  1. someday, a company is going to offer a service where you pay 1 fee and have all of these channels all in one convenient place, so you don't need multiple services or apps! revolutionize TV!
  2. if he wants to go there he could just go there though, and not cost his new team draft capital, which they probably need since they just fired their coach Kraft owes him a simple release. Why would Bill want his new team to be without a 1st (never would happen anyway) or a 2nd round pick? Once you start getting to 4th and 5th rounders, is it really worth playing games with the career of your franchise's greatest HC?
  3. Yet another reason I say Andy Reid is the ACTUAL GOAT HC 182-120 record without Mahomes, including a 11 playoff wins (with 13 losses) and a SB appearance which he lost to NE and Brady Those 182 wins before he had Mahomes would put Andy Reid in the top 10 all-time in HC wins. That's before he ever even coached Mahomes. Then you add Reid's coaching tree: Sean McDermott John Harbaugh (SB winner) Doug Pederson (SB winner) Ron Rivera Todd Bowles Leslie Frazier Steve Spagnolo (SB winning DC who shut down Brady twice in the big game with NJ) Some pretty good names there. Belichick's is awful. Bill is a great coach, and will be known as the GOAT unless Reid and Mahomes win a couple more. IF Reid sticks around long enough and they do win 4 or 5, then Reid is also probably right there on the all-time wins list as well at #1. Then it's a serious discussion.
  4. "we don't even hear what the media says"
  5. Belichick has literally zero incentive to go along with being traded, and I think that's the strategy you see him employing now. He's a Patriot, working for the team ,etc. Want him gone? You have to fire him so he's free. Trying to screw around and do the whole "well, we want you gone but also want to control where you can go" game is bush league, especially when it's a coach like Bill.
  6. Dallas is perfect for Belichick. Easier conference. Easier division. Stacked team. Also perfect for Jerry Jones. Short term. Big name. Get over the hump maybe.
  7. Chargers situation has to be the best. QB WR DE Plus some other nice players. But you have a QB to work with, so a lot of the other stuff works out. Division is kind of tough but each year is its own story and Denver is about to have no QB
  8. I'm as mad as anyone... and I'm looking into how to get set up for the game. NFL knows we will pay. the pandemic taught companies that people will pay a lot more than companies thought they would for stuff they really want.
  9. by the end of the game he could barely run and had to take himself out.. maybe the shot wore off? same thing Hill did with KC. Every snap was basically a 40 yard dash but eventually it took its toll on him and he became less effective toward the end of the year.
  10. it's incredible to me the amount of $$ to be made on one game, although I would imagine that the price for subsequent games would not be as high on a per game basis. But who knows
  11. When Dallas chokes against Green Bay he's out and Jerry will go after Belichick as soon as he's cut loose.
  12. If you live out in the country where "high speed broadband!" ads are taped to telephone poles you're SOL. Ask me how I know! LOL I swear my old dial up was faster than what we have at the cabin. Luckily it's just a cabin (and the #1 reason we chose to buy our house in a populated area). We need good internet for work.
  13. the NFL got $110 million just for this one Peacock game. Roughly 1/9 of a billion dollars to stream 3 hours of content one time. That's incredible. There will be more exclusives next season, but luckily there's only so many choices as the broadcast partners are locked in. There will be more Peacock exclusives (many 2 regular season and 1 playoff) and probably an ESPN+
  14. I thought that too... guy was in a boot this week in his house fire photo

AFC Ravens Bills Browns KC Texans Dolphins Steelers Predictions for this week: Bills over Steelers Dolphins over KC Browns over Texans NFC 49ers Cowboys Packers Lions Rams Eagles Bucs Predictions for this week: Lions over Rams Eagles over Bucs Packers over Cowboys (and McCarthy fired post game)
  16. McDaniel had a really nice plan on offense to run the ball with those wide runs to keep the defense off balance. McDermott must have made some sort of adjustment that took that away and that was essentially their run game so they became one dimensional. The Shanahan tree/system is impressive and wins a lot of games, but from what I've read there are relatively few plays in the game plan, so if you can catch on before they get up multiple scores on you it's also quite stop able. The Shanahan plan is get up multiple scores and then just lean on you. It also cost him twice in the Super Bowl (Atlanta/NE and SF/KC) when the other teams caught on early enough and they didn't have the talent advantage to just win anyway. Also, I think Hill's ankle got worse and worse as the game went on. Dolphins are a lot like the 49ers in that they had a Pro Bowl roster and were just too fast to cover. But then guys start getting hurt and the delta between them and every other offense gets smaller. Tua is still Tua, but he doesn't add much, just like Purdy. Then DC's catch onto some of what you're doing and adjust. IMO, that's why "injuries cost us a Super Bowl" is the mantra of a Shanahan system
  17. You saw it last night... Hill's ankle is busted up and Waddle couldn't even play. With Waddle out Miami is a dangerous offense, but not impossible to defend or anything. With Waddle out and Hill not 100% they are just another team. When Tua takes the snap and throws within 2 seconds down the seam it doesn't work without both of them in there near full strength. With both 100% and on a nice warm, clean field with a healthy supporting cast and little to no film on their offense they are close to impossible to stop, but that doesn't last long. Take snap, close eyes, throw to predetermined spot to a track star who is wide open by 5 yards and then does a RAC for an extra 10-30 yards. run a few plays then float a moonball to a wide open WR who has his defender beat by 10 yards. That all depends on speed being there in multiple places.
  18. Be on the lookout in Dallas if they disappoint again in the playoffs: https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/asked-about-mike-mccarthys-future-jerry-jones-says-well-see-how-each-game-goes-in-postseason If Green Bay wins there this weekend, which isn't crazy, I put it at 50/50 at least that they fire Big Mike.
  19. I hope Tua holds out this offseason for a contract. How come everyone else has a new deal but he is expected/ok with playing for relative peanuts? Time to PAY THE MAN who led the Dolphins to the playoffs 2 years in a row, QB'ed the league's top offense, and was in the running for M V P!! I say give him Burrow's deal, plus 10% I can't wait until the Dolphins have to pay the piper. Having a QB on a rookie deal and surrounding him with a Pro Bowl roster only lasts so long, and if it didn't work by now what is it going to look like when they have to let guys go to get under the cap? Hill is getting older and is beat up near the end of every season. They will need to pay Waddle too.
  20. League wide the play is no longer an automatic 1st down, although it's still very successful. We failed to convert on it twice last night. So at the end of the day, it's like a QB sneak that almost always works but not always. Best way to defend it? Don't get into 3rd or 4th and less than a yard on defense.
  21. If the Patriots want to move on from Belichick they should just cut the man loose so he can decide his own fate. After 6 SB titles, he deserves that, as Brady did. Don't jerk him around and try to trade him so you can "get something for him." You got 6 rings and 9 trips to the SB.
  22. Josh's jump/surf move takes his size and strength out of the equation and probably limits the effectiveness of the play. Once he's on some guys back he's nowhere near the same threat to push forward and much easier to stop.
  23. Serious question, why not use a 340+ pound lineman to sneak it, with another guy the same size as the pusher?
  24. me included, and we'll all sign up for Peacock to see it and a decent percentage will never bother to cancel. Speaking of which, how hard is it to cancel? Most services create barriers like needing to call and speak to a rep, who will give you the run around and beg you to stay on. A not insignificant number of people avoid conflict/unpleasant phone calls so they just tell themselves "I'll cancel next month" and keep getting charged. We went to my brother's house out of town for the holidays and when it came to the Bills/Chargers game he didn't think he had Peacock but when he tried it on his Roku device it turns out he was a subscriber! LOL Case in point. Must have signed up a while ago and just forgot (and was paying this whole time).
  25. I bet he's already scoping out places to live in WNY. He basically said yesterday that he looks forward to going back to being a DC
