K-9

Coaches play the odds. 8 men back on third and 10 is usually good odds. Oops.

Doesn’t matter what you do on first down if you end up in unmanageable third downs, especially if you’re playing behind the chains.

I read somewhere that since the 10 game win streak, the Sabres have played at a low 70 point clip. That just plain sucks and isn’t good enough. Keep that up and nothing is going down to the wire. We will be joining Philly as the only team in history to miss the playoffs after having a 10 game win streak.

Pretenders. Just not enough talent to make up for three fluke goals against. Playoffs next year. Maybe. I hope JBots has Quenneville’s number.

Wasn't trying to be tricky. It's a legitimate question. I get the sense you were just laying in wait for someone to respond like I did so you could spring the "he was hired a day after the draft" trap. Well done! Bravo! Maybe you should ask that janitor instead.

On all four lines. I miss those days when Lindy would just “roll four” and it was off to the races.

Better to ask the guys who were here like Whaley and McD.

I think he'll play well and generate points. But that defense won't be able to stop Luck and Co.. They are a sieve. The Colts' defense can at least make some plays here and there. KC's D just plain stinks.

The writer would have a better case making the argument that the Bears would gladly trade Trubisky instead.

I’ve loved the Packers since I was a kid and read Jerry Kramer’s ‘ Instant Replay.’

He's got a long way to go before he sports a pair of manboobs that can compete with Greggo's.

This is simply not true. Glenn was traded for two reasons: 1.) He was the cost to move up 9 picks in round one, which we needed to help secure a better move up position. 2.) Dion Dawkins showed well enough as his replacement in 2017 to allow McBeane to feel comfortable enough in letting him go. We can debate the wisdom behind both reasons, but his salary had nothing to do with it.

Good luck with that.

Finally! Dahlin back where he belongs. Took ya long enough, Phil.

Football abhorrence for a chance to draft Lawrence?

The situation demands that Clemson not snap the ball with more than 5 seconds on the play clock while the game clock is running. I'm a football purist, what can I say? Coaches should always be coaching. Even the little things in a blowout. Love seeing Alabama getting their asses handed to them, regardless.

Agree entirely, but the Alabama D is less of their opponent at the moment than the clock.

My one gripe with Clemson's coaches is that they are having Lawrence snap the ball with too much time left on the play clock. The quarter would be over by now if they stuck to 5 seconds or under. Football 101.

If he can get to 12k, I think McCoy has a better chance than Lynch to garner some hype, but I don't think he'll get in, either. We will have to agree to disagree on the 12k bar for running backs.

Complimenting other OLineman is not the same as insulting your own.

I guess we'll see. But I'll be surprised if he gets much hype outside whatever local writers are on the voting committee. Iconic is nice, but it doesn't necessarily equate to greatness. A few big plays, as impactful as they may have been and one he didn't get a chance to make just don't move the needle that much in voter's eyes. I like his TD total as a barometer, but there are a couple with more that won't see the HOF, either. And regardless of the move towards more passing vs. running in the league, 12k is still the new bar. And he's not close. Yardage and TDs are where it's at for RBs.

Peters is a first ballot lock. I doubt Lynch garners any consideration at all.

This doesn't surprise me in the least, just based on observing the kinds of passes he attempts compared to other QBs. I'm glad Daboll seems to recognize the rare arm talent he has at his disposal, too.
