I think it absurd the additional game/season

Same amount would be hurt if there was only 16, but I'm wondering what affect all these rules and helmet upgrades are for if more players are going down. Tua starting tomorrow. I think he is making a mistake. They should institute and extra week off even if you are cleared IMO

Yeah I said so far it's been enough and really we aren't playing anyone super tough the rest of the way. But'we're going to face teams that can comeback later. The way players are dropping like flies, whatever it takes to keep the #1's on the field

I think more so... we will probably face teams that won't go down 3 scores in the first place.

True,that's why I have been complaining about being more consistent scoring and not getting used to or comfortable coasting in. I understand the clock burn,but like that last drive vs Dullaz,I would like to keep seeing that. Clock burning is great as long as you can score when you get there because eventually we're going to face teams that can comeback from 8-10 down. We should be fine as long as we don't lose too many to injury

GB....it's a totally different animal.   Running up the score vs bad teams doesn't effect one thing for when you face a good team.   Idk, I've used example of last year blowing out bad teams not having an effect vs Tampa.  We have seen this year where teams lose the leads even though they keep scoring in the 2nd half. 

How about this one....2007 Patriots offense,  could be considered the best of all time.  Running up the score on everybody.     They get to the Giants in the Superbowl... how did that work out?  Did throwing the ball up 28 in week 5 help them beat the Giants? 

There are no " habits" ...each game is different.   And I will point out again..  vs Dallas and Detroit...the offense iced the game when needed.  They also came back vs Jax.

When it's January and they face that playoff opponent... nothing they did week 2 or 3 is going to matter. It's just not.

This a very solid point. This team has shown they can win. Done it different every week. They really are very difficult with a lead. We have a good defense and can control and kill the clock. Can run the ball to ice the game even when everybody knows what we are doing. Won’t always have the lead but….arguably the team you most don’t want to get behind against. I’ve brought up SF for the last several years. What they’ve been great at. They can be physical and run the ball controlling the clock. Have a great D that can win games kicking field goals. Think they are a team that concerns me. Against Their great Dline I’d say our Oline is not at an advantage. Their super stud LB just controlled that game last year. I believe we are a better team but…I’d assume it would be a close game. Come down to the last drive by each team.

Tampa Bay not looking great this year. But in the big game by the end of the season they are still a big problem for us. Partly because of personnel. But just think Bowles is a problem for our coaches. Brady you always gotta give credit for being a problem for any D. Really glad we got that experience in their stadium postseason last year. I still believe it was huge for coaches and players. I know you and others poo pooed the team making the playoffs just to get blown out. But I then….maybe even more now really am glad we got there. I’m still concerned about our coaches being ready for that level. But without that experience last year…I would feel we would get bounced early in the postseason. Everything about that playoff game was huge experience to learn and grow from. Great D mind. Best ever clutch QB. Hostile road playoff game. Weren’t remotely ready for that last year. Fantastic learning experience though. Hope it pays off this year….and for many more. 

It’s the bye week so I’m going to let myself get completely carried away.

 

I’m not just wanting to try and win it all this year…I want this team to have opened that championship window for years of contending. But that’s where I would have preferred clearing the cap first. We are tight on the cap going forward. Tons of contract year players. Do have draft ammo…though hoping our own picks are at the worst of each round(32). Are we going to be better next season? Or do we take a step back? Can’t see us being able to keep all these talented defenders.

IDK that 6-8 points counts as "running up the score". We get lucky because our D picks off comeback attempts which once again has nothing to do with offensive output. I would like to see more balance between the 2 that's all because sometime the D is not going to get 2-3 picks in a game

Detroit is playing Dullaz right now,should be interesting to watch,I also get the TB/Panthers game which should not be interesting to watch lol

Daughter got me an Eagles totem-very cool

Dak sacked right off the bat

Biggest fantasy bust-Jonathan Taylor for the Colts-POS

I’m saying that we are so dangerous and great at running the ball and not turning it over….that we put major stress on anybody if we have the lead. So this massively helps the D. Makes the other guys more predictable. Unleashes our pass rush. Toughest thing for a D….is creating conflict for a defender. Him trying to figure out what you are up to and having a misstep in the wrong direction. Plus helping the DC with playcall and personnel. Best and easiest time for the D to make a play. If they are losing and you get them behind schedule for their first down. Down a score, later in the game even more so,  having a 3rd and 8 or more…time to tee off.

I haven’t really watched them much…what’s going with that?

Fantastic!

Rumor from one unnamed GM is two firsts for Burns

Would you do it?

My thinking is 2023 and 2024 first rounders of ours. So maybe I’m being too optimistic here….but I’d be predicting them being late first rounders.

One thing I haven’t heard anyone consider is keeping Shew as our backup going forward. Rosie has kind of traditionally been valueing backup QB more than the rest of the league.

Complete change of cap money spent at the position. Pay QB1 and QB2 instead of them being super cheap.

Bucs stink worse than last weeks trash

Think we’ve all assumed Shew leaves. But I was kind of thinking about the 32 teams and the starting situations. Not sure Shew gets a starting gig. Is he the choice over Cooper Rush? Baker Mayfield? Sam Darnold? There are several others. I would have thought over the Seattle QB. But not thinking that right now. Surprised how he is playing. Over Jamies Winston? If you add four QBs from this upcoming draft to the league…where does Shew rank? I was thinking maybe 38. Rush, Mayfield and Darnold I’m not real big on. But would think they are all around the same area(ranking wise).

I didn’t see the game today. Their O has been terrible. But they have some injuries. Their Oline could improve. Good D though. Aggressive playmakers. Bowles is on top of his game there also. Their Dline is strong. LBs they have several. Secondary is beast!

Next week I'm inviting Gisele over to watch the Bucs game with me 🤣

I see a Washington put in a real QB. They might start improving.

Jags only have Dallas left to beat to sweep our division.

When you say to sweep our division do you mean with losses for them?
