I know, but if we're talking about pulling missing pieces out of retirement to play, I'd rather have Gross because LT is definitely a bigger missing piece.

I don't know man. TBIs are a funny thing. My wife has one and it took about 6 months for the gravity of it to hit her. Another one could leave her crippled and we all know once you have that first concussion, another is easier to get. I have no doubt Luke loves football, but reality may very well have set in for him. Brain injuries are a sobering thing. I've had 4 concussions myself and I've often wondered when or if they will catch up to me, especially now after her permanent injury.

At this point I believe Fitt will somehow turn our 1st into multiple 1sts, a 2nd and some magic beans that will grow a new LT.

I'd rather have Jordan Gross come out of retirement.

The best parts of this deal. 1. We get the 2019 DPOY for a 2023 6th for the rest of the year. 2 If we choose to not keep Jax or Gilmore, the contract signed will end up netting us a 3rd or 4th round comp pick most likely for Jax or a 5th for Gilmore. 3. The Patriots are paying part of his salary. 4. Unless we keep both, we acquired talent and moved up in draft position. This is how you 4d chess.

True, we could get a 5th rd comp for Gilmore or if we let DJax walk we could end up with a 3rd or 4th. Either way, we traded away a 6th in 2023 for a 2 year removed DPOY and a better draft pick unless we decide to keep both.

Or we created a scenario that will likely net us a 3rd or 4th rd comp pick for a 6th

If Tepper isn't paying attention, he should be. Turf is a monster for injuries and trying to win an NFL championship is going to be a lot harder when half the team has soft tissue injuries, torn ligaments and foot injuries.

Can we trade Miller and a certain guard who shall not be named for Norwell?

I guess you can get some nasty injuries spinning like a turnstile

What if it's just for illegal boner pills?

I don't care if we raid a practice squad, find someone, anyone who can hold a block.

If we can't get Paradis playing better we are going to be in serious trouble I think. He's the weakest link in that line right now. Now if Brady starts running our offense like it's the 2 minute drill, that might help. I'd be good with 14-16 play drives. Sam does better on quick rhythm. We need to use that.

Why haven't the Boys been to the Super Bowl in 20 years? Because they've choked multiple times. I don't know if the Panthers would have won or lost without those blown/missed calls. I do know that those calls definitely influenced the outcome of a 1 score game. I don't care if we lose to a better team. I'm good with that. I do care when blown calls that lead to points or injuries are just brushed off as insignificant. Horn was hurt last week after a blown PI call kept the defense on the field. This week a clear fumble wasn't reviewable and the result was a score. Get the calls right for every team. As much as I hate the Saints, that blown non call for PI in the playoffs shouldn't have happened. Games can swing on 1 or 2 plays, especially turnovers. Get it right.

If it was one or two calls I'd chalk it up to human error. But it wasn't. It was egregious. I think these teams are more evenly matched than the way it played out. But what do you do when you know you aren't going to get a single call? Plays need to be able to be reviewed. And the biggest thing is refs need to be held accountable. You can't keep saying oops we made a mistake. Fix it. With a camera on every phone, and the technology to see what's in the back of my truck from outer space, I think we can tell if a football was moving for a fumble or if a defender really interfered with a pass. But who knows. Maybe Sam isn't old enough to get that call either.

I wonder if his timing is off when he has protection. He can't trust this line so while he's not seeing ghosts it is screwing up his rhythm.

They weren't misses. The NFL needs the Cowboys winning to fuel their story line. Same way they weren't going to let Manning ride off into the sunset 1-3 in Super Bowls. These weren't bad calls. These were exactly the momentum shifting calls they were supposed to be.

Let's get real. If we go down by 7 early with Teddy 2 gloves at QB, the game is pretty much over. Sam has the ability to lead a comeback and drive the ball. Is he perfect, far from it. But for a 2nd round pick, yeah he's pretty fugging good so far.

Because he has incriminating pictures of Goodell.

Honestly don't care. I'm so sick of the bullshit that is WWE NFL.

We could have had Erick McCoy instead of Paradis but we got Miami's 7th rounder instead.

At this point, the only chance to correct this would be with the gaming commission. It's obvious the NFL is shaving points.

I'm not so sure it was he didn't love football as much as he didn't love meyer. Being stuck in Jax for 4 years under a guy you can't get along with could make someone contemplate retirement. Some situations are just toxic. I'm not saying that's for sure what happened, but it could be possible given the off-season poo that was coming out of Jax.

Fortunately for us, this isn't going to be one of those weeks.
