I think thats just insane. His departure is what allowed Josh to feel more comfortable as the undisputed leader of this team. You don’t risk messing with that for an old WR off a major injury. Who knows if he’s ever close to the version he once was.

Great Scott! Are you saying you can actually show strength without having to show strength?!?! I thought only the yellers and pointers were strong 😂

So in your eyes if a guy wants to find a new friend group the best was to do that is punch all his current friends in the face? We can shift more towards not being the world police while not pooping all over everybody and leaving plenty of enemies in the process.

Can you imagine if a country invaded and occupied the US over several years. Then a foreign leader tried to resolve it by seemingly siding with our invaders, accusing the US of starting it, and calling our president a dictator. Asking for damages for war support in the form of minerals and basically shaming our leaders in public demanding they say thank you and bow like children. I don’t care what you think of Ukraine, but to think of the same thing happening to us and how people would respond just shows how disconnected Americans are with this situation and what they feel is acceptable.

Do you really think his supporters would be capable of discussing when he’s making clear mistakes? I like how he’s throwing a wrench in the system. I’m not a very big supporter of the political status quo. But how abruptly this is all happening and the alliances he is forming or choosing not to form will have impacts on the future. He doesn’t know what those are, neither do I, neither do you. But one thing that seems beneficial in the world of global positioning and politics is stabilization. All of it seems like it will become destabilized at the pace we are on. Maybe some feel that is something that had to happen. Careful what you wish for I would say.

Fixed it

What’s funny or not so funny, about this whole thing…. If you knew nothing of any of the countries and only evaluated the United States behavior post Trump you would believe Russia is our closest allies, Ukraine, Canada, Mexico, and China were our greatest enemies and we just felt complete indifference to all of Europe. I guess all in the name of America first?

Maybe I missed his masculinity as his voice was cracking trying to defend his views from TV shows.

Pillow soft, just because somebody was a news journalist and went they training at a young age doesn’t mean the 40 year old version of him isn’t a marshmallow.

It was humorous seeing Vance stammering trying to defend his opinions with things he saw on TV. He’s one of those guys that will act tough if he’s hanging out with his friends but he would just shrink alone under any marginal threat.

The Iranian government can barely tie its shoes correctly. They’re dated, shrinking in allies, and not supported by the people. I don’t see something like you’re describing happening, but if for any reason the US supported a conflict in that region and it gave the people hope of getting rid of Khameneh I’m sure they would support it (as much as one can under the threat of retaliation). I know a decent amount of them and it’s truly sad what those people have to deal with. It seems like most of the western world just chalks them up as extremist and it’s just so far from reality. The regime are extremist, most the people are midwestern nice and very pro US.

I have serious concerns Brady doesn't know how to use a true #1. If he does, I wonder how much more + the offense can be? Certainly they can get much better with a resource like Metcalf, but they already were near league high's in multiple categories. How many historic offensive teams tend to win it all? Maybe the Rams long ago? Some degree of balance seems to part of the formula. We really need a better defense. It was the worst iteration of any of the playoff teams we had and was almost completely dependent on turnovers to make it work (I think they were ranked in the 30's in EPA excluding turnovers). It was dreadful. Obviously I have concerns over if a defensive investment can pay off given my less than stellar feelings on McD, but with that said, I know to a certainty it won't work if he doesn't have more horses. Where I know Allen and company will still be a threat any game to drop 30 on a defense even with who we have now. No perfect answer to this, but that's my feelings at the moment.

Here you go again, bizarre, illogical, dare I say preposterous! You’re out of order sir! These posts are like a cartoon character. You do realize that was probably the best defensive team of that decade? Not even probably, undeniably, most certainly, undoubtedly, bla bla bla. I don’t even know why I try sometimes.

Get it out Hermie

The non extremist Muslims which is a huge part of Iran are pro America and very liberal. But they don’t typically teach that on TV or in 10 page books.

He’s a hell of a player. Saw a lot of his college games.

It has to be big enough for the sensors to catch it

He had 8 sacks in 13 games in 2022. Just not sure if the progress is really occurring at the rate it needs to. Is he going to progress to a legit double digit guy? I don't see it. Really tired of this regime extending drafted B players. Greg is fine, but he's not a true impact player and what we I don't want to do is block out a position from further investments with B players.

Pro Football reference has them ranked as follows using SRS/simple rating system.

Cooks run for me

In 2023, the injuries were pretty significant in the playoff game. It sort of weakens that statement if you want to argue that in 2024. 9 of 11 healthy is better than most and about as good as we will have it. We let a Chiefs team who has struggled moving the ball all year go up and down the field on us. Which they didn't do in either playoff game outside of ours. But it's not like this is a new conversation. Chiefs are really good, injuries, luck not on our side vs Beane sucks, McD sucks. That's basically what this board has become.

My new favorite insult for people

Not sure how else he needs to phrase it. Regardless of any other variable, offense had the ball last with a chance to win. We didn't score a TD on either drive. Despite a ton of other reasons we fail in these moments we also failed in this spot. Just because none of it happens without Josh, if the measure is the Super Bowl, then he has to have some responsibility in those results. I'm sure he feels that way probably more than he feels he is being left out to dry.

Who in your mind was undeserving winner of the "The Tournament"? IE, not one of the top couple teams in the NFL? From what I can see, the best or second best team has won "The Tournament" every year below. It sort of doesn't fit with your marketing campaign to brand the NFL playoffs as something totally random.

I don't think they "get up" more. I think they save more for the playoffs. Which puts us at a strategic advantage in the regular season and a deficit in the postseason. We basically rolled out a man centered approach on defense in the regular season game this year. Regardless of Benford, they were VERY prepared for that look in the rematch. Look at the quick throws they used on the first drive they had. Then look at how they ran Mahomes in the playoffs really pushing the edges. They didn't try any of that in the regulars season game. The year prior which was a must win so I get it, but that is when we unleashed the RB passing game. Cook blew up in the first quarter. IF KC finds an edge to exploit, they aren't using it in the regular season game, we will.
