Dr. Who

Smith takes a medication for blood clots. I'm not clear on the exact nature of his condition, but it was thought the nature of the medication he takes might preclude being able to play professional football. Evidently, those concerns were overwrought.

I don't see anyone thinking we should be a run dominant team. You don't wait twenty five years for a franchise qb to not throw the ball. Yet a great deal of the success of our last franchise qb was due to a fella, Thurman Thomas, and Kenneth Davis, these archaic creatures called running backs that were a recurring staple of an explosive offense that was hard to stop because you couldn't take away one aspect of the game and stymie the offense. And while I'm waxing nostalgic, we had a damn good oline that allowed you to run and pass, imagine that.

Well, I think both can be true. Oline, rb, dline against the run are problems. And we are getting beat by less talented rosters. They are taking advantage of our weaknesses and our fast track offense cannot compensate, particularly in bad weather games.

Yet they've got to do something. I surmise the draft is the main resource. Creed Humphrey is wearing a helmet with an arrowhead. That's a miss. I really can't properly evaluate coaching, but maybe they should throw money at the best possible oline coach while they are at it.

We do not want to be Philly. Stop this crap.

You sure seem to enjoy this.

Bama, Michigan, UGA, Cincy should be the order. Think that is just, moreover, it would give one the most enjoyable playoff match ups.

Well, Harbaugh has a habit of disappointing. I'm actually a moderate fan of the Wolverines.

I think they should show a graphic of a ref for the Pats* star player.

I'm really worried about the zombie attendees.

I haven't been watching the sports' shows much. This take is reasonably fair, if correct. I don't think Mac Jones has the option of not taking what the defense gives him. Intelligent game manager is what he is. If he is asked to make the wow plays, more often than not I suspect he will fail.

It seems likely to me that they were theoretically aware they would get the A level effort of other teams, but the existential reality was more than they expected. Maybe it's one of those things you simply have to experience to gain sufficient knowledge. And injuries and Covid has played a role, that and Beane seems to have miscalculated the benefit of keeping the oline intact. Brown is a nice surprise, but the interior line has to be a priority going forward.

And there was blatant holding on that play uncalled by the refs. They waited till our fumble prone kr had a kickoff return for td to throw a td negating flag.

Well, assuming the zebras call it without the bias towards a Kraft happy ending. So many reasons to want a Bills' triumph, but among them is to watch the legacy media cry and try to walk back the coronation.

It will be hilarious when Iowa beats Michigan. I'm rooting for Cincy to end up #4 if UGA beats Alabama, because I'm a Dawgs fan.

Dude, stop shouting in an empty garage.

Pessimism. Gene1973>>>>>>>>Ethan in Portland>>>>>>Scott Law>>>>>>

Several folks have mentioned Nick McCloud who I liked in PS. Hopefully one of these fellas can step up. McD seems to have a knack for developing dbs. Time to work some magic.

I realize you're an intelligent fella, but I have you pegged as comic relief. If you're going to provide analysis as well, I'll have to adjust my strategy accordingly. I'm classifying this post as zone coverage, though maybe now you're mixing in some individual interlocutor interaction. Still think the meme blitz ought to be part of your overall package, don't care what the coaches say.

That's because of all the blowhard bandwagon Patriot* fans.

For sure if we win the next four, Josh is back in the MVP conversation. Odds seem about right.

That's a complex thought. I'll allow it, but watching you . . .

That was the constant advice of the blind sage played by Keye Luke who among his many roles was son number 1 in the old Charlie Chan movies.

You're missing the point of life.

Yeah, that's only cute when you are winning. Toughen up fellas. Play time is over.
