  1. I think Tom might be talking as a broadcaster that’s trying for attention and not as a player giving true insight but who knows
  2. it’s all relative and his replacement is not fast
  3. how has he proven to figure out his post season failures between August and early December of this season? if you ask me to predict how we lose in January - it’s not Josh that I’m guessing. hopefully he proves that wrong. I think having our two new coordinators will help out.
  4. im not a doctor, I haven’t seen his records and it’s not my career. if he’s cleared and he’s made the decision - more power to him. unfortunately any given game we watch a dozen guys that will struggle mightily later because they provide us entertainment now. All we can do is wish them the best if we aren’t going to walk away from watching. Its a dangerous game.
  5. I think there is a balance and I do buy arguments that it’s a tough spot for a defender when you ask them to hit a qb at the belt buckle and then tell the qb to slide so his head is in the center of that zone I’m really struggling to see this issue here though. it was a solid 5 yard gap and the defender was not traveling head on at full speed. 15 feet is across the room you are sitting in reading this - two guys full speed head to head, maybe on the edge. Not the case here. Additionally he used his braced arm to hit him in the face - not a natural movement for a defender if tackling an upright player or if avoiding the sliding player. It was textbook inflicting pain on the guys head.
  6. could also be the past history, the ensuing fight and the follow up fighting after he was ejected all contributing too
  7. you know, call me crazy but I think that a dirty on field play should be a stiffer punishment than poor behavior in the offseason you know, integrity of the game and safety of coworkers being more important than being role models when deciding who needs to be taken off the field?
  8. yup. Ultimately, he was kind of part of a group of mid tier guys thrown at holes that on paper they could but were maybe not likely to fill. He outplayed his deal and 2 other vets were cut mid season as a strategy, this year we don’t save much with money wasted on MVS and Mike Edwards but next year we will be a little ahead. That we had him in house makes sense he had a better shot
  9. I mean, I agree he will get a bit knocked off but I think you might be swinging too far the other way with the waited until the last second to slide narrative. If you have to have a 10 yard buffer to slide it’s a meaningless rule
  10. 4 yards per carry vs 7 yards per pass and a whole lot more scoring, right?
  11. It will take the run game being a more effective way to win nfl games for us to prioritize it
  12. Could just be dumb luck (good and bad) with a guy that’s always been boom or bust and very inconsistent
  13. yea, the dude gronked a player with his brace to the chin of a defenseless player who had given himself up. Both a different era but also a legitimately very dirty hit in any era.
  14. Aaron jones with 4 fumbles in 2.5 games is frustrating for vikes fans I bet
  15. not really touched on the play - maybe the play prior? had that type of weird half running gait to him though edit: now confirmed cleared but still on the sideline
  16. is najee out with a hangover? that was super weird to essentially jog to the sideline and kneel and then is just getting air on the bench, no other treatment?
  17. counter: Friday night before the season CmC was full go. sooooo even now I think Purdue is likely but wouldn’t bet my life savings on it or anything
  18. for sure but that’s still a pretty solid feat to get to realistically probably more of an 8-4 team which is not a slouch
  19. why would trubisky do anything special?
  20. we did it for the pats for a decade. Bad teams blow these games, and good teams don’t. its mostly the gap between good and bad teams
  21. all risk with a bad qb, no number 1 wr, etc… asking for trouble and the upside is what? A 5 yard gain?
  22. I think it’s silly to pretend Josh wouldn’t be incredibly proud of himself in the accomplishment even if his public facing commentary needs to be humbled and focused on one week at a time. while I think it would be a cool thing, it would be just out of this world for Josh himself
  23. the chargers coming to Buffalo would be a nice jump in home field advantage compared to Baltimore.
  24. Rooting for any game to be entertaining what a weak week
  25. No one wants to be on the hook for injury guarantees once eliminated. I wonder if we see the commentary we did about that with DangeRuss being benched last year for the same reason.
