  1. I agree, it should be on a Saturday. And Superbowl Saturday would still alliterate. 

     

    Failing that they should switch Saturday and Sunday around, so Sunday would be on the Saturday and Saturday would be on the Sunday, so Monday would become the Sunday and everyone would get the day off anyway.

    How about this as a solution: at the age of 16 you register which team you support. If that team wins the Superbowl you get the Monday off. It'd be a bit like how some companies let their employees have their birthdays off.

     

    I also propose that the government signs off on this as soon as Tom Brady retires.

  2. 8 hours ago, whatdrought said:

    I can’t tell if they’re letting lesser players in, or if it’s just because they lose some of the legend status when you grew up watching them... Richard Seymour seems like a stretch to me.

    One of the podcasts I used to listen to would always talk about The Hall of Very Good rather than the HOF, and there are a lot of players I think belong in there. 

     

    As you say though, maybe when you see these guys as an adult it takes away some of the mystique. 

  3. I guess people like lots of points. Couple that with the new QBs that have entered the league and you've got a lot more interest overall. I'm excited about the new breed of QBs like Mahomes, Allen, Mayfield, Goff, Darnold etc. because I've grown tired of the old guard like Brady, Brees and Rodgers.

     

    The insane amount of points does annoy me, but I guess I'm just old. When I was first watching you probably had people who grew up in the 60s saying there was too much passing and points in the 80s. I totally get that times change, and I understand they have to protect players, but I wish they'd ease up on some of these penalties.

     

    A defensive struggle can be such an exciting thing to watch, especially come playoff time, but I guess most people now want to see offenses moving up and down the field with ease, especially when they're watching redzone and checking how their fantasy players are doing.

  4. imagine if the Bills had tried to trade away EJ after his first year, how many people would have made a serious play for him? Now imagine if they tried to trade Josh after this season, I think it's a safe bet there would be a bunch of teams who'd love to have him. 

     

    It's all in the eye test. EJ never looked like he was capable of great things, at best he looked like he was capable of being efficient. Josh has made his share of bad plays, no doubt, but there have been many times this season where you watch and think "this kid could be really special with more work and more talent around him". Even his body language when he's on the sideline talking to his teammates, he has the IT factor that good QBs need. 

     

    I'd be very surprised and massively disappointed if he doesn't take things to the next level next season.
