That is an all timer there, for me. Kris Jenkins… beast. There was a guy named Pantherfan or Panthersfan whom posted back then that was at that game and was preserved in a photo of the blocked XP or FG. In a crowd in the stands reaction shot. He passed away maybe within a year or two, not that long after. That picture is kind of his tribute. Or memorial.

I mean, once I hear him say “his ample chest” referencing Rivera, it gets to a place I don’t want my announcers to take me.

Not sure what the spread means with this team. The spread in general seems as much based on driving action for both teams as for actually being predictive.

Definitely. And what a win. Double OT. And the next week AT the Eagles. Their old stadium with the jail cells in it lol. A couple early on, 1995 1996 were big surprises. Expansion teams up until then had been really bad for a long time. Mostly. I think the @Tampa game for that ‘03 season was legendary. We didn’t really expect to win.

Thieves Avenue. Which neither here nor there, for some reason that nickname wasn’t a home run with me. Compared to the great nicknames of the past. Legion of Boom was a really good one, I have to say. Doomsday defense. Fearsome Foursome. Steel Curtain (Cold War Iron Curtain reference, for the young people). Some others I am not remembering. Purple People Eaters was cool. Offbeat but cool. edit: seems like I like the ones with alliteration. Or maybe everybody likes it. and one OL group that I remember, The Hogs. Seems loike defenses get the names usually.

Protection on those throws was there. jeez I cant give him a compliment for making the plays, I have to hype it up by denying there was ample time to throw and good protection?

He threw one just like the two yesterday to XL a couple three weeks ago. Caught it in the EZ so no YAC but there would have been in the right part of the field. A lot of it is the protection has been very good.

We weren’t supposed to be winning the division and were picked last and third by just about everyone. Including the rational people here. We still have a chance at the division in December and will almost certainly finish second at worst. I am not unhappy about it. I will be unhappy with a 2nd place schedule next year.

Saints loss is what bit us. Deservedly so.

I didn’t think that’s how they determine a drop. I thought it is not what you could have caught, but what you should have caught. Is that wrong?

He just did haul in an almost identical ball a couple weeks ago. Throw it to the right place he probably catches it. Btw, Tet has something like 6 drops and isn’t catching any flak for it. And I’m not saying he should but going by the hyper critical nature of many posters, that is a little telling. So I look it up… Tet has something like 98 targets. I just closed the link but from memory. 6 drops. Legette has 53 targets and 2 drops. Math says Legette’s drop rate is lower than Tet’s. The more you know. Spare me the cracks about feet in bounds, all that stuff. He wasn’t on the sideline.

That is largely based on how difficult it is to sweep a division home and away matchup. Because we probably would have to do that. Doubt we’d be favored in either one.

He is already good with a very limited offense and QB. I think he deserves the award (so far) and further, think he has a great mentality and attitude. He isn’t a diva, at all that I see. He was a great pick.

People pull for the team on game days. That is the truth. Bryce part of the team. It doesn’t fit the stans narrative of rooting against because of Bryce but it’s the truth. And we do it knowing that any success will be blown up into ‘dots’ and big time throws and all the hype. The day after a win it starts to sink in that now we might have to see the team pay 40 or 50 million a season for what we have watched this year. And when you clinically look at that, it isn’t smart. It isn’t uplifting.

They hold the division record tiebreaker, I think. Maybe it is conference, but they hold it. We would need to sweep them to hope to take that out of play in case of a tie record wise. So there is your basis for those odds.

Need a time out? People get tired of the glaze. We see the throws. I am sure we cheered them. Then we see them get characterized like plain looking women that think they are 10s. There is nothing wrong with a good solid 7. Let it be a 7. You don’t have to try and make it into a 10. With the dots. It is like when guys say Bryce can’t throw over 5 yards. Same poo in the opposite direction. As far as touch and timing passes they were excellent throws.

Moton’s lol. I am not thinking so, or at least nobody jumps out. Big deals. There are always guys that the deals were structured to get out of but who that we have signed for a lot, that we do not want to keep? DB and Horn on defense? Chuba? Hunt? Whatever we are paying Corbett might be too much. Maybe in another year. Haven’t really looked.

That part about tackles aging well, really just some blind optimism that somehow it works out where we aren’t completely screwed.

I am pretty sure it was worse before they spread it out. (Not trying to say it is good, just that they were way in a corner with the one year number and had to do something). And statistically, though we are struggling with him recently, OT is a position guys stay good at into their mid 30s.

I don’t see the need. Or the want. It would disrupt the order of things at this point and there are only 4 games left, each important. keep working what we have. I wonder if he has eyes to play elsewhere. And lol again at him, thinking he was going to be winning and get out of loservlle, only to end up in worse shape than if he had stayed. Maybe he got some good sex out of it at home.

Luke is teaching class with a lot of his air time. Diagnoses or breaks down a play in the moment, he is a real treat to listen to at times. And Jake and Luke know their roles. Don’t interrupt, be ready with your comment.

I meant the spot they were in that necessitated addressing his contract. Before the extension he had an insane number I forget what it was.

Yeah everything comes to an end. And if you think you have Vegas figured out, like how to beat them, be careful. It is irrational to think about betting this way, totally superstitious. But the up down up down or black/red phenomenon of alternating results is killing it p, maybe for the last 5-6 weeks. And you know that is gonna end too.

I don’t understand the perfect passer rating being achieved when you don’t complete 100% of your attempts. Redefining perfect now? It’s more 20 yard deep ball big time throws and GWD. They all sound great. FTR he played really well except don’t forget the 2 likely game altering sacks that took us out of FG range in a 3 or 4 point margin game. I guess passer rating doesn’t apply if you eat the ball. So no dings. But no joke, 80% is completely excellent - but it isn’t perfect.

What is a WTF moment? Rhetorical…. Two 3rd down sacks to take the team out of FG range just yesterday, were pretty WTF? to me - and that came in a game he is hailed as the future for. Not a total fail game, one of his best. He had great protection on both those 4th down plays, and did not fug them up. Did his job. Neither was some astounding rare can’t believe it type of throw. It was a good throw, he kept his head straight through that moment and didn’t glitch and executed. It was the situation that was the bigger challenge. Don’t fug it up. That was good to see. The last pass to seal the clock and get to kneel down was a much tougher pass. Most of it is just don’t freak out, focus and do what you are trained to do. Let the training take over. People have a hard time getting into that space. He seems like he has that in his grasp. A lot of guys never get that. But the way you have to play with him is not really … an asset. Don’t know how to say it.
