Well, my prediction turned out to be a 6-1 heater with an overtime loss on the road at Philly the only blemish, but I’ll take it.

Despite all the gaffs when we repeatedly shot ourselves in the foot, the play that pissed me off the most was not getting that last first down on 4th down with a half yard to go. We would have salted the game then and there and nobody would have sweated the final moments.

The vast, VAST majority of players never win SBs, so it’s no surprise that the vast, VAST majority of QBs wouldn’t, either. Same goes for coaches, great or not.

There once was a receiver named Hill Who possessed great speed and much skill But down in Miami He pulled his right hammy And wished he was a Buffalo Bill

Peterman wasn't the guy he was expected to learn from. That was supposed to be AJ McCarron and Josh was supposed to carry a clipboard while joined at the hip with Daboll. But as Beane later said, “AJ wasn’t who we thought he was.” And the rest is history.

And no QB is more cordial in accepting the snap from center, too.

Pennix is gonna make some NFL team very happy.

Another Little Dirty would be far easier to find than another Beasley, who read the field like a QB, both pre and post snap.

Never liked Harbaugh, but I’m happy to see Alabama go home.

Memories linger No wins in the seventies Can’t avenge enough

When is any coach not coaching for his job?

End of the first half yesterday was the latest example. We could have gotten the ball back with over two minutes left if he had taken his timeouts when he should have.

That doesn’t do anything to make me feel better about McD’s ineptitude in managing the clock.

He has his moments, but it seems he doesn’t know the first thing about clock management.

Vintage Crayonz. 😂

It was reported up thread that the 700k viewers who tuned in for the Bills/Chargers game represented 12% of the viewers in the LA market, so pardon me if the word “share” was misused. You work in the TV advertising field and you’re telling me the NFL advertisers were OK with attracting 700k viewers in a TV market the size of LA? Well, if they’re happy then the advertisers who spent half the money for a commercial spot on different networks that attracted more viewers must be ecstatic. While I appreciate the link, I’m not sure how that information from October is relevant to the Bills/Chargers audience last Saturday night.

Great stuff. I watch Growler Jams and other channels like it every chance I get. The skill these guys display is off the charts. Best pilots in the world and we can all take great pride in that.

Love Dan Campbell.

So the scenario is now the NFL expanding vs the Saudis forming a competing league like they did with LIV golf? That’s at least plausible but the idea of a separate league to compete with the NFL is a pipe dream.

The Saudis can buy any non NFL football league they want or start a brand new one and they can pay mega bucks for star players to play in their new league. And it will fail. Miserably. As has every other such experiment to challenge the NFL stranglehold on popularity. The NFL is king and PGA, LIV, or any other pro golf offering isn’t even a blip on the competition radar so I don’t think that’s the best example to illustrate whatever Saudi Arabia’s burgeoning influence in pro sports may be.

700k in LA is not a good number for advertisers who pay the NFL premium rates. In fact, it sucks. When advertisers see a 12% share of viewers, it’s a loss because that means 88% of the viewing market has their eyes on something else.

It’s been playoff games since the loss to the Broncos.
