I'm just worn out

Wouldn't it have to go past the LOS?

Yep - it doesn't matter what the offense does if the defense doesn't get at least some stops

"Who'a he making that throw to? Nobody!" 🤔

The problem at this point is even if we score a TD every posession we need to stop them twice

If you get pressure you also have to now where Kelce is

Freaking Singletary

WTF 2 PFs in a row

Let's see the Don't Break part of our D now

If they bring Tre he's got to get there quick

Let's hope he thinks he needs to get it all back right away and forces things

LFG. Huge ST gaffes are really hard to overcome

Daboll checked the run "balance" of for McD that last drive - now just throw every down

Yep - return and coverage teams need to be smart

Nice drop Tyreek

I should have said initial aggravation - the next two weeks will be a whole other thing

My aggravtion at Bady winning is just now starting to wear off

Love it

FML - going to be muting or changing the channel over 50% of the time for the next two weeks for SB coverage regardless of what happens tonight

Was that "sugar-high" Brady?

I should have said play/train year round. There's no doubt there's still kids who play multiple sports - but it's indisputable that there are less kids doing it nowadays, especially at big schools. Just google high school sports specialization. Also - I was talking about 3 sports - there's a huge difference between playing 2 sports and 3. Sure a bunch of football players play football and wrestle - now add trying out for baseball or lacrosse - against kids who play/train year round. The odds against them making that team are much lower (esp at large schools). When you say you've never met a kid who just played football or basketball that is not my experience, or the experience of other people I know who have kids that play those sports. At big high schools around here (and I'm sure other places) - they make a big deal with getting the kids together who sign to play a sport in college. At my kid's school there's usually 10-20 kids. I can say with certainty that in four years my kids were there (going back a few years), there was not a single athlete that signed to play a sport in college that played three sports in high school. By far the majority only played one. My kid's school was extremely competitive (they routinely win 4-5 state championships a year), but the same was true of the other big schools in the area (I knew many of those athletes from youth leagues, travel leagues etc). Of all my neices and nephews who played sports, and kids of friends around the country - I don't know of a single one that played three sports. I'm not saying that there aren't still kids who do - I'm saying it is much more rare than it used to be, especially at large schools. Many kids/parents think they need to start specializing in a single sport early on to play in college, or honestly to even make their high school team at many large schools (beacuse so many other kids are doing the same).

Not where I live. In my kid's graduating class of 600+ I could count on one hand the number of boys and girls who played 3 sports (if you don't count running 3 seasons as different sports). By far most of the varsity athletes started specializing on travel teams before they even reached high school and played that one sport year round. Same for other schools in the area.

The 1st Half Game thread just sits there pinned and locked - trolling me

Love that picture of Josh - reminds me of my ridiculous HS sports jacket with patches all over it 😛 . One of my favorite things about him is he was a multi-sports star. I played 3 sports all 4 yrs in HS, both my kids did (my Dad actually played 4 back in the day they let him play both baseball and track in the same season) - just think it is cool in this age of specialization he just played all sports for the love of it and still succeded at the highest level.

Kelly, Thomas, Reed on NFLN - then they ruin it by putting Irvin on
