Just got to shake that Guard tree every now and again

I expect some Drop Off - maybe even a good amount of Drop Off in the Splash plays.

I don't expect killer mistakes though.

The first games bring the rating down massively. If Caleb maintains this good level, he will work his way up the list relatively quickly. Yeah, this aint rocket science. Adjust for the last 2 games and Caleb is 4th in the league: https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/player-stat/qb-rating-nfl?split=last...

Well did Gase say "I'll See Myself Out" - then you can't remove him legally!

Joking aside - that's insane

Time to go look over Jets contracts for the coming years

Dalton had his little magic a couple of weeks back. The team isn't as bad as it looked with Young, but it's not suddenly respectable either. The D has plenty of holes that could provide our offense its first "complete" game. If this was on the road... maybe I feel differently? I am scarin...

Short and sweet from Fields, who says that Mike Tomlin is lights years better of a coach than Nagy and Eberflus: https://x.com/dave_bfr/status/1839335705753063689?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1839335705753063689%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fdawindycity.c...

That was fun to watch That said - Playing a team like Carolina heals a lot of wounds. Need to step up when we get to the NFL part of the season I hate it when people say shit like this. Any team can beat any team on any given Sunday. Every single player on the Panthers was an NFL caliber player. Ma...

I went HC (me and Dplank - Ride or Die!) You Can View it via Bill Bellichick. Bellichick the Coach was excellent. Bellichick the GM was quite poor at his Job. Granted its a QB discussion too - it's all over the place (though I think he won double digit games with Matt Cassel too) Really though - th...

I'm glad to see a guy I was super high on actually be productive for this team. I've had way too many Jon Bostics in my time. To his credit, Bostic stuck around the league for 9 years, including 4 solid years as a starter with IND, PIT, and WAS -- just not with us for whatever reason He's a guy who...

Elite

I can't believe they had Danny Trejo play him in the movie

To be fair, Fields has had to play with Dante Pettis and Claystool as his main receivers, compared to DJ Moore, Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze. There’s a difference in talent Keenan hasn't played a ton so far Did Fields ever get to play with Moore, Kmet and Mooney (who is good)? Asking for a friend -...

Bears 28
Jags 21

It wasn't his best game but he did throw the go ahead TD late in the 4th only to watch his defense give up a sustained 70 yard TD drive to lose the game - sounds familiar to his only 2 losses down the stretch here last year. I always love when the Defense plays pretty darn well - especially in term...

Fields numbers for the season are: 92/136 for 961 yards (67.6% completion, 7.1 ypa), 5 TD, 1 INT, 97.1 passer rating 44 carries for 172 yards (3.9ypa), 3 TD At that rate, his season numbers would be: 313/462 for 3,267 yards, 17 TD, 3 INT 150 carries for 585 yards, 10 TD Not prolific yardage-wise, b...

I think "was" is the operative word here.

Father Time, still undefeated.

In his defense he's always hated his Father

Fair fair points here. Ha

Both are Elite at what they do though.....

"Brisker has not been declared out for the upcoming game and can join the team in London if he clears concussion protocol before the week’s end." https://sports.yahoo.com/chicago-bears-safety-jaquan-brisker-234200162.html Nothing better for just getting over concussion than RedEye to Lond...

Also this has been annoying me every time I view the thread title - SO here goes:

HOW BAD IS HE!?!??!

I would say that Waldron has been outstanding for the last six quarters of football. Hoping it isn't an anomaly. The one thing I liked about the hire was that the guy has a track record of success. So I don’t think it’s an anomaly, I think k we are getting better combined with playing a bad team th...

I'm seeing him getting doubled with some frequency, but I think that's mostly offensively the scheme to "we'll double the guy in this spot for this play" rather than Dexter specifically demanding a double team -- I saw one instance of him splitting a double team, so that's nice. Need to s...

I think the Commanders real worry needs to be more RGIII redux than Kliff (though yeah I had the SAME thought - How can he keep being good to begin with - People just forgetting?) But when you see Daniels - Man that Frame is skinny - Sometimes thats fine like Devonta Smith - and sometimes thats John...

This might be of interest. In addition to Williams' highest passer rating of 126.2 against the Panthers he also had really high ESPN QBR of 83.8. Last week against the Rams he had a passer rating of 106.6 but his QBR was only 38.9, which is still his second best of the season. I noticed that today ...

That was fun to watch

That said - Playing a team like Carolina heals a lot of wounds. Need to step up when we get to the NFL part of the season

I wonder if it's time to put Jenkins on the shelf until at least after the bye? Let him figure out his physical issues, work with the coaches and determine if he can effectively execute the blocking scheme. I'm beginning to wonder of he's not so fleet of foot and unable to get to the second level c...

I enjoy your posts and glad you found your way here from the Old Board.

Going the Sonny Corleone model for your GMship I see

Looking at a mile high hay stack and not being able to see a needle is not proof that a needle doesn’t exist. Odds are near zero that we are alone IMO. Whether anything has visited here or not I’ll put at a coin flip. This is a weird use of odds. I agree on the first part - We are talking about dar...
