  1. FWIW, I agree about Belichick being motivated by losing. But at some point the wherewithal falls short
  2. I don't understand the Dak adulation. He's gone to playoffs 3x in a 6 year career - that's great - he's also what, 1W and 3L? It seems to me that he can pass all over the place, but it doesn't necessarily translate to clutch or winning. Of course that's not all on him, but he doesn't seem to face the same degree of questions that other QBs do. Great post. /🎤 post. I could live with Chris Collinsworth not having laryngitis; no reason to kill him off. I think Beasley's rap songs have to make the list somewhere. I'm disappointed you don't rock handwarmers.
  3. This. To @ganesh, You do You, but beating GB without Aaron Rodgers by a score of 13-7 or Dallas without Cooper 19-9 are wins, they count, but not that impressive and not road.
  4. Dude, if he was on the field for half the snaps, he was probably on the field at times when it mattered. Thornhill played 99% of the snaps and Mathieu 81%, so my guess would be KC is using him in their nickel or dime packages which they play a lot, and you just didn't see him - but who knows? You want to figure out how many of the snaps were "garbage time", and how many of Sorenson's snaps aligned with that, Knock Yourself Out.
  5. Because our TOS explicitly allow fans of other teams, providing they come to talk football
  6. Dude, a couple of worried dudes hardly constitute a "scathing from his own fanbase"
  7. I think Barmore is That Guy for you, and he was playing pretty impaired.
  8. My point of view. I'm pretty sure Diggs would have permission from the team to travel. I know he likes to travel by private jet, so he 's not sitting around an airport packed into a Passenger Mailing Tube with 300 of his closest friends. None of us know, nor should we know, what the guys are doing on their off time. We just have to have confidence that they're fierce competitors who don't want to get sick and miss a playoff game and will take all reasonable precautions. This could either be a worse exposure risk or a lesser exposure risk than some stuff other players are doing, no way to know and I wouldn't want to be "all up in their business" about it if I could.
  9. LOL. It's coming...right there...WAIT! WHERE that football GO?
  10. I don't think you should undersell the Pats. They're a good team. You don't win 10 games in the NFL without being a good team. Your dead grandmother is not a good team.
  11. I could be wrong but I think XP snaps are counted as ST snaps. Ford had 7 of 'em along with Feliciano. Ford also is logged as having 3 offensive snaps. Can't tell ya where or why, but the only OLman who didn't play 100% of the snaps was Morse, and he came out when Allen did. Linky? 'Cuz I never heard that. The presser I heard said "there were a variety of reasons" why he hasn't been playing.
  12. I have the impression that Bobby Johnson is one of those position coaches who is very much "My Way or The Highway" as far as the blocking techniques he wants the OLmen to use. I thought Feliciano was one of "his guys" brought in from Oakland to teach his blocking techniques (at least he's better than Vlad Ducasse) but when I looked it up, it turns out that Bobby Johnson was actually the TE coach while he was with Oakland. Anyway, my impression is that Feliciano and Boettger demonstrate his desired get-nose-to-nose, flat technique better in practice and the fact that they get smoked too often in games ....well...
  13. Maybe it's not 100% dumb since it got them in range for an ordinary pass play vs. a Hail Mary, but Dak needed to get down quicker and not go for every yard, and he needed to look for an official not set up to spike the ball with no official involved. McCarthy comes off as a dumbass if it's true the team has really been practicing that play every week, just like that. Dak comes off as a sore-losing dumbass.
  14. That would make no sense then. Dak just lost his game awareness and is blaming the official for his own lack of awareness, since the official "hit Dak from behind" trying to get to the ball and touch it and save Dak from a 10 second run-off that would end the game. Official coulda just stood back, let Dak spike it, and thrown the flag for the 5 yds and 10s penalty: Blogging the Boys:
  15. The QB draw? Designed play, definitely. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/the-cowboys-chaotic-final-play-can-be-blamed-on-everything-but-the-refs/ar-AASRqXa Word: Maybe McCarthy coached them to go ahead and snap and spike it and take some penalty for not letting the ref set the ball, that would put a few seconds on the clock? Does anyone know what such a penalty would be?
