  1. Or he doesn't cut at all and just slams into the guy in front of him. It's a very unique return style he has
  2. My son has a Devin Singletary rookie card (he bought it as a lark/joke when we were going through the market in Charleston Devin's rookie year and there was a card stand) Somewhere in my house are the Topps football cards my brother and I collected as kiids. There are almost complete sets from 1970-1973 with tons of duplicates - one set is only missing Frenchy Fuqua (I always remembered him as the one player who made our set incomplete). They were in my Dad's house for years - I lifted them a few years ago afraid he would throw them out as he was slowly cleaning out his house (don't tell my brother - they were always sitting there as a kind of demilitarized card zone). There's also a bunch of hockey cards - we mostly only kept the Sabres ones - and ABA cards!. I've never actually gone through them to see if there are any valuable ones. Fun side note - my Dad has a baseball signed by Babe Ruth. When he was a kid he and one of his brothers were cleaning out someone's garage and they found two balls - the Babe Ruth one and one signed by members of the old Cardinals Gashouse Gang. His brother took the Gashouse Gang one. When I was growing up it was on the piano in our living room for years. In retrospect that wasn't the best thing for it - it got faded over the years. He has it put away somewhere now.
  3. It's interesting, I was thinking this week how I felt sooooo bad for Allen as a person after the loss (after feeling sorry for myself of course) - I've never felt that kind of emotional sympathy for a player just based on losing. It's kind of crazy how much the way he plays and his whole attitude/approach makes you root for him personally - he deserved so much better this game. Such a damn shame
  4. Good landing spot for him. Can cheat at football then go cheat at cards
  5. Then you just commit a single holding call on the first play. Line someone up on Kelce - don't tackle him, but run wth him and grab his jersey or get your arm around him right away (I say hold Kelce vs Hill b/c chance that Hill blows past you before you can even get hands on him). Then it is a regular 5 yd penalty and time goes off clock. If for some reason they don't call it, you've taken Kelce out of the play (and let's assume you've double-teamed Hill legitimately as well). If they call it you're potentially looking at 1st down from the 30 with 7-8 secs left. OMG just thinking about this is making me nauseous again
  6. And yet on one of the shows this AM I heard "Has never won an away playoff game" - just goes to show how stupid so many of those kinds of lazy "stats" are - the loss had nothing to do with him, and his brilliance at the end of the game which *should have* won it will be lost in the L over time
  7. What about footballs made from sweet potatoes
  8. "Gabriel Davis is F***ing crazy" <- the torch has been passed from Bob Woods
  9. Yeah waking up then having it hit you and getting that feeling in the pit of your stomach... The worst is thinking what could have been this AM - basking in the coverage, thinking about the AFCG in Bufalo this weekend, favorites for going on to SB *sigh* And it also hits you to think (if all goes well) will be another year of your life to be back at this position
  10. This is also why QB "head to head" stats are so stupid - Mahomes goes up one on Allen - when it was the Bills defense that handed Mahomes the W, despite Josh being a superhuman at the end
  11. My last words before the musical city miracle play to my wife were "We need to cover the kick". Today it was "there's still 13 seconds left". For real I wasn't even really celebrating the TD for more than a few secs before my mind went to dread calculating if/how we could still lose. After the game my 24 yr old son said he's always known that's how I process the end of close games - and this one really put him in that mindset. He was taking it tough and I said yeah imagine going through this and music city miracle and wide right and all the others. In the end though, through all the years, I know there's been a lot of joy to go along with the disappointment. This one was next level though - just unbelievable to play that last minute of regulation back in your head. And the 13 seconds. Just unbelievable
  12. 100% after I saw 13 seconds my first instinct was dreading them somehow getting in FG range
  13. What a waste of Josh's awesomeness
  14. Josh needs to talk to the D now - play like I play
  15. I thought Davis was going to drop it while he was tripping backwards
  16. If Josh was Brady could just throw it up here for the PI
  17. Should just tell Josh to call plays from here on out. You know he would call his own number 3rd and short
  18. Didn't go past los - thats grounding. One of my pet peeves
  19. I mean seriously at some point the defense needs to make a play and get a stop
