Mr. WEO

If you watched that game, you would hardly have to ask this question...

Who did Dorsey replace with that promotion?

That's nice. He's not calling plays. We've all watched Daboll call plays, doesn't (really) make us OC's lol

It's always fun to drop an upperdecker in the Jerry Jones throne room, but the guy has put together the a roster that is the #1 Offense in points and yards, #7 D in points allowed, solid O-line, weapons at WR, RB... He's fielded a roster that should be deep into the playoffs. But his QB is a choker and his HC's are simply awful. No discipline. Bad play calling at the worst times. He has to fire McCarthy and the doofus child OC. Problem is there is no reason to believe he will hire anyone more competent.

What if Beane doesn't think Dorsey would make a good OC? I still don't get why posters assume Dorsey would be adequate.

there was no vaccine "to begin with"

My guess is the vacuum cleaner won't press charges.

It wouldn't take more than a soybean to beat Matty Ice. Bum...

This will endanger the merger....

He's the Asst. GM. I think they will be OK without the Asst. GM this weekend. Unless he's bringing Beane with him, I don't see a way out for the Gunts.

Gutless Harbaugh

They hired then fired a QB coach. They now might hire a better QB to BE coach. Might as well just start picking fans out of the stands for 1 game contracts.

Because he's a backup QB...

Was Watson first consulted?

Google says roughly 50% (39% since 1999). That doesn't matter for this discussion because the 98.9% is the number based on the accuracy of ALL plays--which would include incorrect calls that were reversed. In other words the reviewers would have counted that as an incorrect call as well.

What do all of the other teams without a Josh Allen, Mahomes, Herbert, Burrow do now? Their QBs (outside of Brady, Rodgers) are "never going to be where these young guy's are". Nobody here never saw NE challenging for the Div title with the Bills or winning 10 games ands making the playoffs with this guy. Now that they did, many are saying that the kid didn't live up to expectations. Typical. His better comp obviously a young Brady--a 3rd string QB suddenly starting on a team that then went on a very improbable SB run. The next year, they didn't even make the playoffs. Did BB dump his mediocre armed game manager QB? Nope. If he really looked bad, like, say Trevor Lawrence or Zach Wilson, then yeah I could see BB thinking it was a huge mistake.

bones your crack

How was he going to beat out then guy who was in 2018 the best QB in the SEC and who threw for 4000 yards and 43 TDs? Why does he have to be in that group? He's clearly not. There might not be for another few years. So what?

Titans fans? I assumed all their season ticket holders were speculators.

You said I thought NFL reffing was A+ (even highlighted the sentence I was disputing). You said they were calling the game unfairly--this can only mean they are favoring one team over another. Otherwise they are honest errors, not "unfair". I can't describe all of this in simpler terms. But you are entitled to believe otherwise of course. I was showing why that belief made no sense. I disagree with people who say the Earth is flat too.... Cheers!

No, I didn't say that either (nice try though!)-- it's not me who is "framing it" the way I discussed--it's the way the process works. Try to stay on point. If you are counting the plays where (you "see") a penalty is NOT called, then logic tells you that you have to include all plays to identify all those as well. So.......you have to include all plays. Let's say I believe you and "you see" 1000 blown/missed calls a year (which of course is ridiculous, but for argument's sake) . That leaves an accuracy rate 97.5% Money can't change that margin. You've given no cogent argument otherwise, except to insinuate guys are on the take and calling games "unfairly". That belongs in the ref/conspiracy threads.

wtf

I see nothing to dispute this 99%. Think of how many plays there are every game and every single play is reviewed. A call not made also counts. Clean plays without a call also count. Assume about 150 plays per game on average for 17 weeks for 32 teams. That's 40,800 plays this season. 3109 penalties were called. If every single penalty that was called was an error, the error rate would be only 7.6%. If 1000 bad calls (1 out of every 3!!) were made in such a season than that's still 92.4% accuracy. Obviously this doesn't include missed calls but you get the idea of how many calls made would have to be wrong to even make a dent in the overall accuracy listed (99%). That's 400+ bad calls/errors a season or 1-2 per game. Double it to 800 bad calls a year and that's still 98% accuracy. Triple it...you get the point. So you are suggesting a remedy for a problem affecting tiny fraction of plays that would not conceivably alter the outcome anyway. Docking pay would have zero effect on honest ref's work product. It can't get to 100% accuracy from 98 or 99%. let it go...

Plenty of lesser arms in the NFL. Tannehill is a great example. He's QB of the #1 seed. He's always been a mediocrity, but on a good team....there he is. Matt Ryan has passed a million yards with very mediocre arm strength. Brees had a great career and won a SB with a not-live arm. None of these posters claiming Jones didn't exceed expectations can point to a week one post where they stated he would be a top half QB who would lead NE to the playoffs---and challenge the Bills for the Division to the end of the season. Sure, this may be his career peak. But after what by any account (despite the BS above) was a much better season than predicted, it's hard to credibly say BB should be done with the guy now, as some are saying.

hot take alert!!!
