Were you wearing your US Egg outfit? 😊

People here and elsewhere are really underestimating Sean Tucker. As you pointed out he's one of the fastest RBs in the league, as fast as. Achane, faster than James Cook, faster than Jahmyr Gibbs.. and he had a great career at Syracuse setting 4 school records for a program that had Jim Brown, Ernie Davis, Larry Csonka, Floyd Little, and Joe Morris. Tucker was named to several All-American teams and was a finalist for the Doak Walker Award. The fact that he went undrafted was a big mistake for 32 NFL teams.

As @gonzo1105 said, the whole class has been a disappointment so far. McConkey's been the best. Nabers can't stay healthy. Odunze and Harrison have shown flashes but zero consistency. Brian Thomas had an excellent rookie season. Pearsall, Legette, Polk, Mitchell, McMillan, Baker have all done little or nothing. But I guess we should have doubled down.

It took 3 pages but we finally got there... good job! Plus he does too many TV commercials... or at least he eventually will. Disrespectful? I guess you're kidding because John Lynch is in the HOF.

The Texans game is huge? Everything's bigger in Texas...

Actually this topic has been discussed on this forum ad infinitum. It's been debated heavily. It's tiresome that it's again sprung up for discussion but on a message board where too many people post and not enough people read, discussions are easily lost in the flood of repetitive, indistinguishable takes.

The Saints are 2-8.

Stroud is out but he's not forgotten... Talk about being able to read the field... Thank you! Don't mind if I do! It's amazing how they can manipulate photos to make a guy's neck look shorter. From where? Alpha Centauri?

I don't know. I just remember he changed his list after the uproar and took someone else off, either Dak Prescott or Jalen Hurts or both. I think he added Joe Burrow too but I don't remember clearly what happened other than deciding that in his infinite wisdom, that Prescott and Hurts deserved to be on the list but Josh didn't. Miles Davis!

Well only a day or two later Stroud changed his list after the uproar reaction. I think he added Josh at #4 and removed Dak Prescott.

The bad personnel decisions were Pete Carroll's. Since he left Schneider's built another Super Bowl contender. On the same day (March 13th) that Sam Darnold signed a free agent contract with Seattle for 3 years and $100 million, the Raiders and Carroll traded the 92nd pick overall for Geno Smith and signed him to a 2 years, $75 million contract. Now I know the jury's still out on Darnold, there are times over the last two years where he's looked elite and he would have cost the Raiders less than Geno did.

That goes without saying and no one's disputing that.

Back to the allegations that Coleman doesn't give full effort on some plays... as I've said before, if you watch the All-22 even occasionally you'll see plenty of WRs NOT running full speed and you'll see lots of pass rushers quickly throttle down when they calculate that the pursuit probably isn't worth it... kind of like a lion will know early on whether it's worth continuing to chase the zebra. Stevie Johnson was asked about Coleman's effort last week and said "And people talking about effort, they show one play that I saw on effort. And I mean, you got to really know the game is a must outside release, you know, backside of the play, not involved. Everybody knows that. And, you know, they eyed that one play on Keon. Now, I'm not here to defend like that, but I'm here to be equal with everybody. You know what I'm saying? And, you know, just calling that part out, you know, that wasn't his play to be running hard on. You know, you got to bypass that." Now I understand McDermott didn't exactly come to the defense of Coleman but remember this was in the context of McDermott feeling tons of heat after the loss to Miami and he may have found it convenient to be able to throw some different meat to the media corps for them to chew on.

When Stroud came out with his list of top 5 QBs, what jumped off that list was that all 5 players are people of color.

If he went to the Patriots, you'd have to decide if you believe that Vrabel would be able to manage him. Their defense is pretty interesting now. They traded for Logan Wilson and tonight's the long-awaited return of LB DeMarion Overshown who was looking like a star before his catastrophic knee injury last year. Pete salvaged Geno's career but possibly at the expense of his own. As the years pass from that Seattle Super Bowl team, the person who's maintained his reputation is GM John Schneider. Meanwhile Carroll and Russ have been tarnishing their legacies.

"In an appearance on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast in June 2024, C.J. Stroud ranked his top five NFL quarterbacks from the 2023 season. His list, which included himself, featured Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson at the top." Here is C.J. Stroud's ranking of his top five quarterbacks from the 2023 season: 1 Patrick Mahomes Kansas City Chiefs 2 Lamar Jackson Baltimore Ravens 3 C.J. Stroud Houston Texans 4 Dak Prescott Dallas Cowboys 5 Jalen Hurts Philadelphia Eagles

First of all we don't know that stupidity is the issue with Coleman. Personally I don't think that's what it is. And I don't know why it's funny that some people choose to have faith in a person. IMO hopefulness is a virtue and not deserving of being mocked.

Being blocked by people by you is a merit badge... and I know you're reading this. Checkmate.

According to the NFL NetGen Stats, the Chiefs have a 54% chance of making the playoffs.

It's his non-throwing wrist, FWIW.

If people are buying their Thanksgiving turkeys, it's about time to post this: To Break A Tie Within A Division (Two Clubs): If, at the end of the regular season, two or more clubs in the same division finish with identical won-lost-tied percentages, the following steps will be taken until a champion is determined. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs). Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games.

Strength of schedule in all games Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed in all games.

Coin toss You mean the reverse? Also it seems like there's more blowouts on Thursday nights than on Sundays... just an impression. He played without the club yesterday...did I miss something?

Who said he was uncoachable? He's a cancer? F*&k this guy because you'd prefer he was moping? What if he's trying to buoy up his teammates and not drag them down? You must be very smart. Which attitude is that? Was he late for the team meeting or the position group meeting? Why are you laughing at them? If he's benched, I hope it brings you great joy... or satisfies your emotions. Never mind... they've already got the pitchforks out...

True but he's still being misused. The best case scenario is that Shavers can reach the level of play that we got from Hollins last year.

Also people here tell me that time is a flat circle. Perhaps the Patriots will show that they're legit... I have no idea. But until they actually win in December and in the playoffs, I'll remain skeptical.

There's nothing wrong with being concerned after a win but the word used was "miserable" and I agree there's something wrong with a person being miserable after a win. Yes and to your point, the 2 point conversion pass he emailed over Reggie Gilliam's head happened with 9 minutes left in the game. It was a bizarrely great performance by Josh but one that I think a lot of people are having a hard time processing. I don't have a problem with friction in the locker room. Like I've been saying, you have (or should have) a room full of alphas... and a team without the occasional heated disagreement is a losing team. If people are embarrassed or ashamed of anything they post in the game threads, they shouldn't post in the first place, IMO. About 5% of what's posted in those threads has any value... the rest is honestly pathetic which is why I stopped participating and reading them. It's like listening to WGR and having a lobotomy at the same time. McCarthy is being given a multi-week audition. If he fails, the Vikes are still gonna want to have Jefferson around to help develop their next QB prospect. It was hard to hear but it sounded to me like Coleman was being patient, mature, and thoughtful in his replies. If the replies weren't satisfactory to some people it could be due to age and cultural differences... but the hatred he's getting is really disappointing to me.
