The phantom PI call against Nickell Robey-Coleman vs the Jags in London that set up the game winning TD pass by Bortles. All calls by Jerry Bergman against the Bills when we played the Dolphins in the 70s. Pat Toomay would agree, especially.

Yep. Ofer an entire decade against a team will do that to ya. I think a most hated rival depends a lot on our experiences as fans when we were kids. I suspect there is a generation of younger fans today who were scarred by the Belichick/Brady Patriots*** like we were by the Shula/Griese ‘Phins.

He really has no choice but to play it off as long as Hill is on the team.

What makes Benford’s season even more impressive last year is that he excelled on a very average defense, at best. Then again, opposing OCs had other weaknesses to exploit and chose them instead of testing Benford.

Benford isn’t listed in the snap counts so apparently didn’t play in the playoff game, anyway.

It was the last time we played them which was in Cinnci in ‘23. Chase was 4/41. The Hamlin game ended nine minutes into the first quarter with the Bengals leading 7-3. There are no stats from that game. Boyd had the erased TD pass from Burrow. Benford didn’t play in the playoff game three weeks later so there’s just no record of how he fared vs Chase. And we don’t know how much of that 4/41 night in ‘23 was against Benford, regardless. I’ll say this; as good as Benford is, he is not as good a CB as Chase is a WR. No shame in that though.

He was gonna quote Mark Whatley from 'The Martian' and say, "They scienced the $chit out of this.", but Pegs caught himself.

Are you as confused as the wind is gonna be?

Perhaps it’s different on other platforms for the app, but I’ve never been able to watch a show on the app when it was first showing on the HBO cable networks. Indeed, while I was watching it at 9 on Spectrum cable, my brother had to wait until that airing was over until he could watch it on the HBOMAX app. I wonder if others around here who couldn’t watch it on the app initially were able to at 10pm.

For what it’s worth, since Hard Knox is an HBO original show, it will air on the HBO tv cable networks at 9:00pm, while app users will have to wait until 10:00pm to watch it via the app.

IMO, the best series finale episode of all time.

As long as we can discuss Max Hairston’s knee injury, I’ll be good to go.😄

My bet would be no.

Mulligans on Hertel by any chance?

Yeah, I figured that after re-reading your post and your reference to Bosa and Epenesa. I’m not always quick on the uptake.😂

Not since the Beauts went out of existence.

Yep. Doesn’t matter how good your instincts are if you don’t have the athleticism to get to the place you know you have to be.

Agree entirely. Troy was one of those once in a generation players who redefined a position so anything close to that means greatness.

I’d add the zone-read as a modern parallel, too, as both the wishbone and zone-read require the QB to read the edge setter on defense.

Did you say anus problem?

Not only is Josh not the problem, he’s actually one of the best playoff QBs in history.

As I said last week, I’ve heard he is moving better than he has in years.

Good question. I’ve known several on the training/medical staffs over the years, so I’ll put out some feelers. I know that Denny Kellington took a big promotion with the Panthers earlier this year, but a couple still remain from the staff on the field saving Damar.
