Honestly... that's the Raiders franchise in a nutshell. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Two superbowls cover a multitude of football sins in the eyes of sports media.

Back to Back defensive TDs in seven seconds of clock time.

Pick Six from Saint Patrick!

Ah well. Unfortunately Miami got the lucky bounce they needed to barely beat a winning team. But everything else broke our way. I'll take it.

Is it possible that DeShaun Watson is an ever bigger lockeroom cancer than we could have thought? Apart from the fact that the entire human race cheers when his scumbag ass gets obliterated on the field?

Jets and Pats wins are A-OK this week. The division doesn't need more talent outside of the 716.

I try to imagine what this board would have looked like back in the glory days. You can only assume their would be a round of mass suicides every february from 1990 to 1994. Or at least processions of flagellants circling the Ralph.

Troll threads are waaaayy too successful, waaaayy too often.

So there was no earthly way DeSantis could have anticipated any of the strategies that have kneecapped his campaign? Not from the Dems, not from Trump, not from anybody? Is he just a poor little victim of the big bad wolves?

The dark art of gamesmanship is part of being a talented player. Tom Brady is the biggest whiner, the biggest bitcher, and the biggest cheat who ever played, except for his coach. Nobody's ever going to take his rings or pull the banners down at Gillette. The NFL has said that loud and clear. If Josh wants to flop in a stiff breeze, go ahead Josh. If he wants to stiffarm Aaron Donald or truck Kyle Van Noy, go ahead Josh.

I like the Patty Melt. I was going to call the Chiefs game 13 Inches.

I can't wait for this episode of Hard Knocks: In Season. Can't wait.

Busy increasing his HighFootballIQ.

Completely agree. Vic Fangio's 4 minute defense was incomprehensible and inexcusable.

Today's stat. That is the first time in 767 NFL games that a team has lost when they were up 14 with sub 4 minutes left. Hasn't happened since 2016. Congratulations Miami!

This is the Marv Levy Trap. Marv should have been canned after 1st Dallas SB loss, because he'd lost his third SB in a row, his second SB blowout loss in a row. But he'd done so well... At this point, McD has shown his hand, like Marv showed his; he's not the guy to get us over the hump. Don't make the same mistake.

Not even close. The Brotherly Shove is a rugby scrum, repackaged to be NFL legal. The big difference is rugby players can hang onto each other so they can pack more bodies and more force into small spaces. NFL players are not allowed to "bind", like rugby players are, so the Eagles line their OL up with their shoulderpads almost touching. It's just that NFL teams refuse to fight it using rugby principles. Instead they trot out angled alignments, or some version of "the lowest blocker wins". And get steamrolled over, and over, and over. To even start beating it, the DL needs to match mass and alignment with mass and alignment...like two scrums do in Rugby. DL have to play heads up on every OL, or squared up in every gap to even have a chance. Otherwise, you just help create the carpet of downed players for Hurts to slide over.

Say it ain't so Mac! Who was the last good WR drafted by NE? David Patten? Troy Brown?

Apart from the six Superbowl wins, I guess you're right? How awesome would that be? The personally I want the Pats to end up around the 7 win mark. That should put them comfortably out of contention for a top QB prospect, but in pole position for a oversized MLB or a scrappy, undersized WR from Rutgers.

Nice stand by the Jets D. TB7 TD drive?

It's working now, they must have resolved whatever copyright crap was going on. Good. I appreciate the clarity of his argumentation. TLDR for everyone who doesn't have an hour: The war in Ukraine is an artillery war. Whoever has access to the most shells for the longest period of time has the upper hand. Right now, Ukraine has the upper hand, but it's slipping because Russia has shifted to a war economy, and has massively expanded production of artillery shells and rockets. Ukraine uses its upper hand to massacre Russian infantry with artillery fire. This forces Russia to pack its front lines with barely trained recruits, where they die in droves. Because so many of Russia's recruits die in droves to Ukrainian artillery without getting much training, the Russian army is too small and too poorly trained to decisively beat Ukraine. -For now- If Ukraine's supply of artillery ammunition can't keep up with Russia's, then Russia gains the upper hand. It is unlikely that Ukraine will keep up, because Europe refuses to make long term investment in its artillery ammunition infrastructure. This refusal is because Europe views the Ukraine war as a temporary inconvenience that is very expensive, which diverts from the real business at hand which is stability and economic growth. Which is all fine and dandy, except what happens if Ukraine loses, and Europe is suddenly staring at a fully-mobilized Russia, with a large, experienced, modern army, a vast nuclear arsenal, and the notion that all former Soviet states are its rightful property? And of course, Russia's ally China is achieving its military modernization goals with worrying speed and efficiency. This new Chinese military can only have one real enemy in mind, the USA, which means America might not be around to prop up European security if Russia successfully disentangles itself from Ukraine with a favorable settlement, or an outright win. Because America has many powerful Allies in the Indo-Pacific that it must defend. So actually, Russia and China are incentivizing eachother to press forward, either in their current war (Russia), or towards future war (China), because Europe views Ukraine as an expensive incovenience, and does not take defense and defense production seriously on strategic level, and so provides no real deterrent threat to Russia.

Standard warning posters who don't want their virgin ears to hear naughty words. Really gets cooking @ 5 minute mark. This is the best Jets fan rant in a long, long time. Adam, the ranter, is a teacher in Elmira, and his jester cap is...well it's outstanding.
