Intresting that there are two lineman rushing there. I know guys practice two minute offense and probably see lots of coverage but maybe not the simplest read there. Doubt it looked like that at the snap but dont recall the play Remember when you said all QBs should just watch film and become maste...

Looking at it again I have no idea what the plan was for the backside WRs on the 3rd and 2. It's almost like the top of the field was designed to beat man defense and the bottom half zone. Doesn't sound like something that most teams do but the open WR is still there and he's staring right at him bu...

The main issue right now is having any faith in Mitch Trubisky. I don't really care what your gameplan is, Mitch Trubisky will not execute it. I don't know why Tomlin continues to employ Trubisky. I agree. Except then, what the fuck were they thinking on those last two plays? It's a drive you HAVE ...

My thought process going into this week: "Hrmm, Ok, Kyren is an auto-start, but who else am I starting? ... Fucking Ekeler again? ... Jesus. Ok, my bench has Cook against KC or Walker III coming back from injury against San Fran. ... Neither of those are appetizing. ... Wait, I just got a push...

Only Shirley and BSF now. A little pregame side question: The hockey penalty database has 8 different calls that were only made one time in this window. One of them was for a coach or manager on the ice and one of them was for a player leaving the penalty box. Can you name either one? (I'm only ask...

Congrats GPJ! Better late than never. (I can't believe you're 40 now.) This is messing with my head. When I went out drinking with GPJ and his friends, I was 33 with a 3 yo and an infant.

Wow, that's great! Can't wait for GPJ to drop an album about changing diapers and strapping on a Baby Bjorn.
That's the baby's rap name.

Anyhoo, Congrats GPJ! Are there names picked out yet?

Yep, her name's gonna be Liana.

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".

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.

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

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.

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.

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?
