Yea shitty rules trying to favor false scores...the hollow inflation of scoring literally means nothing to me I mean  people don't tune in to see so many scores based on penalties.

The casual fan wants to see high flying high scoring football. They want to see Pac12 score in the NFL and those are the fans that ultimately drive viewership and revenue.

Do they though? If anything the NFL has a particularly higher level of non casual fans than a lot of other things not just sports either.

I mean the SEC is the most popular league in CFB by a longshot and people constantly poop on Pac12. What it seems to me is like a lot of other things about the NFL and that is they have no fugin clue.

I mean hell, we've got people on here who care more about the game being entertaining than they do about winning.

I think it's pretty dumb myself, but that's just how some people think.

Entertaining and high scoring are two different things.  A tough hard fought low scoring game can be more entertaining than a 49-35 shootout.

Then there shouldn't be any excuses for sam.

What does that have to do with Brady?  Brady is one of the best ever.   If that is our expectation for Sam D, then I think there is a good chance he will fail to meet our expectations.  

Brady is so good at getting the ball out fast and accurate, he makes offensive lines look better than they might otherwise look.  I ready that his average is 2.5 seconds. That is not to say he hasn't had good offensive lines, he has.  But I don't think they were quite as great as some make them out to be.  The reality is that a good qb makes a offensive line look better, and vice versa.

      The Ringer NFC Offseason podcast

      By frankw · Posted

      The division is most certainly wide open. The Bucs are a problem but Baker Mayfield is and will remain his own worst enemy it's a matter of when not if he has a bad game or even a stretch of bad games. As far as the Panthers they have done an admirable job of trying to address needs as best they can without pulling a Scott Fitterer and getting desperate which has only made us worse off in the past. On the Bryce subject all anyone can really say at this point is we just have to wait and see. This is the year and despite what the Panthers may say publicly doubling down and going all in on WR is as good as any sign anyone should need that they expect Bryce Young to have a very productive and convincing season. The pieces are in place. They aren't perfect but nothing ever will be. Regardless there's honestly no excuse for this staff and this team not to be able to compete in this iteration of the NFC South. Also just want to say this because I can say the hyper defensive posts already being made in here and it's probably going to be a season with highs and lows again but hopefully more highs for sure. But just because there is dialogue about a position group or a player that challenges your preconceived notions or makes you uncomfortable does not make it "hate" or "anti" this player or that player. For some people who talk a lot about nuance you would think this wouldn't need to be stated but that's where we're at.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      If I was a coach I would preach "Don't let the refs decide the game" because as soon as you let the NFL the chance to help their bottom dollar whether it be teams that make most money or gambling then they will screw the team that doesn't fit their bottom line......is it rigged? No but do they try and make certain narratives happen abso-freakin-lutley. As I stated in a previous thread NFL players are the ones that SHOULD have all guaranteed contracts but the boot lickers on this forum disagree and argue for the billionaires in this world who own these teams, sheep

      I wont go quite so far as to say games are rigged.  You wouldnt have to work hard to convince me there was the occasional thumb on the scale but outright rigged? nah.   but collusion on the rest of the "business" of football, sure.  No one really believes that the only time the 32 owners act as one is during the negotiations of the CBA do they?
