    I am not. Instead, going to try to do something that I’ve never done. I’m going to watch the Jets game from the pool. It’s supposed to be 78 and I have the heater on (actually jumped in yesterday). The pool isn’t closing until 9/23 so figured that I’d take advantage of this last week of summer. Go Bills!!

    What time should I come over?

    Here is an idea.

     

    Had Brandon Beane not burned the Bills third round pick for A pedestrian Amari Cooper because he panicked when shakir was hurt the Bills could have simply drafted Xavier Watts.

     

    Apparently Watts had a very good game against Tampa sunday.

     

    Xavier Watts, Falcons rookies have impressive debut

     

    Safety Xavier Watts was solid in coverage throughout the game, nearly intercepting two different passes and making some tough solo tackles. Watts finished the game with six solo tackles and two passes defended. Billy Bowman Jr. was flying all around the ball and held his own in coverage as well. While the Falcons did not start James Pearce Jr. or Jalon Walker, both rookies got plenty of playing time. Walker had three tackles and Pearce finished with one QB hit.

    Mac is better than Trubisky if you ask me. 

    I'd rather have Mitch. Mitch is a tremendous athlete, Mac looks like he trips up the stairs

    Often thought Shanahan wanted to draft Jones over Lance. But Lynch overrode Shanahan.

    I think Shanny wanted his version of Josh Allen

    I still think Lamar isn't an elite passer of the football. I'd take Josh Allen, Mahomes, Burrow, or even Herbert over him in a situation where you are down multiple scores and need to pass yourself out of it. Jackson is an elite QB, but he doesn't have the elite passing ability. Not that he is bad. He isn't. He's a good passser. He just isn't at the level of those other guys. As a total package, he is really special, though.

    Pretty much how I feel about Jalen Hurts. Elite talent, good passer

    McD presser gushing over prater 

    Well yeah, he did great. Prater is also 41 and at the end of his career as it is. No need to vilify the kicker you do have

     

    I’m not saying you need to keep Bass, but making a decision based on one game, is pretty silly

    punting the ball was incredibly dumb by Harbaugh

    Harbaugh always seems to get a pass, but dude has had top defenses and offenses and two franchise QBs back to back. He’s had two MVP campaigns from Lamar and now Derek Henry. He’s has coached in 1 AFC title game since 2012 and has 13-11 record in the playoff with all of that. He’s also apparently one of the most conservative coaches in the league. As soon as they lined up to punt instead of asking their 2x MVP to get 3 yards, I knew they’d lost

  7. Started reaching to some old contacts to get a feel of what else is happening in my industry. It’s becoming more and more clear my current role isn’t going to work and frankly, I need a paycheck. 
     

    I’m considering going back to school and started researching some programs for mental health counseling. That was my original goal when I started college and I talked myself out of it. If I do go back to school, I told my wife I’d have the plan set by January 1st. Whether that’s starting something right then, or planning for the fall

    Thanks for all the perspective in this thread. Helped me collect my thoughts a bit

    I wouldn't even say he missed the last throw; it's just a really tough throw to make and he put in a place where Lamb could make the (difficult) catch and it didn't work out. Dak had a very good game.

     

    I think there's a reasonable argument that Dak was the best player on the field last night.

    Dak gets a lot of flack in the media, but he is a good QB. He shouldn’t be the highest paid in the league, but he’s a top QB year in and year out

    Jalen Hurts is not a good QB, he had more rushes than Saquan and tons of dumps to TE or RB because he cant read a defense and I dont think Dallas is anything great, he is the beneficiary of a good team around him.

    Hurts is a good QB. You don't go to two SBs by sucking. Yeah, the Eagles have a fantastic roster, but Hurts fits that offense well and makes a ton of plays.

     

    I don't think he is an elite passer by any means, but he's an elite all-around talent.

    Thats the difference between a great QB and a good one.  
     

    Take the lowest degree of difficulty play with the highest chance of success when you absolutely have to have it. 
     

    Dak was not good in this game imo.  Not good enough.   
     

    Pickens did nothing.  But you telling me he wasn’t getting open?   

    I thought Dak was great all game. That last throw was the right read, just missed it

    From AI---Robert Kraft did not set the price for Sunday Ticket but testified that the NFL wanted to keep the service a "premium offering" rather than a widely accessible, lower-priced product, as evidenced by the rejected ESPN proposal for a much cheaper package

     

    Seems pretty clear the owners dont want a cheaper package.  

    Kraft does like paying for small packages to be played with

    Very fair that he didn't elevate the team, but he was a rookie.

     

    Josh Allen didn't elevate this team as a rookie. Our offense was 30th out of 32 that year. The best passing game that year probably belonged to Matt Barkley.

     

    More, wins are not a stat that you should judge a QB by, particularly a rookie on a truly crappy team. You judge a QB by how he played. Maye played pretty damn well for a rookie. I mean, I still have enough leftover hatred for the Pats that I hope I'm wrong, and he still has a ton to prove but he looked good to me.

     

     

    I'm not saying he should have won more games, that team was awful last year. But I just didnt see the eye popping plays that everyone is acting like he made all year. The one "highlight" they constantly show is him keeping a play alive against the Titans (who had the number one overall pick this year) and throwing a TD. Like yeah, great play but do I think he going to be as good as Daniels, Nix or Williams or Penix? No, I don't. I actually think McCarthy is going to be the best of them all purely because of who his coach is

    jets are going to be tough this year. Probably win a lot of games like 13-7, playing D and running the ball.

    No they won’t. The Jets did the same thing they did 4 years ago with Salah and are expecting the same result. 
     

    Get the hot D coach, play good defense and run the ball and win close games. The problem is, that style of winning football games isn’t sustainable. Most offenses are too good, and the Jets won’t be able to keep up. I expect a lot of good defensive performances and losing 17-6. Maybe Aaron Glenn will be smart enough not gloat about keeping Josh Allen under 200 yards while Justin Fields throws for 85 but did some good things

    Titans made the divisional round?  Impressive

    It wouldn’t shock me if they won their division. It’s the decent Texans team and a bunch of bums in that division. A solid season from Cam Ward and a few upset wins, and that a 9-10 win team

    I get that Baker Mayfield is having a bit of a career resurgence, but no way in hell are they making it to the dance. Detroit vs Buffalo. This is the matchup I want to see 

    The Bucs are very good top to bottom. If baker goes on a run in January, they could make it. Flacco won a SB that way
