  1. The amount of fear of Kansas City is a little over the top among a large portion of this fan base imo. Just two trades and one that really hasn't even been decided who "the winner" is yet. Even the first one we were able to parlay into T. White and Josh Allen.
  2. Shows how one play can define a legacy even if it's unfair. It's like the lasting image of Cam Newton not trying to recover the fumble in the Super Bowl.
  3. Did not know that Russ Brandon was now president of the UFL. No wonder things aren't going swimmingly. What's the leverage the players union have? You're going to have to find replacement players for already mediocre football players.
  4. Interesting later round LB prospect?
  5. This is going nowhere as we obviously value running backs and James Cook differently. No team would offer us a 2nd for Cook anyways given his contract demands so we'll pry have a year left with him. If Cook can prove himself to be an every down running back and not be a liability in pass protection than he'll deserve top RB money.
  6. Single season was obviously Paup as he won DPOTY in '95. It's hard to argue against Mario Williams though (43 sacks in 4 seasons).
  7. Giants didn't receive anything for Barkley because he was a free agent. Plus, Cook isn't Barkley. Trading Cook for a 2nd would be defendable if you know you're not going to re-sign him next year. If the Chiefs gave a RB $15m a year it would stop them from spending as much money on more premium positions so it would likely hurt them long term.
  8. A lot of good defenses? That 2013 defense was historic. First in yards allowed. First in points allowed. First in turnovers created. No defense had done all three since the '85 Bears. They held the best scoring offense of all time (the Mannng led Broncos) to 8 points in the Super Bowl. Lynch also wasn't even close to what Saquon Barkley did last year. He put up 1257 yards at 4.3 ypc. Barkley put up over 2000 yards at 5.8 ypc.. I think the Seahawks cruise to a Super Bowl with just an average back because of how historically good that defense was. Barkley was way more valuable to the Eagles than Lynch was to the Seahawks. Lynch a better case of being a seminal reason the next season where they lost the Super Bowl.
  9. Ouch. So many great movies. Hoosiers, Unforgiven, and The French Connection. Obviously. Also, was easily the best Lex Luthor. Favorite line. “Where are you going? I was going to make espresso.”
  10. Is it you really like Cook or feel burned by them in the past? Not exactly superstitious but snake bitten. Would you trade a 1st rounder for him with the Eagles?
  11. One reason we had a 17 year playoff drought is we were the only team that drafted three first round running backs over that period. The legion of boom is the reason the Seahawks won a Super Bowl. Not Marshawn Lynch.
  12. This is more of a social experiment as it's never going to happen.
  13. Andy Reid wants a known quantity at RB who's a dual threat. Even at $15m a year.
  14. Dolphins finally won something.
  15. I guess a lot of people have a problem giving Cook $15m a year but would be ticked off if the Chiefs paid him $15m a year even if we get their 2nd round pick.
  16. My idea. Rock, paper, scissors. If one team wins nine out of ten they get the onside kick conversion.
  17. Thought I'd get a good gauge on the Cook opinions and trading with the Chiefs opinions. They could use an upgrade at RB.
  18. It was kind of a boss move though when he gave Shakir $15m per year knowing that's exactly what Cook wanted. Pry coincidence but still.
  19. Didn't even know deals could get done anymore with their client unfollowing the team on social media.
  20. It takes two to tangle though. Not many of those players ever are available free agency.
  21. LOL. I like living in the cold more than the heat. I'd pry rather move to Winnipeg than California if given the choice.
  22. It's more the times of day. Those 9:30 games suck.
  23. They should just move most touchbacks to the 20. If it lands in the end zone and rolls out it's at the 20. If a player catches it and kneels in the end zone it's at the 20. Anything else (kicking it out of the end zone, having the ball roll into the end zone before kneeling it) it should be at the 35.
  24. Helps the Bills. One of the unintended consequences of moving the ball out to the 30 is teams scored more and it was more pronounced with better Quarterbacks. A lot of the 4th and 3 from the opponents 47 was an easier cal than a 4th and 3 from your own 48. I still don't like it though because I'm a curmudgeon who likes when extra points were 20 yards and kickoffs were kicked from 30 yards.
