I remember just waiting breathlessly until Thursday nights as a kid to watch Len Dawson and Nic Buonocoti(sp) dissect the games back in the early 80s. That NFL Films footage and the fantastic soundtrack and voiceovers... man it just made the game greater than it was.

Hate to see the show has become orphaned again and that it has gotten worse for the wear.

Yeah since leaving HBO, it has been garbage.

 

HBO is losing ground…I personally can’t find a reason to keep that sub since Game  of Thrones.  They didn’t plan well.  Flat out quit watching Last of Us.  Too boring

Inside the NFL back in the day was the greatest show ever.  Man that was the glory days for HBO.  NFL films footage is an American icon of sports,  damn so great.  I can hear the soundtrack in my head even now, so amazing

I love all the murder mystery mini series they do. There’s another true detective coming too. Succession and Industry are great. Then all the classics like Sopranos or The Wire 

I get it free with AT&T so that helps.

Barry last season starts this week.

Tons of good originals on HBOmax

But can't see Warner/Discovery getting into the NFL game these days. While it is an inexpensive show to put together vs other productions... don't know if they'll feel it's time to bring it back.

Could see Amazon making a play, to supplement TNF. Or maybe Peacock, because they could pair it back up with Collingsworth.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
