Read this earlier this afternoon around lunch time...

Giants' GM screwed the pooch, Coughlin is pissed. In the end the Giants are up 2 Superbowls to 0.

Coughlin is laughing regardless

Edit: only reason this was even a story is because the Pats did it... And no we don't need to take notes on claiming a player that won't play at all this year... and who has multiple leg injuries. Pats did this just to piss of Giants. No big deal, and it's obvious

Perhaps the story is just that more intriguing because it's the "friggin Pats", but I believe it would have made the headlines regardless. Moreover, claiming a player who has flashed above average potential, regardless if he is hurt or not, is a shrewd move. Depending on the players perceived value, you just can't say "Don't touch him because he's hurt for the year." Everything has to be a sober minded calculation.

Why didn't we put in a claim?

Continuing from my preceding statement: Perhaps in our FO's estimation, we just can't take the risk, or we just don't need to sit on Ballard for a year due to our own specific needs and/or circumstances.

In any event, this story just amuses the hell out of me. It's a fresh aside to the Saints*' soap opera which is getting kinda stale.

      Okay, now face the facta guyd

      No, it will be a raw 6'7" 17-year-old European who just played basketball for the first time in March and who the idiot GM "had first on our board." He'll play the whole G-League season, get in 42 games for the Hornets and average 1.1 ppg on 35% shooting. Been there, seen that.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      We missed on Burns at his peak value. That’s the problem with trading for picks 2-3 years away (which people were convinced the Rams would suck by now and these would be higher picks btw). Each year away the pick is the further in value it drops. Fitt was clearly hired based on turning us around quickly. It’s one of the many reasons tanking isn’t really a thing as our player JJ is telling you in this original article. It would take the whole organization from the owners down admitting they aren’t winning soon with Burns and picks 2-3 years away having more value because that’s when we are still rebuilding. It would only make sense if Fitt had a longer leash and would more than likely be the ones making these picks anyway which you wouldn’t want. The question is would you rather have those Rams picks with the strong possibility of Fitt still being here or would you rather Fitt try to “win now” like he did and expedite his firing? Altering the timeline would affect more than just the Rams picks.

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      By HaricotVert · Posted

      I dont buy the idea that it would create more competitive games Given this: Seed Current Format Record Proposed Open Seeding Record 1 Lions 15–2 Lions 15–2 2 Eagles 14–3 Eagles 14–3 3 Buccaneers 10–7 Vikings 14–3 4 Rams 10–7 Commanders 12–5 5 Vikings 14–3 Rams 10–7 6 Commanders 12–5 Buccaneers 10–7 7 Packers 11–6 Packers 11–6 That would mean Wild Card round would have been Eagles (14/3) v  Pack(11/6) Vikings(14/3) v Bucs(10/7) Commanders(12/5) v Rams(10/7) Instead of Eagles (14/3) v  Pack(11/6) Bucs(10/7) v Commanders(12/5) Rams(10/7) v Vikings(14/3) Then with the reseed it would mean that highest remaining seed would always draw the lowest remaining team.
