It seems like Herbert is the guy who will always come up just short
-
Browns own the Bengals. It's weird
-
I hate to see anything good happen for Watson and the Browns
-
Watch the elbow!
-
Purdy is such a cool story, especially because he's in the NFC
-
Bryce Young has made a few nice tight window throws. He looks so small though...
-
Browns always seem to beat the Bengals
-
Purdy might be good

I go back and forth, but the more I think about the draft the more I see it is one event, not so much the rounds. In other words, there's a few hundred college players. You take turns picking (and make trades). At the end, you want the best bunch possible, however that happens. If the 5th, 6th, and 7th round guys are great but your 1st and 2nd aren't, who really cares? You want a few impact guys. Of course, the idea is that a different guy picked 1st AND those 5th, 6th, and 7th guys still being good is better, but you just want good players. There are too many factors that affect a players' success to expect more than a certain success rate in the draft.

Will the opener be blacked out by Spectrum and espy
TheFunPolice replied to Liberal Bob's topic in The Stadium Wall
That sounds cool, and probably also a great choice for people in more rural areas who can't get cable for internet. A bunch of years ago when we were buying a house there were several places where it was slow as molasses satellite internet or nothing... glad times have changed! -
I don't see Rodgers getting 400 yards. He is efficient, has a great TD/INT ratio a lot of times, buy doesn't pile up yardage the way some guys do. Last year Brady was awful and had a losing record. End of the 3rd quarter he has like 120 yards passing. Then after the game you look and he ended up with like 390 yards passing and the Bucs lost 19-13 or something.

What's amazing to me is how mediocre to poor the Chiefs WR are. this year. It's basically Kelsey and a bunch of practice squad level guys.

Wow, I had no idea it was that fast! What about using it as a primary method of obtaining broadband for streaming though? If you're out in the country and use it for Netflix, for example, are there data caps to deal with? I would assume, perhaps wrongly, that the cable company advantage is that nobody worries about how much data is being used vs. using 5G. -

Many people have said that Spectrum is telling people who call to switch to a streaming service, which I think is an interesting window into the future. IMO this is the future of cable. They know that in order to stream you need a fast internet connection, and for the vast majority of people that means using cable. There isn't going to be real competition in this area in terms of wires/cables due to the enormous cost. Cable is already there in most cities, towns and villages. Someone new coming in would have to invest billions to get up and running, and it's not worth it most of the time. There are little pockets here and there of fiber optic, but that's way too expensive to ever take over. So, if you're the cable company, simply switch your business model. Your cables are installed in every American city, town and village, and even some rural areas. So just become a broadband provider and up the cost of that product while cutting ties with all the networks that hold you up every couple of years with carriage disputes. You can massively downsize your company in terms of workforce, focus on broadband, a product you control completely and is necessary for any streaming to work. Starlink could shake things up, but we'll see. The speed needs to work well for streaming. -
Toney cannot catch

Goff throws a 2 yard pass like Favre trying to thread the needle

Andy Reid is a legitimate GOAT candidate as HC

Go Lions! I love how they have a give zero cares attitude and just roll

silly question maybe, but who decides on the weekly uniform combos? Is it Beane or McDermott? Pegula? Someone in PR/marketing? I like the combo, just curious.

Pat McAfee did an entire segment on how Burrow's playoff stats are almost identical to Kirk Cousins playoff stats. Burrow is great no doubt, but his playoff success has everything to do with the fact that the Bengals play a physical, tough style of football that is a matchup nightmare for the Bills and Chiefs. In fact, last playoff run the Ravens with their backup QB pretty much dominated the game until Huntley fumbled the game away at the 2 yard line with the game tied in the 4th quarter. Ravens score 7 there and it's lights out for Joe Cool and company and the Ravens advance. But that's how narratives are written. Burrow has the "it factor" because the Ravens backup QB fumbled the ball at the Bengals 2 yard line and it was returned for a TD. All game the Ravens defense basically shut him and the Bengals offense down. Chiefs and Bills have never really had a game like that where they shut the Bengals down, because the Ravens are a tough as nails team that will stop the run and can run the ball themselves. Bills and Chiefs are high flying teams that score a lot of points and rely on that to beat you.

Hit a home run on the QB pick and you're a winner and a great GM. It's not really that simple but it's that simple.
