    That'd be my plan. Ideally, they'd fine an OC better than Dennison. But if they were to bring in Smith, a vanilla west coast scheme might get you another 9 wins?

    I really don’t want the Bills to overpay Cousins. If Smith were to be the team’s QB next year, it’d be an incremental improvement over Taylor — but not insubstantial. Especially in this west coast system. I think the Bills likely beat the Jags with Smith at QB in yesterday’s game. Romo seemed to give the brutal truth about Tyrod on several replays yesterday. Taylor just doesn’t see the field in a reliable manner. Final thought: Very unlikely that Shady catches lightning in a bottle next season (age 30). The offence could somehow get worse?

    Haha - that kid sounds to be my age. Hell, we’re all kids right now. Go Bills.

    [Oprah voice]: YOU get a QB! And YOU get a QB!

    Lol Mark Davis. The Pardon My Take show dropped a joke in which it was posited that Davis wants to hire Gruden because, when Davis looks in the mirror, he (Davis) thinks he looks like Gruden; that Davis has fantasies of living out some sort of buddy-movie with Gruden in which they occasionally wear matching outfits and confound other people in the organization who cannot tell them apart. And, really. It's a funny joke. It's also plausible.

    I think the importance of the position has a tendency to boost a prospect's position on a draft board.

    I recall that being reported -- that the 2nd they got from SF was less than the 1st the Browns offered. I do think there's a very good chance that the owner intervened on some level and said, in effect, the better football decision may be to move on from Brady, but the better business decision is probably to stick with him. OTOH, it's been consistently reported that Belichick holds grudges like no other. That would include having one against the Browns. Additionally, it's been reported in connection with Garappolo that he really wanted to see him succeed elsewhere (if it could not be in NE) because that would reflect well on Belichick and his legacy. In that regard, it would make sense that he'd say "no" to the Browns tire fire and instead entrust his prized prospect to a person he trusts (Shanahan in SF, IIRC). I think it's strong to call it a hatchet job (which is what all my Pats fan friends are calling it), but I think it has the whiff of being a bit overdone.

    If you have not seen the video re this quote, please go see it. Linked upthread (to a Twitter post).

    It's hard to beat a team three times. IT'S HARD TO BEAT A TEAM THREE TIMES!

    Well, he answered the bell way out of his weight class. I find it sort of funny that he ripped some of that absurd-ass Amish beard off Jumbo's face.

    Interesting. Wickersham certainly seems to have it out for the Patriots. We'd all love to see that happen, but I don't expect a stranger-than-fiction story-line like that to play out. Same with this. My sense is that the report is based in some truth, but largely over-blown. Belichick really did have a difficult situation to resolve with Garappolo. He must have presumed that the young guy was poised to take over for Brady -- that Brady would retire. But then Brady didn't. And Garrapolo looked good -- maybe great. I'm sure Kraft had a hand in making the decision too. In any case, my bet is that this story helps fuel the Patriots to yet another Superbowl victory. Maybe after that Brady calls it quits. My money remains on Brady retiring before Belichick does. The latter, I think, wants to prove that he can do it without Brady.

    It was silky.

    I heard Rob Ray’s comments to the effect that PH consciously chose a shiny, happy, positive approach with his team — going to bat for them publicly despite struggles. That’s his philhousley (philosophy), evidently. I’m not sure we’ll get to see if that philhousley coild ever achieve positive results with this squad.

    Just saw the Risto hit on Twitter. What a garbage play that is. Neil-esque in its angle of approach, if not in its lateness.
  15. That Aud Smell
    I appreciate that sort of feedback.

    Our fan base's reaction has been so uniquely wonderful that I'm really starting to believe that's true. (Heretofore, I mostly subscribed to the theory of "folks is folks" no matter where you go.) Word up. I was watching in a large common space of a hotel, among friends and total strangers, and there was like a 15-dude dog pile on the rabbit celebration - with friends and strangers alike. Glorious.

    Oooooh. Eye rolling at the eye rollers. But who eye rolls at those who eye roll at the eye rollers? HUH?
  18. That Aud Smell
    Hells yeah. They really are good. And they've been getting better and better (and better). And I say that without blowing too much smoke at RF. For example in this instance, I found Scotty's post about what to do with ROR to be interesting as well.
  19. That Aud Smell
    Really good stuff, Flagg.
  20. That Aud Smell
    I agree with that. He's somewhat overpaid based on current production and trend. Not the worst thing in the world -- especially when you're overpaying for a center who can reliably do some key things. But I really mean it when I ask: Is dude too slow?
  21. That Aud Smell
    I'd like to believe this is true. My concern remains that he's too slow to keep up with the game as it's now being played -- that he was tabbed, in error, by GM TM as precisely the sort of player a good NHL team would need going forward. passage of time and associated increase of the cap?

    Beautiful. @ him with that - he may well take notice and RT or whatever. My childhood football heroes were guys like Ferguson and Cribbs, and I was college-aged when the Bills were a perennial contender (which makes me damn near 50 now). And I went/am going craaaazy over this turn of events. You won't catch my eyes rolling. Like the young man says in the clip: It's hard to beat a team three times! https://twitter.com/stoolpresidente/status/948634624246403077 My advice: Stay young at heart, and enjoy what's given. I sense some gamesmanship here.
  23. That Aud Smell
    Good takes, imo. I'm not sure an over-priced ROR could be part of a deal to fetch an OEL, though.
  24. That Aud Smell
    I'm not sure who or what Meatwad is, but I've been thinking a lot about how the history of NFL playoff football seems littered with fresh-legged flash-in-the-pan RB success stories. Who remembers Fast Willie Parker from the Steelers? I'm telling you, there is a real chance that Murphy could post a ~20-110-2 line against the Jags. Not a good chance. But a real one.

    Apologies for not finding/seeing a more recent thread on the topic (like, one from this season), but I'd prefer to revive one rather than start one anew. This was just posted to the Twitter. Mike Kelly@MikeKellyNHL Top 5 forwards in puck battles won per game (even-strength): 1. O'Reilly - 4.0 2. Kopitar - 3.9 3. Matthews - 3.8 4. Barkov - 3.7 5. E. Staal - 3.6 In my mind, ROR had a really rough start to the season (mainly, he seemed super slow) and then maybe started to look better of late. But maybe that perception is/was off?
