Lmao

Id argue the opposite. Play keep away and rest the liability of a defense. It helps to keep you from getting down big to begin with.

This x10,000

Pitts lined up offside on that play on 2nd & 7

And I’d agree with you on that.

In last 25 years I’d say the 2001 Panthers were 1-15 & went to Super Bowl 38 in 2003. Drafted Dan Morgan, Kris Jenkins and Steve Smith in ‘01…already had Moose, Minter and Rucker. ‘02 drafted Peppers Deshaun Foster. Picked up Stephen Davis Ricky Proehl and Jake Delhomme in the following ‘03 offseason while drafting Jordan Gross & Ricky Manning Jr. John Fox was a solid coaching hire for the era prior to defensive rule changes. Saying I’ve seen it happen, also acknowledging how much has to go right for that to occur. Highly unlikely scenario but possible.

Rodney Pete, Vinny Testeverde, Brad Johnson (Bucs), Tommy Maddox, Kyle Orton, Chad Pennington, Bob Griese

No idea if it’s been mentioned by anyone, but I’ll be interested to see how the offense looks against not only 1st team defenders but post-first-10-scripted-plays. How will Canales perform when adjustments are necessary? I’m cautiously optimistic

They must be too young to know any better

Integrate LLMs with sensors providing feedback to an objective rule-based system and the NFL would IMMEDIATELY become less storyline driven . Lmao it is trash how this hasn’t been thought of, unless it has but hasn’t been implemented. And if it has been thought of and not implemented, what is the motive? I dislike black boxes of any kind, and love leveraging any and all tech that eliminates/disintermediates them.

Literally the only reason. It isn’t even expensive these days. It is more costly to the integrity of the game than it is costly to integrate the technology. That is, unless, it has more to do with betting lines, ticket revenue etc tied to narratives around popular and big market teams

The only reason the incredibly profitable NFL isn’t leaning ALL THE WAY IN on technology to ref games is because it allows them to control the narrative and perpetuate storylines. “Packers win! Playoff hunt!” Blah blah blah. The information asymmetry that exists with human referees and the black box of “the control room making subjective decisions in NYC” necessarily allows for narrative control and money to flow via betting lines and more popular fan bases being appeased to. If the NFL actually cared about this the way the IRS cares about taxes, there would be no referees at all, as they are less competent than tech that exists today.

Bryce objectively played his ass off. Looking forward to more of the same and consistency as we move forward.

lol, right?

Economic value of players on the field contributing to winning resulting in ticket, concession and jersey sales vs economic value of James Taylor and Beyoncé ticket, concession sales
