When Romo said “it definitely moved” like 3 or 4 times, was he talking about the ball, or...?

The ball that was bobbled once the receiver hit the ground a couple plays before the TD would've been ruled incomplete for pretty much every other team in the NFL. He may well have caught the ball..But the onus should've been placed on the Pats to challenge, as it would've been for all 31 other teams.

The Pats are on a run of officiating hand-jobs that would embarrass anyone except for their Machiavellian, douchebag, sycophantic fan base.

It's the nicest way the league can make amends, frankly. I don't mind it.

I'll believe it all if the Eagles get every call in the Super Bowl.

Alex Smith to the Washington football team. Mahomes era to start in KC. Cousins definitely going somewhere this off season.

I really think Cousins will be in Denver if they can find the cap room to sign him.

I dunno. Coming off an Achilles tear and being a basketball player I just don't see it.

Cousins’ free agent deal is going to be insane. I think he’s a little overrated but QBs of his caliber still don’t hit free agency.

Posted: **Wed Jan 31, 2018 7:10 am**

Do you think DC did this at the same time as the State of the Nation on purpose? Seems like a good way to minimize the media for the broader DC area.

And Smith gets a big extension. Wow.

That's the going rate for a mid-table 34 year old QB, than a slightly worse 30 year old QB is going to break the bank. I don't follow the Redskins closely, and only see Cousins 2-4 times a year, but I have never felt that he is a real difference maker.

Posted: **Wed Jan 31, 2018 8:56 am**

I think cousins has done remarkably well without a great offense around him. I'd take him on the browns at the right price. But I imagine he will want to go somewhere where the prospect of winning seems clearer.

The Chiefs got a third-round pick and Kendall Fuller, who graded out as PFF's No. 2 slot CB in 2017.

Alex Smith gets $71M in guarantees, second-most in NFL history.

Washington continues to be insane.

Is that kinda like the No. 2 ranked fifth starter? Get that those guys maybe need to be quicker than fast and tough enough to fight through picks but mostly a slot corner is a guy that couldn't hack it outside.

Posted: **Wed Jan 31, 2018 9:46 am**

They're on the field all the time and it's a [neeson] different set of skills [/neeson]. Wes Welker couldn't hack it outside either.

you may want to do some reading on the evolution of offenses

Posted: **Wed Jan 31, 2018 9:59 am**

I take Troy Brown all day but they get paid like that for a reason, cause the skill sets aren't unique. Edelman was pretty much left on a scrap heap in free agency. To a lesser extent Welker before and after the Pats.

Posted: **Wed Jan 31, 2018 10:02 am**

No thanks. I'll just watch football. Totally aside from what I think, let's let the GMs cap allocation speak for itself in free agency. Maybe compare cover lb or big cb to slot corners and see whose right.

Posted: **Wed Jan 31, 2018 10:02 am**

the most boston response ever

which is why a top CB on a rookie deal plus a top-100 pick for a replaceable QB with a $17M cap hit is a hell of deal

The pass rush deservedly got a lot of credit but a big part of Denver beating the Patriots a couple years ago was that they had enough CB depth to guard the slot guys. That would seem to be a more timely example than Troy Brown.

Was not sure if this goes here or the TV thread but Cletus and the boys at Fox picked up a 5 year deal on Thursday night football.

WSJ" wrote:Under the terms of the agreement, Fox is paying about $660 million on average per season, people familiar with the deal said, a 47% jump from the combined $450 million that current rights holders NBC and CBS paid to share the package this past season. The NBC and CBS shared deal was for one season only.

RBC Capital Markets analyst Steven Cahall said in a report that Fox is likely to lose about $360 million a year on the Thursday package. He estimated that CBS and NBC were probably losing $200 million.

Still, Mr. Cahall said the “play here is strategic” as Fox moves away from entertainment programming yet tries to maintain a strong position to negotiate carriage fees from pay-TV distributors and its broadcast affiliates.

I have a feeling these NFL TV rights are like a Ponzi scheme and the network that gets their money out first is going to be the "winner".

The series of tweets was pretty great though.

In addition, he might have had second thoughts about working for Jim Irsay. (Florio had mentioned that previously.)

Posted: **Tue Feb 06, 2018 8:25 pm**

He'd be crazy if he didn't. Bad ownership has to be #2 after crappy QBs in terms of job evaluation red flags.

Posted: **Tue Feb 06, 2018 8:30 pm**

Haha holy shit

e: They took it down, but the Colts had put up a tweet that was just a picture of a visor with the caption IT'S VISOR SEASON
