainly seemed like a joke. You guys must be a blast at kids parties too. Sheesh.

I am not defending our defense or McD. But I tend to agree a bit here. We aren't exactly built like Indy with Dwight Freeney. But the defense is built to force offenses to try and keep up with our offense. On the flip side, we've had huge issues (LAR, BAL) when our offense can't get going. McD has done OK vs. Lamar holding him to 24, 3, 20, and 35 (woof) points. But on the flip side Harbaugh has done well against Allen holding him to 17, 17, 23, and 10. Looking at those numbers it is almost surprising to see that they are 2-2 head to head.

I have become quite underwhelmed with the Cover 1 coverage the last few years. But now they are chasing clicks and comment on things outside of their wheel house and produce commentary for the sake of clicks. They can be, and often are, wrong about stuff these days. Their tweets and videos have been treated as gospel the last few years even though their content has fallen off a cliff in quality. Now it appears that the C1 guys themselves think they are infallible. That was a totally reasonable exchange. No need need to get all offended because somebody disagreed with you.
