Bills need a fluky turnover to win this game
-
The Bills have big plays all day down the field if they want them with the insane coverage kc is playing As i type this, there's one
-
Hamlin got held on the edge on that TD run, too
-
Yep...it's been enough at critical points to flat out be rigged, and there's nothing the league can say or do to convince me otherwise.
-
I dont know how the footage wasn't definitive...smh

Living just west of MPLS, so not really WI-specific winter weather - lack of snow is getting annoying, but temperatures have been much more winterlike compared to last year...so much so that there's pretty much 2 solid feet of really good ice on local lakes and unleashing anyone with ice fishing gear out on them. Happy about that after ice was barely walkable for a small portion of last year's winter around here! Could really use a week or two to get some legitmate snow on the ground so my son has more than fake snow to learn how to snowboard on a few times, lol

that is way oversimplifying things considering Sasaki is 23 and can essentially step into MLB on day 1 as a TOR-type pitcher, where most international signees get signed 6 or so years younger and teams do have to wait 2-4 years to understand if they're destined for MLB or not. The Dodgers can afford only signing 1 international player in this type of cycle when everyone knows he's a MLB-ready bonafide ace, and they have no need to worry about what their roster will look like 5-6 years from now since they can just sign the best free agents almost at will to fill any holes down the road.

Yes - why any other organization in MLB is willing to make any sort of trade with the Dodgers is beyond me. Honestly, I don't care if they have tons of great prospects/blocked young players. Honestly, screw them and force them to have to flat out release young talent for nothing because they have an all star team all on longterm deferred money deals. I would be fully on board with an extended strike that costs a season or two when the next CBA gets negotiated if it meant evening the financial playing field and taking away all the advantages the Dodgers organization currently has over the rest of MLB. I don't know why more small to mid market teams aren't already fully on board with that premise. You can pencil in the Dodges for 95+ wins every season in perpetuity - even with the rest of their division doing everything it can to try and keep up.

That's a different ballgame...im not saying teams can throw a challenge flag - the amount of time it would take a booth official with a monitor to overturn a terrible personal foul call is equal to the time it takes for officials on the field to state the penalty. It's gotten bad enough where something needs to change
-
Yeah that's an impossible topic for Mahomes to answer honestly....but then just shut your mouth and say we play to win the game and not to influence officiating calls or something like that. At this point it's obvious, even to Chiefs fans, that the officials are in Mahomes' and companies' back pockets. I really hope the NFL fixes this over the offseason by making all 15-yard unsportsmanlike calls for "late hit/blow to the head/unnecessary roughness/etc" reviewable by an official in the booth who can radio down to the head umpire while they are in the process of assessing that penalty to tell him to pick up a bad flag. I also think there should be the ability for referees to throw an unsportsmanlike conduct flag on a player that's actively trying to draw these type of late hit flags or embellishing contact along the sideline/after a play is finished in hopes to draw a 15 yard penalty.
-
If they take on all of Metcalf's contract, a late 2nd/early 3rd rounder sounds about right + Doubs....although that assumes Doubs' multiple concussions late this year aren't a longterm concern. Knowing whoever would trade for Doubs would likely need to extend him diminishes his value even further.
-
I think you're right - there's definitely a growing chasm between those top 5-6 teams and the rest of the league. What's even a bigger joke is the yearly payrolls don't take into account the financial gymnastics huge market teams make with deferred salaries each year (i.e., Ohtani's payroll figure for the Dodgers was $2M last year). The deferred money weirdness teams with huge TV contracts can do skews haves from have nots in terms of who can actually pay the "going rate" for top tier free agents, too.

2024 Miscellaneous College Football thread
Fear The Chorizo replied to LouisEly's topic in Other Sports
If they do that, SEC will probably say "hold my beer' and make their conference championship games between the 3rd place teams in each of their divisions while giving the top 4 teams "byes" and then stating they should have 5 teams in a 12 team CFP. unintended consequences of an expanded playoff, here we come - that and the fact most people have next to no care about who's actually going to win it all anymore, and we're in year 1 of this 12 team expansion. -
After that Chiefs/Texans game totally hinged on several terrible roughing/unnecessary roughness calls on Mahomes, and also saw him flop like Vlade Divac on another run out of bounds that wasn't flagged, plus having Aikman in the national TV booth openly criticizing Mahomes getting those calls to extend drives that led to points and frankly being the difference in the game, I'm really hoping the NFL talks with whomever the officiating crew is for Sunday's AFC Championship game is to emphasize those calls or anything close to them can't be repeated. Especially not with the potential league MVP on the other sideline this time around. When you've got a quarterback actively looking to draw roughing penalties on defensive players because he knows they're already apprehensive to go full steam at him because of the rep he has drawing laundry from officials, it's not football anymore and takes away from everything else Mahomes does spectacularly on the field and becomes annoying as hell to watch if you're not a Chiefs fan. Man I hope the Bills win Sunday - and it wouldn't bother me at all if it's because they knock Mahomes out of the game early when he's extending a play outside the pocket by trying to play games with the sideline/draw a roughing flag and a defender with bad intentions reminds him how risky that should be for him to do.

Left to a blown blocking assignment to seal it, I guess. Crazy, but the Commanders should be the favorite next Sunday
-
Hang on...
-
It is impossible to play physical secondary defense in today's NFL. Totally clean hit on Smith on a deep pass into double coverage that Hurts hung him out to dry draws a 15 yard penalty. Then again, last week the Eagles were running g around spearing Packers and no flags - the only thing consistent is how inconsistently some if these rules are applied by officials.
-
What a stupid time to get gimmicky by the Lions. I don't trust Goff in a big game and don't trust a Campbell-led team to make good decisions in big games.. never have, never will
-
Jaire needs to be traded for just about anything at this point if the Packers walk away with some cap relief, too. The knock on him was his size coming out of college likely leading to injury concerns at the NFL level, and that has really played out as he's aged (and once he signed that extension which he honestly did deserved based on his on-field performance). Between him and Bakh, those contracts have been pretty rough.
-
I tend to agree on the Darnold decision, but either way I think the vikes are set for a big step back next year. I don't see how Flores doesn't get a head coaching gig somewhere else this offseason.
-
Yep - Jerry is the problem and will continue to be until he gets a gm/pres of football ops in there and stays in his owners box
-
They have a solid cap situation besides the fact they have a ton of free agents not counting toward their 2025 roster budget...and the fact they have to decide whether or not to overpay to keep Darnold around or let their 1st round QB from last year take over with zero NFL experience. The Vikings continue to field an "in between" roster that both isn't bad enough to tear down/rebuild and isn't good enough at key spots to win in January.
-
It doesn't help that the most physically gifted WR on the roster (Watson) hasn't been able to stay healthy enough to develop, and the receiver who appears best suited for those intermediate/possession type routes (Doubs) also now has head injury concerns. Those are probably #s 1 and 2 on the depth chart when healthy, and them on the field would make the depth the Packers have with the rest of the young wideouts look really damn good (especially Reed and Wicks as #3-4 options). It's not a surprise to me that the offense struggled with big plays in the passing game the last month or so, when both Watson and Doubs were taking turns missing games due to injuries. Both of them being question marks (or in Watson's case a likely afterthought with that knee injury) heading into 2025 means the Packers need to target signing a big time veteran WR and draft one early. Depth isn't valuable at a position in the NFL unless it's led by at least one impact talent - right now the Packers don't have that in their building at wideout.

Slay looks to have only 1 shoulder right now

dammit they had a hole for Jacobs there on that flag
