They could beat the Dolphins.

Dude, you need to chill. I've been known to crap on weak threads from newer members, but you're holding the bar a bit too high on this one. Restricting thread creation to Pulitzer Prize winning sports reporters is for when there's actually ***** to talk about, not the dead of the offseason.

Before this past season the talking heads were merely speculating on if Diggs could make Allen a serviceable QB and drag him to a division title. But with Miami they're just automatically declaring Tua to be the next Brees with Miami a lock to be the next great dynasty based on nothing more than their own bias for Tua and Miami having some extra draft picks.

I'm partial to War Coder Ed.

You're assuming his play style remained the same after leaving the Bills. He went to a team that taught him to cheat, and his penalties went DOWN. He was great with the Bills, but the illegal contact is what made him elite with the Pats. Maxwell? Do you mean Byron Jones? Maxwell isn't on the list.

There's a lot more TFNGs than you think. They account for 9% of rushing plays vs 12% for TFLs. Maybe something in the defensive scheme or generally the way he is coached leads to him hitting guys at the line at a higher rate than normal. Maybe his propensity for shooting the wrong gap led to him being coached to sometimes wait an extra moment to "spy" the running back, with that delay leading to a TFNG rather than a TFL.

Less being the best CB, more being able to get away with illegal contact on every other play because he plays for the Pats. Seriously, pull up his videos and watch how he rides WRs down the field like a rodeo cowboy going for the full 8 seconds. Hard to be open when the CB is practically giving you a full body massage for 15 yards. His elite skill isn't the man coverage, it's his ability to position himself and dance the line of contact enough to have refs give him the benefit of the doubt of looking like it's the WR who is running into him. At live full game speed it's not obvious to refs, but on replay it's clear as day. It might be part of McBeane's focus on picking up great route runners in FA/trade, as Gilmore's rodeo act gets exposed when the WR fakes him out as he goes to lean into them. Then you get the classic open arms and indignation at the safeties for not backing him up when he gets burned.

Hard to just pick one. Singletary- I think he's better than a lot here give him credit for, and could be electric given more competent blocking. Overshadowed by impatient fans lusting for Moss who somehow seems to get more of a pass on the blocking on account of his aggressive running style. Wallace- Just hard not to root for a likeable guy like him who called me to chat last year when he saw i was having issues with depression. Knox- Could be the next Gronk if he could put it all together with another full off/preseason. And basically the whole D-line. Need to turn those high pressure rates into sacks, and I'm excited to see how our new additions and some new schemes contribute to that.

Nice, but what the hell is that weird synth or whatever music playing over it?

Hard to get an accurate clock on a fictional person. Hard to get an accurate clock on a fictional person. Hard to get an accurate clock on a fictional person.

Not only was it raining, but looked like they were practicing those back shoulder corner of the endzone touch passes. If this were the Bills a couple of those passes would have been hailed here for being perfect "where only the receiver can catch it" throws. *edit* Actually it looks like a comparison video specifically to contrast Cam with Mac. Cam whiffed on both of his throws, Mac nailed both of his.

This is my shocked face. 😐

That makes literally no sense. The Pats averaged 6 yards per rush. So did the Bills. In fact, the Bills had a higher yards per play for the game.

It's almost as if pain is the body's way of saying something is wrong and athletes should just get their injuries actually treated, rather than doping up to play through the pain. Minor aches and pains are a natural part of physical jobs, but if you can't get through a game without surgical grade injections, something is wrong.

Yes.

Don't think much of Tre?

Brady was able to afford such team friendly deals because he was making tens of millions of dollars in publicity deals as the league's golden boy, having a rich supermodel wife, and probably getting money under the table from Kraft. Not to mention league leading merch sales and other revenue streams.

Likewise. Not a single ad ever and I'm only ever here on my phone. However, even if it's "just one click" to get around, I would find full screen ads to be INCREDIBLY obnoxious and annoying. As in "rage inducing and instantly Googling mobile ad blockers" kind of annoying. I would rather have two smaller ads on every page I can just scroll past rather than have to click through "just one" obnoxiously intrusive ad, so I sympathize.

And as I keep saying, "windows" are for teams without the foundation for continued success. We can afford to invest for the future, rather than having to gamble and go "all in" spending our life savings on a stack of lottery tickets in one shot. Give me a decade of solid success over a year or two of "dream team" any day of the week. This mindset of having to desperately grasp at temporary success will apparently take some time to wean off of after decades of mediocrity.

Brady doesn't belong anywhere near a strongest arms in history list. He looked like he had to put every ounce of strength he had into his deep throws. From an objective standpoint, the list needs JaMarcus Russell and Jay Cutler.

You click the first link in Google and suddenly declare that to be the authoritative truth? I don't think celebsagewiki.com can be trusted with that uncited number after he's made over $73m in career earnings, not counting sponsorships and other revenue streams. A few links down has a site listing him at over $90m net worth.

I loved the comment from some tool saying "diva Diggs, will do anything for attention". Like, um, dude, he literally didn't do anything. The #1 WR in the league and Allen's most trusted target doesn't need to attend a voluntary session.

I guess on that note, how about the 15 yard penalty for patting your teammate on the helmet...

I vaguely recall a Super Bowl play where we still had a chance late in the 4th, but our receiver screwed it by trying to be a hero. Maybe against Washington? Perfectly executed big passing gain for a first down to the sideline, clearly designed to get him out of bounds to stop the clock. The receiver seemed to consider going out, but then reconsiders and turns back infield, attempting the superhuman feat of juking out and running through 4 or 5 defenders playing prevent defense. He was hell bent on hitting a home run, but it was like trying to stretch a double into an inside the park homer when the ball is already in the catcher's glove as you approach third. Even aside from not stopping the clock, the time he took to dance and run in circles all for just a few extra yards alone cost us the time to run another play. Baffling. I'm probably misremembering a couple details as I was a kid at the time, but I remember "he's trying to be a hero" by a commentator.

Yeah, easier said than done there. Atlanta area police are reportedly very reluctant to step in and help even if you can literally say you (maybe some paraphrasing) tracked the GPS to what is clearly a chop shop, watching it be gutted at a mechanic shop somehow working on cars at 2am on a Saturday night. A contributor for VINWiki documented his experience in exactly that kind of situation on their YouTube channel. I think someone used fake or stolen credentials to rent from his exotics rental business, and they basically chased him to Atlanta after they cut the wrong wires and didn't fully disable the GPS.
