WHY would anyone complain about this? It's a feel good thing for the fans, which is sort of the point of sports!

I hear you, and it would be amazing. But I just can't do another Brady Super Bowl. It's enough already. The sooner the Buccaneers lose the better. Then the playoffs are just fun.

Inspired by this thread, I've been watching a ton of Thurman highlights on YouTube Imagine Thurman on this team! If anyone here was too young to see him play, check out some of his old games. There's a reason they called him the Thurmanator. Dude was close to unstoppable. In fact, just about the only defense for him was us not giving him the ball on a given play. A game like Saturday night? Patriots wouldn't have a prayer. Thurman would pile up 150+ all purpose yards no problem, and maybe more.

He might be having issues finding a place to live... have you checked Zillow around here?

Love that thumbnail! 4 QBs shouting and looking nuts and Rodgers looking like he just had some scotch and wants to talk about "holistic medicine"

So no Borg, then.

The only games I can re-watch are old Super Bowls that NFL uploads on YouTube with the breaks cut out. Just re-watched the Cardinals/Steelers one they put up because it was Madden's last game, and I had forgotten how insane that SB was... So many wild swings all game long! That said, my version of hell is that I'm strapped to a chair and forced to watch the Atlanta/NE Super Bowl on repeat for eternity, including the post game. Easily the worst thing I've ever seen on a screen of any type.

Bills Bengals Packers anyone but the Buccaneers

I think the best approach is to ignore the weather and play ball. As soon as the Bills did that in the MNF hurricane game Allen started completing passes. This game is just cold air.

Big Ben looks like he's throwing a 10 pound medicine ball when he passes, so I don't see it happening.

Agreed!

Just think of how Rodgers' career would be different if he had already won 3 Super Bowls and was trying to tie Joe Montana with #4 this year. The NFC Title Game is a hurdle he just can't seem to get over.

2018 and 2019 games? How about double-digit wins in each of the 2021/22 games! and that's with Allen not playing well.

If the goal is to stack Super Bowls then you stay in the NFC. That's (IMO) why Brady chose the Bucs. He knew the AFC was much tougher in terms of getting to the Super Bowl, and you've got to get to them to win them, If Rodgers was even .500 in NFC title games he would have played in 3 Super Bowls already. NFC North is a wasteland. AFC West would be Mahomes, Herbert and even Carr/Raiders 2x a year, plus now Rodgers. That's insane! NFC has like 3 or 4 good QBs. AFC West alone would have 4 if he went there.

That's OK, we can agree to disagree on that. I think Dawkins is starting to finally get back into form after going through a bad case of Covid, and that is also helping, as is our rookie RT getting more settled in. I would say the Bills OL is NFL average, maybe a touch above when everyone is healthy and in the right spots.

Packers are loaded at almost every position, which is why it's nuts that Rodgers would want to leave there. Not only that but they're about to get a very good WR (Cobb) both starting tackles, their best OLB, and a starting corner back, and maybe their starting center. They've played most of the season without all those guys on the field at once. Chiefs though are very top heavy with a handful of amazing players and a lot of whoevers.

I think an argument can be made that Thurman was the best RB in the NFL in the last 40 years. Imagine him in today's game? He was unstoppable back then. Also I think the last Bill to be named league MVP

Mason Crosby has been off this season suddenly. Coincidence? I doubt it!

A truly great punter is a huge weapon for your team. I'd draft him in the 3rd round. He can also kick if needed, which is enormous. It's not common, but kickers do pull something or get hurt during a game, and if that's a playoff game you could be in big trouble if your punter isn't a good kicker, which most are not. This is actually a really interesting philosophical discussion. How high would you draft a punter? What if you thought you could be drafting the greatest punter of all time? What is that worth? A guy who can flip field position, kick well when needed, bring passion and energy, get you out of trouble by booming punts out of your own end, and consistently pin the other team deep for your defense to go to work could theoretically be a big reason you win a game or two a season. I might go as high as a low 1st rounder if I think I'm getting a once in a lifetime punter, as crazy as that sounds. I think that helps the team in an immediate and tangible way more than a guard there, for example.

I hope they orient the new stadium or build it in such a way as to cut down on the wind. Anyone who shops at the Wegmans right by the stadium can attest that it is ALWAYS windy and miserably cold over there.

I think it's good for today's NFL. Line play overall is mediocre to bad league-wide.

As bad as the cold is, players are only out in the open exposed to it for short spurts. Then they come to the sideline, get heavy jackets, hats, and stand in front of heaters that are like standing in front of the sun. He'll be OK

We've got the right combo on the OL and they are finally giving Singletary the touches he needs to get rolling (again) like he did early in his career. I'm not saying Singletary is a top 10 RB, but he's plenty good enough to be your #1 guy.

After reading that article I'm in love with this player. Like, I'd take him over a 450 pound DT kind of love.

But that's true for any team with a dynamic weapon. Take Lamar Jackson out of the equation and suddenly Baltimore is just another team.
