Yep. Teams used to carry more LBs than DBs. Can't do that anymore with today's game. I'm old enough to remember Roger Staubach being the only QB in shotgun. Oh nooooo lol

True, but as you can see there's 30% under center. Lots to get used to if you've never done it, and you have to do it against the best of the best.

Lots of youth football is being played out of the shotgun formation today, which can actually deter some skill sets. Not many young QBs ever took a traditional snap from a center like the old days- that's just one symptom, but it's an important one.

I have a bad feeling about that December game in Cleveland. It's real easy to rip on the Browns but they aren't as bad as the pundits say. Before the game yes. Afterwards, Stephen A Smith claimed Texas is still #1 and Alabama had "the best quality loss" 😁

This is the same network that just had Texas ranked ahead of tOSU after Saturday's game. The Disney Network believes in fairy tales 🤣

Marc Levy-ish lol

Correct, but teams like tOSU aren't really hurt regarding recruiting because of a Noon game. tOSU, Alabama, Notre Dame, etc. are going to be ok even if they played on a Tuesday at 10am. Those early kickoff games would most likely hurt the mid-tier teams like Mich St., Kansas, Nebraska, Arizona etc. IMHO.

Bernie was amazing until his elbow got destroyed on a blind side blitz. Best deep thrower in the game. The Browns' main problem is they couldn't contain Elway. Denver got absolutely destroyed in those SBs. Cleveland matched up better with the NFC at that time.

I'd throw in the Vikings of the 70s & the Browns in the mid to late 80s.

I don't think he can either, but remember that the Packers are one of Goodell's darlings

No. The rings certainly help though. He's simply clutch. He may not, but his trajectory is there. Brady, Montana, Staubach, & Otto Graham are the true GOATS. Marino? Nope- all hype because he got rid of the ball so damn fast. How many AFC Title games in a row for Mahomes? I'm sure he'll get there again, and win a SB again, but I doubt it's this season. KC due for a fall this year.

JA is among today's top 3 QBs while Mahomes is among the top 5 all time greats, and it's ok to say it out loud.

Goodell is insane. 6 games for a major car accident, 11 games for begging for "personal services" from masseuses. WTF. Makes zero sense. Should be an entire season, at least more than Watson's 11 games.

James Franklin will make sure they drop to #12 lol. It's been a long long time since PSU took down scUM & tOSU in the same season. Although they ruined CFB with these expanded conferences, maybe they don't have to play either one this year.

The Browns aren't going to be winless 4-6 weeks in. While not a great team, they aren't nearly as bad as the pundits say.

The true NFL crime is the preseason ticket prices, and making season tickets holders pay it.

A statement of "oh sheesh the AFC East is ours"😬

Cincy is dangerous on offense for sure. If they start off slow again, I'd expect changes to the coaching staff.

I think that's the consensus. IMHO the Bills better get the Ratbirds at home for the playoffs. Is there another team that can emerge, like the Chargers or Broncos, and steal a SB spot? Doubtful. Pittsburgh went all in, many times that fails.

You may not know the whole story. Cliff notes: Modell screws the city over, moves the team to Baltimore after declaring a "moratorium." City sues the NFL, city wins but must field a team with a new stadium within 3 years. Totally wrong they moved in the first place, totally wrong the NFL imposed such a deadline.

Right, but I think the USA is littered with a bunch of speeders from age 16-25, no?

It's silly to "rank" fan bases, but much respect to the fans that put up with perennial losing. Fans in cities like Pittsburgh or Dallas don't cope with losing well at all.

Lol, that's truly an amazing fan base though. They show up despite basically 30 years of crap.

My memory is a tad "Blurry" lol

Once A Ratbird, Always A Ratbird
