  1. Washington Hogs Honors their history and Daniel Snyder
  2. An interesting strategy would be for Hines to return kickoffs even deep in the end zone if you load up with special team aces in the return game. Especially if other teams prioritize Special Teams less.
  3. Bills of the early 90's got a lot of fans in Africa.
  4. You're paying for 53 players but if five are injured and your opponent has zero injuries they'll have 53 healthy players on game day while we'd only have 48 healthy players. That gives the healthier team even more of an advantage.
  5. You'd have a competitive disadvantage if one team has a 53 man healthy roster while the other team has only 48 healthy players. No. You'd get it at the 40.
  6. Leslie. Joe's dead.
  7. Reenacting down goes Frazier? Not the greatest caption picture.
  8. No argument from me but every move the NFL has made since its inception is motivated by maximizing profit. However, it's hard to argue it doesn't have a trickle down effect to the consumers given its popularity.
  9. It does benefit the tv viewer as you're more likely to get a better/more meaningful game. However, I don't think that positive outweighs the negatives you laid out.
  10. Money is always the reason but another reason is there's too much of a competitive disadvantage in your example if you have an injury plagued roster (say only 46 healthy players that are active) while the other team has 50 healthy players in your example.
  11. Immediate though - the trial basis is already over and it will expand in 2024. Second thought - all 32 owners are for it but they knew eight could save face with their fan bases.
  12. I'd pry put the 2020 MNF game at the Pats on that list (over the 2018 Dolphins game) when we ran up the score on them culminating with that ridiculous against the body throw to Diggs in the back corner of the end zone. Great list overall though and a lot of fun memories.
  13. No asterisk. Not my fault he didn't have his priorities straight.
  14. A nutless monkey QB could've won with that defense and running game that year. Their defense only let up 10.3 ppg in the regular season and only 5.75 ppg in their four playoff wins.
  15. May all your wishes come true but particularly the one where you wish to host the Lombardi in a Bills uniform. For those worried the Super Bowl window with him is probably over I'm just going to list some notable NFL QB's who won their first Super Bowl after turning 27. Included only NFL players that are in HOF and/or were drafted in the top 32. I excluded the first five Super Bowls because they may have won one before their age 27 season if they existed. I also excluded Trent Dilfer because he's well Trent Dilfer. Roger Staubach - age 29, Bob Griese - 27, Ken Stabler - 31, Jim Plunkett - 33, Phil Simms - 31, Steve Young - 33, Brett Favre - 27, John Elway - 37, Kurt Warner - 28, Peyton Manning -30, Drew Brees - 31, Aaron Rodgers - 27, Eli Manning - 31, Joe Flacco - 28, Matt Stafford - 34
  16. The thing is that no matter the outcome the civil suit the NFL wouldn't be able to punish him anyways since it happened before the draft. I'm thinking more long term as this case is ripe for the current political blue state/red state discourse that will only make him more polarizing reducing the likelihood of someone signing him. That's why I think he should lay low as possible and especially not give interviews with people like Tomi Lahren.
  17. The big concern with Araiza is he has a heck of a leg but has trouble with control as he struggled in college with the pooch punt as most of the time he tried to pin a team inside the 20 the ball went into the end zone for a touchback most of the time. The two punters taken ahead of him were better in that area. I had him as my number two punter behind Stout before the draft but was thrilled to get him in the sixth. The problem with even bringing him in for a competition imo is that team will have outside public pressure on that team for him to win the job.
  18. Possibly but even in those leagues owners are terrified of anything hurting their bottom line.
  19. That and a statement saying he’s only interested in returning to football. Unfortunately, that may still not be enough because his situation will be used by grifters on both political sides of the aisle to push their culture war agenda. Thus amplifying his name and potential NFL teams determining he’s not worth it. Again, I do feel bad for him.
  20. If I was him I'd want to go and scream to anyone who'd want to listen if I was falsely charged but it wouldn't get me any closer to an NFL roster. Especially in the social media age we live in and will continue to live in. Sad but true imo.
  21. Not if he decides to make himself a cancel culture martyr (which may be more financially lucrative in its own right). If he does want to get a tryout with a team the less press he does right now the better so I question the advice he's getting. NFL teams hate outside distractions and a punter is not worth it no matter how much potential he has.
  22. Is it because he didn't pay enough of his WR's to field a roster?
  23. Let's not insult pylon's now. You can definitely chip to help Brown out but in doing so you limit what you can create in the passing game.
  24. Tom Brady's pick six against the Greatest Show on Turf will go down as one of the all time great plays in Super Bowl history.
  25. That's encouraging because I fully expect Spencer Brown to be the apple that Adam and Eve ate in Genesis. I watch that play and it's funny to me just how easy it was for Josh to side step Reader. He's just so deceptively quick.
