I hate when a 'flat' offense scores 27 points.

I'll hold off and see if he has as many problems with the rookie QB he picks in the draft.

Even they have had a couple games where they looked extremely shaky. This idea that winning without perfection is something to lose your sh*t over is silly. Winning is all that counts. You can be concerned about things, but you've people on this board advocating for firing McDermott/Beane which is either trolling or criminal stupidity.

Doesn't matter, he's just trying to get a reaction.

Who are these teams that are winning 'pretty'? Maybe the Chiefs?

While the double standard for the league bending over backwards for the Titans and Ravens is some BS... Isn't Denver somewhat culpable for not having the foresight to have an isolated QB?

"The portrait on his 2012 Topps card was unmistakable. The angst on his face, the sorrow in his eyes, the gnawing of his lower lip. Johnson’s picture was snapped between the drop and the tweet." ~ Timmah

Beane was also working for an NFL team that passed on Tom Brady

I'll let the Jets GM answer this for me:

because the fallacy that the guy you don't see playing is always better may not actually be true...or the one that NFL coaches won't play the better players because of strange, murky "reasons"

Gase was promised safety this year and will be back next season. I'd bet a dollar on it.

Your talents are wasted here. You should get a job with the national enquirer.

Lee Smith is alive. That is my favorite Lee Smith fact.

without the fleshy appendage, my uncle is my aunt.

Improving the running game is the currently the best way they can improve the passing game. You want to stop these teams from dropping so many people in coverage and getting more 1on1s then...run the ball.. teams not worrying about the run at all is currently the most difficult obstacle the passing games faces.

Is Darnold still a 'starter'? It's a very convenient injury for all involved.

Watson trying to will his team to victory again

That's kind of the opposite of 'standard' then. An 'abnormal' performance that "no one can ever live up to" wouldn't be standard.

I love Frank Reich. I think he's a really solid coach. Glad they got the win. Still think Rivers is an ***hole though.

Something I didn't notice was a smart "non-play" by Boettger. He was on the wrong side of brown going down field and two defenders are coming in. He doesn't try to get a hand on those guys that was likely to not slow them down and had a good probability of ending up with him getting a penalty trying to make a play. A lot of guys might hero in that situation, but you can actually see him think about it and then just put his arm around Brown and opts to let Brown run. Looked more like a common thing done by players to let the guy know you're there. Didn't seem to have any force on it at all.

That you thought he was multiple people kinda testifies to that.

I don't watch the halftime show! I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY PICKED A MUSICIAN I DON'T LIKE FOR THE HALFTIME SHOW I DON'T WATCH!

So when I said that I thought Jackson lacked the focus to be consistently great year after year and struck me as a guy who would have an MVP year then read his own press clippings and maybe not work as hard, I wasn't insane? Strange, because so many on here told me I was was...

It tends to annoy me when it's extreme in either direction because real questions don't get asked. There's a thread here about the Davis non-TD.. ask him if he was in, ask McDermott why he didn't challenge. Deep dive into how the Bills handle the replay challenge. There's a lot of football related things to talk about and people who write words about sports seem to often have a hard time not going for the soft questions whether it's about somebody's recipe for apple pie or the "Do you think you'll be fired?" type of stuff that's never going to get an interesting answer about football.
