How'd you know USC was in LA if you didn't know there was one in Cali?

Sorry, but I didn't even know the university of south Carolina existed when I first learned about USC...

Absolutely wonderful news, thank you for sharing

This is not a vindication of the NFL in any way. Actually makes Vincent out to be at best uninformed. I would be fine if they came out and said they didn't act to change protocol immediately and so teams were told 5 minutes but never forced into it... but they will be changing rules about protocol in the future so there's no question on the 5 minute resumption again

Screwed up snap and INT cost him.

so you're suggesting we force a coach that is suing someone over being forced to tank.... to tank?

so, how are you convincing Wilks to plan for next year when every single game and how the team performs will need to be part of his interview? I suppose he could argue "I deliberately threw the last game to get us slightly better draft position"...

Maybe but I expect Wilks to do everything in his power to win this game... And we know that is less likely on Darnold's back than on Foreman's

I'm not sure I'll want him back if he returns to "awful". I'm expecting a game more like his first few games here - lots of running game, limited passing.

I posted a similar breakdown but one thing to keep in mind is that's assuming he plays at this level across a season. I like him a lot as a backup/ bridge and I am skeptical of that.

I mean he went to the SB and NFC championship 2x... You don't do that by not being able to win. Not to mention his QBs at the time, lol.

This is why it might take a few minutes to filter decisions out ,but it took 30 minutes. Stadiums, I guarantee, have orderly 'evacuation' and exit plans in place. This was not that. I appreciate trying to give the NFL the benefit of the doubt, but IF their slow official response is justified it is more that they did not want to interrupt the teams to confirm they wanted to postpone indefinitely in their lockerrooms while they were having personal discussions on what happened. But I think the coaches told the officials the players weren't going back out on the field and at that point the NFL could have made the call.

Jim needed help beating OSU so his brother gets the team for a week. Done pretty well for them the last couple years.

He took himself out of so many plays. Terrible.

oh definitely. Harbaugh is cunning and I have no doubt he has a plan for all of this in one way or another.

this Ricci score is asinine. There should be some kind of minimum snaps requirement. Lol. PFF generally follows my expectations but some scores are just very weird lol.

I'll be honest, Burns' grade is slightly higher than I expected. YGM's is actually lower than I expected.

Is that Bozeman's lowest grade all season? Rough

Maybe, but I dunno, man. I don't think Denver is a good situation. Unless Harbaugh is absolutely sure he can help Russ bounce back. I see that more as a Payton thing than a Harbaugh thing.

that does not contradict reports that the officials on the field tried to get the warmup time started and coaches quickly dismissed the idea and took players into the lockerroom, which is also my take-away from what I'd read. (would pie but out of it, too many good posts today)

I'd need to read it again but on first read what I saw from Vincent wasn't so much that there was never a discussion of a 5 minute warmup before resumption, but rather the NFL hadn't tried to force that.

yeah lots of speculation he'd just end up washing out entirely before the season. He's definitely saved himself of that.

Dunno man, one of the big questions I have with e.g. Levis is age, and it was a big knock I had on Pickett last year. Maybe age doesn't matter to you? But in Darnold's cause, he's young for an NFL player, while those prospects are not young for prospects. I don't think we have different views on his ultimate place in the league, just on this stretch. I don't think he can maintain a high level of play through a season. If he could, he wouldn't just be someone's bridge, though. We'll see what happens in the offseason though... I wouldn't be surprised if he's gone. On to other conversations

and yet somehow he apparently got it right, based on Person, that Tepper did talk to Harbaugh about interviewing. So there's that. Even if Harbaugh talked up the opportunity, I wouldn't put much faith in it; he's obviously trying to drive up interest in himself.

And he's also still relatively young. There are a bunch of prospects entering the draft that are barely a year older than him.
