I would not want a job based on having Sam Howell on my roster.

Jerloma does truly think that the coach of the team saw that play at live speed from the sideline, knew that possession was (arguably) established in-bounds, but refused to throw the red flag solely because he doesn't know what the rules are.

I think a lot of pundits are getting amnesia now about how they ranked those two.

I did let groupthink sour my opinion on Stroud just a little bit - my first opinion on him was "this guy is amazing".

So maybe Dobbs having one good game doesn’t mean he’s awesome

Looking back, I think early returns may have Todd McNeigh beating "the NFL" this draft. So far I'm wrong on Bryce Young but not as wrong as them, wrong on Will Anderson and arguably wrong on Levis. But McNeigh sure as hell ain't drafting Quentin Johnston as first WR off the board or lettin...

Still waiting on that contested catch. This guy cracks me up, he’s open by 30 yards on every play like GPJ said. He might be a legitimate star on a real offense. Ha was gonna say, looks exactly like Tennessee. Daboll is a master at creating WR separation - it's easily his single best coaching abili...

Andy Dalton was just fine with this offense. The owner should have just allowed the coach to draft the generational talent at QB who is turning Nico Collins and Tank Dell into superstars.

It never was, this is NFL myth number 1 with a bullet

Didn't think it would happen but I guess when you barely crack 100 yards in 30 pass attempts, that will do it

Decided not to take a risk on the game show question and it turns out I should have. We gotta stick to the gameplan though.

Starting Howell (vs. Giants) over Purdy (vs. Bucs) this week. I’m doing it right, right? Howell is fifth in the league in passing yards per game while being middle of the pack in TD and INT rate. As long as you don't lose points for him eating sacks (and NYG is 31st in the league in sacks/game), I ...

Good example is my MiL, she bought a lot of Apple stock a long time ago and constantly bitches that she can't afford to sell it, because the profits will cause her to incur all sorts of penalties and put her over income levels that protect her on other investments.

Impressed by the laser precision of the Chick-Fil-A answers so far I'm ascared! Never been to a Chick-Fil-A I went for the first time ever a couple weeks ago.

Yeah people are hand-waving this but the Bears have so much more variance with Fields, which is not good for a team like Detroit that would have buried Tyson Bagent alive. I'm still on the Lions -9.5 tho.

Gunpowder

I’m struggling to understand how they lost to the Colts and Browns. For some reason they make every possible little mistake there is to make, they spend entire halves getting sacked and fumbling, and they don't convert third and fourth downs. In that Colts game I think the returner fair caught the ...

Except that in basketball, the defender gives up his position when he leaves his feet. The CB has a right to his space, and if a receiver turns on a dime and creates contact with the CB, why assume it's not offensive pass interference? Because most football games I've seen recently have been tediou...

Why do we blame incompetent defenders rather than incompetent throwers? I cannot stand DPI called on horribly thrown balls.

Maybe playing in Minnesota will unlock something but I just need a little more evidence that he's turned a corner.

Julian Edelman was barely used by the Patriots. Josh Dobbs has started like 8 games this season. He threw some darts in this game and maybe he's the next Geno Smith but he wasn't some secret player who didn't get much of an opportunity. Edelman had 40 targets total in the two final years of his rook...

Thinking Julian Edelman is a star-type player is peak New England. Teams didn't want Hines Ward, I'm not surprised they didn't value poor man's Hines Ward as much as the Patriots did.

I'm watching some highlights and I wouldn't say he's "on time" but he looks a lot more comfortable than I can remember.

TD to Hockenson was definitely nice.

Maybe. Watch the game. On time. Good decisions. Accurate. Escapes. Improvises. And steps in with no practice snaps. Not much more to ask from a backup. Someone should pay the man Watch all the other games. Unless he’s turned a corner today he’s not accurate or on time Got to judge what someone is t...

Another one where the NFL just massively overthought if. CJ Stroud is one of the most accurate qbs to come out in years

That's a tough one. Steelers -3 is my second best bet this week per my numbers but I wouldn't feel confident taking it. Cincy is a good bet IF they are really good again, if not then Houston is a good enough to win that one.

Will Levis (and Lawrence for that matter) might outscore Tua from here until end of season just based on schedule.

Unless its a 2 QB league, trading Kelce for any QB seems like a bad idea. That is correct. Plus both Burrow and Tua have terrible schedules during the fantasy playoff weeks. At least Tua won't be playing in blizzards. I have Tua and Josh Allen and I've been trying to unload Tua for significantly le...
