Low Positive

Bama being not only mediocre, but also boring to watch?

I’m not sure Tom Brady was entirely honest. Here’s a video of Payton Manning talking about his relationship with Brady during their playing days.

I'm blame McDermott's clapping.

Such spicy hot takes for a back end of the roster transaction. Teams are doing this all the time. Did you know that the Pats signed backup QB Will Grier to their 53 from the Bengals practice squad? Or that the Jets signed OT Cedric Obguehi to their practice squad?

Since this is a closet “Beane misses on draft picks” thread, I’ll put this here. Howie Roseman built a super bowl team, largely via the draft. Howie Roseman also drafted Jalen Reagor one pick before the Vikings took Justin Jefferson. Reagor is currently on the Pats practice squad. Jefferson is the best WR in the NFL. They had to go out and trade for A.J. Brown. That cost them not only draft capital but also cap space. I’m sure Eagles fans wanted Roseman’s head for this.

Absolutely. They win a lot of fluke games last year.

All true. But why does the clapping itself bother people? I’m an IU basketball fan. Tom Crean was a bad coach in Bloomington but fans hated his clapping on the sidelines most of all. I never understood it and I don’t understand it now.

Why does a coach clapping bother fans so much?

Im really beginning to think that Shannahan and McDaniel have cracked the code of how to win without the superstar QB. It’s like college basketball where the coaches are the real stars.

The reason I want Purdy and Howell to fail is that the Bills invest so much draft capital and financial resources to get a franchise QB and these teams fall a** backward into one.

Denver at home. @1:00. The Broncos are gonna get cooked in more ways than one.

Fubo was in a Mahomes sandwich.

If we redid the 2023 draft, would Purdy go #1 overall?

More violent but a lot slower.

I’m waiting for Brock Purdy to “come back down to Earth.” Then again, i spent the early 2000s waiting for Brady to look like a 6th rounder and we all know how that worked out.

There we go again. Fitz talking about Josh regressing without Daboll. By this point it has become “conventional wisdom” in NFL circles even though the stats do t bear that out.

San Fransisco. They have the cheapest starting QB in the league so they can just load up in every other area.

Todd Christianson is rocking a suit with a full-permed mullet. Gotta love the early 90s.

I am watching the 1992 AFC Championship Game on YouTube I probably watched this game, but it was during the first weekend of the second semester of my freshman year in college so I might have been busy with a hangover. A couple of things jump out: Dick Enberg and Bob Trumpy were a really good broadcast team and better than any team currently working in the NFL for any network. Bruce Smith was an absolute game-wrecker. I know that we talk a lot about Donald or Parsons now, but Bruce just destroyed Marino in this game. The Bills were known for their high-flying passing attack, but they ran the ball a whole lot. There were so many fewer flags. Bryan Cox got a roughing the passer call. It was so egregious that if someone did that in today's league they would have been suspended. You could mug WRs back then. I think if Marino had played with today's PI rules he would have won multiple Super Bowls. Kickers are sooooo much better today. They made a huge deal out of a 50-yarder that's routine now. Early 90's Honda Accords and Acura Legends were really solid cars with a timeless look Kelly was not an accurate passer. He missed wide-open guys and threw a pick in the first quarter that was worse than any that Josh threw in Week 1.

But he's fat and loves nuggies!

Peterman has made 6.6 million dollars playing football.

It seems to be working just fine for HIM. It's YOU for whom it doesn't work.

I know that it's not usually acceptable to admit when you're wrong on the Internet or in 2023 in general, but I was entirely wrong in engaging in speculation in this thread. I jumped to conclusions in a desire to score cheap points on a message board and made horrible accusations based on conjecture. I, above all people, should have known better given what I do for a living.

I am so dissappoint

He’s not exactly wrong. But the backups in on D were really trying not to give up that garbage time TD.
