This is so dumb. Going to be the most 10-7 team of all-time. Watching Russ try and suck up to Steelers fans in his genuinely weird way is gonna be so fun. Can't wait for his first IG post where Mr. Limited reassures them that everything will be fine. Hope he guarantees "a winning record"....

This is so dumb. Going to be the most 10-7 team of all-time. Get Russell Wilson and these motherfuckers run out here guaranteeing 3 games over .500. They've been drafting in the 20s for two decades. It's why they are in this current purgatory of not good and not bad. Steelers over 8.5 wins or whate...

One of the best Bears passing seasaons ever was a random year of Erik Kramer.

Thought it was indicative of the pats failures that Stanley Morgan still leads in all time receiving with 10,000. Turns out someone named Johnny Morris leads the Bears in all time receiving in the 50-60s with barely 5,000. Yuk Check out the Bears all-time QB leaderboards, they are absolutely hilari...

I don’t know how many teams this would make this claim, especially one that’s over 90 years old like the Eagles, but two of their top ten players all time are centers, including arguably its best all time. I believe 2 of the top 6 Steelers in PFR's Hall of Fame monitor score are centers (1st and 3r...

2024 Russell Wilson is exhibit A in the argument against box score scouting. Him and Derek Carr put up twin masterpieces in 2023.

What if he's bad now and miserable or tedious to be around and a huge dork? He’s still probably league-average at worst but yeah this seems like a situation where he and Payton didn’t mesh and Payton won the power struggle. He refuses to run an offense or pass up an easy 8 yard gain on 3rd and 13, ...

Brad Holmes absolutely let the media have it on Monday at his year-end presser for criticism of taking Sewell over a QB in 2021 and Gibbs and Laporta too high (amongst other receipts he brought) and I’m here for it. The Sewell pick was almost universally praised and LaPorta was considered a fringe ...

Am I the only Crasher to miss himself as a correct answer? I like to think I'll hold that honor for quite a while. For the record I was pretty certain I was a correct answer but thought rballer was correct and would be guessed less. Think I overestimated my popularity. I would have bet money that R...

If there's issues with the spreadsheet I can send you one that I've tweaked that works pretty well

Not sure it offsets the percentages but defense is called differently trying to prevent all points on 3rd possession. Defense is first stop run and don't get beat deep. Not the priorities. Anything to get ahead of downs and get a stop. Probably punt to 4th possession inside own 40 if 4th and 4+ Sto...

This is surreal. I went my entire life through the 2018 season thinking they'd never win the Super Bowl and then ... this. So prior to 2018, you were unaware of Superbowl I or IV?

The 20-QUESTION Swamper Bowl might kick off Monday, but it might not! If someone else wants to run a Pro Bowl next week instead, I wouldn't be against it. Just don't steal my slideshow question on the 5th largest cities of Oceania. I assume this is the GPJ-signal https://i.imgur.com/LFOO8b9.jpeg

I had no idea Todd Blackledge was an announcer until the Browns/Texans game. He was pointless.
you never heard him on a college game over the last 20 years?

I don't watch much college football and when I have heard one of his games I probably didn't realize who it was.

How do you guys rank Aikman? I think he's been good this year and he's good with Buck obviously. And he's not afraid to be negative and rip guys, like how he ripped Zach Wilson. I used to hate Aikman, but he's now one of my favourites - her and Buck are a great team. Romo is still okay, and while h...

So what to do with Goff? He's not going to play another down without guaranteed money. Keep him or move on? Go with Hooker? Go after someone like Cousins? Goff has that fanbase believing in a QB in a way Detroit hasn't since Bobby freakin Layne. He's getting paid. Also there’s no one better out the...

Gould was 85% from all distances over the last three seasons (66/78). Jake Moody was 80% as his replacement (24/30). Jake Moody would probably have the same percentage if he got as many 25 yard attempts as Gould did. I doubt they are even attempting a 50+ yard kick in the rain with 2023 Robbie Gould.

Guys, I highly doubt the Ravens gameplan was to not run the ball. Finite amount of plays in a football game and that number tends to get smaller when you don't have the ball. SIX carries by running backs. Did they only have 15 total offensive plays? Probably not, but beyond just getting first downs...

Dan Reeves possibly though I guess it's easy to argue Shanahan was better in Denver.

You could maybe make an argument for Dick Vermeil? Probably not but maybe.

I read that Campbell has evolved and I believe it, and that is probably the number 1 good sign for your coaching staff.

But damned if every time I really watch this team they aren't doing baffling shit.

Congrats Bronto. Stupid penalties. Best running team in the league ran the ball 16 times. Frustrating. This was one of the dumbest gameplans I have seen in some time. Defense bringing the house, so let's run three routes all 20 yards down field. Defensively I'm not sure if they adjusted or if Andy ...

(I'm currently taking a three-week-long seminar from Rutgers, and they've mentioned this fact multiple times.)

Sounds like it's more of an opinion from Rutgers, because while it was formed prior to the answer I'm seeking, it did not become a land-grant school until the 1860s.

It's not the answer I was looking for, it it does count it's ambiguous as to whether it would be the first. So I'm gonna say no.

I guess the Federal Government can't really grant itself land?
