Really be better if we win.

Well, it would be weird to have someone else's quarterback leading our team, so I went with Allen.

I wonder if Vegas will notice, and adjust the point spread?

I was commenting more on the brutally long prison terms. A joint used to get you ten years in Nevada.

He means the refs weren't intentionally screwing up.

This is confusing to me. Are you saying the Phins are planning on bumping up QB coach to OC, in order to keep him from going to the Pats*?

If Daboll does go, I wonder what the story was with Chad O'Shea in Miami? I watched about half of their games this season on Game Pass, and thought that their play calling was pretty decent for having possibly the worst roster in the league.

For anyone following this thread who needs some clarification on precisely what each zebra is up to, here's a swell website that outlines the officiating team quite neatly. Plus, there are some cute little duckies on the header. Cheers! https://www.ducksters.com/sports/football/officials_referees.php

I believe that when you go down the depth chart, special teams becomes the priority.

McKensie's all of 165 pounds. I would assume that Foster has earned his spot on ST. Why else would he be active?

I have in another thread, and I have read another call him "useless," and others clearly not understand his role, and/or value in this offense.

One thing that I have noticed about Foster is that on kick offs, and punts, he is usually the first player down to the ball. And, he has many times been the one to make the tackle. They use his speed on ST as a gunner, and I doubt they are going to be willing to give that up.

This seems like a thread started as a rhetorical question.

If anyone has any question as to how much the coaching staff respects McKensie's skills and value, understand that along with all the gadget plays they use him for (far beyond just jet sweeps), when they are down a P/KR, they go with McKensie. When they want a third RB option, they go with McKensie. And on Sunday, when they were suddenly depleted of CBs, they went with McKensie. I want Duke out there as much as anybody. But, anyone thinking that he will supplant McKensie, or that McKensie is "useless," is not paying attention.

In one regard, this might actually benefit him. Nevada has a long history of being hardcore anti-drug. I would assume it's a lot easier to get illegal drugs in Oakland, CA than in LV. Now, booze and hookers, on the other hand...

A lot of hay has been made today about how Yeldon needs to be active. I would like to point out that Yeldon averaged 2.6 YPC on seven carries for 18 yards. Gore averaged 4.3 YPC for 26 yards on six carries, and Gore did all his work up the middle. Motor is the clear starter. Who is Yeldon meant to supplant?

Murphy is straight up slow.

I don't think Yeldon offers us anything different than Motor. He's not a downhill runner. You might have noticed that Gore has had a pretty good game, as well.

Living up to your reputation, I see.

He seems to make about one decent play per game.

These refs are terrible.

I've never been down with the whole "ref conspiracy theory" thing. It would be RICO territory, for crying out loud. And, even if there were a corrupt ref thing going on, I don't know why they'd be favoring the Jets in a game like this. But, for the life of me, I can't figure out how they could have missed that facemark on McK.

Long has been listed as a backup center all season, and was until recently listed as our #2 center, even though I don't believe he has delivered a snap all season. In fact, he played center for the Jets, albeit poorly. Morse got dinged last week, and I'm sure you'd agree that our line is better with both Morse, and Feliciano on it.

Make the following inactive: Smoke Beasley Motor Shaq White Lorax Morse Play Allen for a series, or two. Don't play Jordan Phillips much, if at all. Let Perry and TJ run the ball 60%. We'll probably still beat the bums.

Very scientific. There's no arguing with this-- they use metrics. You're in denial. Stop arguing with hard science. You are miserable with a "miserable index" of 27.24.
