  1. Reducing the 30-yard sacks & sack-fumbles where the play is breaking down beyond ALL hope but he keeps backing up trying to make something of it. He was able to find some guys when in trouble, but he’s gotta get that sense down of when to cut bait. Hope he works on his handoffs. They just don’t have a quick, fluid motion or make any attempt to disguise what’s happening. Lamar Jackson seems like the master of this and that split second advantage he creates for himself or his RBs is big. We can’t expect Lamar but getting better at it is do-able.
  2. Milano was sent on blitz so many times and we STILL got zero pressure. We blitzed 6 (Milano & Edmunds) a few times and Mahomes still had all day and picked us apart. Why wasn’t Milano on Kelce all night?
  3. That seems to be the expectation in the uni-watch community, but there’s been nothing set in stone by the league at this point. I don’t believe that such a mish-mash combo will be the norm, or perhaps even be allowed by NFL Properties. They will likely be used only for alternate sets and throwbacks and there will be limits on how many times they can be worn.
  4. We’re 0-2 in the playoffs during McD’s tenure wearing this set. Bad juju. Not the time to be to tempting the football gods on any little detail.
  5. And where does the Josh Allen money come from?
  6. There’s no chance we can afford to resign Williams. He’s been a stud all year and shut down Watt & Bosa. He will get PAID and he absolutely deserves it. But having a third guy on the OL making $10-13M/year just isn’t feasible. Maybe especially since the refs are allowing holds unless they’re obvious & egregious, it would be easier filling that hole than an honest to god pass / edge rusher or re-upping Milano. We thank him for his service and wish him the best. It’ll either be Ford, draft pick, or another cheaper pick-up.
  7. I don’t recall whether Milano played in week 6 vs. them. And Tremaine was still playing injured with his shoulder. This is a totally different matchup.
  8. Looked more like his neck got bit tweaked more than a hit to the head, but then again concussions & causes can be weird. He also had a turf toe issue in the first half that looked bothersome.
  9. 😮. How does she have four kids and her body isn’t completely trashed?
  10. The Rams were given dispensation to wear their throwback blue/yellow in the Super Bowl vs. the Pats... likely because the sets they were stuck with from St Louis (they were waiting on the new LA stadium was completed to do a redesign) looked like 💩. IIRC, the Saints also wore their beautiful Color Rush set a couple of times in the playoffs. I’m hoping & expecting that we’ll be wearing the blue jersey & white pants.
  11. I’m not a fan of Andre Roberts taking KOs out of the end zone with such frequency. Not only is there the odds of not even making it to the 25 — like on a couple yesterday — but always the potential for holding penalties which back you up into a terrible series of bad field position. Roberts REALLY screwed us over to start the Tenn game this year and everything after imploded as well.
  12. On that punt, on that last replay they showed, it looked like it DID hit the Bucs’ player’s hand warmer that was on his back side.
  13. Rivers certainly went to the right team for his abilities & his drawbacks given their OL.
  14. If John Brown bumped McK out today, it wasn’t a good call. Smoke got snuffed.
  15. Our long national nightmare is over. https://deadline.com/2021/01/caillou-canceled-pbs-parents-happier-1234665631/
  16. And again, we lost with the same vs. the Jags in the 10-3 WC game. #BadMojo #10/10WouldNOTRecommend
  17. As long as it’s not the white jersey -blue pants combo that’s lost us the last two playoff games. But with the very similar color schemes, I would forgive a blue-blue or even the reds just so Josh et all have better visual distinction.
  18. Whatever for the time slot. What I’m worried about is that we’d better not be wearing the white uni & blue pants like the last two WC losses in the McD era. It’s a bad luck combo.
  19. Strong power rusher. Don’t know if he looked better due to MyYami running for the buses, but he deserves a longer look in practice.
  20. Mmmm. No. The first picture is of the blue socks. The second is the blue socks worn really low so the stripes are virtually hidden. They’ve also worn all white and all blue (no stripes) this and last season. It appears that the captains or Josh himself (UniWatch says uni selection is sometimes left to the QB solely) don’t like the sock stripes. And Kim Pegula may have some influence as well. But... THESE are the white striped. No block of blue right below the pants. I don’t know when they wore them last. But the ones you’re calling white striped above are NOT the white striped... they are the blue striped.
  21. Errr... it looks like it’s the blue striped socks. Not the white.
  22. Other than the non-call on the Pats* OLman who held Addison on the play when he backward-bumped into Cam in the backfield, then Cam ran it for the TD, I think the refs called a fair game. On Tre’s DPI where he clearly did not agree... yeah it was definitely DPI on the replay. Not much yellow and they let the guys play 👍🏼. Some refs just seem to want to get their faces on teevee and get flag-happy, like the Broncos game. I just wish the league could get it together and make calls more consistent.
  23. Can’t remember who got the opening kickoff. Do we get the ball after the half?
  24. If they’re already moving back the Super Bowl and not committed to that first weekend in February, why not also add in another bye week? Increasing the number of competitive games takes a toll injury-wise and on time apart from family. NFL had two byes during the Kelly years. I don’t know why they stopped it. Especially with the COVID situation fouling up scheduling, it would have been very helpful this season if they had put an extra bye this year.
