  1. I watched that Browns Ravens game. Closer than score indicated, was a 6 point game with 9 min in the 4th. Then big chunk runs and turnovers. Hats off to Browns, but i think that Ravens offense isnt built to throw from behind. Our DBs much better...espc seeing as they will be down at Safety w Whitehead gone. 

     

    Like most are saying, the fear is Chubb, but this oline doesnt manhandle anyone.

    Wasnt Bennett the guy claiming the Ls Vegas police dept profiled him because he was an AA, and then Pete Carroll jumped on the bandwagon against the police and uh oh, what happened, the police released the entire body cams of the cops that night and a highly different version of Bennett's story came out.  To my knowledge, no chargers against Bennett and no apology from  either Bennett of Carroll.

     

    Yes....totally swept under the rug.

    62.4%

    is 24th in the NFL.   

     

    There is more to a game that this endlessly changing stat. 

     

    as a team the # is actually 62.0 % 

    Look how bad the Falcons are ... They have a Comp % of 71.5

    Ya see where I'm going here?  

    Some stats are just irrelevant 

     

    Its not irrelevant as it is a stat that needs to be closely scrutinized and broken down . Offenses are too diverse and nuanced now. How many screens do you run? How many deep shots etc...

  4. Beasley is on pace for a great season. 30 grabs 2 games shy of mid season, avg 5+ catches per game . Nice 2 point conversion too. Despite a few drops, he's doing a sold job.

     

    Everyone raving about Brown , who has only 3 more catches and 1 more TD. Very weird.

     

    These guys are both on pace for near pro bowl numbers and the kind of production we ve not seen in years. 

     

    Beasley's been a great addition, and I expect even more production.

    Idk why this is even a big deal. He is an amateur sports blogger/ writer 

     

    99% of people cannot get credentials.  

     

    If he really wants them he should get a job at the Buffalo news and then he can get them fairly quick

     

     

    Erik is a pro...he's a member of The Athletic staff and makes money off his Cover1 work.

     

    Sorry, he's bonafide.

  6. NFL has no case. This is ridiculous. Erik also works for the Athletic correct? A legit press agency. 

     

    Turner isnt selling NFL footage...he's altering that by providing his analysis and commentary, added graphics, insight etc. Thats the total package of what he sells.

     

    He's taking footage the NFL has already put in the public domain with no reasonable expectation of privacy.

     

    No different than any blogger or review show that shows portions or clips of movies.

     

    Yes, things like Cover1 do make the NFL a richer scene and promote the product. 

     

    The no access for bloggers is just silly. Blogger is just a meaningless term. Its still publishing...and still content. May entertainment industires like comics and movies offer access , passes, and free material, to certain bloggers , independent reviewers, fanzines, often uplifting them beyond this.

     

    The Goodell era continues to be a joke.

     

     

  7. I dont recall him being that bad or epically bad. He certainly was not a star, but whatever. Most of you are way overreacting and being drama queens. Just a mediocre blocking TE that will fill out some depth and push teach some of the young guys. No issues with a modest deal.

    Nothing is changing at least until end of 2022. That's a long 4 full seasons boys.

    Did you read this? Does not really clear the air.

     

    The out clause is likely there. Florio is respectable, it's not something i'd think he'd make up.

     

    The article fails to see the most obvious; The NFL can stream or sell these games on their own. Don't need to put out to bid next time around.

     

    They don't need to do exclusives any more either. Sell it a la carte to multiple platforms. Frankly, they could start their own network now....or mega dollar streaming sources like Huluu, Netflix may now be players.

     

    I think the NFL can make more money than what direct tv can offer.

     

    Also, I had Direct TV and other cable providers...all of them are really the same; they treat new customers great and old customers like *****. If you threaten to leave, they will usually kiss your ass only to eventually screw you again.

    I think it's just another great example of the tremendous gap in overall talent between top college football teams and the NFL.  

     

    I was a huge EJ fan, but I think the NFL game was just too fast for him.

     

    I do, however, think that being drafted by the Bills killed his career before it even started.  There couldn't have been a worse time/place to be a young QB.

     

    Man the last part here is complete crap....EJ was set up and it was a great situation for him in Buff...he was given solid WRs , decent Oline , coach committed to run game. The year he flubbed out, the team was nearly propelled to the playoffs by Kyle Orton...who was mostly a bum.

     

    In 2014, we had a 4th ranked defense loaded w talent.

     

    He had a GM who was in love with him, and had nothing but support until his play faltered.

     

    Who cares about a demanding coach or change of ownership, EJ was just not good and his results spoke for themselves.

  10. The worst part is Richie lied. Multiple times actually. 

     

    Let me just recall a few:

     

    -Said he was overjoyed to continue playing in Buff and be part of next season on a reworked deal.

     

    -said his kidneys were shot and his life was in danger.

     

    -said he was going to retire. Said he was done.

     

    Now all lies, I'm afraid. Integrity is important in life.

    I realize the CFL is not the NFL and that maybe I'm misunderstanding your message, but can you please reword your comment in regards to comparing the CFL to hitting rock bottom?

     

     

    Did you hear his excuses for not going to the CFL? They weren't offering enough money or gaurentees it seems.

     

    Guy is totally clueless. Frankly, he sounded high during the interview.

     

    When Dan asked him how long he had been sober there was a long awkward pause , eventually he said four months, then changed it to he couldnt remember.

     

    I didn't believe a bit of the BS he slung, and I was stunned that others did.

     

    He's still partying and getting high, I'd gaurentee it. His voice was that of a hungover manupulator, not a contrite recovering victim.

    No way Cleveland moves out of 1. Browns need players, they already have a great draft board. At some point you need to take high end players in a draft and stop accumulating so many picks.

     

    I don't understand this.

     

    The selection at # 4 gives them play to still get a QB or upper-end franchise player. Like you say, they add a ton of picks over time because the roster is needing players.

     

    They just got that stop gap QB who they are at least talking like they (at least in pressers) dont feel is a stop gap, while that may be a smokescreen, i think it at least allows them to find a developmental QB and not a surefire day 1 starter. They are perfect to draft a guy like Allen or Jackson and develop him.
