K-9

Well, that wasn’t posted by Alphadawg7 and I wish it was because it would have been so much easier to just drop that tweet into the post instead. Full style points to you, though.

This was posted by Alphadawg7 over at TSW on TBD. I thought it was great and had to share it here. It’s a comparison of Mahomes and Allen over their last 21 games. Mahomes: 17-4 record Allen: 17-4 record Mahomes: 106.9 rating Allen: 106.0 rating Mahomes: 67 comp % Allen: 67.6 comp % Mahomes: 58-13 Total TD-INT Allen: 59-12 Total TD-INT

I’d like to buy a vowel, Pat.

When Brady was with the Pats***, he often said that the Bills secondary under McDermott was his most difficult challenge, especially because of how well Hyde and Poyer disguised coverages pre-snap. That back seven has been together for several years now and it shows. They can complete each other’s sentences.

Do you understand the concept of “it’s a week to week league?”

So, the assumption by the networks is that the viewing audience is mostly comprised of people ignorant of the game. Mute and move on indeed. Well, aren’t those casual fans lucky then. 😂

I find that approach highly insulting to the viewing audience. As if we can’t discern chicken crap from chicken salad on our own. There is absolutely nothing that the Collinsworths of the commentary world can tell me to convince me to keep watching or not. They should actually try saying less at times.

Sorry NS, but the idea of makeup sex with my brother is extremely upsetting.

Jack Eichel’s antiques:

I doubt it.

KA was asleep at the wheel. Not sure why you let a player like Barre-Boulet slip thru your fingers. It’s not like the Sabres aren’t familiar with his play in Syracuse.

This makes more sense to me.

Why do the Caps get the option of sending him to Hershey while the Sabres don’t have the option of sending him to Rochester?

The Rangers must have gotten a good look at the medical records.

If they were smart, they’d put him on IR.

I left out one key group the clock is also ticking for; the media.

I think that clock is ticking only for Eichel and impatient fans.

Yeah, the “generational” label needs to be saved for players who truly are. I don’t recall a lot of people saying Eichel was generational coming out, just that he would have been first overall if not for McDavid. I can count on one hand the number of players that compare with McDavid in my 50+ years of watching the NHL, so Eichel certainly has nothing to apologize for in that regard. He’s a great player. That said, he wasn’t part of a solution in turning this team around and it was time to move on. Clearly.

That works for me. Bergeron is a great player.

Okposo, for all his lack of fading skills and ability, always seems to make good decisions, mostly because there is no panic in his game. When these younger guys start learning to keep their heads up, take an extra second to assess the situation and then make the play, then we will turn the corner.

He’s been gone for a while now, but he’s still on the team.

That makes sense on a certain level, but that’s also saying the conclusions reached by the medical team and the best medical practices they advised would have been different. For that reason, I have to think the injury dictated the medical course of action and not whether Jack was staying or not.

Same here.

Why wouldn’t minimizing the risks be paramount if Eichel was gonna be a part of things moving forward? Seems even more of a reason to minimize the risk.

Nice period. Lotsa jam. And a Blutarsky to show for it.
