I think losing arguably the best player on the team after Parsons is going to impact the offense. They were super thin on a mediocre offensive line and lost Jenkins. Any playoff wins will be frosting, IMO.
Obviously my predicted score was a joke but I thought there was a good chance it'd be relatively low scoring. Maybe IU scores 28 points here in the 2nd half but as I said before last week UW's defense has been playing better going back to the Ohio State game (score didn't reflect it there).
There is more to it, particularly regarding the state, but that's probably as far as we should take the discussion, as it will more than likely veer off into political madness..
It's a long ways away but I'll bet there is still something on the line for them. The NFC is gonna be a dogfight for that #1 seed (and probably 2, 3, 4 seeds too) between DET, PHI, LAR, and SEA
Is it your contention that leaving the parking lot empty for 3/4 of the year (probably more since it's rarely if ever full for games) is a better use of the land?
Not sure it's been mentioned but some info on compensation if he signs elsewhere:

I think when you have a mediocre offensive line, you can get by with elite play by the QB. You can get elite play from a good but not elite QB when he has all his weapons. Love was OK last night but missed some throws that someone like Mahomes might make. He also had some drops by guys that were WRs but converted to DB but then converted back to WR because of injuries.
The issue I have with MLF is his insistence on running the same offense with less effective skill position players. It ain't working, dude. He was so good at designing a really creative running offense when Malik Willis was in there. You can't watch Jacobs get 3.5 yards per carry and be satisfied.
