Nor my last.

I enjoyed every post. That passion makes me smile.

Flat earthers

Mahomes would play on a broken leg. He’s a warrior. These are the two best quarterbacks in football, and that’s saying a lot.

I was talking about Philly , I think I want SF to win, regardless of who wins the AFC, but was talking about how great Philly looked.

We’ve got some battles Sunday.

If Philly wins on Sunday, it will happen because of the O & D lines. The O-line has 2 hall of fame players in Kelce and Lane Johnson. Johnson hasn't given up a sack in over 2 years. Bosa will be a handful. No one can argue it's not the best in the NFL right now.

The D-line is very deep and has 2 players left from the SB team, Cox & Graham. For both, this is likely their last chance at a 2nd ring. Eagles had 70 sacks this year which was an incredible 11.4% of opposing QB's drop backs, the highest ever recorded since the stat started in 2000.
The 2nd string of Brandon Graham, Jordan Davis, Milton Williams, and Robert Quinn would be an upgrade over several teams starters. They rotate the pass rushers at will. 4 players had double digit sacks, with Reddick at 16.

Man I want to see Bengals Eagles SB so bad.

Me too.

The very specific Matt Ryan obsession was one of the funniest things revealed in this topic

I wanna see the chiefs and the winner of the nfc in the SB so bad

Buffalo fired Leslie Frazier today, strange considering how much praise their defense got.

Yeah, didn't they just try to win a playoff game with no rushing attack (in the snow!) ?

Seems like that should be top priority (I meant to suggest)

Cowboys fired 6 assistant coaches today. The change they needed.

Eagles are gonna be tough to beat. The only way the Niners win is if they win the turn over battle, and they are successful at running the ball, which is the only way to slow down that pass rush....hoping for a good game.

Niners can run at Phili which is their weakness; that's their path to win.
We'll see if Eagles can actually make Purdy shaky.

They've needed to fire the owner for 15 years, sit in your Taj you built, eat your popcorn and pay someone with the skills to run the team Jerry.

Damn it's only Friday am my nerves are already shot to hell!!!! I'm looking for the Bengals to win but this game is as close as it gets. We have won our past 3 encounters, is there a fourth in the making? I'm going with the Bengals and SF, Purdy convinced me he's not a pumpkin and can play under pressure after downing Dallas. Come Sunday I'll likely not even be able to eat at this rate!

They do a pretty good job at building a roster. Jerry values OL more than most teams, and they have a knack for finding excellent edge rushers.

Probably biggest mistake this year was choosing Schultz over Cooper. I doubt they lose to SF with a second receiving threat.

The Eagles looked great last week, but I don't want them to advance to the Super Bowl. Their head coach bothers me for some reason that I can't quite figure out. It really is remarkable how much better Hurts is this season. I didn't think it was possible, so good job there by him. Whoever their GM is, has done an amazing job.

In the AFC I'm just happy the over-rated Bills are out. Come on man, gotsta score more than 10 points at home in the snow. #notelite.
I kinda think that the laws of probability are against the Burrows. Seems like it would be a statistically low probability that the Burrows can beat Big Red and Mahomes 4 times in a row. I'm hoping for a close game and the Bills are gone so I'm happy.

It's the visor, unless you're golfing leave it at home.

Schultz is probably at top 5-6 TE in the NFL, odd that you would single him out as the problem in Dallas

Why is Mike McCarthy still coaching there?

Jerry lets these guys hang around as long as they don’t rock the boat. Garrett was there forever and he sucked worse than mike.

I think McCarthy exceeded everyone's expectations this year. He even held it together with Cooper Rush. The on-field decision making by Dak is really what cost them the game.

Yeah as much as I’m not a fan, not too much justification for him getting canned.

I mean except for that humiliating final play of the season but I think they just wanted to send Zeke out with a bang.

Because that was the decision they made when they franchised him, and it was clear it was the wrong decision in the SF game when no one could get open. He's JAG who only can only produce against bad teams (yes that includes the corpse of TB!) and will be replaced

I'm hoping for a Bengals win. But I dread the thought of Mahomes winning the game in the final minute and then listening for 2 weeks about how great Mahomes is for playing on one leg. He was already great.

And weren't we a little surprised that Mike M wasn't near the top of that head coach time out efficiency chart on the previous page?

Not sure why but he seems more likable since someone here posted pictures of Mike with his pinball machines

And last season

Dan Quinn returning as DC. I like to see a guy stick with what he's good at instead of rising (again) to their level of incompetence.

I think he just looked around at the available jobs and said "Nah...I'm good!"

Wouldn't be surprised if Sean Payton does the same thing.

This is a great offseason to be an OC. Not such a great one to be looking for a HC job. The available situations are pretty awful. Next year may be better.

Does DC mean you are top D coach during practice, or does it just mean you are calling formations on game day?

Yeah I thought the word was he's waiting another year.

Peyton to Chargers would be the Best move out of whats available.

That job isn't available. Let's look at what is:

Cardinals - total shitshow, especially the QB situation (this is a common theme)

Colts - total shitshow, especially the QB situation. With the added plus of one of the worst owners in the league.

Texans - yikes. At least they have some draft capital?

Broncos - who the fuck wants to dive into the Russell Wilson experience?!

How many more years does New Orleans have Payton's rights?

That's the big question to me. Why would you take a job when you're handicapping yourself by giving up 2 firsts (or whatever outrageous value NO is expecting)?

And apparently those cheap owners would never pay the amount needed.

If Payton sits out another year do is the compensation over and you wouldn't have to deal with the saints?

Not sure.

But I think 1 first would probably get it done for Payton.

Looked it up. NO has his rights for 2 more years

Is he really that good that you'd give up a first for him? Seems nuts to me.

James Payton (resized).jpg

He wasted Brees' career!

The best coach acquisition/tampering/poaching from different leagues in history. https://phinphanatic.com/2020/06/08/the-trade-that-sent-don-shula-to-the-miami-dolphins-from-the-colts/

nah.

No, I wouldn't. But I suspect somebody would. Bad teams are desperate.

That being said Saints don't have a ton of leverage. I'm sure they'd be happy to get something.

It still boggles my mind that Washington only got a 3rd and 5th out of San Fran for Trent Williams. Best lineman in football.

1st round picks are going like Halloween candy these days.
But you can look at it as A 1st round pick only gets you 1/3 of Trey Lance, or you don't have a 1st round pick to waste

Edit: and now 10th round QBs are in vogue so you're SAVING MONIES not having a 1st rounder.

Also, some owners are actually trying to save monies...in this league. Shit writes itself

Well no one can argue with that.

Would be pretty fun to hear what Shula would have to say about Ruxin.

btw I think NO will finally move on from the amazing Michael Thomas contract. Maybe he follows Payton?

Total headcase; I'm 40% sure he'll never play again.

God, I hope so. Even if it's to the broadcast booth.

Saint's are pretty much demanding at least a first round pick for the rights to SP.

haha is he? He's been injured so long I don't really remember anything about him
