SCREENS WITH BLOCKERS!

I really hate Siri.

This made me recall all the illegal player downfield penalties the team started getting a couple of seasons ago; when the Zebras started picking on the team - presumably an owner or two got into ole Roge's ear about it.. I note some teams still get a lot of latitude in that regard

As an aside, I watched bits of 2 games this weekend and the officiating in the league is both bad and wildly different between games. They still can't say what a catch is

I was born and raised in Chicago. Chicago sport fans are uneducated f holes that think every year is the year no matter the team/sport. First good season in 7 years and they think their God's gift to the universe. F em. I'm enjoying the Rams W. Get to text all my buddies that are Chicago fans. Dumb fogtags

Yep and as an eagles fan I really haven't talked crap I just wear my hat all the time.

It's nice and quiet this morning though at work

We’re going to see guys like Pierce and Doubs command $20M a year on the open market. If a WR is there at 23, it’s better to be a year too early than too late.

I suspect this draft will be some order of WR, OL, TE in the top three rounds.

the way I’m leaning. Especially after hearing the presser last week. I wouldn’t entirely rule out defense early if a player unexpectedly falls that they love. But i tend to think it’s going to be OL, TE and WR early as well.

It makes sense to do it a year early then just wait until you get rid of AJ Brown in 2027. Get a year of on the job training in the nfl and you hope can step in once Aj is gone. That said got to hope Howie hits on the WR. Our track record besides Devonta isn’t great

His fav diner def has a free beer with every coffee!

For years and years I've always said in the first round, get your guy and draft for need if you have to. After that you can draft BPA.

I was talking about Sadiq and TE in the first round, but watching those games this weekend and seeing all the QBs handing the ball to the other team 20 times, it refocused me on the running game and the OL. Especially if it is not a deep OL draft, maybe that's where it's gotta be.

We have to come away with at least one TE though

I think this will likely be the case as well. Defense will potentially drop off a bit, but they should still be more than good enough if the offense rebounds

To the bolded part I still think that cooks play was an interception. don’t think he maintained it as he hit the ground when you watched it from the one an angle i posted earlier yesterday. It looks like he initially has it going to the ground and then when he hits the ground, it starts to move out of his hand and the defender lands on him and ball switches to him at that point. That said whatever they ruled on the field is what it would’ve been after replay. I don’t think there was conclusive evidence either way to overturn it. The Davante Adams one we see every week. The guy catches it then it’s getting tackled and they try to rip it out. If defender gets it before the knee hits it’s a forced fumble and fumble recovery

Kind what we assumed this year that the defense would drop off a little but offense having a better passing game could make up for it.

I kind of think we spent money in FA on defense. I see us signing a second corner, bringing back Reed and maybe a rotational DE/pass rusher if Phillips is gone. Some stuff around the margins on offense with signings.

Chance the bears release Cole kmet it saves them $8.4 mil if done before March 15. Have Loveland who’s ready for a bigger role. Could also try trading him before doing so. I actually don’t think he’s a bad option at TE as he’s still young at 26. Reading a lot of bears breakdowns he apparently has gotten much better as a blocker. Can still draft a TE but wouldn’t have to be as early in the draft.

There was a catch (one of the few) from a Texan yesterday where the ball moved through the process of the catch and the TV were trying to work out the degree of contact the ball made with the floor,and it made it a catch. The level of nuance on what is a catch, let alone the officials managing to consistently call it gives me such little confidence.

I do the think the Cooks call was correct; harsh if you are Bills fans but correct. I have no faith the same decision will be made next week

I mean inconsistency in the NFL is there every week. Pass interference every week is inconsistently called. I’ve been a proponent that you have somebody in the booth watching all this and if they see something that they feel is worthy of a penalty that they can buzz down and tell the officials so you can get it right. Or if there’s a penalty that’s just kind of BS they can also buzz down so they can get it right. We have the ability to have better ways to get consistent officiating and just not using it.

Heck in that bills game that game shouldn’t even come to that. Because if you watch when Josh Allen is in the end zone, there are two holding calls that should’ve been made. I said it at the time it’d be the funniest thing for the NFL to have a playoff game ending with a holding call for a safety in overtime. Because everybody was lost their mind about how holding could be called any time throughout the course of the game. And I guarantee Buffalo Bills fans would’ve been found like three other plays where holding should’ve been called and said you could’ve called it there, but didn’t but you called it the biggest point of the game.

Coen did well. glizzard’s offense got banged up in 2025 but even when they finally got health they were pretty brutal the last month and a half of the year. Bucs last 7 games of the season they scored over 20 points in only 1 game

There’s too many good open spots for coaches this year

This could hurt the Eagles or help if Joe Brady shakes loose. McDermott could get one of the other jobs now

Agree. The issue is with instant replay and coach reviews, they still can't get it right. But its not the only issue out there; holding, what is OPI/DPI etc. The NFL has a long way to go to make the officiating even consistently average

Daboll going back to the bills?

I wouldn’t want to hire Grizzard as OC but as a WR coach/passing game coordinator? Sign me up. I suspect he lands in Jacksonville if their OC gets the Cleveland job.

Frankly, he deserved to be fired. He probably should’ve been gone a couple years ago when Sean Payton became available. And they could’ve had him instead and maybe that’s the guy that gets some over the top kind of like gruden
