Pariah Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 What do Dallas Cowboys fans do after their team wins the Super Bowl? Spoiler Turn off their Play Station. Old Man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slikmar Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 After watching some of the games this weekend (Philly comes to mind, but there are others) I think most QBs wish list would include receivers who the ball hits in their hands that can actually catch the ball. I know their offense didnt look great, but Hurts went out of his way in off season to improve his passing and I can think of multiple times in that game that if the receiver/tightend/RB would have just caught the ball that hit them in the hands instead of thinking about what they were going to do after catching it, I think the game would have been closer. Even Kelce, considered one of the top receiving tight ends in football, seems to have developed dropitis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Bucs had half a dozen drops just in the first half. It was a frustrating game to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclevlad Posted January 16 Author Report Share Posted January 16 picks, most confident to least confident... Lions over Bucs. Niners over Packers Ravens over Texans. I'm still not totally sold on Lamar Jackson. Chiefs over Bills. I'm always a bit worried about teams that sat out, at this point...point to the Lions. And the Bucs...the Eagles are no measuring stick now. The first 3 games could all turn into blowouts. Chiefs-Bills...who avoids critical mistakes? Weather forecast is not great...mid teens, but 15-20 mph winds...but could be a WHOLE lot worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Picks in order of descending confidence: Ravens over Texans. Anyone who says otherwise hasn’t seen the Ravens play. Neeners over Packers Lions over Bucs, but only if they play like they want it Erratic Bills over lackluster Chiefs. I want to believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoloOfEarth Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 I have it on good authority the Lions will win. You see... Hell has frozen over (at least for the rest of the week). Old Man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 One Seattle fan's perspective on Pete Carroll's sojourn with the Seahawks I disagree with one subtitle ("The greatest tenure in Seattle sports history") ... the writer is a product of his generation, and too mainstream to have any awareness of soccer, so he omits Lenny Wilkens' Sonics and Don James' Huskies and the brilliant Clint Dempsey/Obafemi Martins Sounders years, but due to his callow youth I'll forgive him. He does convey the seething underlying rage of all fans here in South Alaska at how the city, its teams, and its fans are invariably dismissed by media in the rest of the country, a burning anger that makes us watch the gif of Kam Chancellor annihilating Vernon Davis raptly, wishing only that a couple of vital organs had gone bouncing away along with the football. Lots of gifs (several from SB XLVIII, beware). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclevlad Posted January 18 Author Report Share Posted January 18 Good news! Cowboys decide to stick with McCarthy. Now we know we won't have to listen to the hype for long, come next season's playoffs. Also wouldn't be surprised if they actually have some bad luck with injuries and such...and don't even make the playoffs. They have 9 Pro Bowlers this year. They'll have a division winner's schedule, which is a bit tougher. They get AFC North...physical games, if nothing else, plus the Lions and Niners.

Pariah Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 Don't look now, but it appears that the Raiders may have done something not entirely boneheaded. Raiders hiring Antonio Pierce as full-time head coach; went 5-4 after replacing Josh McDaniels Good for them. The dude has definitely earned it.

Pariah Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 I saw a graphic the other day pointing out that seven of the eight starting quarterbacks this weekend were drafted in the first round. And then there's Brock Purdy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclevlad Posted January 20 Author Report Share Posted January 20 mmm...not looking good for Houston. I have a hard time thinking they'll get a lot better on offense, so down 7 now...even mid 2nd...they needed the lead, IMO. Ravens will score some more...maybe not a lot, but enough to keep it out of fluke-play territory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclevlad Posted January 21 Author Report Share Posted January 21 ESPN bottom line says Mike McCarthy isn't getting an extension, so he'll be coaching on an expiring contract. So...what, conference championship game or bust, right? And definitely #1 on the Hot Seat Parade, albeit not necessarily for the regular season...

unclevlad Posted January 21 Author Report Share Posted January 21 Hooooollly close shave, Batman!!!!! Love has a very good game overall, but breaks every rule of QB play at the end, Niners *escape*. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 Yeah that missed FG earlier was crucial too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grailknight Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 More important was the 3rd and 2 before the miss. Love could have run for it or taken his time and hit Jones for the first down. He couldn't decide and ended up with an off balance incompletion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 Cue conspiracy theorist nutjobs complaining on social media about how the NFL scripted San Francisco's comeback win in three ... two ... one ... I feel like Niners - Packers could become a great rivalry in the coming years, something like Chiefs - Bills in the AFC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
