  1. Men and women are often very different kinds of fans. But he didn't say it very nicely and he did it in a public forum. I don't believe he should lose his job for it, but it's the world we live in. Most of us understand that by now. Add in that nobody likes the guy anyways, and you have yourself a freshly unemployed writer.
  2. There is validity to most opinions in some form or another, especially to the holder of the opinion. Those feelings come from somewhere real, misguided or not. It doesn't make the opinion right or wrong. it's an opinion. BUT there are opinions you can't share publicly. You can't say them out loud. And if you do, the result will be what it is always going to be. Difficult to feel bad for people who cross that line. I hope Jerry has put his money away and will be able to have a reasonable retirement if that is the direction he chooses (or is chosen for him)
  3. 1 normal redshirt year, then a covid year. makes sense.
  4. on a running play, the ball is live until a td is scored or a whistle is blown. not the same as a pass play. i think this is a catch though. 3 feet. shouldn't even matter if he loses the ball after that, right?
  5. I would accept whatever gene steratore has to say about this. To me, 3 steps makes it a catch. He had 2 clear steps then a bit of a dragging, and starting to tuck as he went to the knee. not so sure he was tucked before knee hit. This is a really close call, and the video I watched wasn't slow motion enough for me to be clear.
  6. He has some rough edges to smooth out, but one thing I appreciate about him, is that he will question and speculate on calls made by the officials. drives me crazy how many announcers will just gloss over or ignore bad calls and no calls. There's almost no acknowledgement at all.
  7. maybe we are dealing with a good athlete who had his hand held by a very good teacher and coach for a long time. can't function without that perfect match. happened to donovan mcnabb as well.
  8. losing to the jets is not okay. i don't care if they are decent. we are supposed to be the best team in the nfl. that means we look to go 15-2. not 11-6 or 12-5. teams looking to have home field advantage can't lose those games. are we looking to be really good, or are we looking to be great?
  9. 100% this is what it will be known as. No chance they get the support for this without everything he has done for us.
  10. Keeping up with the Joneses waste of money. I don't mind spending extra if there is a dome, but to spend a fortune just to have something that looks "pretty" is a huge waste of tax payer money, imo. same thing every public school in new york does with the ridiculous capital projects
  11. Im friends with a guy who used to swing with Todd Haley and his wife. Any other nfl coach swinging stories?
  12. this was one of the most exciting plays of the game for me. we should be AUTOMATIC on these, but it feels like we have been among the worst in the nfl for the past few years in those spots.
  13. Should still flip with Baltimore. We would form much stronger rivalries with Pitt and Cleveland almost immediately. I do understand the relevancy of the market though.
  14. i think a single smash or maybe even two is normal. the way he kept picking up different things and slamming them was weird. never really seen anything like it.
  15. offensive line was kind of shot today. they are missing morse bad, among several other problems there.
  16. Maybe Morse is the key here, as said above. This is something that has bothered me for 2 or 3 years. It might be from watching brady the past 20 years. 3 and 1 or 4 and 1 are always automatic with him, just sneaking behind the center. Feels like this is a play we should be able to execute, but we just don't. not sure of all the intricacies at work, but we need to be better there.
  17. yes. the proof is in the pudding. if the eye test doesn't work for you, take a look at the numbers. Whether it be speed, cutting, vision, or desire; Josh produces at a higher level.
  18. it is interesting that every professional stadium in houston has a dome. astrodome, minute maid and reliant. never paid much attention to reliant, but looked it up and it is a fabric retractable roof. saw an article from 2019 or 2020 saying they were opening it up for first time in 6 years. opens in 6 minutes! i guess they like to keep it shut for crowd noise, not weather.
  19. They do play in a dome, and they very rarely open it. they went 6 years without opening it at one point.
  20. maybe he shouldn't have tweeted what he did, but it was not OUTRAGEOUS. certainly not worthy of the reaction it garnered. Brennan was long out of football and was a 6th rd pick who never had expectations above what he would become.
  21. i don't care for him, but if the price is right, do it.
  22. the designed rushing attempts were WAY too much, and not nearly as effective as the scrambles. Allen has carried the ball 79 times for 357 yards on designed rushing attempts. So he averaged around 4.5 per carry on designed rushing attempts, and was at 6.5 in total. Without breaking down the total numbers, Pretty obvious the scrambles gave him the big yards. We need a RB game that can give us those 4.5, ESPECIALLY in the regular season, as others have pointed out. I do think Josh does a pretty good job of avoiding most hits on the scrambles. Those hits are unavoidable on the called runs. I believe we went into the season with a more appropriate plan for Josh, as far as running goes. A lot of that went out the window when we lost some games we shouldn't have, and we had to play desperate.
  23. i like and dislike some announcers above and below others, but im watching the games im going to watch regardless. the worst announcing crew i ever heard was the booger crew when the bills played the texans in the playoffs. easily the most irritated ive ever been. i also happen to be in the lonely collinsworth fan club. .
