Exactly, the whole thing is pretty useless. The reason they are doing it is because they say it saves time from having the chain gang come out. Saves 30 secs. And this was said at the combine when they presented it to the people in the room. It's a nothingburger. Hope this is a start though for further reforms. The sad thing is though that the NFL is trying to trick people into thinking this is some big reform.

Good call. Maybe this is a step towards the bigger picture. The devil on my shoulder though kinda thinks the NFL doesn't want a complete checks and balance system in place for refs though.

Being down was not the issue in the AFC Championship game. This is basically useless what they have implemented here yet it's being spun by the NFL guys luke it's some huge change. It literally just replaces the chain gang.

https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/2025/01/27/hawkeye-nfl-first-down-chiefs-bills/ Sal was talking about this after the AFC Championship. That this just replaces the chain gang and not where the ball is actually spotted. And said this would not have changed the call as this article does as well. I dont know why they won't chip the ball.

It will be banned soon enough. Be it this year or 5 years from now. I'm not a big fan of it.

They mentioned on WGR this a.m. that he's the third oldest starting QB in the AFC behind Mahomes and Burrow. That's nuts. Nuts that all three of them are in that spot so young. Of course could change with some teams QB spots in flux. Edit* Burrow is younger than Allen, so I have no idea where they got this info from. Is Allen really the 2nd oldest starting QB in AFC as of now?

It's not the age typically, it's the amount of carries. I'm told 2000 college and NFL carries is the magic number. He was used sparingly in college and only has 533 NFL carries. Dont get me wrong though, id be the first one to package him away for Garrett or Crosby. He's great, but replaceable.

Sounds like his agent is sending out bs extra early this year. Guy does little to nothing more than Samuel does for me personally. Hard pass unless it's super cheap and it won't be.

I was thinking the same. They could be so much better still with a dude on the outside. And that ain't Cooper unfortunately.

Not watching either, but i think Philly wins by 2 scores at minimum. Going to run it down their throats and chiefs won't have answers. Cough, cough, same thing we should have done.

I dont remember many people being optimistic about the hire. A classic Ralph hire. He was a good guy though no doubt. RIP coach God bless.

Brief battle with cancer was mentioned in the article I read.

Don't forget Kelce constantly instigating **** and the other team ends up getting the flag cuz they retaliate. He knows what he is doing. Smart, but damn he annoys me and too bad the refs can't see he's the one starting it all.

Different team. We are a better team this year. But still blew it.

If we were the #1 seed and that game is in Buffalo, I'm almost sure we win. We don't make those bonehead mistakes at home. But we'll never know now. Agree though that fatigue or whatever else from them resting is a non factor.

Whatever. Just hope he's okay for his own health. The article is pretty much clickbait. "One fan demanded an investigation by the NFL!" Kewl.

Might as well save the pick and get fat Mike then. Literally have the same resume. In fact, I believe McCarthy has a slightly higher win%. Neither of those guys are the solution.

Starting to come to this conclusion too unfortunately.

Agree with you. But it's a mess. It seems like no matter how hard they try, we cant get any consistency out of the most important position on defense.

Not a fan, but don't you kind of have to? Especially with you know who hopefully going on the other side? What a mess oy.

Soneone made a post of how he put such a kewl video on his Instagram and how he was gonna blow up tonight. Must have been moved as I can't find it now, but what a joke. Just go away Von. Hated that signing then, and hate it more now. Bye

Good riddance.

We'll see. He keeps this trajectory SB or not he's guaranteed.

Sleep it off or quit on em. You're on here looking for pity. Not the right place for it.

We don't get crushed.
