He probably could have done it, too. We often hear how players from long ago eras couldn’t possibly compete against today’s bigger, faster, 24/7, 365 NFL player and that’s usually the case. But Jim Brown could have played and been a force today as well. 6’2”, 230lbs. with world class speed can play in all eras.

Never missed a game. RIP Jim Brown.

Rodney was an absolute joke machine. He’d do his monologue on Carson and then sit down and rip off a dozen more jokes for good measure. “My wife’s cooking is so bad, the flies out back pitched in to have the screen door fixed.”

Your marketing teacher must have been a George Carlin fan because that’s right out of one of his routines.

Turnovers always help. But the fact remains, the Jets offense controlled 36 minutes of possession time against a defense that had lost twice in its last 30 games. A defense that was considered one of the best ever at the time and was the main reason Baltimore was such a prohibitive favorite heading into the game.That was the deciding factor. And it was Namath’s play calling, Namath’s quarterbacking, that drove it. But yeah, let’s let the stat line tell the whole story. It’s just so much easier than an actual breakdown of the game.

If he has a good camp, I think McD will start him game one.

Namath had the Jets offense on the field for over 36 minutes in SB 3 so while the Jets D played well, they weren’t on the field long enough to be the deciding factor. In an era when QBs called their own plays and the still wide hash marks essentially denied offenses a third of the field, Namath orchestrated a masterful game. He had the vaunted Colts defense running all over the field. He earned every bit of that MVP award because the people who voted for it understood the difference between a mere passer and a quarterback.

Having not been alive to see them play and having little to no understanding of the game in historical context, I’ll just pull up some Pro Football Reference pages and make grand pronunciations on who deserves to be in the Hall of Fame or not. Bronko Nagurski who?

Did someone say Slim Pickens?

The recency bias is off the charts.

What don’t you understand about the term “tongue in cheek?”

I’m saying it’s the Bills doing the favor for Von, not Ray. A tongue in cheek comment. I’d be shocked if Ray makes the team though.

Favor for Von.

The LBs listed in the post I responded to were all LBs expected to compete for that middle role so I was specifically thinking of MLB in my post. If he can quickly grasp McD’s concepts, I think we will see him as the starting MLB sooner than later. McD certainly isn’t shy about starting a young rookie there. He has all the physical attributes required for the position as I don’t think his lighter weight is a limiting factor in the least. And his freakishly long arms for a man of his height are an advantage as well in both shedding blocks and in pass defense. I hadn’t seen much of if any of him before we selected him and at first blush I was like others thinking it was Bernard 2.0. But after a deeper dive into his video it became clear to me why we took him. He’s more instinctive, trusts those instincts and plays fast as a result. I think he’s farther along than Edmunds was at the same stages of their careers. While Kincaid and Torrence pique my interest, I’m looking forward to watching his progression the most.

I have to disagree. If Williams pans out, he is capable of being a three down LB. He’s already better in coverage than the other three listed.

Allen was considered a massive gamble only by talking head pundits spewing nonsense about an arbitrary 60% completion threshold and how nobody with his college numbers ever made it in the NFL. And people just ran with that narrative as if it were gospel. But NFL scouts and GMs never considered him a “massive gamble” in the least. After his 2016 college season, he had cemented himself as a future top 10 pick in the draft. They were able to review every pass attempt at Wyoming and break it down in detail, including with input from his coaches. Why? To add the context necessary to make a more informed analysis. Taking head pundits simply lack the time and resources necessary to vet prospects to that level of scrutiny. Especially QBs prospects, which are the most difficult to project. That’s just those aspects that pertain to his physical ability to succeed. Allen’s aptitude for the position, from both a schematic and leadership ability standpoint was off the charts. Something, again, his critics weren’t privy to. He blew people away with his recall ability and whiteboard breakdowns. Daboll said he never saw anyone like him when it came to that mental aspect. I’ve heard that echoed by a few others as well. The only real concern about Allen was his sheer inexperience at the position as he didn’t attend elite QB camps since middle school nor make it his singular focus in high school. But everyone agreed that could be mitigated with time in a pro system with pro coaches learning the intricacies of the position. As it turned out he wasn’t afforded the time and instead was forced to start much sooner than hope for. And his progression speaks well of all the things the scouts and GMs got right before he was drafted. Lucky us.

There were reports that the elbow injury impacted his ability on swing passes and screens so that makes sense. He certainly didn’t have trouble rippin’ it on straight rope, though. That pass to Diggs to set up the win against Detroit was a rocket. As was the game ending play against the Jets just two plays after sustaining the injury. Nearly 70 yards to Davis on a rope down the left sideline that beat Sauce Gardner. Davis could have caught that ball.

This is irrefutable as they are one of the least blitzing teams in the league and that is directly related to their front four and quick LBs who can close and cover quickly.

There are any number of plays during the course of a game that we can look at, but some are far more egregious than others. Cook’s run didn’t win the game for them, it just made the game seven points closer with us still up 10 at the time. But our failure to prevent that 4th and 18 conversion with two minutes left directly prevented us from winning that game.

Loved the scene with Shah saying teams really wanna win the Emmy more than the Lombardi because it’s heavier. 😂

The goal line fumble never should have been able to happen in the first place. Vikings had a 4th and 18 at their own 27 with two minutes to go and our crap D couldn’t make a stop. 4th and 18! We stop that one play and it’s victory formation for the win instead of the sequence that followed.

I doubt any NFL team is ignorant of the still pending civil case and until that’s resolved I doubt any would welcome the distraction in season. The public tend to dismiss civil suits as less serious, but while the bar for the jury to find guilt is lower, the charges filed in them are often very serious, as is the case here. That said, imo her attorney is doing her a great disservice given the DA findings. That will carry weight in the courtroom, regardless.

Pretty sure it’s Dalai Lama just having fun.
