Would you do this deal?

No deal. If sends the message that we are not sure we can come into your stadium and take care of business, hence needing a forfeit. This would pose a real problem. If we're "skeert" now, what would change come championship time when we'd be on their turf anyway? Skeert now, skeert then. NO DEAL. I say we put a smack down on them NOW; then, if necessary, we SMACK THEM DOWN AGAIN later, just to remove all doubt!

Because its rare, interesting and I think it deserves a mention.

It's not rare. It's impossible. The league would never allow it.

There is a boatload of money bet on these games on a weekly basis. The league won't publicly discuss that, but they know about it. Do you know what kind of storm would hit nationally if, in the midst of all that, teams made a deal to fix a result? You'd have allegations of corruption that would make the brouhaha with Tim Donaghy look like nothing. And at some point, law enforcement and maybe even congress would get involved.

Beyond that, coaches careers can turn in a heartbeat. These guys live or die based on winning games. And that's not even mentioning the players, guys who earn additional game checks based on playoff appearances (and sometimes incentives).

This kind of thing simply does not happen, nor should it.

It was said before but I wasted my time and opened this thread so I am going to reply.

This poo is stoopid. Who the fug sits around all day and thinks of poo like this? Seriously. It is incomprehensible, I cannot imagine how a brain would need to function to allow it to come up with scenarios like this. What the hell man. Transfer this thread to smack or delete it.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
