You want to hear something irrational? I HATE Tom Brady's shoes. The way he wraps the tape around the back so only half of the color shows. I don't know why, I just hate it

It really grinds my nuts when the receivers drop passes

There was a point earlier in the season where I was worried about Allen as he didn't seem to be getting it at all. Since he came back from injury I've become more and more confident in him. Still has a way to go but I think with an extra off season of work, plus a revamped offense around him he could be ***** deadly next season!

I was much more impressed with Foster this week. The big catches are great, but this week he just sort of got his yardage here and there, and built it up gradually. When they showed his yardage on the screen I was really surprised he had so much

I agree. My main interest has been Allen for weeks now. He has a LONG way to go but I love how he's come along this year. He's matured a lot in such a short time, and you know he'll work his ass off in the offseason to get even better for next year. I really think with some new offensive weapons around him and another off season to work on his game, he'll be much much better next year and will have some monster games.

I used to be a big believer in defense wins championships, but the way the NFL is now, that's history. I'd draft offense all the way. Doesn't matter if you give up points, just score a ***** load yourself and you'll win plenty of games.

Wowsers, I'm starting to feel so much better about next season. Get some better O linemen, a couple game breaking WRs, a new TE and we could be real good

Darnold has such a square head, he looks like a Logo man

I really like Allen's evolution this year. Ever since he came back from his injury he's looked like a different player. The game has definitely slowed down for him

Wow, I thought marrone would never take hacket's tool out of his mouth. I always wanted marrone to remain our coach but to get rid of him as his coordinator

As it's the bye week, I thought I'd look up some of the player's stats to see how they're doing (I don't generally follow stats all that much). Of course, stats don't always tell the whole story (White being a good example of this) but what the hell. Just the players that occur to me: Zay Jones - 37 rec for 392 yards and 2 TDs KB - 20 rec for 302 yards and 1 TD (I was actually surprised he had this many yards...) Charles Clay - 19 rec for 169 yards and 0 TDs McCoy - 111 for 380 yards (3.4 avg) and 2 TDs Marcus Murphy - 36 for 198 yards (5.5 avg) and 0 TDS Shaq - 20 tackles - 2 Sacks - 2 passes def'd, 1 forced fumble Harrison Philips - 21 tackles - 0 sacks - 0 FF Kyle Williams - 17 tackles - 3.5 sacks - 1 FF Star Lotullllllllllallllalllallalallalalay - 7 tackles Tremaine Edmunds - 70 tackles - 1 sack - 2 FF - 7 passes def'd Milano - 61 tackles - 1 sack - 2 int - 6 passes def'd Tre'Davious White - 33 tackles - 1 int - 6 passes def'd Poyer - 52 tackles - 2 int - 1 sack - 1 FF - 2 passes def'd Hyde - 33 tackles - 1 int - 3 passes def'd Taron Johnson - 35 tackles - 1 sack - 1 int - 1 FF - 3 passes def'd

While the fact we have a lot of starters isn't a big thing in itself (bad teams are more likely to let their picks start because they have less competition) I do agree there are some good looking players in there. So far the defensive guys are more impressive, hopefully they can hit it out of the park on the offense in the next draft. What I do REALLY like is finding guys in later rounds like Milano and, fingers crossed, Teller. It makes the lesser rounds a lot more fun when you have faith that your front office can find diamonds in the rough. It also gives me hope that they might be able to turn the offense around more quickly than it might otherwise take

Eli is an interesting one. I'm not sure of his career stats but never thought of him as a top tier QB, yet he has those 2 Super Bowl rings and I will always love him for beating Brady each time. It'll be interesting to see what's said when it comes time for his HOF eligibility. I'm sure loads of people would say he should go in, I personally don't. But again, that's based on me not looking at his career stats. I never believed Warner was a HOFer either but there you go

In all seriousness, he is the kind of guy I could see running for president one day.

I'd like to thank Nate for what has become my 2 year old's favorite counting song: 12 interceptions that John Murphy had to call, There were 12 interceptions that John Murphy had to call, And if only Peterman had been more careful with the ball There'd be 11 interceptions that John Murphy had to call...

I'm not religious myself but I do agree people are allowed to say whatever they want about Christianity, whereas if similar things were said about so-called minority religions they would lose their job in a second. In this respect I sort of feel sorry for Christians who just go about their business and show up to church every Sunday but have to sit tight while people ridicule them

No offense to any people of faith reading this, but it sort of creeps me out when these high profile sportsmen always talk about God and Jesus so much. Like when the Rams won the Super Bowl and the first thing Warner said when he received the trophy was "thank you, Jesus!" There's something odd to me about the belief that the Almighty chose you to win and the other guys to lose. What the hell did they do to tick Jesus off so much? I'll get flamed for this but I always wince now when Jim Kelly keeps talking about Jesus. I understand he's been through some terrible times with his son and his illness and religion is great for helping people through those kinds of things, but when people suddenly 'find' God they can't help but tell you about it every five minutes. It's like when people find veganism and then insist on telling everyone they meet "by the way, I'm vegan".

I don't actually know what Teller looks like without his helmet on, but his long hair and all, I'm sort of hoping he resembled Mitch Frerrote (including the spectacular tache)

Okay, here's a list of things that posters on this board believe McDermott should have been fired for so far this season: (possibly) not starting Barkley against Jax Not starting Teller in game 1 (because he definitely would have been great without having 9 weeks to learn and develop) Cutting O' Leary Not having Peterman murdered by a professional hitman Clapping too much Ah, a full list would take too long, but that's a start

Just looking at some of the offensive stats. It actually looks like a real team today: Barkley 15/23 235 yards 2 TD McCoy 22 rushes 106 yards 2 TDs Foster 3 rec 105 yards Jones 8 rec 93 yards 1 TD

Watched him closely today, he's opened up a lot of holes on that left side. Has consistently driven players back

Is Teller starting the difference?

I like the going for broke but sort of wish they'd had the same attitude when we were, you know, in with a realistic shot at the playoffs

I haven't been this surprised since my wife showed me her balls on our wedding night
