Re: NFL 2024 Offseason
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...

Re: The Super Bowl 2024
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...

Re: NFL Conference Championships week
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.

Re: NFL Conference Championships week
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...
