Lol at Lombardi leaking the “bone on bone” thing the night before the draft

Why are people talking about Mitchell like he can be relied upon? Scouts dropped him because his knees were shot and nothing that’s happened the past two years suggests they will ever improve.

His stats (large RAC, small YPC) suggests he only really catches bubble screens and stuff out of the backfield. That explains the high catch rate. It's not like he's pulling balls down in traffic like Danny A.

Didn’t look good in college and ran behind very good lines in the pros. Not sure how talented he ever was and now he is on the wrong side of 30.

The NFL is an incredibly sophisticated, nuanced, and discrete organization in your imagination. Over here in the real world it is a bumbling mess that couldn’t fix its way out of a paper bag. But to each his own

Care to explain how the holding call in last years SB fits in to your theory?

He put the ball on a dime all night and even made plays the few times he had pressure. Maybe they could’ve jumped some routes or something but they ran a lot of interesting plays that got people open quickly. That’s what the Patriots have doing to others for years. Even when he threw down field...

People aren’t logical most of the time

Wait, are you saying the League Office deliberately set up a scenario where Goodell would be humiliated and booed off the stage in front of the world and Brady and the Patriots would be the heroes, even though they are despised by 31/32 fan bases ? Or are you saying that there are certain...

You think there is some grand plan by which the NFL picks winners in accordance with who has the best storyline? Does that mean SB 36 is tainted? Also, are you saying that the rest of the country wasn't sick of the Patriots winning last year? I would be fascinated if you truly believed such a...

Looks like a clean pocket and then all of the sudden Graham pinballs and comes from the outside. Brady probably relaxed when he saw that pocket form and thought he had the extra second that he didn’t have. It surprised me too watching it, it wasn’t the sort of pass rush that you see develop, it...

This was our best chance. Great bullrush by Harrison, Our best cover guy in great position to make the play, Gilmore was just one step off as you said. Foles gets credit for a quick release and accurate throw.

Because the NFL was scared to show the whole world how stupid the actual rule is.

Richards subs for a LB in sub packages, so Richards was not in for Butler. Bademosi had one target and one reception. So maybe Malcolm would have helped on that one play. Maybe. Is that why we’ve been going for 150 pages now?

Why only bring Butler in? If the whole defense was struggling, why not bring in all the backups? Give it a shot for a series. Right?

According to Jeff Howe, Rowe allowed 4/9 for 80 yards, with 3 PBUs. For context, Butler had 12 PBUs for the whole year. PFF gave Rowe the 4th highest grade on the team in SB 52 (third highest on D after Flowers and Gilmore). Rowe gave up some plays for sure but it wasn't anything markedly...

To cope with the loss, some posters are imagining a version of Malcolm Butler that obviously did not exist in Bill Belichick’s mind, and then further imagining that their imagination is a more accurate representation of the reality of Malcolm Butler than Belichick’s practice observations of the...

It wasn’t illegal because he was a runner at that point. Helmet to helmet isn’t illegal on runners (otherwise there would be a penalty every other play that a back goes into the line.)

We DID hear from Butler. He seemed to say he thought it was performance related. “They gave up on me. [Expletive]. It is what it is,” Butler told them. “I don’t know what it was. I guess I wasn’t playing good or they didn’t feel comfortable.” ‘I could have changed that game,’ says benched...

He shook Foles’ hand. It was right between the 2-4-6-8 chant and the passing out of the participation trophies.
