  1. Here's an answer to both not spending #1s drafting WR or O-Line: For whatever reason they prefer veterans over rookies at both WR & O-line. The team has signed veteran free agents over drafting those spots on offense.
  2. So if the Jaguars beat the Chiefs will they lose their motivation since there would be no chance for a game in Atlanta? Mixon should be afraid that the Bills know that Cincinnati already sold tickets to the AFC Championship game in Cincinnati and will be motivated to feel the lack of respect the Bengals ticket office is giving the Bills. Earth to Mixon: All potential playoff game tickets are sold weeks in advance, including conference championship games that will never be played in the stadium of the team that sold the tickets. I remember one year when I still had seasons & the Bills sent out playoff ticket purchase orders when the chances of any home playoff games were slim & none. I remember opening the envelope (yes it was before e-mail) & laughing at the Bills for sending them out.
  3. Statically, Josh had virtually the same season in 2022 as he did in 2021.https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/A/AlleJo02.htm
  4. The only team in their division they beat was Washington. What does their division have to do with anything when their record in the division was 1-4-1? A team whose coach goes 1-4-1 in the division & beats up on bad teams for two thirds of their wins is not going to have their coach win COTY. 3 wins were gimmes vs 3 horrible teams. Not mediocre, horrible. Those 3 teams are drafting 1,2 & 4. That's 1/3 of their wins. Also, in their final 8 games they went 2-5-1. Anyone who truly believes Daboll should be COTY is homering more than Barry Bonds on steroids.
  5. The 49ers won 3,5 more games than the Giants. 6 of the Giants 9 wins were against sub .500 teams. 3 of wins were against the worst, 2nd worst & 4th worst teams in the NFL. Those 6 games were against teams with a combined record of 32-68-2. The Giants 3 other wins were against Washington, Baltimore & Jacksonville. Most of the tough teams on the Giants schedule, they lost to.
  6. It's obviously Shanahan & the playoff game was after the votes were all in. All the Daboll is a lock folks will be sorely disappointed when the voters from the entire nation & not just followers of east coast teams vote. I wouldn't be surprised if Daboll finishes behind a coach in his own division, Nick Sirianni, who is the likely runner up. Daboll might also end up behind Kevin O'Connell. A 9-7-1 record while finishing 3rd in the division is not Coach of the Year material. But they vote when the season ends, so the playoffs don't count towards Coach Of The Year. If they waited the Super Bowl winning coach would win every year.
  7. When was the last time one of the Super Bowl final 4 within a conference or a top 2 seed has started a rookie 7th rounder or UFA QB? I can't think of any prior to Purdy. To have a late round/UFA rookie QB this ready is unheard of. Even Brady was a 2nd year player as a 6th rounder the year before and had a full season riding the bench as the team's 4th string QB.
  8. Shanahan turned Mr. Irrelevant into Filet Mignon.
  9. Let's get real. The clear winner is Kyle Shanahan, and when the real votes are in that's who will win in a landslide. Shanahan won his division, got the #2 seed & was undefeated in games started by the last player taken in the 2022 draft, QB Brock Purdy. He's on his 3rd QB and winning with a guy who never started an NFL game before he went in late in December. The poll above is the ultimate homer vote. Daboll did a good job, but he had the 3rd best record in his own division. Here's a dose of reality: The Giants were closer to last place in the NFC East than 1st place. The biggest thing Daboll did was prove that Joe Judge had no business ever being a head coach in the NFL. Daboll got a decent season out of the #6 overall pick, it's just not the same as winning with Mr. Irrelevant in his rookie year.
  10. What prior QBs at a school did in the NFL has nothing to do with the latest QB. How many NFL franchise QBs came from Wyoming prior to Josh?
  11. She was 85 when the game started😄
  12. We're not playing a divisional opponent next week. Before last week I wanted both NE & Miami out since a divisional opponent knows you better and can be your toughest playoff opponent regardless of record. We fans got complacent after blowing out NE last year and forgot just how tough a team that knows you can make things.
  13. Damar is staying home & watching on TV.
  14. This is similar to Bill Belichick who pronounces his father's name differently than how his name is currently pronounced. The discussion starts around the 30 second mark in the video.
  15. When I see stuff like this, it is assuming that Tua is done & will be retiring. That's really a stretch right now. If 2 weeks from now Tua announces his retirement, this makes sense, but right now it's premature.
  16. He's real and he's spectacular! He's a good fit in Shanhan's offense and that's all that really matters.
  17. At 24-0 I switched to the season premier of Your Honor on Showtime On Demand. Fortunately it ended before the Jags 2nd TD & I was able to watch the rest of the game. i
  18. I'd fire Staley in the locker room and put him on a separate plane home. i
  19. If SF can get a conditional 1st in the 2024 draft they should trade Lance.
  20. Time for a Bills fan to crash through that table & end this nonsense. Unless Tua retires Brady has no business going to the Dolphins.
  21. Let's remember that for 3 years his backup was RGIII. I'm sure they have had lots of talks about how a once promising career was derailed by playing injured & making the injury worse. Nobody wants to repeat what happened to RGIII, especially someone without any long term contract with guarantees.
  22. A good example of putting numbers up by default is when we had Robert Foster in Josh's rookie year putting up decent numbers. Whenever I see someone who says that Josh sucked as a rookie, I point out how even as a rookie Josh was making his WRs look better. That's one of the reasons I was sold on Josh long before the people wedded to stats were. Even when he was completing passes in the 50% range (with bad WRs & bad O-Line), the talent was visually there.
  23. When you miss almost 30% of the games the last 2 seasons, it's tough to negotiate a long term contract. The franchise tag may be the only way to go for both sides.
  24. OBJ & Darryl Talley should travel together.
