The thing with Brock is that he is 100% getting penalized due to our weapons on offense. But during our 3 game losing streak when we didn't have Deebo and Trent, and CMC couldn't get going rushing, he looked VERY much average.

Believe that is what will hurt him.

For me:

Lamar
Reek
CMC
Brock

Exactly. If he was balling without them thrn it would be pretty clear. He had 6 turnovers in that span and theee losses

1. Sean Payton is done with Russ and want him traded in the offseason

Will replace him with Easton Stick and fill the Skill Positions and O-Line with "Random #s" :whew:

5. Falcons should can arthur smith this week

:whoa:

Only if they replace him with Adam BASE :mjlit:

Or Rich Kotite :lolbron:

Hell, they can have Stinky (and Sid) for free. :mjlol: :laff:

He needs to be benched. Give Richie James his snaps and sign Jarvis Landry plus Zach Ertz. The front office already put a terrible WR group of there but their refusal to make any attempt to fix it is even worse.
I cant recall ever seeing this many picks that were in the recievers hands first. Nobody can hold on to the ball...even after they actually do catch it. Those stats listed during the game were :dead:

Near the bottom of the league in drops, contested catches, and offensive penalties :francis:. This shyt is disrespectful to Mahomes and that defense.

We learned again that Parsons is light in the ass and can be dominated in the run game to point of looking like he wants no part of taking on blocks. He's too small to hold up against meat grinder type teams.


Maybe @Rhakim will come through with another post about how Parsons is bigger, faster, stronger than all the 90's/early 2000's NFL OLB's (which is a lie) and bless us with his complete lack of football acumen once again...

He's giving terrible football takes now? :dead:

:heh: If Pollard was worth of being the focus of their offense he would be. The ball in Dak's hands gives them the best chance of winning.

Pollard obviously got overrated because Zeke was washed last year so of course Pollard looked better compared to him in a secondary role which is really Pollard's ceiling as far as I can tell. That man is averaging 4.1 YPC, fukk you wanna make that the centerpiece of your offense for?

Tony Pollard is 7th in the league in attempts. How much more featured would you like a running back with that YPC to be?
I don't think Pollard is a feature back but McCarthy isn't using him properly either, how many times have I seen him running between the tackles when he's not that sort of guy? Get him the ball on the edge and in space, he'd be a lot more effective. If they were gonna use him like this you might as well have brought Zeke back for short money and done a 60/40 split

Gibbs is gonna be the best RB in the league very soon.

Crazy how Purdy gets flack for his weapons but Burrow is praised as elite when he has the best WRs in the game.

As far as the Burrow point, it was clear as day that Cincy had them one right out the gate. The wins weren't there, but you could tell what the deal was with him. Having Chase, Higgins, Boyd, Mixon, etc. absolutely helps, but Burrow led that team to the doorstep of the Lombardi with quite literally no OL. We've seen Burrow win games without Chase/Higgins, etc.

Purdy gets flack because Kyle Shanahan has proven that most any QB in his system with a certain set of traits can look worth a damn and secondly, the small sample size we saw of Purdy without his full complement of weapons/pieces did not do him any favors as far as him being that guy.


As far as what was learned:

- Baker Mayfield has quietly shown that perhaps he can hold it down in Tampa Bay for the next 4-6 years.
- The Browns are dangerous, but if Buffalo continues to give a damn about running the ball, they will be the last team folks want to see in the playoffs
- The Falcons are being wasted. To have the talent they have all on rookie contracts for it to look like this is saddening. Arthur Smith might have to go.
- I realize that if Detroit wins 12 games or so, Dan Campbell might be hard-pressed to lose Coach of the Year (and he'd be deserving), but Demeco Ryans is my pick for NFL Coach of the Year.

TYRONE GA!
And the Jags gonna say "Ok, we'll franchise him for two years". If Baltimore can play hardball with Lamar, Jacksonville will absolutely play hardball with fukking Lawrence :heh:

They'd be insane not to
he white tho :francis:

Much higher chance they give him what he wants with no major pushback.

THIS. James is COOKIN' ( pun intended :pachaha:)

You would think they beat the Chargers and Pats the next two weeks setting up a big last game of the year vs Miami. I don't think they break a tie with any of the other 8-6 teams so they're basically in playoff mode right now, they can't lose a game

It wasn't even a "take", it was just a plain fact. The dumbass doesn't believe that football players are significantly heavier and faster than they were 30 years ago, and didn't think today's backers could make it back then. He was making up this bullshyt about linebackers being smaller because they have to play coverage more and shyt due to passing focus, when all you have to do is look at the fukking listed heights and weights on the roster and see their 40 numbers from the combine and it's easy to prove that linebackers are bigger AND faster than they were 30 years ago.

And our argument was back in September but got him so in his feelings he randomly decided to @ me about it again today. :mjlol:

I don't think they'll make a huge run but they've got the #1 defense in the NFL and defense travels.

They've gotta win the AFCN to get a playoff game at home where they're 7-1. If they get past that game, who knows? Would it shock me if you told me in a month they were playing in the AFCCG? Not really.
