Good point.

He's from the Reid tree with McD. If Daboll gets a HC job, I'm not against bringing him in as OC.

Rudy out here already begging for a Pardon. No wonder he's playing good little lap dog to Donnie. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2020/12/01/us/joe-biden-trump?smtyp=cur&smid=tw-nytimes#giuliani-is-said-to-have-discussed-a-possible-pardon-with-trump no paywall: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/rudy-giuliani-donald-trump-pardon-b1764579.html?utm_source=reddit.com

hahaha, interesting catch. it is Ike Boetteger, and watching the video it looks like he is chewing on the nozzle of the water bottle. Which HAS to be against COVID protocols 🤣

Just Processing myself!

"Don't come downstairs, honey. I'm 'watching the Sean McDermott video' again!"

Was going to make this a new thread, but saw this one and figured it would fit here. Comparison of Josh vs rest of 2018 class

To me, making them fulltime and having them work year-round isnt about trying to get them 100% perfect and never miss a call. It's about getting them all on the same page, and making consistently the same calls. Two different crews can call the same game, heck even 1 single play, totally differently. Even worse, the same crew can call the same play two different ways in the same game! And that is the problem. Get the refs all on the same page on how they should be doing their jobs. Have them spend time with teams, informing them how they will be doing their jobs, and you'd have far less issues.

To throw my two cents in... In real time, I said we were getting a flag the moment I saw Tre hit Herbert. I was surprised to hear they called it on Oliver, and thought they might simply be mistaken, since both were in on the play. The one thing I want to see on a replay is how Ed lands on Herbert. Refs have been flagging defenders for falling directly on the QB and not taking him down to a side. It could be that Ed drove Herbert directly into the ground, and that is why he got flagged. And they let Tre's go because Herbert was outside/running. I cant find a replay anywhere though.

Vrabel is not an elite coach. Shanahan is a work in progress, and the jury is still out there as well. Might as well include McVay who just went to a Super Bowl, and who was also out-coached by McD this year. The other guys have all been Head Coaches for over a decade.

Josh came into the league at a very similar weight to where Rothlisberger measured at the combine. Both around 240lbs. Josh could thicken up as well, and be that brickhouse on the tundra. Let's go!

Guess who owns ESPN? Why do you think they force it onto ESPN? (hint: your first sentence)

Fair point, I get it. But it's a wonky year for everyone. Just gotta roll with the punches. (I'd like to say more, but it's about Leadership through this time, and it might quickly devolve into the politics/COVID stuff which we are all rightly trying to avoid on the main board.)

They can cry about it, but they are lucky to be playing at all this year. Given the circumstance, this is what they signed up for. There are a lot more people in far worse situations from the pandemic. The players need to grow up.

This may all be true, and I'm not going to obligate you to dox yourself. But if you are going to post on message boards as an insider and NOT reveal yourself, then it is completely worthless and you will/should be doubted.

Make you a permanent resident of FLAVOR TOWN!

Your responses in here are... fascinating. What makes you believe TD is writing articles in direct response to a barely seen message board post? Does he post there too?

Lot of good ones in here already. I'll just throw one more into the mix...

This may be my favorite thing I've read all week! Let's Go!!!

Player success, especially QBs, does not happen in a vacuum. Would Mahomes be as successful in Buffalo as he has been in KC? With the year to sit behind Smith, and learn from one of the greatest offensive minds in the game in Reid (vs Taylor and Dennison)? With the vastly different amounts of talent he has had around him in KC vs what Buffalo has had up until this season? He probably would still be "good", but I find it hard to say he'd be on track to being "perhaps the best QB of all time". We probably wouldnt be regretting the pick, but I can't say he'd be who he is today.

Same. Sure, we're as much contenders as any other Division leader. Contenders doesnt mean "Favorites". Yeah, this is my feeling as well. We traded down with KC hoping Mahomes would slide and not knowing who KC was picking? SERIOUS DOUBT. I take these "draft day stories" with a grain of salt, especially when they come 3 years later. A lot of revisionist history.

The comment isnt about the player. It's about the owner, who is brand new to the league and sport, not meddling and staying out of the way.

And thank god Terry made the right choice of staying out of the way and letting the football people do their jobs. Maybe he should take more of that stance on the hockey side. I guess I should have said "Was never going to happen as long as it was up to McD", and it was. Luckily.

Was never going to happen since McD didn't have his GM in place yet, AND had to settle on a 3rd choice for OC in Dennison who he knew he was going to replace the next year. Didnt matter who was in that draft, we weren't taking a QB in 2017. This thread is like a cow because the point is mooed.
