Concepts and film study for me and they go together. There is SO much more information now than there was even 5 years ago. Basically, teams can “scheme themself safe.” There used to be a lot more situations where the “best man won.” Now teams do lots of creative things to try to avoid the “best man.”

Thanks and see you there!!

Do I need a parking pass for this lot or is it 1st come 1st serve? It’s different than where we were last year correct?

I very rarely work. I put in a solid 15 hours or so a week and make sure to do so around Bills games/discussion

It’s funny to talk about this today because we were talking about it at lunch yesterday. My dad’s buddy had an interesting thought at lunch yesterday. He suggested letting the PS guys dress for week 17 and give them an NFL game check. It would be good exposure and money for them. It protects the team and allows more guys the week off.

@Nihilarian shocked to see this?

They have always closed the street for the party but it will be WAY more people than the last few times. I try to swing by those parties for an hour catch the atmosphere and then go get dinner and drinks. It’s just so crowded.

I guess my point is that you base it on one thing or another. Montana is largely on the list from his winning. Marino is largely on their from his record passing numbers. Brees holds pretty much every relevant passing record and will do so by a WIDE margin when he’s done. That’s where the era factors in. He’s going to finish miles ahead of everyone but Brady and I would guess that margin is pretty wide when things are done. We can say he played in this “passing era” but his numbers will dwarf Peyton, Rodgers and others that were considered great at the same time. You can’t ding him for not winning like you can Marino. He has a Super Bowl MVP and the worst call in history may have prevented his 2nd. He may still get another one or 2. Brees belongs above Marino, Favre and Elway in terms of modern players. Brady, Manning and Montana I have no issue with. The older guys I didn’t see so it’s tough for me to comment. It seems like a lot of older fans take major issue with Staubach.

agree 1000%!! Josh is better when he gets hit early in big games. He comes out so fired up it’s best to calm him a little into the flow of the game.

The point with Brees over Marino is that it’s either stats or Super Bowls. Brees has both on Marino. He racked up stats like Marino did but also has a Super Bowl MVP and should have been in the bowl again last year. He may go again this year. He is going to have every box checked in a comparison.

The Rams gave up Peters and 2 1sts to get Jalen Ramsey and a pick. That’s a TERRIBLE move for the Rams. Tre will be the highest paid CB in the game when he signs his extension. Xavien Howard got 5 for just over $75M with $27M guaranteed. Tre is probably looking at 5 years, $80M with $30M guaranteed. He’s a steal at those numbers.

Welp, it’s a war

Whoever hires Joe Brady should feel great. I’d hire him yesterday. He ran Sean Payton’s passing game and now this LSU offense. He’s super young. Brady is a rising star.

OU isn’t a top 10 team. They deserved a spot but stink. They are WAY closer to the 25th best team in the country than the 1st. It’s Clemson, the Big 10, the SEC and everyone else.

I tried to convince my brother to lay 40 points. He got nervous and took it at 13.

No offense to the people yelling for Kelly but he’s not in the conversation. He wasn’t even a finalist and that’s not crazy. He’s a top 20-30 all-time QB. He’s not a top 10 guy.

Yeah, the story goes that he had a dugout suite and those suites share a bathroom with the suite next to them (basically 2 suites have a common room where the bathrooms are). Marrone’s suite was one of them and the injured Packers were in the other. If I remember correctly there was some trash talk at some point and the Bills won the game. She mooned the suite next to them late in the game. Someone here told the story. I don’t know if it’s true or not but based on stories I heard about St. Doug I wouldn’t be surprised.

I’m sure that the players will be devastated. Do we remember the story of when his wife mooned the injured Packers players? Can someone find that in the archives? I’m not good at searching.

I agree on Young as well. I’m really surprised so many people on the internet were making a case for him. Even still, Brees has more 5,000 yard passing seasons than every other QB in history combined. Michael Thomas is the 1st pro bowl WR that he has had in New Orleans (obviously he had Jimmy Graham for a period). Brees’ dominance stacks up with anyone.

I’d be interested in that Young guy in the 4th. I’d even consider a 3rd if other needs are addressed in free agency. To your larger point though I really enjoy the discussion in the college football forum. That has some of the best discussions on the board. With so many different fan bases represented you get a good sense of prospects that are overrated/underrated and not even on your radar. It’s just a lot of perspectives which we don’t get on the main board. You get the same sense for teams. I watch a lot of college football (a lot more than NFL) and have opinions but they are from 50,000 feet often. I’m always interested to hear from those much closer on certain guys/teams. This holds especially true when it comes to the PAC and others out west. I just don’t see a lot of those teams/players.

I agree with you Hap. That’s where those threads live all year long until the start of the offseason.

I’d love to hear the argument for Marino over Brees. Brees basically broke every record that he had (and will end up being a wide margin). Marino went to a Super Bowl. Brees won a Super Bowl MVP. Without the worst “no-call” in NFL history (literally) Brees would have played for (and won IMO) his second Super Bowl. He may very well go again this year. If your argument is “stats don’t matter” please feel free to make the case for Marino.

Brees not being on there is a travesty!! Below is a glimpse at his resume (which isn’t nearly finished).
