  1. The ripple effect might be wild. Bama's portal opened up for 30 more days. The HC they poach, their team's portal will open for 30 days and on down the line we go. Not sure how many players are going to start bailing, especially those who came to Bama to play for the legend in Saban. I'd imagine some won't really care either way, as long as they are getting paid and starting.
  2. Well neither of those kicks were do or die. So the game would continue on. Even if they lose those both, they end up with 4 rings. But if we are doing hypotheticals, they lost both Super Bowls to Eli with him completing some very improbable passes. That could have been 2 more. You can play this with so many games out there that could change the course of history.
  3. Carroll is a year older than Belichik. At some point, the grind of an NFL season isn't worth it at that age.
  4. Pete Carroll out as head coach in Seattle. How likely is it that Quinn fills that spot? I always feel he was just waiting for the right spot to open up.
  5. And Mahomes, like Brady, benefited from a division that gave him no real threat. Neither had another team that was even close. This allowed them to continue to dominate the division and get a bye in the wild card round.
  6. And Brady was the reason they won the 2 previous Super Bowls against Seattle and Atlanta. He played out of his mind when it mattered in the 4th in both of those. And his 4th quarter play almost didn't matter because the defense couldn't stop Seattle either. But Pete Carroll got cute and didn't run Lynch from the 2 and the rest is history.
  7. The shitty head coach remains though. If Fields is their QB next year, will have to learn another system.
  8. It's crazy that this could be the first year Mahomes actually plays a road playoff game. Has played 14 total playoff games, 11 at home and the other 3 were Super Bowls. Unless you count the Super Bowl against Tampa being a road game? It isn't one on paper. I'm not sure what the record is for most playoff games in a row at home. I'm sure Brady had a shit ton in a row at home.
  9. Can't be any worse than a random MAC game during the week or half of these shitty bowl games.
  10. Good for coaches to call out this blatant bias and fixing refs do. In any sport. But these leagues don't give a damn to actually fix it, they will just fine the coaches/players and tell them to shut up. There's a reason these leagues will fine coaches/players for calling out shit refs. Big 10 football refs...
  11. New England immediately got worse when Brady left. Tampa immediately wins the Super Bowl and a contender the next year. Not hard to see who was the driving force behind that dynasty. Bill hitched his wagon to shit ass Mac Jones. And yes, Bill became Mack Brown once the Vince/Colt era was over. Very lazy. In fact, Brady masked a lot of Bill's ego when they were together. Bill would draft the most random people.
  12. I haven't seen this brought up enough when everyone is saying how great shape Texas is going forward. Texas wasted this whole decade of the 4 team playoff era. 2014-2017 and 2020-2022 weren't even close to being contenders. 2018 was a very talented, scrappy team that could have made it if a few close losses went our way. You only need to win 2 games to win it all. Now, it's going to be more than that. That makes it much different. Making the playoffs in the new 12 team is not even the same as making it in the 4 team. Sure, you might make it more in the new 12 team but they don't hold the same weight. Football is a game of attrition. More games is more chances for injuries to important pieces. It's a game of inches and a few plays here and there make the difference, as Texas saw last week. Not to mention, moving to a different conference and more obstacles in our way. Washington is going to be kicking themselves, too because who the hell knows if they even sniff a title game moving to the Big 10 and the 12 team version. You can't just play the game if your life and get into the title game now. You need to repeat it multiple times.
  13. Does aggy take credit for our #3 ranking this season?
  14. He played that shit up for the cameras. Needed that sympathy since he shit all over the bed last night. He hit a deep pass late in the game, he was fine. Just picked the wrong time to have a terrible game. Michigan was begging Washington to take over that game all 2nd half but Washington offense said nah. In between the 2TD runs to start the game and the later part of the game, Washington defense did everything they could to keep them in the game.
  15. I think the NBC games are always simulcasted on Peacock such as the SNF games or playoffs but never exclusively like this year. Yes, it will be OTA for the KC and Miami markets.
  16. Thing is, Dallas did beat 3 playoff teams. At the time, the Rams looked like garbage when Dallas beat them. And Dallas handled them as such with a blowout win. But Rams might be the hottest team coming into the playoffs. Dallas destroyed Philly at home and beat Detroit in a close one. Seattle also wasn't a terrible team. They had the same record as Green Bay who made the playoffs but just didn't get the tie breaker to get in.. The playoffs teams Dallas lost to were SF, Philly, Miami and Detroit. Looked terrible in 2 of those and could have easily won the other 2. All of those were on the road. The ones they won were at home. Dallas is night and day different in all phases at home vs road. They have no excuses not to break that NFC championship game drought of nearly 30 years. If they can't do it this year with getting the first 2 games at home, then I don't see any hope with this core of coaches and players moving forward. Rams coming back to beat SF helped Dallas. It got them Green Bay instead of the Rams. We'll see if the Green Bay mojo against Dallas still holds now that Rodgers isn't there. Should be a good slate of games this round.
