The Electric Company fat exceeds the current group at this point. Let’s see the present group play together more and gel a bit. The Company was phenomenal.

A chance? Sure. But you have to strongly favor the Pats.

They all get an incomplete grade from me in terms of just how good they'll be. I think Allen is progressing as is Jackson. They have the benefit of more table coaching regimes around them, and they each have decent O lines in front of them with some decent receivers. Mayfield and Darnold should be OK. Mayfield will suffer from having a completely inexperienced HC and a very suspect O line, plus a man child at WR who despite being very talented would rather draw attention to himself wearing $100,000 watches to play football. Darnold's O line is suspect, he just lost a key WR, and his HC is a basket case. And you just have to feel sorry for Rosen. I think Allen, Jackson, Darnold, and Mayfield will have long careers, maybe not elite but long. I think Rosen may say the hell with football after this season.

Culture or process aren’t important. Josh has a good game but this throw should have been picked or that throw was bad and on and on and on...... The terms homer, Kool Aid drinker

And they scored that drive anyway. Allen also doesn't need purported fans tying to tear his jock off, picking on every single throw as if it is be all and end all of his career and focusing on just the negative because it matches a pre-conceived narrative that he' never make it in the league. He's a young second year QB that's improving. Good for him. Odds are he'll have some struggles this eyar too. As young QBs do. He's not an All Pro based on yesterday because he played well, and he won't be a bust if and when he has a tough game. HE is a young developing QB that appears to have a pretty good future.

Come on now. Transplant is justhaving some fun with those who kept harping on the 60% completion rate as if were the Holy Grail. The kid is doing just fine. And he’ll miss some throws. So will Brady.

I’m waiting for the post that says he has to be over 70%

One is one too many

There are people here who would rather see the team lose or an individual player fail so they can say I told you so in an anonymous chat room. Strange but true.

You’re allowed. You look like a spoiled brat for doing so but you’re allowed.

Except Gore didn’t touch anyone. Great block by Morse.

Every successful organization has a successful culture. To suggest otherwise is fantasy.

Ok boys, let’s matriculate the ball down the field.

Is he Catholic? Just looked it up, he’s Presbyterian. So the comment about Catholic priests is not really relevant.

Then we’re different.

That’s me. I’m with Shaw.

I think she has a lot of education in statistical methods, and that her difficulty in predicting outcomes is a testimony to the complexity of NFL play.

Very proud of the organization for taking the lead on diversity and inclusion. Now if they would only extend my daughter an invitation to sing the anthem.....

Say goodbye to him

We’ll see

Why should he tip his hand?

That would be great but my assumption is we lose to the Pats every time so long as Brady and Belicheat are there.

It is not sample size, it is the approach each regime takes. That is independent of sample size. Do you think based on what you know of Terry Pegula that he would be serviced by immigrant women in a massage parlor? Do you think based on what we know of McD and Beane they would allow their employees to deliberately deflate footballs to gain an illegal advantage? Would they put up with Allen then lying about it? Would they illegally film other teams’ practices? Would they do that? You are taking one guy in Brown, a guy they did not sign, a guy they did not bring in, and trying to say that means they are likely no different that the Pats, who not only did all the above but brought this guy in after all the nonsense with the Raiders and still plan to play him after these latest allegations. You really think that comes close to equivalence?

You are wrong. Go back to the OP and Shaw specifically refers to Pegula, McD, and Beane. Is everyone on the roster and coaching staff going to be perfect? No. Shaw and I both mentioned Incognito as a guy they took inafter frank conversations with him. I don’t think you read the OP before posting this. Regarding the latter that can be disputed to put it mildly.

Calling people liars because they don’t happen to concur with your slant on things is ridiculous and you should be glad you’re not doing that to my face. Shaw was quite clear that this regime has had some guys with questionable stuff, Incognito being an example. What happened there was Terry and Kim had to be convinced by Richie that he had learned from his previous stuff and would straighten up. And he did. And while we can’t know for sure when they renegotiated his contract it may be they saw chinks in Richie’s armor and wanted to start guarding against that if he went off the deep end. Which he did and then was gone. Will this regime be perfect? Maybe not, none are. Will they be as Shaw states as amoral as the Pats? Not a chance.
