    Florio and Chris Simms

    its an interesting prediction. It will be interesting to see if you nailed it. resume this convo in a couple years?

    Florio and Chris Simms

    I actually thought he was ok. hes knowledgeable about the sport in a way nobody else is. hes got his quirks but so does everyone. Lots of commentators and play by play guys start their first year sounding like this and they get better as they go. I doubt that Brady is any different. if he sticks with it I think he will be good at this. but I suspect hes got other things in mind for himself.

    Patriot WR's?

    I agree. if any WR on this roster is worth anything it is likely Douglas. hes probably a WR2 but wont put up WR2 numbers until they get a true WR1. Right now I think hes getting the other teams best corner and hes not able to put up the numbers he should because of this. if he has a true WR1 on the roster who takes the other teams top cover guy, I could see him topping out at 8-900 yards a season. Admittedly it could be 2 years down the road until we see this(possibly 3) so I wouldnt get too excited.

    2025 QB Draft Class

    well, the top 3, Tennessee, Cleveland and New York desperately need a QB. yes, if you dont believe in the guy at #1 of course you look to see if there are any good trade back options. Tennessee has enough holes in their lineup that if a team picking in the top 10 offers 2 number 1 picks and 2 number 2's I think you need to at least consider the offer. I dont think this is a situation where one player will turn this franchise around. Honestly Cleveland had the right idea in stocking up on #1 picks until they shot themselves in the foot with the Desean Watson signing. if they signed a QB who could play, they might still be a playoff contender.

    Super Bowl LIX: Chiefs v Eagles

    in the past, Mahomes has been able to step up his play to get away from the rush so I think if there was one fault it was that Reid believed in his guy. its also a case where if you use another TE to block, the other side can rush with another person so its not always as easy as that. but the 'chip' block from the TE or the RB as they leave to go out for a pass certainly could have been done more often to assist the Tackles. in the end, it was mostly an inability to protect Mahomes and solid coverage that really made the sledding tough for the KC offense. You also need to give credit to Philly. They had a good game plan and they executed.

    Bears Hire Ben Johnson as HC

    has he announced who his staff will be yet?

    Kadarius Toney

    with Desean Watson as a role model this should not be surprising. His career was likely over anyhow. this just guarantees he wont come back.

    Saquon Barkley

    maybe. hard to say how the bottom of the lineup changes. bottom of the lineup tends to be more fluid. if he passes him on the depth chart then yeah, no value. but this discussion is based on the current depth chart. I think its obvious that Gainwell becomes valueless if hes drops to #3 or #4 on the depth chart in Philly. As it is now, he only has value when Sequon is hurt. if this development actually happens than Shipley becomes the back to own.

    Saquon Barkley

    I dont know about that. The Eagles O line is good enough that I do think Gainwell would be an adequate fill in. I wouldnt expect RB1 numbers, but low to mid range RB2 numbers is likely something I'd expect from him until Sequon returns. hes a good handcuff who really only has value to the Sequon owner and will only put up reliable stats while Sequon is injured. In a deeper league hes likely ok to roster as a handcuff on your bench as your RB4. but hes not a keeper in any format and should not be drafted until most of the legitimate RB3's are off the board.

    Super Bowl LIX: Chiefs v Eagles

    I saw early that this would be a different game than the previous meeting between these two teams a couple years ago in the superbowl. one thing I noticed is that in the previous superbowl, the KC passrush pushed up a wall to the right side of Hurts, forcing him to run to the left. That was significant because Hurts is not nearly as effective rolling to the left as he is when he rolls to the right. in this game they were not able to do that. I'll call this the Barkley effect but it could just be better line play(or possibly a bit of both). My belief is that by playing that strategy in this game, it would make it harder for them to control Barkley at the LOS. so I noticed Hurts was rolling to the right on numerous occasions throughout the game. Something that rarely happened the previous time these teams met at Superbowl. so from that perspective, the Eagles had too much to contain. Chiefs elected to stop the ground game, and while a noble cause, and they were able to mostly contain him, they were not able to contain the rest of that offense. I was a bit surprised to see how badly the Chiefs line was manhandled in this game too. Normally the line has been pretty good. but that was the story. They gave Hurts the most outstanding player, but for me the unsung heros were the players on both sides of the line that won the battle in the trenches for Philly

    Super Bowl LIX: Chiefs v Eagles

    this was an old fashioned curb stomping. the Iggles fully controlled the line of scrimmage and that has largely been the difference

    Super Bowl LIX: Chiefs v Eagles

    wow, world class drop from Hopkins here just before half time
  14. well, this is 100% on the browns. they knew there were issues with this massage gate when they signed him in the first place. you would think that this would deter them from doing a long term deal. but clearly not. and as with more serious off field issues it inevitably affected him on the field (my opinion) and now everyone is regretting the contract (except maybe Desean because hes getting paid)
  15. I suppose it depends who you talk to. all I said is hes a better QB than Desean Watson. I never said he was better at molesting the hired help. I do agree we need to keep this in perspective until all the facts are out. if hes guilty I look forward to a lot of funny jokes and hopefully a conviction of sorts. if hes not guilty.... hopefully they properly clear his name.
