    MacDonald riding with Geno

    Every day on TV, talking-head mediots screech that the only way a team can possibly win a Super Bowl is by having one of the top two or three QBs in the league. You're hearing parrots who have been hearing this for years and are dutifully repeating it. In the talking-head mediot (and...

    Oh, Bayless

    Yes, but can you tell us with a straight face that wouldn't be the case if "the money" were, say, $100?

    Mike Macdonald Explains Decision to Fire OC Ryan Grubb

    Yikes. For those that don't read Xitter, that xit suggests Huff might staying even though Grubb has been shown the door. I just don't see anything in Huff's work in 2024 that suggests he's ready to be an NFL OL coach. I dunno about first. The 2024 offensive playcalling actually looks worse...

    Will Barkley break the rushing record?

    Is this something you're saying from your years of experience hearing the private thoughts of the players as the Eagles' team consulting psychologist, Dr. @warden? How do you know the players won't respect that the coach didn't put a single player's chance at a meaningless counting record ahead...

    Will Barkley break the rushing record?

    By the same logic, Dickerson can kiss the ass of O.J. Simpson, who got over 2000 rushing yards in a 14-game season. He can also kiss the ass of Jim Brown, who got more yards in 14 games (1863) than Dickerson did in the first 14 of his best season (1792 yards). Why is 16 the magic number of...

    Friday Injury Report @ Rams

    I'm glad you mentioned this. As it took longer and longer for Lucas to come back from his knee issues when Carroll was still in charge, we got no clear details about the problem(s), but there were rumors and occasional words like "chronic" and even "degenerative," but even though I don't think...

    Final TV Map @ Rams

    I lived in the Santa Barbara area for a while, and even before the Rams pissed off the 14 people who actually liked them by going to St. Louis, that area was way more 49ers territory than Rams territory, despite being geographically much closer to L.A. than to San Francisco. I can't remember...

    The End Of A Family Tradition

    Yeah, well, the fact that these regular-season Netflix games set viewing records suggests that the NFL and the various companies making money from it are still well within what they can charge for access. I'm sure they have really good analytic-marketing people measuring this stuff carefully...

    The End Of A Family Tradition

    There are loads of "alternative" (pirate) streaming sites that let you watch a game live. You'd better have at least basic notions of web security if you're going to go poking around those places, even just to follow links and watch streaming video, but I got by in 2011-2017 with pirate streams...

    Haha good old Jake Curhan bailed us out

    Seahawks MVP for the game!

    Haha good old Jake Curhan bailed us out

    Came here to "like" somebody else's comment to that effect, 'cause I figured I wouldn't need to say it myself. Thank you for not disappointing me, .NET (as represented here by @MontanaHawk05).

    The End Of A Family Tradition

    Looking at how NFLX stock has been performing for well over a year, I'd say Netflix isn't all that worried about the "quite a few" people you say are boycotting it. And for what it's worth, those "quite a few" people are not getting the word out about their boycott very well, because your...

    Do you agree with Luke Willson?

    Right, because good NFL play callers are a dime a dozen and they're easy to find in week 12-13 of an NFL season. I think your argument in the later comment about why you think Grubb was the wrong choice is pretty good. I just think it's silly to suggest that the Seahawks could just magically...

    Home field advantage

    As more and more technological assistance for referees is implemented, there will be less and less home-field advantage in all sports. Home-field advantage has been shown pretty convincingly to come largely from referees being subtly influenced by the crowd and, consciously nor not, being more...

    RIP Rickey Henderson...

    In the words of Bill James, you could cut Henderson in half and have two Hall of Famers.

    17 Things I Saw vs the Packers

    That's just silly. Jackson is a two-time league MVP who is both the best passing QB and the best rushing QB in the league this season, and both by wide margins. If you'd like to bet that Kyler Murray will win even one NFL MVP award or that he'll be the best passing QB in the league at any...

    Why our Play Action Game Sucks...

    The thing is that @DarkVictory23 is right whether you disagree or not. Your second sentence is a great opportunity for me to use the old stat-nerd standby "'data' is not the plural of 'anecdote.'" Further, you've committed a logical error in your argument. Let's address that first...

    17 Things I Saw vs the Packers

    D00d... Allen and "maybe Lamar"? In what universe? Allen is getting all the MVP hype from the talking-head mediots, but Jackson has been clearly superior. Jackson's ANY/A (adjusted net yards per passing attempt, which takes into account TDs, interceptions, and sacks - I'll put the formula at...
