  1. I'm a really weird combination of avuncular and assho1e, which for reasons beyond my ken makes me uniquely well-suited for this role.
  2. I think it was against Notre Dame. They just controlled their lanes, contained him in the pocket and forced him to play as a traditional QB. He fell apart like a Robert Hall suit.
  3. I'd probably come to the same conclusion but those Islanders teams that preceded them might be a close second. I'd also consider that Cincinnati Reds team of the mid-70's to be worth a mention. The 80's Lakers were a good mention too. The Cowboys in the 90s and 49ers in the 80's were an embarrassment of riches also.
  4. I love a good joke you don't get until 2 hours later. 👍
  5. Hope you got a free chicken fried steak out of it 👍 Blue is not so bad; it could be worse.....
  6. No illicit substances? Slacker......
  7. I think it's only for professional franchises.
  8. I'm still convinced that if the Bills were healthy, they would have finished that game in a Victory formation.
  9. I only ever had the chance to watch him play one time; he was utterly confused and flat out scared because of it. I don't know if he played with that kind of fear regularly but it was bad enough in the one game I saw that he would have been so far down my draft board that he might as well have been off it.
  10. I said the exact same thing right before that drive started. But when they had whittled it down under 2:00 while still having plenty of room to operate there was an opportunity to finish it on that possession. At the time I had zero problem with the shot, because it was there to be taken and it's a throw Allen has made more than once. But in hindsight they may have been smarter to keep bleeding it. Although I get the sense that the Chiefs were adjusting appropriately with the clock and those short zones were getting smaller. At this point, it's just a good debate with no wrong side, imo.
  11. I don't care whether you like him or not. He's an attention-seeking tool that is either a) so stupid he believes his own bull#### (in which case he doesn't deserve threads about him) or b) is intentionally spewing bull#### just to get a rise out of weak-minded toddlers (in which case he doesn't deserve threads about him). If you want to gobble down his schtick, have at it, but do it on your own time. If you want to be a mark and shill for him, go for it, but do it elsewhere. As long as my fingers control the merge button, those kind of carnival barkers will never get traction here and that's just how it is. This community has created the best NFL message board on the planet and deserves better than to see *****nuts like that plastered on the front page.
  12. He's a self-promoting Twitter troll that doesn't even approach the standard of quality of this forum. If you want to help promote his career, please feel free to do so elsewhere.
  13. He's trolling. But not for long.
  14. Let us know which TBD'er ends up sitting right behind you.
  15. Losing Morse stings and it will probably take them a little time to get fully synched up front. And I hope they are moving away from riding Allen as a ballcarrier during the regular season. But there is also potential for this to be the best group of passcatchers he's ever had around him. There could be enough matchup problems to force defenses out of man coverages like they were able to do 3-4 years ago. People might very well be underestimating how dangerous this offense can be.
  16. C'mon man, he was one of the most chickenspit, gutless choke artists I've ever seen when things got real. That held true from college right through his NFL career.
  17. I have a sneaking suspicion this crew is going to surprise some folks.
  18. I was in the midst of driving across the US and stopped in some roadhouse in the middle of Wyoming to see of they had the game on. Not only did they have it on, it turns out I had walked into a bar full of Broncos fans. I started drinking with them at 10:30 in the morning and by the time the game was over I had to go sleep it off in the truck before I could keep going.
  19. This is likely to be complementary also as I think folks will be impressed with how well Curtis Samuel blocks. He's not recklessly blowing people up but he's smart with his feet and typically gets effective leverage. I think they're going to play a lot of games with this (and also end up leaving corners isolated and vulnerable against a bigger WR on the other side).
  20. Ummm, are you sure?
  21. Try a peanut butter and butter sandwich some time, being sure it is good quality softened butter. It really makes the peanut butter less discomforting.
  22. You should step away
