  1. Something to something less
  2. All I know for sure is it is far better to win week one than to lose week 1. Damn.. That is sure rolling the dice...
  3. Not a surprise considering Rice's likely suspension. Might as well bring back the devil you know.
  4. Dorian ... next man up ....
  5. That is was a great interview.
  6. Saw this today.. How's this for perspective? Tyreek Hill: 26.8M KC Chiefs: Brown: 3.5M Toney: 2.5M Worthy: 2.5M Watson: 1.8M Moore: 1.7M Hardman: 985K Ross: 915K Remigio: 800K Chiefs Total: 14.3M
  7. Bottom line is he was happy that Diggs was happy. Great teammate.. No animosity.
  8. But will he melt in the Miami humidity?
  9. I saw Queen a few times as a teenager, once in Buffalo and once in Toronto. I kept my ticket stubs because well back in the day, that was a thing. My Queen ticket in Buffalo cost $7.50 for Blues in the Aud. I took my family to see the fake Queen (Adam vs Freddie) this year in Baltimore. Tickets for 4 were 1300 with fees. The kicker, a bottle of water was $7.50. The price of sporting events, concerts and the like is just getting outrageous. The SB is priced out of the casual fan now, I bought tickets minutes after the Bills schedule was released for SNF Buf @ Bal. Four tickets were 136 each and 196 in fees were added on the top. Those are upper deck seats in the gawd awful purple palace. And that's before the parking passes and the add ons for parking.. It's such a racket.
  10. The QB protection rules have done more to extend QBs tenures than anything else. Put anyone of those QBs in the Marino/Kelly/Elway era and they would be done by 35 too..
  11. Gotta admire the Panther's kicker holding out.. What could possibly go wrong with that decision?
  12. Ghengis Khan would disagree.
  13. No matter how it shakes out number of receptions-wise, Houston looks scary...
  14. His strength seems to be YAC. So crossing patterns...
  15. Stout against the run, teams will attack the unproven secondary.
  16. All penalties are enforced. 1. Get rid of half the distance to the goal. If the penalty can be assessed, use the available yardage. If the penalty can’t be assessed, award a first down. 2. If, say the defense gets 2 penalties on the same play, they’re cumulative. 3. If the defense gets 5 yards and the offense gets 10, the ball moves back 5 yards and the down counts. 4. If both teams commit the same amount of assessed penalties, the down counts. 5. Have one additional ref’s responsibility to watch clock and snap. All he does is call delay of game and rectify issues of timing. That keeps the field refs eyes on the game. 6. Get rid of microphones in helmets. Go back to signs to offense and defense from sidelines. Microphones mitigate home field advantage.
  17. Coleman was my choice and I got panned in the predraft and draft threads. There is something intangible about him that makes me think he's going to have a significant impact. While everyone focused on speed and separation, I was focused on he catches what is thrown to him. Way too too too early to compare him to D-HOP but my hope is just that. If the ball is thrown to D-HOP he catches it. Nice article. Agree that talk is cheap in May. But for a rookie to get national media attention shows me I'm not the only one who likes the potential. Very much like that he is a film hawk.
  18. Saw someone positing today that the Steelers are going to own the new rule. They could put Fields back in there as one of the two receivers. He could then run or throw back pass to the other side of the field as the coverage collapses in his direction. Interesting thought to have a QB back there with some legs and arm talent.
  19. I'm going with best of his career. Second year in Brady offense. Emergence of Cook and Dalton. Plenty of big receivers to spread the ball around too. And his number one distraction is playing north of the Rio Grande. I really believe this is the year we see Josh mature into THE team leader.
  20. Really curious what the value of his contract will be. Last year when Lamar held firm, he was able to get the Ravens to the table at his price. Tua's leverage isn't as great, but there isn't a logical candidate to fall back on in Miami. So that does give him some. Would be fun to be on the inside of some of these negotiations where they discuss the merits of things.
  21. I was as shocked as anyone that the untradeable Diggs was traded. But in retrospect, those inside the team appeared to know. Think about it. Reporters were constantly asking last year, "you guys good"? We as fans were bothered by that and just wanted that noise to stop. Now we get to another off season and Diggs starts acting up yet again. And soon enough he is off the team. My gut tells me, it was a combination of Allen-Diggs cooling, Brady's shift to Cook, and Diggs desire to be back in an offense that was more wide open. I think we fans want to lean into the narrative that players play for each other when in fact players play for gold and recognition. Especially receivers. Receivers get maybe 10-12 chances per game to shine. And when that number is reduced to 8 or 6 or 4, that directly effects their chances and their pocket books. I'm looking forward to this season as a season where Josh matures into THE team leader. Gone are his security blankets (Morse, DIggs and Davis). We now get to see Josh become Brady-esque or Mahommes-esque where he elevates the games of the people that play with him.
