  1. Diggs was 5-star recruit coming out of high school. He went to maryland to stay close to home, got injured a bit in his junior year, and had a terrible qb throwing to him his senior year. That’s why he was overlooked, but the talent was always there.
  2. You can’t use your shoulder on an aggressive blindside block, which is what mckenzie did. Full stop. It is what it is, even though I don’t like it. Just do a screening block in the future. It will have the same effect.
  3. It was just called on TJ Lockett a couple of minutes ago. Pretty close to the Same play. Not a mistake. They are calling it, and the rule is clear regardless of whether we like it. Just called it on Lockett. Players have to know the rules.
  4. I would take Wilson, but it’s an arguable point.
  5. It was a bad kick and given the distance, the Bills kinda got what they deserved. I have no idea whether it was good or not, but I also think that at that distance, it's on the kicker to make a kick that is clearly through the uprights. Bass does not inspire confidence at all.
  6. The Jets run defense was second best in the league last year as measured by DVOA. They are good at shutting down the run. https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/nfl/team-defense/2019
  7. I'm an Allen fan, but Cam's stat line was great on Sunday. Over 100 rating, 2 rushing TDs, and no TOs. Passing yardage is not an important stat.
  8. He played his final year in buffalo with an unreported torn groin muscle. Factor that into assessments like this.
  9. Man, this team looks great right now.
  10. Who cares about predictions, for christ’s sake?? The season is upon us. Pay attention to that.
  11. I think you are looking at stats incorrectly. Look at his adjusted passing stats, which measures like to like. 100 = league average, and in his first 10 seasons he was above average 9 times. The one time he wasn’t he was injured. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/N/NamaJo00.htm Again, you guys are looking at stats incorrectly. Look at other qb stats from that era and you will see what I mean. A rating of 80 often led the league in those days.
  12. Because Allen was 15 and using “n*ggas” while sophomorically quoting rap lyrics, a genre he appears to be a big fan of? Huge difference between a young kid doing that and a Bible-Belt holier-than-thou type (look it up) *actually implying that whites are a more elite people* (regardless of whether he was joking or not). It is figuratively apples and oranges.
  13. @DrDare and @Cantankeous — you have both expressed skepticism about my posts that this is all highly problematic for Fromm, particularly in the context of the team. Explain yourselves given that the best player on the team hands down - Tre White - is retweeting posts by multiple pro bowl players (Sherman, Adams, Lockett) taking Fromm to serious task. Plus there is the Jerry Hughes issue, who has been quite vocal about this stuff. They are both ten times the player that Fromm is and genuine team leaders—gamers who always show up and play through injuries. Hughes was badly injured late in the season but was the best player on the field in the Buffalo-Houston playoff game.
  14. If he said it, it's a problem, even if he was joking.
  15. It is part of a thread, and Fromm allegedly says that guns are good (not a problem), that he should be allowed to get suppressors (silencers), and that they should make suppressors expensive enough so that only elite white people could get them. The response is basically "Wtf, you think you're elite? Look at your profile picture." If legit - and I am not saying it is - it's super-problematic for the obvious reasons, but also because Fromm has painted himself as Bible-quoting devout Christian whose hobby is praying. (I'm not making the last part up). https://sportsspectrum.com/sport/football/2019/08/30/georgia-qb-jake-fromm-follows-god-embraces-pressure-as-he-chases-elusive-title/
  16. It's pretty simple and doesn't require translating.
  17. It's a top trender on twitter right now ...
  18. He basically took the Pats out of the hunt last season by taking away their annual bye week.
  19. He never really recovered from the leg muscle tear he suffered in OT vs. the Bengals early in the 2003 season. It took a couple of tenths of a second off of his 40 time.
  20. The Jets did one thing and one thing only in that game: completely choke away a game they had in the bag. Darnold's situation pales in comparison to that.
  21. Um ... Emmanuel Sanders is a REALLY good player who has had a terrific career.
  22. I was one. To be fair, I had no idea that the planar dimensions section of the Dungeons & Dragons core rulebook was basically his guide for living.
