    NFL Draft Rd.1: Discussion, Rumors, Rumblings, Spoilers Gamethread

    Went back and watched Jones' highlights from last year, it's amazing how many of his TDs were underthrown by 5 yards to guys who were 8 yards open.

    Sexual assault lawsuit filed against QB DeShaun Watson

    Plaintiffs know that they will eventually have to disclose their names to the defense if the cases proceed. There are both strategic and procedural reasons for a delay. The strategic benefits of waiting are obvious - why make it any easier for his team to investigate and rebut? All the pressure...

    RD5 #13/#159: K Justin Rohrwasser, Marshall

    As an aging punk, this reminds me of all the guys who have Skrewdriver t-shirts but only liked them "before they were racist." The III% movement was never anything but what it is. This guy is what, 22, 23? "Back when I was a teenager" is doing a lot of work here for something that happened in...

    RD5 #13/#159: K Justin Rohrwasser, Marshall

    The fact is, it almost certainly won't, but it probably should. Most people in the general public and sports media are very eager to look the other way in this type of situation. It will get glossed over quickly.

    RD5 #13/#159: K Justin Rohrwasser, Marshall

    There are white supremacists in many NFL locker rooms. There are tons of white supremacists in the NYPD, which also has a high proportion of POC. They either don't talk about it or do the usual "I'm libertarian but I don't like all those racists who are part of the organizations I willingly...

    2020 NFL Draft Day 3 Game Thread

    Yeah the 3%ers are straight up fascists, not rooting for this guy ... I know there are a lot of very conservative white players in the league but we could probably at least have found one who isn't covered in hate group tattoos

    2020 Pats: General/Non-QB Off-Season Discussion

    no way are they going into 2020 with just stidham if they are trying to win. brady is in decline but he is still better, and they can spread out his dead money if they resign him to a reasonable deal. essentially, any FA QB you sign over brady for 2020 costs an extra $6.5M in dead cap (because...

    2020 Playoffs: Who You Rooting For Now?

    i tend to think about this in terms of narratives and how they relate to the era and the pats dynasty. so the least offensive thing for me would be for some plucky team that i don't hate to get a fluky win and then probably slide back to mediocrity. candidates: vikings, titans, texans. i...

    2020 Game Goat Thread: WCG vs Titans

    right. pats were 40% on 4th down (any distance) on the season, 38% on 3rd down (any distance), and 38% on 3rd down in the TEN game. there's no way they are worse than 10% to convert there, nor is it simply a question of conversion % vs. chance of getting TEN to go 3&out. once you get the 3&o...

    2020 Game Goat Thread: WCG vs Titans

    The decision to punt on the last drive may have been the worst decision I've seen BB make in a playoff game. Totally indefensible. The surrounding talent has done little for Michel, but put me in the camp that says a 1st round back should be offering more than he does, even with a bad OL. The...

    Pre-Game Thread: We're onto Kansas City

    It's not about the absolute strength of your offense, in my understanding it's about 1) the relative strength of your offense vs. theirs, and 2) the relative marginal value of any "extra" possessions that both teams might receive. So the argument for shortening the game would be to introduce...

    2019 Pre-Game Thread: America's Team vs. Captain America

    Some of this is game-plan related too. I expect the Pats to crowd the line and make Dak read pressures & coverages all day. On offense, I'm predicting a big Burkhead game with a lot of 21 personnel. Cowboys thin at LB and Rex is more of a two-way back than White. Playing fast out of a heavier...

    How Many Games Should Myles Garrett Have Been Suspended?

    AFC NORTH FOOTBAW. to add to that, it looked like garrett was actually just backing away with the helmet until rudolph came after him, and then he swung it at him. i think he's still going to get the book thrown at him. objectively, what he did wasn't worse than haynesworth stomping on gurode...

    lol this is the experience of being a Pats fan in weeks 5 thru 16 in a nutshell. (i think the answer is, HOU win puts us 2 games up on both teams, we should prob root for that)
