I curse his name.

Yeah. But Goodell comes out with plans for a Flag Football version of it.

He only cooked like once though, really cooked. He did the minimum ‘good’ in a couple of others. He hasn’t maintained that, or maybe I should say carried it over and built on it. Which is what you want to see. He is just too limited athletically to unlock a pro passing offense. IMO. So you have to settle and compensate. It is nice to win some games and feel better on Sundays. For sure. Edit: PS, on Darnold… where do you think this team would be now with him taking the reins? So maybe he doesn’t have it to win the Super Bowl but he can walk you into the division title pretty much. Getting rid of a guy like that (which Minnesota did) is about like Snyder firing Marty Schottiemer (sp?) or maybe is was San Diego, after a 14-2 season because he lost in the playoffs.

Especially working around this QB. Dan and Tillis and their new analytic people may have crushed this last draft. Dan and Tillis seem to be very shrewd with their negations with other teams in the trade department. I am happy for Morgan if this pans out, it has to be his dream job. And happy for us in that situation. Canales is learning, give him a couple of more seasons and maybe he is caught up to where he aspires to be. He is doing a great job hiding Bryce, still has some miscues but even the really veteran coaches still have those sometimes.

Our turn to avoid a trap game.

I always liked his insight, not just because this time it supports my opinion. He is just really good. The thing about him and Ross Tucker, I have listened to the last two weeks and their preview and analysis is unfocused, and was over before they gave me any real insight into what had happened or what they were predicting would happen. The Green Bay segment prior to the game was a blurb on Jordan Love and then it was over. Never really addressed the contest that was looming. PS I cut my cable and am anti Disney/ESPN but I really miss NFL Matchup. What a good show. They relegated it to 3am Sunday morning and it was hard to find but it was quality.

That’s funny. Especially that guys face as they are ‘escorting’ him off the field. I didn’t think Miller was really that horrible on MNF but have seen some YouTube clips recently and he was a product of his time for sure. Too acerbic for me, in places.

I am sorry but I think Hunt is overrated. Seen him get pushed around. No one that makes that kind of money should be getting pushed around. Not saying he is not good, saying he isn’t playing up to his contract. Or wasn’t when healthy. I guess we paid the suck tax to him. I don’t want him gone or anything and it would for sure be better if he were healthy and contributing, just saying.

That alter ego crap, he can keep. But man, Bryce is a low bar to beat.

The CBA is like the devil relative to the quality of football we are given to consume. 100% killing the goose that laid the golden egg. And there is for sure something to CRA’s claim of the simplification of the modern offense. And it originated in college and they did not service the NFL’s need for a training ground. I maintain that an NFL Europe, wherever it were to be located, was essential to keeping the pipeline of NFL ready players flowing. Greed killed it. Now they are going to further pussify the leagues with NFL flag football. Rather than a true minor league system that will produce replacement players

Plus, we have been waiting on his chunk plays since September 2023. In three years you could probably count them on your fingers and toes. Maybe that is a bit too conservative but I wouldn’t be that surprised. And there just aren’t nearly enough actual deep balls, forget the modern definition. If Canales can get this offense through this upcoming stretch of games while imposing the kind of limitation we saw last week he deserves a lot of credit.

Right now maybe. But is it really worth locking in for two more years, or three more without seeing more?

And Tarkenton in particular played in an ancient era by today’s standards. The linemen were smaller and slower too. On average. The game wasn’t as fast, front to back. IMO anyway. I don’t think he could play today, the way he was known for playing back then. One thing, when they did catch you they could hurt you then with no penalty. You had to be really tough to play QB in those days.

Yeah. He talked about using him that way and I forget the term. Maybe nickel LB? Ike have to watch it again. If you look at the video it is maybe 2/3 through where talks about him and also CSW.

Evero was highly complimentary. He gave a presser about the Saints game and got pretty detailed about it. Said he was using him in all kinds different roles and he was handling them. And studies hard.

Got a good laugh out of it.

And Jeff George’s teammates hated him. (And I was talking about elsewhere, if we were to be out. Implies he didn’t finish much different than he has shown) Yeah I mentioned that teammate emotional barometer in a post yesterday I think. (Oh hell right there in the post you answered lol.) That is something. One hopes they can remember it’s a business and accept change if it comes. And I hope Morgan and Canales and Tepper all of them don’t overestimate that if he doesn’t pick it up because feeling is not a good enough reason in my book when you talk big money extension.

And has certainly been done against us enough times.

Did he get a game winning drive?

And Morgan at MLB when he stayed healthy, was a beast. Something like 25 tackles in that Super Bowl I think. I know the younger people are all about Cam and 2015 but that 2003 was my favorite year. It came out of nowhere which made it kind of magical.

It has been the same thing all along. Like Greg Cosell said every once in a while he makes some nice throws. But that's the extent of it. He is limited, the staff has to work around it, here we are.

We could probably pull someone off the couch to do what Bryce is doing plus add a couple more things to the playbook. That was a crazy year.

Yeah somebody will pay him. You can’t look at what he is doing and not want that foryour backfield.

Off the couch.

We really need Bryce to get a few chances with it on his shoulders. It may be the only way we can get a new QB (More likely). Or maybe find out we have one (Less likely).
