colin

i was down on him earlier, but i can admit it wasn't his fault. bad oline play, not having our oline line up figured out, and bad play calling hurt him much more than his play hurt the team. im a bit uneasy about how our passing game has been cheeks for 3 weeks, but our run game, blocking, and D have been just killer for a month, so going in the playoffs looking tough. punt game? ya, let's just go for it every 4th down.

imo this is as close to done as it can be at this point. its his return home, so power to him. i hope mcd takes more control of the d, i think he's just better than frazier.

Wobbly pops!!!! that's going in the repertoire

assuming it fits contract wise and not too much in terms of trade cost, i'd totally want him on our team. an extra weapon like that with our new WR rental leaving this offseason would be a big get. 11 personnel with him, bease, diggs, davis, and knox is a nightmare for opponents.

i remember a lot of people, perhaps me i don't recall, being on team wade when ralph canned him, but wade was an awful HC and a great DC. remember when he refused to ware a headset? he put one on in dallas tho! wade hiring jones and refusing to fire him is just a great example of what a clown he was. how do you have the worst special teams ever? like, it's not so hard to be kinda ok there. but i remember game after game of just awful awful special teams performance. if we had a drive stall out at the say 35 of our own side of the field, you were hoping they didn't start the next drive at the 50. it was disgusting.

ive been a nervous fan all year, limits my enjoyment somewhat, but i am what i am. i'd say the best was KC. the best game in terms of action, although the ending was a horrible heart breaker was the Tenn game. it was back and forth with big plays, we so the best of both offenses, no shortage of excitement. the ending sequence, where we score the go ahead TD on a kick return, to have it called back, and then waltz down the pitch only to get a near goal line sneak stuffed was a sports writer's wet dream. i really want to go back into Tenn and destroy them in the afcc game. i really don't like the titans.

agree, we need a little roster expansion, both for total number of players and for active player limits. the way the cap is structured, your cheapest 3-10 guys basically don't count, so you can extend some burn to bubble guys, and see if they improve a bit in live game situations.

this is very interesting. there are also all kinds of micro trends our team gets into and out of. remember when we never ever stopped 2 point conversions, and were like the worst 3rd quarter team in the entire nfl? i think our O, and in many cases our whole team, are pretty streaky and emotional. this is reflected in how much we blow out teams in our wins, vs how bad we fall apart in games where the wheels just kinda start to fall off (tampa, altho the 2nd half was great, pittz once we stumbled in the RZ, Jax once we got dinged we the penalties, NE 1 once we got trucked a bit and couldn't run, etc). i almost think we need to face indy or some other horrible match up early to build back a lot of confidence and get some mo going. that said, i'd much rather face the raiders as a nervous fan.

It somewhat baffles me that with all the anti trust laws on the books, and there were anti trust actions in the past, they are basically DOA now, for both parties (isn't this what the left, or now the seemingly more populist GOP are supposed to stop?). The joy of the internet for many, at least at first, was that you didn't need to abide by what the powers that be want to distribute for your eyes and ears, you can find music not on the radio, you can get sports coverage not from the local or national paper (this message board is a still functioning example of how the internet can fulfill that function). Unfortunately, we seem to be headed back to where we started from, with fewer channels delivering content, more bundling, less actual choice. Totally sucks. I was planning on cancelling my athletic subscription. I sort of wanted to continue supporting them cuz i thought they were doing something interesting, but a couple decent bills articles a week is all i get from them. their boxing and mma coverage stinks, and their kick boxing/thai boxing coverage is basically zero. oh well, perhaps we will get another one of these in the future.

Bills over cowboys would be the sweetest super bowl, followed by bills over GB, then bills over TB, then bills over zona.

I can't stand the guy because he's a Titan (hate that team), but Henry really is one of the true workout warriors of the NFL. all these players train hard, but guys like him take it to the next level and constantly hire people and seek out new and better ways to train. He's probably very conscious of all of his measurable numbers, as well as mobility, reaction time, and odd little things like neck hand and foot fitness. Brady is one of those guys too, and it's paid off for him. The LB/DE Pitts had back in the day, Harrison, was big on it too. went from getting gut to NFL DMVP. of course, there are questions about PEDs and such, but assuming they know how to skirt protocols, that only makes them better players.

This is a really good point, but if we are gonna get to the chip this year, we most likely have to win in kc and tenn, which we almost did this year in the regular season. facing indy, then tenn, then kc, then GB in the chip would be the most insane gauntlet.

I think Lamar gets a monster contract, perhaps just back of allen, but the cap expectations might inflate that. I think baker gets a contract that gives the browns an out after a couple years. i'm not sure what the qb availability i the market looks like, but the browns have a lot of really high draft picks, and their rb, who will come under new contracts soon. a lot of that skill talent is gonna leave, but the ol and run game will be intact. a smart franchise would give a team friendly deal (basically the outs are what they need) and see if baker bites.

Oh, no need to question it, the talent sucks! It's just the coaches suck too.

I just refuse to believe that our starters are all worse than off the UPS truck guys who haven't started a game all year. These guys are also prepared. Imo, it's scheme and coaching as much as talent that impacts us.

Looking at that I think no way would they over turn that. It's short, bit enough not a blur that you won't get it.

Tru dat, but the penalties and that snap just shows me they play fast and hard, but too loose. They seem so amped up. Fun to watch, but would be heart attack to root for

Wow, it's even crazier than I was thinking. Zona is boom or bust to a fault. Are they always like this? It's like a freaking pac12 vs big12 game out there.

That 3rd down pass hit the floor, these refs have Christmas ornaments for eye balls

Lol, this broadcast team must be hitting the eggnog! They don't mention the obvious close call on that 2nd down pass, and instead show the holding from several plays ago. Merry Christmas football fans!

Ok, that's coming back but what an effort. Arizona is so fun to watch if you don't root for them. Just all exciting plays and horrible breakdowns in discipline.

I signed in just to say the same stuff every else is saying. It's clear RB talent matters, colts are playing a mash squad out there. It's also clear our offensive coaching kinda sucks. Our run game and blocking in general are cheeks way too often. Let's hope mc DS foot kicked new found religion into fatbols butt and he keeps some balance and maybe practices some run plays and misdirection till he takes a long walk away.

Awful sequence there. Josh blew w that big sack, but brown has been so shockingly bad today. He's actually made some plays, but his mistakes and penalties have been out of control

The only one who can beat Houghs at that
