  1. I can't say you're wrong. Someone was opining that when you have a late-career great QB like Peyton Manning or Aaron Rodgers, they are really the OC and the OC's job is to figure out what they like and install that. Where that goes off the rails is if the QB has really lost a few steps to where they can no longer execute their own offense, and that's what's happened with Rodgers. In Denver with Manning, it worked because Kubiak actually knows something and could come up with something that worked and talk Manning into it. I could be mistaken, but I don't think Nathaniel Hackett is a good football coach. While the assignment was "do what Rodgers wants" he was fine, but when it changed to "figure out something that will work and then get Rodgers to buy into it", he lost the flick.
  2. Not sure? Ty Johnson not sure either since he left his feet too.
  3. Well, he reconsidered his reconsiders on that TD throw to Coleman. I LOL’d at the Twitter clip captioned “***** it - Coleman is down there somewhere” The thing is, I don’t think Josh has ever played with a receiver in the NFL who could be counted on to go up and get a jump ball like Keon can. And it was pretty well thrown where it’s Keon’s ball, or no one’s ball.
  4. Don’t hold back, Pat, tell us how you really feel. It is, actually. I probably should just mute it though.
  5. Did Collinsworth seriously just say of Daniel’s “everyone else in the league slides right there” C’mon Cris.
  6. LOL. I can not imagine who, on the Jets, thought it was a good idea to march onto another team’s home field playing ‘Gangsta Paradise”. Josh’s expression says it all. “Seriously? We’re doing this?” Dumbest idea since TikTokBoi dancing pre-game on other team’s logos
  7. Please go smell some grass. Receivers and QBs communicate about incompletions through hand gestures all the time. The next TD pass was thrown higher and caught.
  8. Think he’s referring to a pseudo-bye where we rest many of the starters ‘cuz the win or loss has no seeding impact.
  9. I didn’t know Jamison Crowder was still playing
  10. Looks much better than he looked at USC Looks like he’s seeing the field well, going through his reads, and not getting flustered by pressure I certainly don’t want to listen to or watch Cris Collinsworth doing it!
  11. Over Under on me keeping Collinsworth volume on as far as the 2nd half? The ball washing on Penix and and the Falcons is already unreal.
  12. Meanwhile, in Minnesota, Sam Darnold played like his jock was on fire and throwing laser darts all over the field would put it out. I wonder what it’s like to be a Jets fan and watch the QB that your team drafted #3 overall (ahead of Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson) but then ran out of town, leading Minn to a 14-2 season and the (current) division lead?
  13. Oh, outstanding! Somehow I missed the 2nd sack in the 3Q Way to go, D!
  14. The OP who skipped the question mark and the person who typed all that stuff ware not one and the same
  15. So happy the Bills D denied him his 500th TD. Would have liked us to get another sack so he could set that record for “most sacked”
  16. After the trade deadline, all released players must pass through waivers. Regarding ‘Nard Dog I think your noticer needs to be put on notice.
  17. McDermott will tell you “it all starts up front”. His defensive design critically relies upon mainting gap integrity against the run AND getting enough pressure to make the QB uncomfortable and rushed with 4 DLmen. That’s why historically he’s been able to be a ‘DB whisperer”
  18. Does anyone know anything about Anderson's injury?
  19. I think they're resigned to the probability that he won't win MVP and they have bigger team goals in mind, like going into the playoffs healthy.
  20. I'm not saying that they are, but that rather adds to the point, right? If you have not-so-great starters and you replace them with their backups, it's an issue that different play-calling from the DC is not going to solve.
  21. I understand that point of view. But people who hold it have to understand that one uber-talented player is not enough; if it were, 15 years of Rodgers in Green Bay would have resulted in more than one Superbowl win. There has to be enough of a talented team put in place around that QB as well. The point of view that irks me is the one which seems to hold that replacing a winning coach who has built a consistently contending culture with - just about anyone? is going to automagically be an improvement that results in Championships. Because it's not.
  22. I would roll my eyes at your BIL. If Haley had such a great clue, why post-Pittsburgh did he spend 2 years coaching HS and now coaching USFL? Tomlin spent 6 years with Haley as his OC, but all of a sudden he's "intimidated" by him and he has to go because he's not a "yes man"? As HC of the Chiefs, Haley was noted as an egomaniac who created an atmosphere of mistrust and intrigue. Canning Haley and hiring Reid a year later was clearly a great move. As the Pittsburgh OC, there was notable conflict between Haley, Big Ben, and sometimes other players (Blount). At the time, it was rumored that Pittsburgh moved on from Haley because he and Ben just couldn't work it out. Big Ben had his most productive season as a passer the year after Haley left, so there's that.
  23. Thank you. Yes, I agree. And it's not that the Steelers organization hasn't taken some shots. They just haven't taken enough of a shot, and with both Pickett and Wilson they really didn't put enough of an OL in front of them. The Bills made that same OL sieve mistake in 2018 with Allen but because he's 1 of 1 he overcame it - took him a couple years though.
