  1. I wonder if "replay assist" is just what the booth official color guy says the call should be. Collinsworth has a point about replay assist being really randomly applied...especially on potential scoring plays. Ask Calvin Johnson if that was a TD or not
  2. Great play by Hopper on that 2 pt conversion
  3. Yeah, no timeouts for the steelers, so replay assist can still change that call with more than 2 minutes left?
  4. Love is unconscious right now
  5. The personnel grouping of Watson/golden/Doubs plus Kraft and then either Jacobs or Wilson in the backfield is a problem for defenses...Hopefully health holds and allows for that personnel to play alot together
  6. Best TE in the NFL....Tucker Kraft At least until Gadsen figures things out more for the Chargers
  7. Watson, Kraft, and Love having themselves a night
  8. These blitzes are leaving wide open outlets if Love finds them quick enough
  9. Lets march down and drop 8 points this drive
  10. The RB is right there (even though there was zero intent to complete it)
  11. Because the running back trying to block a lineman was right in his lap, by rule it is...but that rule sucks
  12. I get that by rule thats an incomplete pass....but that rule should be changed so that type of play becomes intentional grounding.
  13. Horrific tackling on that swing pass
  14. I think the days are long gone for when juggernaut teams just destroy everyone right from Week 1 in the NFL and ride that wave all season long - and a big part of that is how the game is played and 17 weeks of the season. Now it's about how you are playing in December and health - theres a blob of about 10 teams that could either peak at the right time or wind up 10-7 and get bounced in the 1st playoff round. I'd say the Packers are in the upper echelon of that blob and have plenty of room for improvement. They could also fall on their face instead of improve, too. I dont like anyone's odds beating the Lions at Ford field in the playoffs - but I'd say the same thing about the Packers, Tampa, San Fran, or a focused Philly team at home in January right now, too.
  15. Getting Watson and Reed into the mix makes the Packers offense alot more explosive with a decent line, too. I think the Lions are really good, but as has been pointed out twice on the road on grass fields, their offense can be held in check. At home that team is a different animal.
  16. I believe that was when Robbie Gould was automatic inside 45 yards, but couldn't kick anything close to 50
  17. Looked like in the hurry they did to get the kick off that he kicked the ground first, not the ball
  18. That says alot about how comfortable the vikes have been letting McCarthy practically grow a new ankle the past 5 games watching Wentz continue to suck.
  19. I also think they fell victim to assuming their every other year cycle of an inflated record then crashing back down to earth the next year wasnt going to continue. Their line permanently sucks and their defense is gimmicky and overly blitz-happy because their personnel isnt good enough to hold up without tricking good offenses.
  20. How long has Darrisaw been back playing after his knee injury? He looks like a turnstyle so far tonight
  21. Yeah, a reduction in service time/arbitration that includes restricted free agency is a good idea
  22. When the two of them get rolling, even Dante himself doesn't have enough circles to pull a thread out of the doom loop. Any salary cap in MLB would need to have healthy revenue sharing plus a salary floor that forces the shared revenues into player salaries, and id be a proponent of also having it be a cap for teams' Opening Day 40 man rosters - which would allow for teams to take on extra veteran salary via in-season trades or adjustments for guys who begin the season on IL coming back and avoiding that team having to make a trade/cut elsewhere just to get them on the active roster. Those things would allow for some flexibility in-season, but at least put a limit on what huge market teams can do to stockpile/load up their roster in the offseason and even the free agent playing field a bit.
  23. The Dodgers are printing money - word has it they've recouped the entirety of Ohtani's $700M contract in roughly 1 year exploiting the Asian market. Think of that - in a year the Dodgers had to pay Ohtani $2M in actual dollars, their direct partnerships with Japanese company sponsorships, merch sales, and ticket revenue netted them $700+M...and I believe that doesn't include their share of leaguewide broadcast and national-level sponsorships revenue from Japanese markets that is split across MLB.
  24. >not a hard cap, again, use a "Bird Rule," because the Yankees never should have lost Derek Jeter because they were up against the cap Well, with a hard cap, the Yankees wouldn't have faced that decision, either some of those years if they didn't want it - they just would have not been able to add as much additional salary as they did from other teams via free agency or trade as the seasons ebbed and flowed (i.e., Sabathia, Clemens, Giambi, Matsui, Mussina, ARod, Randy Johnson, Damon, etc). I would add that a hard cap would also include full broadcast revenue sharing - meaning that the financial playing field, while not totally equal due to markets sizes, would be much more level and allow for all ballclubs to retain their homegrown stars longterm if they want them, in addition to shelling out money in free agency much more consistently. Huge market clubs still would have built in advantages if they are well run (similar to how many big market clubs were routinely playing for titles before MLB adopted free agency) - but the game would be much healthier and generate much more fan interest if the whole league had reasonable windows where their local team could win it all or could sign a marquee free agent from time to time. The NBA has a better financial model going than MLB along with more varaibility on who's playing for NBA titles from each conference, which is a black eye on MLB.
