Brady looked off until the end

#

And Wirfs looked gimpy

celest zephyr
#

Matt rhule getting an a+ for his hire LOL

smoky fable
#

Well I doubt people will go to Nebraska anyways

rustic ore
celest zephyr
#

well that’s just another nail in the coffin

rustic ore
#

So that's fun

celest zephyr
#

Hey if you don’t make it he can heal

rustic ore
#

I don't want them to make it

#

Badly

#

Because I already know how it's gonna end

celest zephyr
#

Got to hope the panthers don’t choke

rustic ore
#

Gonna get steam rolled at home against Dallas

#

Please

#

Please take the division Carolina

#

They'll screwed the pooch and likely keep Wilks

smoky fable
#

So that’s something

smoky fable
celest zephyr
#

Yeah yeah doesn’t mean much in the playoffs lol

rustic ore
#

Please don't wish that for my guys

#

Anything that might potentially keep Leftwich and or Bowles is bad

celest zephyr
#

Bucs about to win against tjr cowboys just to get spanked by the eagles

rustic ore
#

I want an actual NFL OC

smoky fable
celest zephyr
#

Joe judge come on down

rustic ore
#

I want an HC who doesn't have the personality of drying paint and can actually make adjustments

smoky fable
#

He’s not bad

#

Cardinals fans are too hard on him

rustic ore
#

Dude I would take Kliff as an HC in a heartbeat

dawn tapir
celest zephyr
#

Yes

#

Brady carrying a terrible squad to the playoffs

smoky fable
rustic ore
#

Shit if he pulled off that kind of miracle just give him the franchise

celest zephyr
#

Tampa bay Bradys

smoky fable
rustic ore
#

Our mascot will be an avocado ice cream

smoky fable
#

It’s inevitable

rustic ore
#

I know

#

I hope he does

celest zephyr
#

He’s going to retire

rustic ore
#

He doesn't deserve to suffer through a rebuild

#

He deserves to go out with 1 more title

celest zephyr
#

Can they even rebuild with him there?

rustic ore
#

Nope

#

Too expensive

celest zephyr
#

And also he’ll make them too good

rustic ore
#

Even with a team friendly deal

#

That too

#

Need someone who isn't trying to win next season so we have a shot at tanking to possibly get Caleb Williams or Drake Maye in 2024

smoky fable
celest zephyr
#

Taylor heinicke

rustic ore
#

Hell if I know

celest zephyr
#

He’s a ufa

rustic ore
#

I would hope Devin White so we don't have to pay his overrated ass near 20 mil a year

smoky fable
celest zephyr
#

Dalton ain’t bad

smoky fable
#

He was hurt this game but has been down and up this year

rustic ore
#

Yeah that contract extension for Vita is biting us in the ass a bit this year

celest zephyr
#

They just need a solid qb that doesn’t suck so hard that the team doesn’t turn on him

rustic ore
#

But he's also gotten more sacks for us than any other player

#

So I don't know what to make of that

celest zephyr
#

Someone like brisett, Dalton, heinicke would be fine

dawn tapir
#

Would Daniel jones be a good fit on the bucs?

smoky fable
celest zephyr
#

Maybe

#

He ain’t that bad

#

They just need serviceable

#

Yay hockey is back tomorrow

#

Rangers penguins and leafs in action

dawn tapir
#

will the raiders trade carr in the offseason?

rustic ore
#

So question mark on him

haughty moss
rustic ore
#

Shaq Barrett had a nice 2 year stretch with us but is very inconsistent

#

Also he's been out for the year most of the season due to injury

celest zephyr
#

That’s pretty tempting to take

#

Tbh I’d do that instead of trading him

#

It’s a hard pill to swallow with his contract for any team trading for him

rustic ore
#

CD3 is one of the best press man CBs in the game and I get so angry whenever Bowles makes him run mostly zone

#

That's not his strength

#

He doesn't have top end speed, so he'll get burned on occasion

celest zephyr
#

Like idk how many teams would want Carr at that price and give the raiders positive value

rustic ore
#

He'll also gets flagged occasionally but I can deal with it as a package deal for him

celest zephyr
#

Nah they don’t have anything really lol

#

Plus think they draft qb

dawn tapir
#

true but giants or washington getting carr would be decent

rustic ore
#

Carr is at an Andy Dalton stage in his career

#

He's a mentor/stop gate QB for younger guys

celest zephyr
#

I think Washington sticks with heinicke tbh

dawn tapir
celest zephyr
#

They aren’t a qb away from doing anything

rustic ore
#

Tried to run his NE offense when he didn't have the pieces to run it

celest zephyr
#

Giants maybe but think they shouldn’t

rustic ore
#

Giants should absolutely go QB

dawn tapir
#

Giants might go after lamar

rustic ore
#

Richardson would be perfect to sit and develop

#

Lamar is getting tagged, Baltimore isn't stupid enough to let him walk for free

celest zephyr
#

Yeah they should draft qb

rustic ore
#

I don't like the tag

#

Should be gone

celest zephyr
#

Giants going for Jimmy g lol

rustic mountain
#

The tag for qb is ridiculously high tho

#

Just saying

rustic ore
#

Let guys go where they want if teams are too cheap to negotiate in good faith

celest zephyr
#

Lamar is worth as much if not more

rustic ore
#

I would hand Lamar a blank check yesterday

rustic mountain
#

I am just saying if Baltimore hasnt committed to that big money yet

#

Idk why theyd tag

rustic ore
#

They haven't committed because they've never been in this situation before

dawn tapir
#

would they trade lamar for lots of picks?

rustic ore
#

Closest they came was Flacco, who only got his extension after the SB

rustic mountain
#

Also

rustic ore
#

A contract that ultimately he didn't live up to

rustic mountain
#

When is the last time tagging a high profile player lead to an extension

rustic ore
#

Define high profile

rustic mountain
#

Players who change the outlook of a team

rustic mountain
#

Like Jackson

rustic ore
#

Hmm

celest zephyr
#

Thank god for the hornets sucking

rustic mountain
#

Hell even Wes Welker for new england didnt work out well at all

celest zephyr
#

Damn Eubanks kinda nice

#

Super efficient

rustic mountain
#

We will beat em blue

#

And Binnington will be a baby about it

celest zephyr
#

The leafs are already blue

rustic mountain
#

Yeah but they are the blues

#

So we will beat them more blue

celest zephyr
#

Good damnit blazers put them away

rustic ore
#

I mean the Packers tagged Adams but that was only to trade him to Vegas who then re-signed him

rustic mountain
#

So I say that didnt work

rustic ore
#

Think you could argue Vegas doesn't win a game this year without Adams

celest zephyr
#

Going to make the blues write a song like their name

rustic mountain
#

Because GB still failed to hold on to Adams

rustic ore
#

Fair

celest zephyr
rustic mountain
#

Tagging imo only pisses off the player. It usually leads to bad times

#

Not always

#

But usually

celest zephyr
#

Get rid of tagging

#

So dumb

rustic mountain
#

I hate it too

#

You know what I really hate? Salary cap. Only because I think owners are just hoarding to high hell

celest zephyr
#

Idk the nfl would have significantly worse parity without it

rustic ore
#

Yeah I'd say hard cap is necessary for the NFL

#

Otherwise players will just try to make super teams

#

And that's boring

celest zephyr
#

Yeah it’d make a lot of teams unviable

rustic ore
#

But even then they never got back to the SB with him after 2009

rustic mountain
#

Then implement a punishment for teams not putting the effort and also block moves to create parity

celest zephyr
#

Well there was 2018

rustic mountain
#

What was 2018

#

And that could be your answer buc

celest zephyr
#

No call dpi

#

I mean there already is one it’s called being broke lol

rustic ore
#

Getting proper shafted by the refs, couldn't happen to a nicer franchise after Bountygate

celest zephyr
#

Or after what they did with the church

rustic mountain
#

I mean are they really broke or are they like the A's and Royals and claiming broke?

#

You know?

celest zephyr
#

I mean would the jags not be broke lol?

rustic mountain
#

Would they??

celest zephyr
#

Like idk maybe the cap can go up

rustic mountain
#

You know all the owners split revenue right?

celest zephyr
#

They do but they wouldn’t afford to catch up lol

#

It’s not like the entire pot is divided

rustic mountain
#

Ticket sales, merch, etc etc. Part of why Snyder is cooked

#

No but I have my big ass doubts

#

I think owners are far far more able to spend than they say

#

Pure and simple

celest zephyr
#

Fair enough

#

Idk I’ve seen enough not hard cap to be like idk if it’s a good idea

#

Baseball is a cesspool

rustic mountain
#

Baseball's luxury tax system isnt good either but tbh

celest zephyr
#

Nba soft cap still allows teams like the warriors to spend an ass ton

rustic mountain
#

Cohen's spending should be closer to the norm

celest zephyr
#

F1 had teams struggling to be viable at the lower end

rustic mountain
#

May be a hot take

#

But

celest zephyr
#

Ngl I like when sports isn’t just like a ton of cash

#

Like what’s really the point of a league when there’s a massive discrepancy between how much teams spend

rustic mountain
#

It already is a ton of cash. Just the "smaller markets" are spending less is all

celest zephyr
#

Yeah but I mean just throwing cash at your problems

rustic mountain
#

That's what sports is

#

Throwing cash at problems

celest zephyr
#

Really? I mean teams still have to spend wisely in a cap league

rustic mountain
#

Explain the LA Rams

celest zephyr
#

So they gambled and won a ring and now suck?

rustic mountain
#

They didn't gamble other than their draft picks, they threw money, won, then got hurt

#

They'd be in the thick of things too if their best players didnt all get hurt

celest zephyr
#

Yeah but that’s the price for little depth

#

And guys who can only do a small role

rustic mountain
#

But this is a whole different convo if they are all healthy

celest zephyr
#

Nah it was always the risk lol

rustic mountain
#

No one at all talked about that risk

#

You know as well as I do, that wasnt on anyone's mind

celest zephyr
#

I can’t read people ‘s minds

rustic mountain
#

It at the very least wasnt being talked about

#

That tells me enough

celest zephyr
#

Hey listen we disagree and it’s w/e

rustic mountain
#

Fair enough, no biggie

celest zephyr
#

You’ll still lose in the end by having to watch the pats in the playoffs

rustic mountain
#

The only loser here is the rest of the league when Tom Purdy, the newest SF goat, leads the 49ers to the title

rustic mountain
#

ESPN Analyst really flexing that muscle

#

At least he has the ultime teabag in the world on McDaniels

rustic mountain
#

So glad that we got one memey win

#

And then just total shit

#

Fuck Jim Irsay

rustic ore
#

Thoughts?

smoky fable
#

That’s probably not happening

#

Harbaugh

rustic ore
#

Yeah

#

Got a good thing going at Michigan rn

#

Not sure he wants to be micromanaged by a GM again

#

But maybe that just was Baalke being Baalke

#

Who knows?

smoky fable

rustic ore
#

Only issue with Payton (besides him needing to have interest in the Denver job) is that you'd have to swing a trade with NO, and considering Denver doesn't have much on the high end in regards to picks thanks to the Russ trade that might be a hard sell

#

Could make a lot of sense to bring in Schottenheimer as OC though, him or Bevell from when Russ was performing near his best in Seattle

#

For Denver's sake I would just hate to loss Evero

smoky fable

Unless of course Denver threw in young talent that could be building blocks

smoky fable
#

Arians went for less

rustic ore
#

Arians is also about 20 years older than Payton and had health concerns

#

And Ari had already hired a new HC so there obviously wasn't a spot for him

Imagine Martinelli,Saka and Nketiah being subbed off meanwhile Mudryk,Felix and Smith Rowe come on

@atomic locust Liverpool now has signed another Dutch starlet

Blind?

#

Another guy

dim ledge
#

Yes Gakpo

hasty basin
#

I'd take Blind for our team any day of the week

#

I don't wanna employ Zemura

#

As a starter

#

Poor guy tho

#

Earns below 1k

#

Per week

#

Lol

short flame
#

I’d take blind in my team as well

#

But you do have robertson as left back

lofty lava
#

Liverpool would benefit from the signing of gakpo but not gakpo

#

They paid too much for a backup imo

dim ledge
#

£37m is too much? Lmao

short flame
lofty lava
#

Or I’m wrong

hasty basin
#

He might be

#

The lowest paid player

#

In prem

hasty basin
dim ledge
#

So £37m plus add ons that either won't be met or will be far exceeded for an eventual starter

#

Seems pretty sound

short flame

Especially considering we won't have Diaz back until march at least

burnt cedar

Was he

#

A starter?

hasty basin

Zemura is a starter for us

And he gets paid

Was at Bournemouth too

👍

lofty lava

That's 3 months

Unless he performs over Diaz

The majority of the season

atomic locust

Gakpo is a good option I guess

short flame
lofty lava

He’s versatile up front

hi

dim ledge

That's really the big reason

burnt cedar
dim ledge

He can play in any position even if he's more adept at ones than others

hasty basin

how long were yall linked with gakpo before signing him?

burnt cedar

15 minutes

Nothing but whispers mala

Yeah lmao

hasty basin

Not Liverpool

dim ledge
#

Legit I heard after the end of the match that we were in advanced talks out of the blue

short flame
#

Oh my bad

dim ledge
#

I took a 1.5hr nap and woke up to the signing

hasty basin
#

in 15 mins

burnt cedar
#

Gakpo should play 10 behind nunez

hasty basin
#

We have a match vs

#

Chelsea

dim ledge
#

YES Ajay exactly dude

#

Second striker/AM

lofty lava
#

Man Utd favourites for Enzo apparently

short flame
#

Is lerma playing?

burnt cedar
#

Apart from ball striking Gakpo still has to develop in a lot of areas

hasty basin
#

Yea

#

Sad that ma boy Tavernier is

#

Still out

burnt cedar
#

Too much pressure if he’s in the front 3 straight away

dim ledge

Klopp type player

hasty basin
#

I am so looking forward to this

short flame
#

Nice I’ll eat breakfast and come

hasty basin
#

January

#

Transfer window

dim ledge
#

Imo though Ajay he starts at LW

hasty basin
#

We're defo

#

Signing someone

lofty lava
burnt cedar
#

Think Jota and Diaz are both better than him

#

He could play upfront but then what’s the point of nunez

dim ledge
#

Diaz is out till March unfortunately and Jota may be late January

#

So for now he's at LW

hasty basin
#

Did yall see that Betinho guy

#

For united

#

Lmao

lofty lava
#

Gakpo upfront is not it

versed forge
hasty basin
#

Nooooo

#

They fixed it

burnt cedar
#

For a guy of Gakpo’s size he’s obsessed with taking set pieces

hasty basin
burnt cedar
#

Mfs 6’2

#

You need to be in the box

dim ledge
#

After that though Ajay I agree he likely moves in to Nunezs position likely as a sub

#

Or we play 442 with him behind

burnt cedar
#

Yeah like how Holland do it

dim ledge
#

Precisely

#

He's perfect for a second striker

hasty basin
#

Can Gakpo play LW as well

#

?

lofty lava
#

Yeah

hasty basin
#

Gakpo Nunez Salah

dim ledge
#

Gakpo can play anywhere in the front 3

#

Surprisingly despite how good he was at ST for NED

#

He plays LW at PSV

hasty basin
#

Yeah

#

Should be better than Ox

#

On the left

dim ledge

Low ceiling TBF

hasty basin
#

Very

dim ledge
#

Ox is washed. Love his passion but

lofty lava
#

Any other midfield options you guys are looking for other than Jude and Enzo?

dim ledge
#

From all the mids we've been linked to I think we get 2/3 and that third that is left out is almost definitely Enzo

#

Yep

#

Amrabat

#

Who I think we get along w Jude

lofty lava
#

You guys have the funds for it?

#

Both Jude and Amrabat

hasty basin
#

Enzo yes

lofty lava
#

I saw tweets of Man Utd being ahead in the race of Enzo

dim ledge
#

As a Liverpool fan I have no idea but I think we're making moves that will end up in us being able to do it

lofty lava
#

Reliable source I’d say

#

Gaston

lofty lava
dim ledge
#

Need more than that in the prem

hasty basin
#

Thiago

dim ledge
#

Which is why Jude and Amrabat seems sensible for me

#

Thiago is funny man

lofty lava

Dude is a great passer and holder of the ball but tackles like prime Diego Costa

And is injury prone

I remember who you're talking about

But I've been the one that's remained always :')

I'd say it's mostly arsenal and barca here

lofty lava

Pulisic starting huh

#

Oh I’m a Barca fan

dim ledge

God I hate that player. Lmao

lofty lava
#

Any predictions for the game?

burnt cedar
#

Don’t Madrid want Jude

dim ledge
#

Madrid want everyone

#

As usual

burnt cedar
#

Over 100m for b2b midfielders are never worth it IMO

#

Could get a guy half the price to do the same job

dim ledge
#

How much was Camavinga for them?

lofty lava
#

Agree

burnt cedar
#

35m

lofty lava

That was a good price but yeah idk I know they have the capital I just don't think it makes sense

#

Can definitely happen

#

Would imply modric is on his way out

lofty lava
#

Modric looks like he’s about to play till he’s 50

dim ledge
#

Yeah he's like soulbound to RM

burnt cedar
dim ledge
#

Except when he leaves and the club/fans toss him aside like a wet towel

^modric

lofty lava
#

Would be typical Madrid stuff

smoky fable
#

That should not happen

lofty lava
#

I wouldn’t be suprised

dim ledge
#

It is indeed typical Madrid stuff

#

All respect to Modric if they did it to fucking Iker Casillas it can happen to anyone

smoky fable
#

I’m not sure Modric plays for another team if he gets the chance?

dim ledge
#

He may go back to Croatia

lofty lava
#

Doubt it

smoky fable
#

Ah that is an option

lofty lava
#

He’d retire at Madrid I reckon

#

Tchouameni was really good in the Wc

#

Madrid signed a gem

So was Konaté :)

lofty lava

Yeah

#

Kickoff

#

Hope Chelsea lose

Who did Barca have at the WC? Gavi and who else

De Jong

Both of em lmao

burnt cedar

Barca had the most players I think

dim ledge
sweet tree
#

none of them were good

#

maybe frenkie

dim ledge
#

Frenkie did very well imho

lofty lava
#

Dembele was decent until he dropped the disaster class in the final

sweet tree
#

pedri was better at the euros than the world cup

dim ledge

I feel that that's Dembeles MO, no offense

lofty lava
#

Gavi wasn’t good except the Costa Rica game

dim ledge

Hot streak and then just an absolute shitter of a match

lofty lava

Yep he’s just so inconsistent

Wasn’t the Spain squad mostly Barca kids ?

The only Spanish player I was impressed with was Nico Williams

Who does he think he is

Was like that in la Liga too

burnt cedar
#

Isak is injured

lofty lava
#

I know

short flame
dim ledge
#

I think Jude wants to come and we have the capital but resting on our laurels for so long has fucked us a bit this season and put us in a position of relative challenge. I think whether or not he comes is contingent on us making the UCL next season. So I think we may have a pre agreement in January, but are likely to sign another player in January (Amrabat) to help us improve the squad to make that happen. This of course is just speculation but I think the world cup showed that he has a STRONG desire to come here

hasty basin
#

Tbf

#

It would be bad

#

Div 2 with a manager

#

Of his class

Eddie Howe is brilliant yeah. I'm kinda shocked at how shit Potter has been for Chels

He’s the best English manager

Yknow what lets get that guy

I think Enzo is gonna go united too

In Brighton

I think the elephant in the room is Chelsea have a dilapidated, unbalanced, problematic squad

Idk how you can not get the hate lmfao

You gotta

#

Realize

#

English have to win something

#

With a team like that

short flame
#

They’ve reached a final

dim ledge
#

As croco said it's in the utilisation of the players

#

They win that final if Southgate isn't the manager

hasty basin

#

Previous managers had better squad and didn’t do shit

hasty basin
#

I mean

#

That's their problem

#

I'm talking

#

CUrrent

#

Squad

#

Right here

dim ledge
#

So he hasn't improved at all over old managers is what you're telling me

#

Am I missing something?

short flame
#

He’s out England back on the map

dim ledge
#

Lol no he hasn't

#

The players put England back on the map

short flame
#

Remember 2014

hasty basin
#

Yeah lmao

#

Just look at their team

dim ledge
#

Southgate didn't develop Saka, Trent, Rice, etc

short flame
#

That’s not a national team coach’s job

dim ledge
#

You wanna talk about good NT managers? There's one name that comes to mind for me

#

Didier fucking Deschamps

#

Is so brilliant

short flame
#

Of course Deschamps is brilliant

dim ledge
#

Because he utilises his talent

#

This isn't even a "he should play Trent" thing

short flame
#

But Southgate is up there

dim ledge
#

It's that he plays defensively when the game is 0-0

#

You have so much talent and you're sitting back

short flame
#

Just because he plays defensive doesn’t make you a bad manager

dim ledge
#

And no offense to England or their players

#

But defense isn't their strength

hasty basin
#

Keep in mind

#

There's Trippier and

dim ledge
#

If your strength lies in the midfield and forwards, you're playing defense...why?

hasty basin
#

Trent

#

Also

#

Imo Pope>Pickford as well

dim ledge
#

Pope>Pickford easily but idk

#

Pickford shows up for England

short flame
#

Secure your backline and then go forward

dim ledge
#

The second part doesn't happen

hasty basin
#

He was pretty decent

#

This WC yes

dim ledge
#

That's what we're trying to say lmao

short flame
#

He doesn’t take risks and it isn’t a bad thing

hasty basin
#

They have Maddison on the bench as well

#

Rate him highly

short flame
#

The players like him

hasty basin
#

Didn't play tho

#

P sure

dim ledge
#

He is taking a risk by not taking opportunities to play forward and those risks have culminated in an empty trophy cabinet

hasty basin
#

2-0

#

What a goal

short flame
#

There’s 32 teams in a World Cup full of stars. getting far and losing to France due to a failed penalty isn’t the manager’s fault

hasty basin

Yeah let's sort out the defence

#

This January

#

We're looking for

Are you implying that there is 0% chance that a different manager who can properly set up offensive plays and formations wouldn't have changed games?

not bad tbh

hasty basin
#

Well yea

#

With this team

#

I think we have the worst team in the prem

#

And it's not up for debate

#

One final in 4 tournaments with that talent isn't good

So I hope he'll do the same for us

short flame
# dim ledge Are you implying that there is 0% chance that a different manager who can proper...

I’m not saying he’s the best or that other managers couldn’t have won that game because that’s up to speculation. But he played his cards right and got far and only lost to a France team on a kane mistake. Not saying he’s the best manager or anything but people are acting like if England had such a good a team and Southgate made them bad which isn’t the case. And honestly if I want to play defensive which is a valid tactic and one I respect I’m definitely not playing Trent

dim ledge
#

It's got 0 to do with Trent I promise you

#

Trent aside he does not utilise his talent as it should be utilised

#

He played his cards right for....a loss?

#

It says something when the closest they've gotten to silverware have been losses ending in penalties. If his entire tactic is to take the game to pens and he still loses how is that good management

short flame
#

So you’re saying every one of the 31 other managers are crap as well? You win some you lose some, he did well

hasty basin
#

Welllll

dim ledge
#

31 other managers don't have England's talent pool

hasty basin
#

You can also have a not great team

#

Lmao

#

I'd say

#

Canada's defence is questionable

#

And their 0 point finish wasn't

short flame
hasty basin
#

The manager's fault

dim ledge
#

Like it or not Southgates contemporaries have to be the managers of the top teams ITW and he pales in comparison to almost all of them

short flame
#

The top teams like Enrique? Tite? Flick?

#

Whoever manages Belgium

dim ledge
#

You know that I think Belgium are shit lmfao

hasty basin
#

Belgium

#

Old team

dim ledge
#

So no not them

#

Tite and Southgate are actually a pretty solid comparison lmao

short flame
#

Is tite bad as well?

hasty basin
#

Cucurella is playing so well

#

Bruh

dim ledge
#

Whether or not he is you know what the difference is?

#

Only one of the two of them are employed still

#

Both are fairly congruent as far as relative achievements go

hasty basin

Wtf I didn't see this

Yeah that came out yesterday

Tite had already resigned pre tournament

hasty basin
