  1. Watt took a knee to the crown jewels
  2. Yeah as soon as I wrote that he tossed a couple of stinkers
  3. AFC title game could be Bills Bengals
  4. Giants just ran a QB sneak on 3rd and long Joe Judge has to be out
  5. Good chance of it happening. Bengals are sitting everyone pretty much.
  6. Every time I see the Texans on RedZone I'm surprised at how tough they play
  7. Lol.... Sarcasm doesn't translate well. Yes we all (sadly) remember that super bowl. Probably my least favorite football game of all time.
  8. Some team might claim him just to deny his ability to play in the playoffs
  9. The Chicago Bears currently have a smaller stadium than the Bills.
  10. I watched the whole video of him on the sports podcast that was posted above. It's about an hour. What a tool... LOL Pretty much buried Brady and mentioned that Big Ben treated him like a #1 WR and threw him the ball whereas he was a bench player for Brady. I can't imagine dealing with this trainwreck every day.
  11. I'd be all for it! A guy who "only gets sacks" would be nice!
  12. Just thinking back to Thurman's career... A guy who could dominate as a RB, slot WR, and blocker. Imagine what the Thurmanator would do in today's game? THAT player is worthy of #2 overall. True, but that was because of injury concerns. But I get what you're saying! IF I knew I was getting Thurman's career he is 100% worth #1 overall, IMO anyway.
  13. Well, he does have a point about analytics I think. There's this idea that whatever the formula says is always correct. Going for it on 4th down every time it's short yardage can also get you beat (see the Chargers this year). Circumstances matter. Plus the analytic spreadsheet people are insufferable lately. Josh Allen is still a bust to them, because their pivot table in Excel says so. Analytics area great tool but the idea that they are the be all and end all of coaching just doesn't work when you're dealing with human beings. Jets Bucs game is a great example last week. Brady gets to within 4 late, but then the Jets drive the ball all the way down the field to inside the Bucs 10, which was a surprise given how they had gone 3 and out a bunch. So the Jets are feeling great. Then it gets down to 4th and short. Analytics says go for it. And you're the Jets, so why not? It's not like the game really meant anything either way, other than the W. But nobody's playoff position changes and the Jets are dead in the water anyway. However, I would argue that you kick the FG there and go up 7, putting ALL the pressure on Brady. Worst case scenario he goes all the way down the field and ties you. Once you miss the 4th down and Tampa players are jumping all over the field celebrating there's a feeling of "here we go" that comes with being human that the spreadsheet doesn't and cannot account for. Brady has said it multiple times: he looks at it as he already lost, but now he suddenly has a chance to win. Thus, ZFG. The Jets had already won, but now they have a chance to lose. We saw how it went. You play totally different in those cases. That game was 100% going to end the way it did as soon as they missed the 4th down. Even though the "odds" of Brady taking them 93 yards in under 2:00 with no timeouts were supposedly low, we all knew they were close to 100%.
