I volunteer @Gugny to look this up. Quickly please and thank you.

Yes I would be happy. I think expectations are dangerously high right now. A playoff win is a step in the right direction. I'd be thrilled if we made it to the conference championship.

I think different things motivate different people. I find it disconcerting that AJ couldn't beat out someone who was an UDFA last year. I also remember his combine interview with the team where he said he believes that everything has to be earned. Could be he is 3rd string, could be the coaches know him and want him motivated to earn his way up the depth chart. Rookies are going to have a hard year this year because of the lack of a preseason. My guess is you're going to see a lot of early picks peppered in throughout the game but deferring to vets when it comes to starting.

Terrible photoshop. Why does Josh look like he's been crying?

The Jets board is completely delusional

24 hours to see if Joseph is picked up and then we'll likely see him on the practice squad

I feel like people are conflating being against a wildcat strike with being against social justice. Skipping a week of football does nothing to solve any problem, it's just stroking the egos of millionaires to make them feel better. Anyone who wants to make a difference to any cause should donate and get involved in their community to band together and actually help solve issues. This is false activism and the only community it serves is the NFLPA so people can give them credit for being woke.

Remember when Sports Illustrated was a thing? When did they disappear? I'm gonna say 15 years ago?

Goodbye racism! The NBA pretty much almost ended racism already, so this should definitely finish it off.

I only voted because I saw the 6 seed and felt disrespected.

Agree to disagree...

That will get you me-first players who are over the hill and looking to make a buck before they retire.

JAX is an awful place to play. Between the HC and the ridiculous amount of player grievances there is no reason to sign there.

I won't care about the season til it starts. Even then I won't let myself invest emotionally into the season because half of me believes we're not making it through the whole season. Not only is there zero bubble in the NFL, they are allowing fans in stadiums according to state regulations. So even if everyone in the league is 100% safe, you could have some moron come to the game and start a an outbreak.

TG has an axe to grind with the Pegulas. 3 people leave and "the entire marketing department" is used to try and fan the flames of pretty much nothing.

Spags, glad you're back. Hope you brought your shine box. I got a pair of wingtips that are still scuffed from kicking you around the board the last time you were around. Surprised you didn't say anything about how your QB, the mascot for Wendys, is better than ours. You fall in love with her yet?

The Filibusters

I listened to the whole zoom conference call and came out less certain than I'd like to be. He talked about how making sacrifices now will eventually set up his family for generations to come (ok this is sounding good), but in the next breather he also mentioned how he didn't go to the DB workouts because he didn't want to go through the airport and expose his kids to anything (back to being uncertain). If I had to guess I'd say he is 51/49 leaning towards playing but is trying to justify his decision to himself. Hard to lose an All-Pro and compete. Then again, this is shaping up to be a weird anomaly of a season. It's one thing to have a team looking out for each other and taking precautions, but it's a whole other thing knowing you have to fly to another town, expose yourself to the risks of an unknown environment where you don't know if the people you are playing are taking things seriously. If given the option as a player with financial security, I'd probably opt out myself.

Strongly doubt it considering the salary cap will drop about 25M next year. There is no evidence of any negotiating ploy and no time to get a blockbuster deal done.

I did like the ".. for his age. He looks ok for his age."

Find someone who looks at you the way Kay Adams looks at Josh Allen

I'm seeing a lot of gum-flapping and complaining over the possibility someone else's decision affects their entertainment. It's his decision, let's leave it at that. Athletes don't owe you anything and likewise you owe them nothing.

Then send about 100+ people home for each team where their sphere of contact increases exponentially. Unless everyone is tested daily before contact with anyone at the facility, someone will get COVID, come to practice and screw the whole team. Teams with widespread illness will not participate in the season because of it.

The only thing that will work is a bubble as shown by the NBA/MLS. The NFL won't want to lose the ticket revenue and the bubble would have to be enormous to accomodate these large rosters so that's never going to happen. I expect we will not make it through an entire season.
