of course I did— but that is not something I care to remember! (I just didn’t know/forgot how we parlayed the picks to get Allen).

My theory on the patriot way is that it only worked in New England really under perfect conditions. It required pretty quick And immediate success, which the pats got due to Brady. i think players can withstand and tolerate that type of coaching and atmosphere when there is a track record of success and a strong vet presence. What these patriots assistants are figuring out is that that type of authoritarian coaching environment doesn’t work in a rebuilding situation. It’s an almost impossible culture to create from scratch. They can’t then adjust, because this is the only way they know. Or by the time they do try to adjust and change, it’s too late. They have lost the team.

dumb question, but remind me why this led to us getting Allen?

None. Literally 0% success rate.

As others said, it was great the first two seasons, and the last Netflix season was just plain awful. Got away from its roots to create something more edgy. Also, as I recall, not a very satisfying ending to the series.

ha! Yeah, I was the same. It made sense; but I was thinking no way they would do it. We already seem to have a ton of bodies on the DL too.

haha— yeah, I guess everyone sort of did see it coming. but I didn’t think they would go through with it.

The well-reasoned answer you will get is that this is “real football.”

haha— that is really perfect.

what’s the oppose of an F5 button?

Old Coot has discovered the way back machine! @Old Coot

will be tough to reach Spiller. Chan left him out in space.

Wha???? Didn’t see this coming! Wow.

I hope they blitz a lot. but I think what BB will do is mix it up all game. That’s his best chance. Also, not really sure the jets blitzed a ton— did they?

I don’t know what the deal is with Beasley, but there is no way he should be starting over McKenzie this next game. McKenzie absolutely abused that NE third corner last game in ways that I don’t think Beasley could. I wouldn’t mess with that formula.

Agreed. Williams was horrendous in the Jax game. But he has really looked good at guard. He has even looked much better when forced to shift to tackle when Dawkins and Brown were out. i actually would be very comfortable going into next season with Dawkins and Brown at tackles and Williams at right guard. I think the big questions will be what they do at LG and even with Morse at center.

I really feel for Alabama. Will be hard to handle not winning back to back to back to back championships.

he seemed to have control of the ball to me. Even though the nose starts to come up, he is still throwing it.

What a joke. That was an incomplete pass by UGA. Then, the bama TE just shoved his defender to the ground to catch the TD? Give me a break.

he looked like Joe Montana against Michigan in the semis!

I love this Brad Allen crew— my absolute favorite. They make the game watchable.

I could be wrong about this, but I think when Davis was on Fox, he was a play by play guy for a few games here or there (maybe subbing). I always thought he was good in the role (has a nice voice). But as a color commentator, he is not very insightful, and I find him to be slanted.

i get that. But I would be interested to hear what is appealing about the HC to some of these coordinators (not just Daboll). Seems like it would be more fun to be an OC on an elite offensive team than basically the CEO of a team in turmoil.

To me, the job Daboll currently has probably can’t be beat. He seems to have total control over the offense, calls his plays, stable front office and head coach, stud QB, and lives in his home town and coaching for his home town team. That’s a lot to give up. And the position you are going to get won’t let you do the things you probably love the most— eg, call the plays and develop offensive gameplans.

I wonder if there are any coordinators out there that just say, “no thanks— I love being a coordinator and am great at it, and don’t want to give that up.” It’s sort of what McDaniels has done recently.
