I would love this.

Did Palmer get reinjured or is this still the lingering original?

They’re both right. Backdoor phone calls and dealings happen all the time.

Really nice message by Shawne.

I believe we already lost our waiver spot.

Trade deadline is over.

It's possible. But being pushed back to end of the waiver line just to block Philly or KC from getting a backup CB? That would surprise me. We are talking about a GM who has no problem directly trading with our arch nemesis.

Yeah. Honestly a bummer. Kind of surprised we didn’t reach out to his agent before claiming him.

I like Kubiak but his analysis has gotten lazy over the years.

For only 300k, it’s worth the chance. Let’s see what he’s got.

Agreed.

I have been screaming this for 2 months now. They just don’t get it. Welcome back.

Why? Tre has been playing quite well recently.

Thats an interesting question. There are several coaches who had perennial contenders who had to wait to get another job. I wonder if he would get hired.

The best thing the Patriots did (and this goes for Maye too) is hire Vrabel. The guy is a great coach and his players play HARD for him. They were ready to run through a wall last night. And Jackson dart felt it.

Ban Ban.

Yeah, I agree.

Carries has nothing do with my point. Because Taylor is on the field for most of the offenses snaps, the defense doesn’t know whether the Colts are going to run or pass the ball. This gives Taylor an advantage because the defense has to be cautious. When Cook is on the field, he is almost always getting the ball. That is to his disadvantage.

Even more incredible considering he is only on the field for ~59% of our offensive plays. To put that into perspective, Jonathan Taylor is on the field for ~85% of the Colts offensive plays.

Perhaps. But it happened on plays with no run blitz too.

Watching the game tape and wow did Hawes HANDLE Watt. Repeatedly. To the point where they started lining Watt up inside and had him crashing the B gap (perhaps to get away from Hawes?).

No he didnt. The GM did… and Vrabel was ticked off.

Ya know what? I’m on board! Let’s do it.

No, their defense was just as dreadful against Baltimore. Derrick Henry averaged 6 yards per carry. Their backup RB (Mitchell) averaged 9.5 yards per carry. As an offense, Baltimore averaged over 6 yards per play (compared to Cinci’s 4.8 yards per play). The reason Cinci’s defense “held” Baltimore is because Baltimore fumbled FOUR (4) times and had an INT. Five (5) turnovers will doom any offense. 3 of those turnovers happened on Cinci’s end of the field (aka Baltimore was close to scoring), and one of them was a Baltimore TD but the play was overturned after replay showed that the Baltimore player fumbled through the endzone as he was crossing the goal line, so it turned into a touchback. And prior to the Ravens game where they were helped by 5 turnovers, their defense gave up 26 to NE the previous week, and 34 to Pitt the week before that. If we don’t run all over that defense, it’s 100% on us. Now, whether our defense can stop them is a whole different story.
