  1. They will do whatever they want offensively this year when they play us. They aren't the same team as the ones who destroyed us, but anybody that can match you point for point is dangerous. We won't slow Burrow down even a little. McD has no clue how to defend a guy like him.
  2. In three opening drives. Which means three separate games. The playoff game, the Hamlin game, and the following year. We have never beat the Bengals, Burrow is stone cold, and they would have done whatever they wanted vs our paper defense last year. We might have won on account of that horrible defense they have. But who knows. As another poster called out, he’s the most surgical in the NFL. So McD’s style of baiting him into a mistake over 10-14 play drives doesn’t work. You will see it again this year I’m sure.
  3. I disagree with most your takes. But this one specifically, your first sentence is how far I made it. Burrow is 17 of 17, just under 200 yards, 3 TD passes, across three opening drives va us. McD has zero clue how to do anything against him. So maybe we could score at will, but so could they.
  4. I would say most these guys playing for contracts would have brought it. Ultimately I do like this one with Benford. With the others I think we blocked out upgrading over the long term in two positions that could really transform this defense (DE and MLB) with B players. That, I don't like. Although who knows fully, they can still develop, but in my eyes they will need to develop for those signings to make sense. Bernard strikes me as a guy that would really benefit if we get a space eater at DT, so certainly some paths for those guys to step up.
  5. I didn’t care for the Groot or Bernard extensions, but this one makes sense
  6. With all the advanced stats, I still have seen nothing that separates on schedule and off schedule plays. I wouldn’t be surprised if we are outside the top 6 or 7 in on schedule plays. Which in my opinion is a lot more indicative of the talent as a whole.
  7. Did they know the month prior when Trump postponed them? Nobody knows. He says on and off like he’s playing with a light switch. Trump clarified his auto Tarrif Wednesday. That IS the reason. The market was rallying until the announcement. Since that point it’s sold off to near lows on the year.
  8. It didn’t look very easy prior to the Johnson TD catch vs Denver, nor the 2nd half vs Baltimore, nor most of the game vs KC. The 2nd half vs KC last year. The entire game vs the Bengals the year before. Our limitations show up more the deeper we go. A lot of that in my opinion is teams doing everything possible to make Allen one dimensional in the postseason. He creates so much offense off schedule. But that off schedule stuff is hard to be super consistent on. Even if he does it probably better than anybody who has ever played
  9. Bill Cartwrights jump shot, how he swung his arms over his head and sort of flicked his wrists.
  10. Markets have already priced in rate cuts. It's been priced in for months. Did you see the weakness yesterday at the end of the session (prior to PCE?). We will be red in April, I expect at least another 6-7% down in the S&P. All of which is just stocks, but at the end of the day the biggest thing impacting stocks is speculation of future market conditions and economic activity. Right or wrong the markets wanted to extend this bull run further at the $610 high for SPY. But even the risk adverse wall street bros can't toss cash into this burning pile. Did you read the outlook from Lululemon from yesterday? Nobody is projecting growth. Everybody is complaining about higher costs and concerns with tariffs. Inflation + reduction in disposable income is on the menu, which the economy was managing, but the Tariffs will tip it over and we are already seeing it.
  11. I don't think Jim had that great of a motion. I remember watching a really good breakdown on Youtube and they agreed. He could put some English on it, no doubt, but it wasn't overly efficient or quick. He obviously did a lot of other things well. I do agree, as far as how unique his motion is, you would know it's him from anywhere. Very deliberate and over the top. Totally unique. I will always miss those teams.
  12. Crazy that the markets prefer some idea of what to expect vs the on / off Tariff game.
  13. Meanwhile out west
  14. An entire party or the members of that party display one set of characteristics? Seems well thought out.
