  1. I swear that trick play killed whatever drive that was. Nonetheless I feel pretty confident that the AFC champion will dominate the NFC champion (hoping the Lions make SB.) SF lost to Browns, Ravens and Bengals in the regular season beating only Pittsburg. Buffalo is on a roll. KC can still be deadly. I mean we’ve seen the best of the AFC and NFC and the NFC got trounced mostly in head to heads with AFC in regular season.
  2. Have to have a decent few minute TD scoring drive to give them any chance and defense to rest a bit.
  3. Stupid trick play. Wasn’t needed and killed momentum. I said earlier this might be a tight game come down to special teams. Texans still in this with missed FG and other mistakes. Need a big stop. 🛑
  4. They certainly celebrated aesthetically beautiful babes. My dad loved Kathy Ireland…Elle McP also.
  5. This is a weird matchup to me with a healthy Stroud. Texans have a great OLine if starters are good to go. Depth is an issue. Tank Dell was a big loss at WR so their WRs and RBs/TEs have to step up. That’s a weakness. BUT… we have never seen a good Lamar in the post season and he can be inconsistent. Baltimore’s big weakness is special teams and Frank Ross’s unit with the Texans is pretty much the best ST in the NFL two years running. I favor the Texans in this matchup and I can’t say why. It just feels like that. (Watch it be a Ravens beatdown) I think we will see some surprises this weekend.
  6. Raiders are positioned well in the draft for a QB. Don’t know how many draft picks they have but I love Antonio Pierce! I think he will be a great HC. Just follow in steps of DeMeco and so forth. It’s wonderful for the league to have black HCs on higher profile teams. The Raiders because of the venue are a premiere destination—plus they want a winning team there. It’s all about the QB/OC and offensive staff. They will try and attract FA’s with hopefully a flashy/great OC hire. Defense has great pieces and can sell itself. So happy for AP! Makes you want to root for the Raiders. If Andy Reid retires at the end of this post season that division is going to be interesting. New HC for Charger, possibly new HC for Chiefs if speculation is true, Raiders with new HC and Denver will be starting over at QB like the Raiders. That will be one competitive SOB if all the HCs hit/QBs hit for the two needing them. Mahomes and Herbert make it a tough division.
  7. The hard truth is the NFL is trending away from defense minded head coaches in favor of younger more innovative offensive minded head coaches. You can still get and keep a great job if you’re a defense oriented HC but you’d better win consistently and get the QB right and the right OC. The league is just trending that way. It’s not like they don’t want defense or a great DC just not a HC with that mindset. Like I said if you’re elite HC or seen that way you will still get HC job, but you’d better fucking win. As soon as the offense falters pundits and writers and so forth will be calling for your ass.
  8. I think Chicago made that move to appeal to Caleb here. Caleb likes him from his brief time at USC.
  9. Case Keenum and Baker Mayfield as well and he did identify Mahomes for Tech even though as HC didn’t do as much as he could have by far with him. Also it helps if the OC has played QB before. This is a good move and clean slate move for him any positive improvement or impact on offense will be noticeable. He can still ID and develop talent. He won’t be distracted by sucking as a HC. He’s good on this role and it’s where he should stay. But he won’t if he has a couple of kickass years in Chicago. They’ve got pieces there just need some help on offense and good draft or two. They’ve got good players.
  10. That’s actually not a bad hire. He’s not a HC but he is good with QBs and play calling when he’s not the HC. He can identify and develop talent at that position. It either works here or another one way ticket to Thailand again.

    Applewhite Out

    Can see him using this as a springboard to Miss State or perhaps Auburn…or West Virginia. He will have options if he does well as HC at South Alabama. The slate is clean. 🧼
  12. CliffsNotes version: Victim in classroom 111 and 112 could hear officers outside the room as they waited to be rescued, Garland said. Garland outlined the confusion at the school. Some officers not knowing who was in charge or what to do. Some thought the shooter was dead. Victims remained trapped with thier shooter for more than hour after officers arrived, Garland said. Some officers had no active shooter training, some had inapropriate training and and some lacked critical response training, and a vast majority had never trained together with different agencies, Garland said. Some injured victims were put on buses without medical attention. Some families were told thier family members were alive when they were not, Garland said. U.S. Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta highlighted the many mistakes that were made that day, including families being told a bus of survivors was on the way to a pick up point and it never arrived https://www.kvue.com/article/news/special-reports/uvalde-school-shooting/uvalde-texas-school-shooting-justice-department-report/285-0e2ddc9a-003c-473d-abf3-34c1c5faaf40 Damnit. I can search out a word perfect enough for how I feel reading the docs posted above and this article or how many of us have felt since the time of the incident and then reading about the catastrophic failures of LE and the consequences of those failures. Again failure and catastrophic aren’t good enough words. Fuck.
  13. What about mountains? I’m in North Carolina man…mountains.
  14. Yes he is. Texans found a HC and a franchise elite QB. They picked the right time to start flashing what they can do. Lots of teams will be looking to poach their staff. Good for DeMeco and Stroud.
  15. Are we expecting any portal athletes from Georgia? Getting on my flight from Austin to Atlanta and definitely a Georgia player on my plane. Could just have family here though. I was trying to visualize DeBoer with the Bear Bryant style hat on. Could never see Saban in that look but Saban beyond exceeded everyone’s wildest expectations .
  16. People keep trying to draw comparisons from Harsin to DeBoer it’s such a joke. Harsin was a Scientology weirdo. He did alright at Texas and he was good for Boise State but the career trajectory and wins and losses aren’t equal. Not even close. He didn’t want to gel with the boosters or highschool coaches or do all the things expected. He was a bad fit because he’s not a P5 (or whatever P3 now) HC. DeBoer wins everywhere he’s been and a winner will always fit in. If he wants to badly enough. Auburn is kinda a wreck how they have run things. Their AD is crazy and their BMDs are as meddlesome as ours. At least now we have ours under control.
  17. If it’s true that the Bama AD has had his eye on DeBoer for a couple of months at least—interesting how it worked out for them. I don’t see any of the other candidates having the temperament and steady going nature to work with Saban and the boosters. Kalen isn’t afraid of the shoes he’s filling. He can certainly deal with crazy Bama folks.
  18. If I am Washington I go grab Pete Carroll at least as a consultant. He still wants to coach. Fuck his desk job with Seattle. That would bring some excitement and buzz for a year or two. You just need him as a stop gap to grab the next up and coming coordinator/HC.
