If Hopkins had been cut before we signed Theilen it would have been a very interesting conversation to be had.

Chances are very high BY doesnt have us as a SB contender year 1. Winning the NFCS and getting some distance in the playoffs is great but we arent better than SF or Philly and definitely dont measure up to the AFC. That taken into consideration, DHop and Diggs are different situations. DHop will likely be a 1 year rental and his presence would hurt the development of TMJ and Mingo only if he's here a year and gone. That doesn't help the team long term. Diggs is under contract and we have to trade assets for him, and that price won't be cheap in assets and salary cap. We still need to sign Burns, Chinn, Brown. He also wants more input in the offense. Rookie QB doesn't need that. It's part of the issue we had between Cam and Smitty. I'd prefer DHop with a more reasonable multi year contract and in that case, I don't care as much about development of TMJ and Mingo, but they do both need to get PT.

It also matters what they're being asked to do. Kyle Pitts to an Authur Smith offense makes zero sense. He's a huge mismatch for everyone and they've pretty much ignored him. If he has another crappy year in that offense, we should try to trade for him. Always hard to do in division though

Because Matt Rhule that he was a genius among a league of morons. He thought he could make Baker a superstar just like he thought he could with T2G and Darnold.

That place is an absolute dumpster for NFL games. I'll never forget seeing a Panthers fan having beer cans thrown at them and physically assaulted and getting tossed by security for being disruptive.

After hearing this, does anyone else really think all those "mental reps" actually did anything for MC? The Nebraska AD is probably getting more and more nervous the more that comes out about that clown show.

He also had Chud as OC. Can't forget that. I don't have a problem bringing in Hopkins but it's really going to depend on what he wants. He's already said he doesn't want to play with a rookie QB. I see him taking less money and heading to KC to play with Mahomes. He'd be a true #1 there. He'd be a WR2 in Buffalo and Philly. Balt he'd be a 1. It'll be interesting to see what happens but I don't see a need to get all worked up over a receiver that has publicly said he doesn't want to play with our new QB.

It can be done but it's not cheap and requires a dedicated crew and planning. Turf maintenance is a science. One of the biggest things that leads to poor turf quality is piss poor drainage through the soil. If your soil doesn't drain well your roots don't have the strength to hold your turf in place.

Or TMJ. It's sad that there are so many players we really don't have a grasp of their abilities due to the complete incompetence of Rhule and his coaching staff.

They set themselves up in case of failure. Definitely a much better approach than going all in on Mitch Trubisky.

Carolina "won" because we hopefully ended up with our franchise QB. Chicago "won" because they've set themselves up to see if Fields has "it" or not. If he doesn't and they falter, high draft pick. If BY has a typical NFL rookie season, Carolina's pick could be a good one. It's possible they could get both a top QB and Harrison Jr. Both teams accomplished what they were trying to do. Whether that works out in the long run, we'll see.

Maybe we'll have to just "wait and see."

Depends on if I make it or not. If I order out it's usually medium well. If I make my own patties, then it's med rare/medium.

Cut determines the level of cook for me. I never go above medium and that's only for a fatty ribeye. My preferred cooking method though is Pittsburgh. When I used to cook professionally, I always cringed when I got the extra well done order but they wanted it juicy. Usually that always ended up with a discussion with the server about why that wasn't going to happen.

No. After a properly rested steak, even at medium rare, there should be very little juices on the plate. Any juices though I will run my steak through like a steak sauce. My steaks all have a heavy salt crust so that extra juice just absorbs right into it.

I'd love to have Nuke but before we go there we need to get a edge. That's a bigger hole right now I think. If we can get a Floyd or Houston and Nuke, I'd be really happy but I don't see it happening unfortunately.

It's also much more forgiving on the joints too.

Me too. Funniest thing was when I told my Dr what I had been eating and he got serious then looked at my cholesterol levels. LdL was down over 100 points. Only time I've ever heard a doctor cuss.

No. Gravy is its own food group.

Too many injuries. Too few scorers. Ran into a hot playoff team that everyone had written off heading into the playoffs. The only good part of all of this is the Bruins got knocked out early. I hate the fuggin Bruins.

Matt Rhule era: Mac n cheese made using the noodles from the generic brand box but no sauce packet because you made extra cheesy the other night, so you grind up some old cheese balls your grandmama gave you when you were 12 that have been sitting in a zip lock bag under some old Sears catalogs before you discovered your dad's Playboy stash. Reich:

Excellent. Good to see him coming in and getting right into it. It's feels so much better not relying on a T2G, Darnold or Baker.

They really should. That's the one position you can't really plug and play anyone your bring in off the street. And as we saw in the NFCCG, an injury to both can happen quickly and there is no way to recover.

BY should get the majority to start camp, if he's ready to take them, which he should be. AD and MC should split what's left. I would think something like a 65/15(AD)/20(MC) split. Depending on how they respond and progress or regress, adjust accordingly. Rinse and repeat.

I don't know how to describe it really. The hits just look different. During the season the hits were of the we're going to physically dominate you and there's nothing you can do about it variety. This series it's just felt like they're hitting because they're supposed too. Maybe it's just me, it just looks different.
