  1. Hearsay is exactly what this is and nothing more. There isn’t one shred of “evidence”!
  2. I was also at that game. As I remember it, Syracuse with McNabb made a great comeback to take the lead. Then after a questionable PI call Tennessee kicked the winning field goal with a few seconds left. Then, I believe Tennessee went on to win the national championship.
  3. Fine if that’s what you really meant. Then why did you quote all those statistics and his losses during his rookie year? When you compare him to, of all quarterbacks, Baker Mayfield. I think anyone reading that post would have to ride the same conclusion I did. Your post was a mixed message in that respect
  4. Disagree strongly! Aikman was a terrific QB who absolutely belongs in the HOF. The numbers you quote are not relevant to his being in the hall. It was a different era for these kinds of things. And his rookie season was no different than Peyton Manning‘s rookie season. I have to wonder if you ever saw him play. If Mayfield was the Dallas quarterback back then they would not have won anything let alone a couple of Super Bowls. However he is a boring color analyst
  5. I have never been to Hawaii and can be of no help to you in this matter. I am posting this to let you know that I really like the question.
  6. I know Pittsburgh is here fair and square and all of that, but they really shouldn’t be here.
  7. We have chickens and have a rooster named Dalton. Josh was Dalton tonight!
  8. I Feel So Good….I’m Gonna Break Somebody’s Heart Tonight
  9. There is definitely an over reliance on analytics in football. Several posters of already noted the small sample size in most of the statistics which significantly limits any predictive value. I would also like to see standard deviation measures in football analytics. I’m guessing the standard deviation will be quite high making it even more difficult to predict in a specific situation. A nomothetic approach doesn’t work with a small sample size. In this case an idiographic or situational approach is better. The only place in sports where analytics seem to work well is in baseball regarding the infield shifts. And this is only because most hitters are unable or unwilling to change how they hit. also, keep in mind that when a coach makes a decision based on the situation and not on analytics this is not just using his “gut”. These decisions are usually based on accumulated empirical information gained from experience.
  10. It’s like Herbert got his own rebound. That was a pretty good athletic play!
