    Super Bowl Thread: KC at Tampa Bay

    This is one of those like the NE Giants couple where I really hate both teams and wont watch with much interest. Both teams have SB, Both teams have QB I hate(used to like mahomes now I hate him) If I didnt see either team win another SB for the next 20 years id be good with that..I think I will have the game on somewhere but its VERY LIKELY I will be playing computer games while its on watching is on a tablet at the same time..this SB holds ZERO interest for me.

    IMO the experiment is over...you need guys that can actually be CONSISTANT not iffy hangers on types.....just go down the Roster.....Beasley/Brown/Diggs solid throw them the ball they catch it....Davis is a rookie but is above average and getting better....Knox...total flip the coin on any catch easy or hard....and its been like that since he got here..aka he isnt improving with the hands he is staying CONSISTANTLY INCONSISTENT...if thats the case time to solidify the position...IMO your draft needs coming up(and or FA) DL(DE), CB, TE(because they dont have one thats both GOOD and CONSISTENT),LB(depending on what they do with Milano)

    Thats some super lame crap..and shows you NFL PLAYERS will NEVER PURPOSELY TANK.....their owner may tell the GM too....the GM may shed players to try to BUT THE PLAYERS WILL NEVER do that..they dont care if they draft 1st or 5th...they want to win...and those are the ONLY TYPE  of player id ever want on my team...if you have PLAYERS out there wanting to/trying to tank I dont care who they are get rid of them ASAP they have no heart or character.

    Patricia really had it easy over his coaching tenure with the Lions. 

     

    1) He inherited an above average offense and good QB

    2) Good players on D

    3) Pretty patient ownership

     

    Shows how bad he is/was as a coach.

    Every area of that team got worse under his control. 

    I think he thought he could walk in flash a SB ring and garner respect....players are only "falling for" the "Patriot way" if they have success under it....you come in like that dont do a single thing other than hey we won SB where I came from and we did it this way..type crap and thats all you have...then you DONT have the success...you lost the team/locker room.

    Horse *****.

     

    I say this as a lifelong numbers geek who spent a professional life analyzing numbers and presenting/interpreting data

     

    Numbers are never meaningful in isolation.  They're always viewed and used in a context.  Pulling them out of context and throwing them around is bullgaffle.

     

    I didn't hear this.  Would like to hear more, got a reference?

     

    https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/nfl-lions-reportedly-celebrated-away-matt-patricia-2018-mimosa-party-cam-newton-dance-215302941.html

    It was the last day of 2018 and the NFL regular season was finished. A group of 10 to 15 Detroit Lions players broke out the mimosas.

    Except this wasn’t a celebration of playoffs. The Lions disappointingly went 6-10 that season. It was, rather, a “cheers” to being away from head coach Matt Patricia at least temporarily.

    The anecdote is detailed by the Bleacher Report’s Kalyn Kahler in a piece about Patricia’s attempt to bring “The Patriot Way” to Detroit. The Lions (3-5) hired Patricia ahead of the 2018 season and have gone 12-27-1 since then.

    The mimosas, a culminating moment to various player stories of how Patricia made them unhappy or uncomfortable, were definitely not for winning.

    Lions’ mimosa party about leaving Patricia

    An unnamed player had a bottle of Champagne in his locker gifted to him by an agent for Christmas. He had been waiting for the right time to open it, and saying goodbye to Patricia warranted the pop.

    Before the final team meeting on clean-out day, the 10-15 players made mimosas. Via Bleacher Report:

    They chilled and sipped out of Solo cups, finally relaxing after a season of long practices, tough conditioning and routinely getting cussed at by their head coach, who had a long list of rules that a former player described as taking the fun out of the game. “It was a free-for-all,” he says. The stifling Patriot Way experience had been a culture shock many veteran players were elated to be done with.

    “Didn't nobody care at that point,” says a former offensive player. “Everybody was glad to be out of the building and done.”

    It wasn’t about another single-digit win season for the Lions players. Patricia, a disciple of New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick, had a communication style that didn’t sit well with players. Part of the issue was the transition from a “player’s-coach type” in Jim Caldwell to more of a strict, micromanaged approach.
