I actually like the lower quality production. Feels more real and personal, if that makes sense. Like youre just hanging with Baldy watching tape.

Haha, for real. I think he has all the film access. He just doesnt have the ability to edit it and put his audio on it at the same time. Cheapest production quality, but great analysis. It works! Yeah, while it's always nice to watch highlight reels of Josh and the boys, I was a little let down by the lack of xs and os. Still worth the watch tho!

Oh he showed up for the Super Bowls... at every bar, night club, and coke dealer in town. Josh is already a first ballot HoFer but I'm not trying to rush to get there.

I like the idea, but it would look just like this, but a little better... I dont hate it.

It's been my prediction that Terry is trying to wait until we win a Super Bowl before they bring back the 90s throwbacks. Win a SB, then have the team come out in the 90s throwbacks the next opening day with all the 90s players down on the field. Exorcise the demons. Highmark would be absolutely nuts.

I give you props and kudos for not saying give him his "flowers" in the title.

I hate the Pats, so you can only guess how I feel about this...

Considering our last 3 games are fairly meaningless (yeah yeah #1 seed, I know), I wouldnt mind these 2 seeing way more playing time. Bishop is just going to take time, and the more time we get him now, the sooner he develops. None of our Safeties played well early in their careers. Not Poyer, not Hyde, not Hamlin. All took them about 4-5 years to really click. Get Cole going now.

I know Colin Cowherd can be quite a blowhard, but he does have one take I appreciate, and considering he started as a radio host I give him some weight... Cowherd calls the people who you hear call into sports radio shows "The Wrong Guy". Meaning, they have made so many WRONG choices in their lives, that they find themselves with nothing else to do but sit on hold all day just for the chance to have 30 seconds to give their dumb, unoriginal opinion on something that doesnt really matter to them.

I love the mic'ed up clip from the 2020 Chargers game after Bosa hip-dropped Josh, and Dawkins and the OL came to give Bosa some business, and he's like "He's f$%&king huge! Wtf do you guys want me to do?! Let him run me over? There's no way to tackle him!!"

Agreed, I dont see anything about Seattle. Joe starts with "It's f$^&king embarassing", then "f%^&k that" and "it's bullsh!t"... But I dont see any "trade me to seattle".

You mean how low/quiet the announcers' voice volume was?

I noticed mid-week that my Bills flag got tangled at the top, and had likely been like that since last week. I climbed up and untangled it Wednesday, which I believe also untangled the team and allowed them to relax and focus for Sunday's game, even without real practices. And it showed on the field.

Bruschi did a good bit on this exact thing, maybe last week. Talked about his first time going up against Rothlisberger, and how he knows all these opponents and rookies are lining up against Josh for the first time and looking across the line like "Oh... Oh *****... How do I defend this monster?" I'm fine with it. Get out of half and get the ball back. Would have been different if we werent getting the ball, or it was the end of the game.

Those 15 NFC players that reporter talked to set off a fire that is burning the entire league to the ground! Probably. As well as the chance that a line-drive FG gets blocked and possibly returned the other way. Or any other momentum a failed FG would give the Lions there. Even with doing nothing to end the half, the last taste in the Lions' mouths was missing the FG. Dont give them any spark, especially at the risk of your own players' psyche. Reset, come out strong in the 2nd half. Which we did.

While I bag on a lot of McD's decisions, I'm totally on board with how we handled those last plays before halftime. When we got the ball back with 3min in the half, I'm sure everyone thought "ok, lets run the clock down and get some points (even a fg) before half, then come back out for the 2nd half and do it again, and really put this game out of reach". Then we stall out, AND miss the FG. But then are lucky enough that Detroit misses their FG too. At THAT point, the mindset changes to "ok, lets just get out of here as it is, come back out after half and reset". Dont allow any dumb plays that could give Detroit a boost going into halftime like missing another FG, or an INT on a Hail Mary. Or even worse, with an aggressive coach like Campbell, it's likely he doesnt just rush 3 or even 4 on the Hail Mary, so there is a chance they come after Josh and something worse happens (a Josh fumble, or even an injury). Just get out of the half and regroup in the 3rd quarter. I didnt hate it.

I think Josh gets the nod for "Best Player" because he is asked to do so much more as a QB than any DE was ever asked to do. He has the ball in his hands and is making plays non stop. Bruce was great, dont want to diminish him at all. But he was able to take plenty of plays off and still look good. Josh doesnt have that luxury.

He's setting/breaking (multiple) records every week. It's the best season the MVP voters have probably ever seen. Tedy Bruschi is an MVP voter and said as much this morning. Bruschi and Rex spent the morning talking about how Josh is playing better than prime Brady and prime Manning.

Love him. Absolutely the unsung hero. I already stated it, but I'll re-apologize for calling him "this season's Trent Sherfield" back when we signed him and saying "If Hollins is getting many snaps, we're in trouble". I thought we brought him in as mostly a ST specialist. But dude is an all-around baller, and a great presence in the locker room. Need to get Shakir an extension too.

I appreciate the deeper discussion. I'll have to watch the replay this week, but pretty sure we backed off on the Lions 3rd and 4th possessions. Basically their first 2 TD possessions when we were up 14-0 and 21-7, bringing it to 21-14. Then we'd tighten back up and run more man/pressure once it was back to a 1-score game. And dont get me wrong. I understand the Lions have the #1 offense, and we werent going to shut them out. It's just annoying watching us move away from what was working so early in the game just because we jumped out to a decent lead.

I'm not tho. Sure, the Lions had to abandon the run, but our pressure/man scheme was just as successful against their passing game because we were getting to Goff before anyone could get open and before he could get the ball out. Even with the backups playing in our backfield. The shift to soft zone was just the usual "playing not to lose", trying to prevent a big play and a quick score, but it was that exact soft zone that let them move right down the field in 5 plays and 1min 50sec and score a TD.

Just need to dial it in for 7 more games. This team is absolutely capable of going on an 8 game streak. Hopefully starting now.

Just a heads up, 10am and all the morning shows are re-airing. So if you watched GetUp! switch to GMFB, and vice versa. Everyone slobbering Josh, rightfully so.

It was such a marked improvement once Williams was able to go back in.
