Well, I mean it's Hubert... Anyone expecting that part to change is in for disappointment.

No, I definitely picked up on the dumbness. LOL

You might be dumb. 26-7 with Forte became 8-20 without Forte.

Stupid is rewarding no effort with playing time. If you don't wanna play hard, take a seat.

Too many? Hell, I would've played the damn walk ons tonight. I would've found somebody on that bench that wanted to play hard.

You expect a bit of a hangover after a game like that but tonight level of effort was just embarrassingly pathetic. They just flat put won on pure effort. Out-rebounded, doubled up at the FT line, damn near doubled up on points in the paint, gave up an entire season's worth of alley-oops in one game, never led once, and if they kept a loose balls state I bet they outdid us 5:1. Losing a game because the other team just flat put worked circles around you just isn't acceptable.

Howell is obviously my preference but I wouldn't mind Mariota or Trubisky if we want to go the more established vet backup type guy. We just have to realize that we need to sign someone who might make Bryce look bad in camp by comparison. It is what it is.

It came dangerously close to cashing out. LOL

Yeah, the thing with Darnold is he definitely has that ability to spiral. If things go poorly for him early oh boy, look out. It could be one of "those days". One of his first throws of the game very easily could've been a pick six. If that had gone down it might've been interesting. At some point, the Pats may have gotten a running game going but they failed to early and got in a situation where they had to start chasing points and had to abandon the run.

And Sam made some throws early on where he could have. LOL

Saints? Super Bowl? Just can't see that happening. But, I would've said the same thing about the Seahawks and definitely the Patriots this time last year too.

It has GOT to be awkward in that Vikings front office right now. You won 14 games with Darnold just to let him walk to hand the reins over to McCarthy who looked like absolute trash while Darnold turns around and wins the SB. Oof. Everyone clowns on the Jets and Panthers for the Darnold stuff but he didn't play well at those stops. He DID play well for the Vikings. The Jets and Panthers decided to move on from a bust that wasn't working out. The Vikings decided to move on from a guy who was playing at a legit good starting QB level to go with the guy they drafted to be their future. They're the ones who made the bold move with Darnold. The Jets and Panthers did what pretty much every team would do in that situation. Yeah, they failed organizationally around Darnold but they didn't choose to move on from a good QB.

The difference was the SB MVP. I said it before halftime. The difference in that game was that Seattle had Kenneth Walker III and New England didn’t. That was the difference. Seattle established a strong rushing attack and New England couldnt run the ball. With no rushing attack to respect their pass rush was able to just tee off against an overmatched OL.

Nope. Don't do that. We need an infusion of talent, not going all in one prospect. Especially a pass rusher. We already drafted two in the 2nd last year and they usually take 2-3 years of development. We should honestly try to add an impact vet there in free agent and focus elsewhere in the draft. We don't need more young developmental talent there. We have that. We need someone who can step in and add an impact day one.

But evidently the Raiders want a Micah Parsons caliber trade package for him. Now of course that's what they're going to say to open up the bidding but I can't see them coming close to that. One, Crosby is damn good but he's not Micah Parsons. Two, Parsons is two years younger. He had just turned 26 at the time he was traded. Crosby will have just turned 29 at the start of next season. That's a significant difference. Barring injury issues, Crosby should still have a few years of high level play left but you're talking about trading for a player on track to be a first ballot HOFer in the middle of his prime years versus trading for a player on track to potentially be in the HOF discussion toward the end of his prime years. I just can't see Crosby fetching them a Parsons type package. Considerably less. If the Raiders stick to that Parsons precedent this is gonna get ugly.

I suspect Rodgers is gonna run it back one more time with McCarthy in Pittsburgh but we'll see.

My guess would be the Jets or Dolphins

He looks washed and seems like an entitled dickhead. Kinda the opposite of what I'm looking for.

It came out after the game that he had to have an pain killer injection in his shoulder before the game. Seems like even more of a reason to put him on the move but I don't know. Maybe his ability to throw on the run was impacted? Surely there had to be some underlying reason why they never rolled the pocket and put him on the move. They can't be that hard headed and/or dumb, right?

Seriously. The team that let Geno walk won the SB. The team that brought Geno in to start is picking #1 overall in the draft. I mean... damn. That's amazing. LOL *Oops, saw someone above was already ahead of me on that.

Hide? The Pats did a terrible job of leaving Maye hung out to dry behind an OL that absolutely could not protect. They had a mobile QB and just ran vanilla drop back after vanilla drop back. No QB has ever been pressured or sacked as many times during a playoff run as Maye did this year. Will Campbell individually gave up the most pressures last night that were allowed by a single OL in any game played this year and the most in a playoff game since 2018. What you saw last night was the worst coaching negligence seen in a Super Bowl since Mike Shula in SB50.

Who the hell cares about the dueling halftime shows? LOL Just a microcosm of the divisiveness being pushed on us by the media and politicians that's destroying our society.

I'll never forget that Broncos defender who was interviewed after the game and was just bewildered that we literally showed them nothing during the game that they hadn't seen a thousand times on tape. He was just in shock that we literally changed nothing. Didn't tweak formations, just nothing. They were ready for everything because they'd already seen it all.

It really does feel like the Bills blew a golden opportunity this year. No Chiefs, no Ravens, a #1 seed that won a ton of close games that could've easily have had double the losses they actually did. A #2 seed with no OL. The Jags at #3. I mean, c'mon... this was the year it just laid out perfectly for them.

Yeah, not rolling the pocket and putting Maye on the move away from that left side that was just getting destroyed was completely negligent coaching. Shula in SB50 level terrible.
