I was thinking maybe a 2025 first and a second this year. Something like that

Wouldn't be surprised if Poles got a 1st out of Atlanta.

They gamble on WWE, a fixed outcome and there was a line on whether or not the Titantic submersible would be found in time to save the occupants. There is no bottom and frankly I just hope all of these people go broke.

I think Fields in Atlanta could be a problem. They are a 10, 11 win team with a decent QB. I don't think Fields has even 'peaked' yet. Could be a fun redemption story for both parties.

Sam Howell sucks

Draft the homegrown AJ Brown to add an immediate vertical threat for Bryce, keep Adam Thielen for short and intermediate stuff. Upgrade the running game and we might not be a dumpster next year. If nothing else drafting Tez would be a morale booster for the fanbase. People will hype it up and there would be talks of “maybe we have our franchise QB and WR” from the draft until at very least mid August. The Tez offensive.

I think there have been more dominant TEs. Tony Gonzales, Antonio Gates, Gronk. Kelce also hasn't had a year where he had to play with a terrible QB, and guys like Tony Gonzales played in an era where getting the TE involved in the passing game wasn't a focal point.

Even with Mike Evans and a 'resurgent' Baker Mayfield the Bucs had the 23rd rank offense in the NFL.

That is crazy as hell. What I want to know is did the plane do a U-turn in midair or continue on to its original destination? What a huge waste of time and a terrible look. Dude is about to become Eric Bieniemy

Have the terms of the contract been released? We've heard so much about Teppers 'deep pockets'.

The CMC blueprint

Sports fans/people seem to just be mad at everything in 2024. Luka drops 73 and everybody immediately goes 'Because nobody plays defense! :angry emoji face: 'This is why I don't watch the NBA' etc etc. Though something about Taylor is unsettling, and I can really understand why people would rather not watch a game than be exposed to her for a cumulative 2 minutes. The Purdy hate makes zero sense. People should be rooting for a mediocre QB to succeed, to deemphasize the QB position since only 4 teams have a shot any given year. He can completely break the blueprint of 'how you win a championship' and people hate him because....he has a good team around him lol. And this is despite the fact that the 49ers drafted a guy at 3 that had 'all of the tools' and he was ass in this same system. People say 'any QB' would succeed in SF and completely ignore how Trey Lance was for some reason. Its just all very odd.

What is fascinating to me is that the majority of the audience is NOT watching the game lol. They are watching for the commercials and halftime. 99% of the public despises ads and commercials 99% of the time. Everybody 'hates to be sold something' but the Super Bowl is the exception for some reason. I'd really like to understand this one day.

I'm serious. Not trying to get too deep/political but the SB is a marketplace for corporations and pop stars to sell you poo, masquerading as a'must see' cultural event that 'brings us all together'. They also play on FOMO to make you feel like a loser if you don't go to that SB party. The game usually actually sucks (Conference championships are historically more competitive), and the actual play time is around 25 minutes, out of the 5 hours that the game is 'on'. Go fishing in two weeks and once you realize you didn't miss out on anything. There are two types of people that don't care about any given Super Bowl. People that have never watched or cared about the Super Bowl, and people that used to care and intentionally missed one. If you've always watched and have never even considered missing the game you will always continue to watch and never consider missing the game. Break the habit once and you'll be free. You'll see it for what it is.

Be careful, I have a theory that once an NFL fan intentionally misses one Super Bowl they are never as fully 'into' the NFL as they once were. The veneer is gone, and all of the hype surrounding the game becomes annoying background noise in ones life. Its like when you're a kid and you find out Santa isn't real. Its never the same. I'll publish research on this one day. The Huddle nerds can peer review

Literally 20 years ago.

I genuinely haven't enjoyed sports the same since SB50.

So a weekly healthy scratch. We are here -->

Would Bryce even be active on gameday if he played for the 49ers?

It honestly seems like Wilks has been along for the ride with San Fran this year. Their fans seemed to like Ryans more, and the 49ers defense has been leaky at times this year. Dan Campbell is kind of an idiot, it isn't saying much.

Cam wouldn't even outduel Mahomes in the Super Bowl

Dave Tepper alt account?

They have a 'good' offense. Some nice weapons. They are very young and maybe they grow and get better, however their defense has been suspect all year. They only have one decent pass rusher. They got exposed against good teams all year.

The Lions definitely overperformed, AND the NFC was complete ass this year. Wouldn't be surprised at all if they fall apart and we don't hear from them again for the rest of the decade.
