Miyagi-Do Karate

I really enjoy these. But I hear you— these recaps take a lot of time and effort. For my fantasy league, I used to do detailed predictions each week for years, and everyone loved them, but they took a ton of work. In the end, it became less fun (and I wasn’t even sure everyone still enjoyed them or read them as much), and so I stopped. I think I moved to doing them only for the playoffs, and then stopped altogether.

i am in a similar bind. Going to Disney world with the family that weekend. My best shot to watch it is a late game. the alternative for me is to get game pass, avoid media, and watch the game at like 11 PM at night.

i understand it is ageist— but, to be clear, it is not something I personally believe in. I firmly Believe that Leslie Frazier should be a head coach. In fact, I am in the minority I am sure, but I think the Broncos should keep 62-year old Vic Fangio, who I believe is an excellent coach. But I believe the newest NFL fad is that if you aren’t some young 30-year old, you aren’t innovative and you can’t coach. Have you noticed how obsessed the media is with Brandon Staley? He gives some ho-hum answer on why running the ball Is important, and the media thinks he is brilliant. The NFL is obsessed with the young whipper-snapper coaches.

don’t you love how consistently the worst window of weather every week in Buffalo is exactly during game time? BTW, wind gusts at game time are estimated to be around 30 MPH.

i think that made him a re-re-tread.

yeah, I suppose riddick isn’t a retread. But dungy and Frazier are— and both in their 60s. Dungy a retread in the same sense as Marv was— coming out of a long retirement at an older age. but don’t shoot the messenger. I am not saying that I personally believe this to be a bad idea. But obviously the league is going more in the 30-year old upstart HC direction. I just find it unlikely for the bears to buck that trend, and hire riddick and a couple of 60-year olds to run their team. If I had to guess, they will go with a younger offensive coordinator type as the HC.

Would be a really tough sell/high risk to re-build your team with three 65-year old retreads at critical positions. The NFL seems to be trending to younger and more innovative coaches. But who knows? The Texans went out and hired David Culley last year.

there are several scenarios. The one I think is possible is: Browns beat bengals, and raiders beat chargers— that would Make us the 3 and the raiders the 6.

2.8. he is on track for like 80 passing attempts for 175 yards.

The browns need to just run a bunch of draws here. What is going on with this playcalling?

knowing the browns, they will fall for the infamous Clowney 1-year trap and sign him to a long-term deal.

Consider this— the biggest play of this game was Clowney throwing a shoe.

i don’t know. Steelers have like 3 possession receivers, a RB that looks like a young Najeh Davenport, and a mediocre line. They are going to need an infusion of a lot more talent beyond the QB position. Browns though have no excuse— they have probably equivalent offensive talent and similar to scheme to Indy.

I feel like Ben has a decent amount of arm left. His line and skill players are just all meh. You put him on the colts, and he is much better than wentz.

Classic griese cliche. when will griese use the word “leverage”— guarantee he uses it 20 times this game.

yeah, just like all these new reports about how Rex begged the NYJ front office to draft Travis Kelce.

Thanks, man. I swear, it seemed like I didn’t see him out there once, and yet I felt like I saw AJ and Eli (same snap count) a lot more.

Apparently, TD had Ben ranked as the top QB on his board and almost did that deal. Would love to know now how close/far apart they were. If it was like a future 3rd round pick, ugh….

I was texting with a buddy who is a Steelers fan and is at the game. We watched the 2004 draft together and he went nuts/angry when the Steelers picked Big Ben. He was like, “So stupid! They could have had Dunta Robinson!” We still remind him of that.

I posted this elsewhere, but it got buried. Did Star play yesterday? I didn’t see him on the inactives, but also didn’t notice him once on the field.

If the 50 MPH wind game didn’t convince the Bills to build a roof, then nothing will. But I hear you. Just time to pray for good weather conditions every Sunday from now on out.

First off, my dome brothers, I have really enjoyed complaining about this all year with all of you. Second, all I can remember is Josh playing two games in perfect weather conditions in Arizona last year, and throwing absolute lasers. How can you not want that every week? Behold:

Rodgers smartly going on after his team wrapped up a bye.

Did Star even play yesterday?
