Did someone say comp picks?

this is Joe Klopenstein-esque!

yeah, how can two guys in the route get jammed so badly that they fall down? That’s bad. edit: to be fair to Knox, that probably should have been illegal contact given where it was down the field.

i don’t know. I really don’t want a first time playcaller for an OC.

Didn’t realize this, but Davis Webb is the QB Coach in Denver. Looks like he is getting credit for developing Bo Nix, and may be a HC candidate down the road. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/no-davis-webb-isnt-a-head-coaching-candidate-yet

agree. Going to be like a 23-20 game.

Agreed. The only thing I associate Denver with is Chipotle.

At first, I thought I had heard of him. Then I realized the person I had heard of is Nick Bonino, who is an NHL player (and was a key part of the HBK line for the Penguins when they won the cup in 2016 and 2017).

i grew up in Rochester, and was a paper boy for the D&C. They had this newspaper boy day, where all the kids got to run the bases at Silver Stadium and get autographs. During one of those days, I got an autograph of this young unknown player named Curt Schilling! maybe this was just my experience, but growing up in Rochester when I did (80s), no one really followed the sabres. You’d go to a few amerks games, but that’s about it.

this is a fascinating stat. Also probably shows you how much more open the receivers get, with Lamar near the “top.” Interesting that Mahomes is also with him in terms of lowest percentages of being perfectly covered, which I think suggests that KC has better receiving talent than people think (and/or Reid schemes them open a lot).

Big Ben never defeated Brady. It’s the only reason he made it those super bowls. as long as you have a Mahomes or Brady in the way, every other team is going to have to scrape by to maybe get a one off SB appearance. Otherwise, it will be the chiefs there most every year. That’s just the reality of having a player like a Mahomes or Brady to deal with.

was just coming on here to post the same thing!!

Finally, we have someone here with some sense who is thinking ahead. The old post-gift curse is quite a common jinx. Thankfully, there is a reverse. there are two main ways to reverse it: 1) go back to canton, and leave the mug there. Do not break it. Simply leaving the mug on the grounds of the HOF will do the trick. This is probably inconvenient, but very effective. 2) less effective, you must not use the mug for its intended purpose (drinking), and you must keep it in a closed drawer during games. It is acceptable to bring it out on non-game days, but not for its intended purpose (eg, use as a pencil cup holder). keep us posted!

they needed to call up hardy last week! I thought for sure they would.

Even if he plays in the game, I have to think Surtain is going to blanket him anyway, and we likely won’t be looking his way much.

Amari Cooper’s “family” matter: Cooper: “so, I have to play in this game this week.” Mrs. Cooper: “Huh, the season is over?” Cooper: “it’s the playoffs.” Mrs. Cooper: “what is that? Playing in January? No, I don’t think so. You are watching the kids this weekend.”

I thought at first that it had to be a different Cody ford. It was the only plausible explanation. But then he injured his “chest” during the game and I knew, “that’s our Cody ford!!”

This reminds me of last year’s WC. I watched it on a plane on my phone. Thankfully the WiFi held up!!

looks like a great piece! Wish I didn’t have to subscribe to read the whole thing!!

Landing 15 minutes before game time? If I were you, I’d watch it in an airport restaurant or bar.

i hear you. But I am starting to wonder if this idea Of guys not being able to play outside is a bit overblown. Seems like Kupp and Pacua in LA look like quintessential slot guys, but they both play inside and out.

you can probably put this thread into the “what did you do to cause the bills to lose the Super Bowl?” Thread right now.

To think that the chargers got McConkey one pick after Coleman is very infuriating.

Very impressed with this Lions D. Totally shutting down these great Viking receivers. Darnold looking lost out there.
