  1. Even with a bad o-line their record is 21-10 when all three play (Burrow, Chase, Higgins).
  2. Higgins would've gotten more on the open market. They were a year too late on both of them imo. If the Bengals got the Chase deal done before Jefferson it would pry be about $32m per year and for Higgins it would've been about $21m per year.
  3. I was happy to see Eric Washington leave last year.
  4. I watched the presser but I'm a little more cynical about an athlete's public persona after my childhood hero allegedly murdered two people.
  5. Not sure but I'll never doubt that guy's work ethic. I wouldn't bet against him. Close to zero percent chance he plays here again but I could see him as a Cowboy or Patriot.
  6. I know Nick is cocky as hell and I'm sure Joey is too. Whatever. Get to the quarterback and you can steal money from a church collection basket for all I care.
  7. Thomas Sowell is pro free market and anti-tariff because he could do math. The fact that so many people follow this account and they post garbage like this is an insult to him.
  8. I didn't watch many Raiders games this year because they're the Raiders. Wilkins was the closest one to Oliver of the names mentioned but his production in Miami was better than Oliver's in Buffalo imo. Similar pressure rate but Wilkins was the better run defender. I'd take Oliver's contract over Wilkins though for sure.
  9. Or just throw Hasek in the net. I think it was '97-'98 when Donald Audette was our leading goal scorer with 20 something goals and we managed to reach the conference finals. The best year by a goalie I've ever seen. Also, it's an apples and oranges comparison when it comes to player development related to coaching in the NHL compared to the NFL.
  10. The problem is the backups in 2018 (Anderson, Barkley, Peterman) were way worse than Tyrod Taylor when Allen got hurt. A combined 1-5. Both are too small of a sample size. This is pry a lazy comparison but without Allen I could see McDermott being very close to what the Steelers have done since 2017. Just stuck in mediocrity with below average to mediocre QB's.
  11. The dirty Chiefs are the one's that proposed the rule change because they ruin everything. I think the players pry prefer it more than fans (besides Brady of course). In general though, people don't like to be confused and they don't like change. Both meet the criteria. From more players changing jersey numbers to the expansion of the positional number options.
  12. Just look at Simmons, Burns, and Wilkins's contracts compared to Oliver. Money talks.
  13. Judy from Buffalo doesn't do it for you?
  14. I understand Pro Bowl voting is the only way to include both the all pros and the very good players but I just can't stand how the voting works for it. Roger Saffold for example may have been the worst guard we started since Allen got here and he made the pro bowl that year. Just wish we had a better way of encompassing all the very good and elite players. Maybe?
  15. This is pry the main reason for a lot of good players but not many elite one's. Picking late in all the rounds every year hasn't exactly helped Beane acquire elite talent. I'm not absolving him of all responsibility (we could've had Metcalf twice now) but It's one of the downsides of missing the playoffs only once in eight years. Although, even when we had a top 10 pick (besides trading up for Allen) we chose Ed Oliver over D-lineman like Wilkins, Simmons, Lawrence, and Burns.
  16. I was wondering that. Do they include alternates in the pro bowl numbers?
  17. They had him sign the contract knowing he was suspended the first six games. LOL. Can we just request the first six games to be all divisional games?
  18. If the majority opinion is the relaxed numbers rule suck is it really "old man yells at clouds?"
  19. Social media may destroy our society but this is peak twitter.
  20. I'm not saying there's something that might accelerate that process but I think we'll be just fine in that area based off past history.
  21. He's certainly at minimum an equal replacement from what we saw out of Cooper last year. He looked washed even with the wrist injury.
  22. Missing 6 of 20 games is way less than a half if my calculations are correct. I'm with you on the Ogunjobi deal though even though his contract is prorated. What's alarming is he wasn't good even on PED's.
  23. Beane's not a a soup guy. Passes on Jack Campbell in the draft.
