XFL Cutting down on the kicking game.
PetermansRedemption replied to Buffalo Barbarian's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Everything is awesome!!! -
If anyone watches celebrity big brother, they know to stay far far away from Lolo Jones. She was bat sh*t crazy. Absolutely would be a stage 5 clinger.

Why not both
-
That WR core next year with the addition of Allison ?. No thank you. Need that difference maker. Allison is not it
-
Good. Should be able to get a decent one in the 20’s then.

Where are they pork barreling the money into instead? Your argument works great in a philosophical world, not the one we live in. Have you ever read a piece of legislation and seen the ridiculous funding held within? Oftentimes completely unrelated to a bill in order to get it to pass. I agree with your spineless politician view, but playing ball with the NFL is far from the main reason. I have no problem with tax dollars being spent on stadiums. That is, until politicians can be trusted to handle money reasonably and not waste it endlessly. My point is, currently, the money is just being burnt anyways, it doesn’t matter what they burn it on.

XFL Unveils team logos/names
PetermansRedemption replied to PromoTheRobot's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
But you have to put yourself in the NFL’s shoes. From their point of view, why? Sure some people might watch it. It will still be a battle to become profitable. The NFL is insanely profitable, why spend money trying to eek out a tiny fraction increase. In addition to that, they have all the minor league development they need in the NCAA. And the NCAA doesn’t require oversight or launching a league from scratch on the part of the NFL. Absolutely. McMahon cashed out a lot of WWE stock to make this happen. There is no chance he pulls the plug without a full season. -
I see it going a season. McMahon has enough money and enough pride to give it a huge effort this time around. No chance it folds mid season like the AAF. I don’t see it making it more than a season. The only people these leagues appeal to are the absolute die hard football fans like myself. I’ll watch anything football on at all. Most people aren’t like that. Most people will watch one college or nfl team and that’s it. This is why these leagues have no viability. There simply isn’t money in pandering to such a tiny subset of the population. The only exception to this would be if pandering to that subset could bring untold riches. Like if this subset were to offer to pay $200 each per game to watch the XFL. That is not the case.

Who’s the one FA you want in 2020?
PetermansRedemption replied to McBean's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If your going to pay Shaq you can probably throw some extra money and get a better edge in FA -
Hottest team in football right now and everyone knows it. They are beating at the right time. Houston and KC are likely both quite worried about facing the Titans after what they have done to New England and Baltimore.

My draft crush was Josh Allen in 2018. In 2019 it was DK Metcalf. I would have taken him at 9 if Oliver wasn’t there. Given how things shaped up I would have ran to the podium in the second round to grab him. I said it at draft time, even if your first year plan for DK was to tell him to run straight a few times a game and chuck the 50/50 ball to him, ok. Add in a few screens as well.

The fair catch, that wasn't.
PetermansRedemption replied to peterpan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
A lot of people have been using that same line in this thread. “It is has happened a ton of times this year.” I am still waiting on even one actual example. Just because you think you have seen that exact play, doesn’t mean you have. Maybe it’s because you weren’t watching for it. But now you will. And you will see. Every single kick returner knows for take a knee or not touch the ball. It’s a simple play that isn’t paid attention to because it’s always done right. -
Late Ford personal foul call a joke
PetermansRedemption replied to Inigo Montoya's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Is it the correct call? I’ll have to look up the NFL rule when I have some time, but I’m not sure it was. Sure looked like Ford was blocking a guy who saw him coming and adjusted his body position accordingly. Ford also didn’t leave his feet or target the head/neck area. Seemed more like a block working down the line rather than an illegal crack back block. They are not the same thing. It’s absolutely legal to work back and block if it is done within the rules. Edit: Found the rule. Sure doesn’t sound like it should have been called in this instance. Fords block looks to fall into “(b) he approaches the opponent from behind or from the side. Note: If the near shoulder of the blocker contacts the front of his opponent’s body, the “peel back” block is legal.” CRACKBACK (ILLEGAL) Article 11 At the snap, an offensive player who is aligned in a position more than two yards laterally outside an offensive tackle, or a player who is in a backfield position at the snap and then moves to a position more than two yards laterally outside a tackle, may not clip an opponent anywhere, nor may he contact an opponent below the waist if the blocker is moving toward the position where the ball was snapped from, and the contact occurs within an area five yards on either side of the line of scrimmage. Note 1: A player aligned more than two yards laterally outside a tackle at the snap is designated as being flexed. Note 2: If runner (passer) scrambles on the play, significantly changing the original direction (broken play), the crackback block is legal. Penalty: Illegal crackback block: Loss of 15 yards. A.R. 12.20 Second-and-10 on A40. Flanker A1 sets up five yards outside of offensive tackle A2. At the snap, A1 comes back and crackback blocks B1. Contact is made at the A38 behind the offensive tackle’s original position. Runner goes to 50. Ruling: A’s ball second-and-25 on A25. Illegal crackback block. Penalize from previous spot. ILLEGAL PEEL BACK BLOCK (a) the blocker is moving toward his own end line; and (b) he approaches the opponent from behind or from the side. Note: If the near shoulder of the blocker contacts the front of his opponent’s body, the “peel back” block is legal. Penalty: For illegal “peel back” block: Loss of 15 yards. -
Everybody should be ticked off
PetermansRedemption replied to McBean's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
On that same note. Being 23rd in the NFL in offense isn’t going to get it done. Need to average more than the 19 or so points per game they did this season to be successful in today’s NFL.
