his "kid", whom he hired, aware of the road rage incident and prior DUI....

Unless Andy poured drinks for his kid and sent him on his way home, Andy still had nothing to do with the accident.

Fair, but on Thursday at 9 pm prior to the Superbowl, I think the probabilities favor their LB coach was in the facility watching film and knocking back some shots, and that with a history of drunk driving conviction he wouldn't want the possible publicity of being seen drinking in a bar near the stadium.

 

But I acknowledge that's just my take on the issue and it's possible he finished his tasks then went off to "decompress" at a dive bar.

How are your projections of Reid’s actions prior to the accident any different from the guy’s projections of the lost Super Bowl, who you chastised?

Criticizing him for looking "bad" against Kelce in that particular offense with that particular set of offensive coaching, is like blaming me for looking bad in a game of chess, against Bobby freakin Fischer.  The opponent matters.

 

I don’t know about you, but I can beat a dead guy at chess.

They do need to cut Singletary and find one that won’t let Kelce and Hill run amuck in the secondary.

Put an OT in his face and block him for 5 yards?

What we have seen from the offense is he likes PA roll out and mobility with quick decisions.

 

The offense at its best had a high throughput RB and Goff was hitting quick throws to RB/TEs outside and WRs on crossing routes.  Lots of misdirection and movement.

 

Stafford with his various injuries is no longer that mobile QB or a guy that can sprint out for wide handoffs.  He is more of a drop back - pocket passer that hits WRs outside the numbers and TEs on the seams.

 

The Rams offense maintained its strength attacking the edge and then bringing WRs across the field in the opposite direction of the motion into cleared out areas.  I think Stafford forces it back to a more conventional offense with drop backs and straight hand offs attacking the middle of the field.  Basically to me - Stafford brings more experience and a better arm, but you lose McVays creativity to scheme people open with motion and roll-outs.

 

There’s more than one way to skin a cat. The Bills’ offense changed dramatically once Allen became capable of different skills. McVay is a bright guy and I don’t see why he’s not capable of designing an offense that plays to Stafford’s strengths.

It’s lack of sun. It’s been cloudy for months. He needs to sit under some sun lamps. No sunglasses, no sunscreen.

So I couldnt find any tickets sold in sets of 2 in the 100 sections for the game tomorrow. I ended up buying 6 thinking I could just sell the others as a block of 4 but unfortunately SeatGeek isnt allowing that (they have in the past). 

 

So now Im stuck with 4 tickets (Section 120, Row 32, Seats 9-12) that I need to sell....even if at a partial loss. A full loss would obviously suck bad. The transaction can be handled via my invoice from Business PayPal account. The buyer has full protection through PayPal and can be certain they'll get the tickets or refunded. I'll send mobile passes immediately after payment is made to the buyer's email. You would be joining me and another friend who were both just tested for Covid yesterday and passed with flying colors.

 

If interested, please inbox me with your best offer (PLEASE DO NOT make offers in this thread).  The max I will sell them for is $1845 which is what I paid (I bought them right away when they were a bit higher than they are now. I know I will likely have to sell them for less.) At 9PM ET I will notify the person who made the top offer and we will go from there. If looking to compare prices with sites online, remember to check the final price just before checkout to make sure the substantial fees are included and you are looking at the actual price.

 

Lastly, I'd rather not break the 4 tickets up...BUT would consider sets of 2's. Please dont contact me about only 1 as I won't be able to accommodate that. Thanks.

 

If you’re married, you won’t be if you don’t sell those tickets. 😂

I think the place we disagree is the prevalence of racism in NFL Exec level. 
 

My entire premise rests on my belief that they aren’t overtly racist. If they are then I am 100% wrong and more needs to be done. 
 

I respect your position. I just don’t agree (but acknowledge I don’t know the hearts of NFL Execs). 

I appreciate that.  I don’t think the NFL or its team owners are overtly racist. But I think there’s enough institutional bias that has been recognized and has resulted in corrective actions being taken. Some may not think it’s effective, or even sincere - and some of that may be true.

That is a question I really think should be explored more! 
 

It’s truly systemic and has layers and layers to protect itself. That’s why I feel a lot more energy should be focused on this problem. Fighting ghosts just lets the system chug along unimpeded. 
 

I think just increasing awareness of the problem and more scrutiny on staffing decisions (ok Bob, is your son REALLY the best guy to do this??) would go a long way.

 

Look at most of the current successful HCs. Most were interns first. That’s the level that I think could make the most difference IMO. 

Your point about interns is very true and Gugny also made that point.

Sticks and stones and runaway roans
This thing from your heart
Crawled into my bones

I see blue skies bleeding
Colors screaming some invisible thing is the enemy now
And if I knew it's name I would call it out loud
Come out and come clean

Won't trade my pony
For the iron rail
Bare-back fresh track
Down the game trail
Spring strong sweet tall green grass
Free wide run wild river flow
Clear sky moonrise long ride home
Buffalo!
Buffalo!
Buffalo!

I don’t think anyone would argue that there wasn’t overt racism in the 60’s. I just don’t think it’s a driving factor anymore.

 

While all the current focus is on hidden racists, the actual decision makers take a public stand against racism in all its forms (like any decent person). They vow to make sure they interview minority candidates...etc. 

 

Then the HC calls and says the LB coach needs some help and the assist LB coach’s son is willing to intern. 
 

Decision maker gets irritated and tells the coach to just do whatever he feels is best for these low level staffing decisions. 
 

If the focus was on fighting nepotism, a much wider field of entry level positions would suddenly be available to new blood, including minority candidates who may not know a guy already on the inside. 
 

I think this would do more to fix the issue of retread coaches getting a million undeserved looks, than whatever is going on now. 

Yeah, I see this happens. Belichick’s son comes immediately to mind. But I just don’t see it happening on a large enough scale to crowd out minorities. 
 

There is an old boys’ network in the league, and you seldom see black coaches be a part of it. That tells me it’s less about nepotism and more about racial bias. 
 

The league has several programs in place to promote development of minority coaches and administrative staff. To me, that shows the league understands it has an issue on it’s hands that needs to be addressed and they are taking action.  It may not seem sincere, but the proof is in the pudding.

you ask why is there a rooney rule, implying that the reason must be driven by logic. 

 

im not going to argue one way or the other. But not all decisions are based on logic and reasoning. 

Well, there is logic and reasoning involved even if the action taken is not sincere. So if the NFL is just employing  the Rooney Rule for the optics involved, there is a logic and reasoning behind it.  Perhaps for anti-trust reasons or whatever. A group of billionaires may look like a bunch of idiots at times, but they are savvy.
