Miyagi-Do Karate

Hats off to Vrabel. They had no business being in that game. He is a meathead, but a really great coach.

Sort of what I expected against UVA. I absolutely hate playing them. They hand check you to the death and it just becomes a sloppy mess of a game. Nice to see Cuse fight back and make it a game.

I don’t get though how there weren’t illegal men down field.

We ran that same double fake reverse in college intramurals. It also resulted in a fumble (and two guys crashing into each other).

Plus, Division opponent games can be wonky. If I am the chiefs, I don’t want any part of the chargers.

I will console myself with the fact that the chiefs will probably get the chargers in the second round— the one team that I wanted to avoid.

that was so obvious and blatant.

I would feel a little better about this game if Carr were out there.

I wonder if it was too much of a gray area that the Bills didn’t want to risk some weird rules snafu.

I have changed my tune on the 1 seed. It is looking like the chargers are locked into the 5 seed. So that probably means the 1 seed gets them in the divisional round. I would rather play the 3/4 winner (bengals or likely ravens).

so true.

The market doesn’t lie. Clowney seems to be the only one surprised that no one will sign him to more than a 1-year deal.

Let me remind you how these regular season chiefs games go: 1) chiefs mostly play bad 2) other team makes boneheaded play at the end 3) chiefs win by 3

an “elite run defender” is exactly the same type of nonsense that is applied to Sammy— who was considered elite at “drawing coverage away from other receivers.” Those are just ways to make excuses for lack of actual production. Clowney was the number 1 overall pick in the draft, and the numbers don’t lie. His production as a defensive end is putrid. Elite ends are expected to stop the run— that is just par for the course. But they are paid to sack the QB. Clowney is just a plain bad. And he apparently also has a bad attitude. There is a reason that no one wants to pay him money and no one ever wants to re-sign the guy. The one time a team Re-signed him (Browns), they clearly now have regretted it.

Nah. Clowney is basically the defense version of Sammy Watkins.

The Super Bowl is always played at a perfect weather location or indoor spot. Why not the same for the AFCCG?

i agree. I don’t understand how anyone can speculate as to cause, including the NFL docs. Let’s all hope it is something rare like commotio cordis, as the NFL docs have speculated. But it is driving me a little crazy that people are speculating on various causes and calling things “misinformation” already. I am just hoping it isn’t some undiagnosed heart defect or something that could be recurring.

I don’t know why, but I always have had a soft spot for NP and will root for him this week.

Obviously lost in the shuffle is how much we are going to also miss Damar on the field. The guy was doing an admirable job holding down the fort, for a young guy with very little experience before this year. And he saved us from Jaquan Johnson, who turned out to be pretty awful in coverage. At this point, the options aren’t great. Johnson is a liability in coverage. Marlowe knows the system but has been inactive, so not sure the staff views him as an upgrade over Johnson. I don’t know if they would ever consider moving a corner (like Benford) over to safety at this late juncture in the season, but I hope they are having those discussions.

haha— I am going to have to try this. I bet my kids will love it too.

“Whatever happened to that wot a guy?” ”beats me.” (long pause) ”anyway, so, should we fire Frazier or what?”

Seems like a thinner version of Buffalo chicken dip?

you are preaching to the choir about why these kids shouldn’t transfer. But that seems to be the way of college bball now. I really love Copeland’s potential— but he is good as gone. Also, guys like Carey, Brown, Taylor, and Bell all seem like transfer risks.

I hate to be such a Debbie Downer, but I sometimes question why I am even watching this team. They aren’t good. And I can’t even watch anymore for future player development because all these young guys will probably transfer. 😢
