Yobogoya!

Bojo has always had a big leg, its his inconsistency and touch placement that holds him back from greatness. It's unlikely he can be upgraded with a street FA this year, so just going to have to take the good with the bad.

The league completely shot themselves in the foot by not scheduling extra bye weeks throughout the year as a buffer. Honestly I think they should have at least 2 every year anyway, but this year more than ever it was a no brainer. Then they go ahead and schedule Thursday games as well, just being greedy and stupid. Talk about having no plan.

Exactly, we're finally winning games the way the rest of the great NFL teams have for over a decade now. What this defense IS lacking however is a takeover the game kind of monster. We've got a lot of good/ above-average players, and Tre is an elite corner in zone, but if you look at the top defenses this year they almost all have at least one if not two huge impact players on their front 7. It was the hope that either Oliver for Edmunds (or both) would become that type of player for us, but so far that has yet to materialize.

Yeah but how many teams are going to want to wait til February to interview him? 😎

I saw someone say he was on Ford's side in the first half, and then in the second the Rams moved him over to Winters' side. I'd be interested to get confirmation if that's true or not, would say a lot about Ford as a guard.

Another week, another touchdown that might have been.

“What adjustments did you make at halftime coach?” ”Well, we really wanted to get our punting game going...”

Did I miss where Bill O’Brien became the new Seahawks gm?

Yeah I think Jauron got a lot of undeserved vitriol that should have been really directed solely at the top of the organization back then. Not that I don't think he should have been fired, but I think in hindsight we can say the billboard at least was undeserved. No one was going very far with the roster he was given by the "brain trust" GM stand-in that Ralph assembled back then.

They didn't want to pay him to be a back-up, and they thought that EJ Manuel was going to start over him.

Better shot of joint practices with Washington starting up I’d think.

Sports media must be absolutely salivating at the potential to name him "comeback player of the year" next year if he has even an adequate season. Can't wait.

Right, you would have to watch and analyze each snap he’s played for both teams all those years. which means making a judgment either way is a crapshoot. But I hate the Patriots, so even if the statement that Gilmore gets away with more now is irrational, I’m ok with it. ?

The problem with a chart like this is it doesn’t account for flags that aren’t thrown, which is kind of the complaint if we’re talking about Gilmore getting away with penalties. he might have a good number of flags in the table for this year, but what if there are five more that should have been called? And what if those five flags came at very important times in the context of the games that were played?

Barkley beat with the Jets last year with the equivalent of second string lineman and skill players. i don’t think playing our backups is conceding victory to that team on any level.

So, what does NFL Network do if this 1pm game runs late?? Kind of an oversight to have all the games one right after the other on the same network isn’t it?

Probably Brady and Rivers. Even though their seasons have been largely trash.

Congrats to Tre! It’s a year late, but it usually takes the national media and casual fans that long to catch up to a good Bills player. He and Edmunds should be auto-locks for years to come going forward. anyone want to foster a guess as to the 5-6 AFC DT’s who had better years than Phillips? ?

I hope you're right. But I wouldn't underestimate the solidarity of the NFL machine. I don't know if Mike Brown is the kind of owner who will be mad enough at this incident to go against it.

There's no way the NFL is going to give the Bengals permission to release that tape. No way, no how. Now if the Bengals have someone brave enough to leak the tape in defiance of the NFL, that's another story.

That organization from top to bottom has believed they're above the rules for over twenty years now. It's time to drop the damn hammer. Plausible deniability isn't an excuse after a documented history of this stuff. Their fans and organization tried to downplay Deflategate by saying there was no competitive advantage gained, and the balls were within a certain PSI. For me, it was NEVER about the competitive advantage Brady gained from softer balls. It was ALL about how he knew what the rules were, and he bribed an equipment lackey with sneakers to go around the rules, because he believed he was fully entitled to it. The Spygate punishment was a joke in retrospect. I don't even care if this was just an innocent mistake. When your organizational policy was to use this EXACT SITUATION as an excuse during your previous cheating attempts, I think you'd better be fully prepared for no one to give you the benefit of the doubt. Drop the hammer. It's long overdue.

It's not about trusting our D to shut down Duck, it's about their defense getting big time sacks / fumbles / picks against Josh in dangerous territory -- that's what has me unsettled anyway. If we get behind early against that D, I don't know if Josh can overcome it. Just like this past Sunday. We have to score first and get ahead of them, but it won't be easy...

ESPN does a different "theme" for their power rankings blurb every week. This week it was "people on the hot seat" for each team.

None of those guys can say they were the best all-time at what they did. Tasker can. Special Teams is way under-represented in the Hall. When you have 40 running backs in, I feel like you can probably justify having more than two kickers or at least the best coverage specialist of all time.

Roman's offense scored 31 the week he was fired, but the Ryan bros' defense gave up 37 to Fitzmagic (who struggled the rest of the year) and Roman was the scapegoat. Like others have said, Roman had his faults and a stronger HC probably would have been able to work through them. He was good for at least one head-scratching gadget play per game, but no one can argue that he made Tyrod Taylor look like an above-competent QB, and now he's turned a similar type of QB into an MVP candidate.
