  1. Fair enough on the records. That's always awkward but this isn't the first time in history that the number of games in a season has changed. Baseball didn't always have 162 games. We adapt. On player safety, I consider that argument kinda null because this wasn't unilaterally imposed on the players, it was negotiated for in the CBA. If the players were staunchly against an extra game, they wouldn't have given the owners the option.
  2. McKenzie is missing
  3. I don't understand the complaints. It's one more week of football to shove in our eyeballs.
  4. I haven't noticed it, but I think he has a good voice for the booth. He's not Kevin Harlan or Kenny Albert but he sounds pretty good.
  5. Ironically, the things he did so well to earn him that record contract, he no longer does. Those pre snap reads and predictions were not only entertaining, but educational. Hmm, that's a good point.
  6. The funny thing is that Romo immediately began to suck as soon as he got that contract. I still remember the game where Dak got hurt. Dude's foot is pointing 90 degrees in the wrong direction. Romo says "If you're a Cowboys fan, you hope it's just a cramp" He did it again later but it escapes me right now. And those cool insights and play predictions seemed to vanish.
  7. Even Miami Breida was a much better receiver than Singletary, and they averaged about the same YPC.
  8. I love this. I hope Breida isn't relegated to a Yeldon level of snaps. I'd make him and Moss the primary RB tandem. Beane is crushing this offseason, holy crap.
  9. I personally feel like Hollywood Brown is a lot better than people think he is but he will never show it while he plays with Lamar. I like Lamar as a dude and he's got some amazing skills, but unfortunately not many play well at the QB position.
  10. Warriors, Wolves, Senators, Thrushes (DC official bird, kinda lame though), Stars, Cougars (more cat teams!), Leopards. Not good names: Redwolves, Redtails, Redstuff, Rednotskins, Reds, Redball Team, Redbulls, Redbudgets, Republicans, Democrats, Lincolns, Redgolds. Just off the top of my head. My vote is for Wolves because wolves are bad ass and don't get enough representation in pro sports.
  11. I'm not sure either. I'm not sure if we can maintain health, I'm not sure if JA will repeat his amazing season, I'm not sure the players we need to step up actually do. That's why we watch the games and cheer as fans. You can't be sure about anything.
  12. Oliver was forced to play out of position so often last year. Impossible to make a judgment there. I'm not sure how you can discount Davis, especially considering he was a late pick. He's a lot better than some of the guys picked a few rounds earlier. Epenesa was playing 20-30 pounds lighter than he was in college. It required a complete overhaul of his playstyle. He was playing well closer to the end of the year. I think he'll be pleasantly surprising.
  13. Josh runs. He does it all over the field and he always will. If people are mad about that, go cheer for Big Ben.
  14. This smells like space for Ertz.
  15. Dunno, it's close for me. I feel like you guys are being too hard on Knox and Hollister, if you're listing Brate and past prime Gronk.
  16. Some of them even have an issue with retaining the gold and burgundy. It's insane. They are like the team name version of the Browns' helmets.
  17. Well those all suck, so no harm done. I don't get It, if "Redwolves" is a choice, why not just "Wolves"? The alliteration is nice, the fans can be the #WolfPack and they won't be violating any of that guy's bs trademarks. I'm ok with Football Team, too. Something about it I find hilarious. "Who's your favourite team?" "The Football Team" and everyone knows who you're talking about because there's only one football team in the NFL. Tottenham is referred to as Spurs more often than Tottenham. Also, Arsenal has the best nickname in the Gunners.
  18. That kinda just sounds like all good and no bad.
  19. I'm superstraight and I was turned on
  20. + Guard. I don't really trust Ford/Feliciano as our primary guard tandem. That's a lot of extra work for Mitch Morse.
  21. I have pretty high hopes for Epenesa to be taking most of the snaps on the edge. My issue is that I think we need someone to make Jerry Hughes a secondary player to keep him fresh due to age. I love Jerry, so I don't want him to go, but he can't be taking 80-90% of snaps any more.
  22. I have had my head turned by Javonte Williams. I hear about Etienne and Harris all the time, but Williams is probably just as good or better, so if he slips to R2, we should be all over that.
  23. I'll be shocked if we don't take one in the 3rd round.
  24. That's fair enough, my larger point was just that you can't make a snap judgment based on one game while throwing out all the others. This was not and is not a bad defense, even if they had a bad game when it mattered most and against a top 3 offense.
  25. Yeah, judging a defense based on one game is not a very good idea. Does KC need to vastly improve on offense after scoring 0 touchdowns in the SB? No. They don't. I honestly can't believe the number of people who judge an entire defense based on one game, especially a game that directly followed them holding the Ravens to 3 points.
