Madrid has the sprawl which Barcelona has less of but the urban cores are quite similar in density. The interesting neighborhoods are not touristy in Madrid and still near the center whereas in Barcelona the core areas are overrun (they now have a tourist tax for cruise ships). With rents being...

I think I read something about how the Camp Nou can’t be adapted so easily to football whereas the Bernabeu can which may be why they are looking at Madrid. Living in Spain now part of the year I prefer Madrid to Barcelona (over touristed and too many expats). More cultural influence from the...

The Dolphins have only won 1 game agianst a team with a winning record. Paper tigers all year.

The route running problems show up vs pressure. I think the WRs are not adjusting their routes correctly and Mac is less accurate in getting it to the hot read spot. Also KBs routes seem poor on a regular basis (which is too bad since he's the best at YAC on the team; Pop might be able to...

There are a few factors working against mac and the offense: 1. Third system in three years with 3 different OCs. 2. An oline that was suspect at times last year and hasn’t had time to come together as a core group of 5. The bad 3rd throws are mac anticipating pressure and throwing too early...

They have had far more success with late round and UDFA OL talent than trying to draft WR and TE (except for Gronk/murderer). Given how lackluster the WR/TE class was this year from a difference maker standpoint I am not surprised with the moves.

On the lack of draft picks on offense and the need to improve, I’m not so worried about skill position players. Everyone trashing last years’ offense should remember that the difference between 2022 and 2021 (where the offense was the 6th highest in scoring) was a solid O line and competent...

They won’t do Saturday but there seems to be momentum for Monday night. This is the backup plan in case Giants/Jets or Chargers/Rams forced both games in the same stadium.

Any list of the worst fanbases that doesn’t have Duke fans #1 is bereft if any credibility.

it doesn’t really matter whether the tuck rule was called correctly. The biggest missed call on the play was Woodson’s slap to Brady’s head that should have been flagged as a personal foul. 15 yds and a first down would have put us in a better position.

The only fair way is sudden death but a silent auction to determine who and where the ball is spotted (closest to own end zone to go plays offense). Unless every team submits the 1 yard line it removes the coin toss advantage entirely.

I root against threats to the patriots legacy. If a team has our 6 Super Bowls within sight (eg 49ers) I’m against them. If people are saying Mahomes or Rodgers is the real goat and just needs 1 more to surpass Tom Brady then I’m rooting against them.

Reid, Mahomes and the offense need to rely on more than 4-6 second busted plays to move the ball. Mahomes and the offense need to be more efficient working within the system, taking what the defense gives them. The Bills has a similar issue in Game 1 against the Pats but killed the pats in game...

They'd be better if they had a more consistent offense. The only time they've had that was the first half of 2018 before they got rid of Hunt.

KC's problem is their team hasn't been good enough overall to win superbowls on a consistent basis. Mahomes is great, possibly the best QB in the game but the run game, OL and defense are streaky at best and there are only so many times Mahomes can beat defenses by avoiding the rush for 4-8...
