@smoky fable I remember you were saying Cowboys for Bill but they are keeping McCarthy

Jerry really wants to win on his own terms but never will lmao

[smoky fable]

Cowboys will never win during Jerry’s tenure

[fleet orbit]

To be fair I’m sure some of those pats division games cost money

[fleet orbit]

What’s the one constant in this cowboys drought ? That’s right

Jerry

It’s not always good if people know so much about your owner , the results usually don’t speak well

I mean we know who Kraft is , but that’s different : eventually you are gonna find out who the owner is if they keep winning

I don’t think the problem is Jerry doesn’t want to win the Super Bowl, I disagree with that

The issue is he will refuse to let anyone else take the credit for doing so, rendering Super Bowl secondary by extension

[robust grotto]

Lol no sympathy

[robust grotto]

Interesting

[rustic mountain]

More than that. Kraft is a bastard about ticket prices

I am never going to a Pats home game

If anything I'll watch em at Lumen

But not this year because we are playing the Seahawks at home and we won't go their til 2028

[celest zephyr]

just go to metlife rofl

you can watch the pats own the jets

fucking raptors

ofc they waive a guy who has respiratory issues who they just drafted

[rustic mountain]

That would require being in Jersey

And I don't wish for that ever

[slow violet]

honestly depends but not too bad

i think tickets for rams game are like 5k minimum

[sacred kite]

The Mayfield Browns beef is so crazy

[slow violet]

whats the beef?

[sacred kite]

Traded him for a convicted rapist

[dim kettle]

Beef. I see it more as more Cleveland Skidmark goodness

[sacred kite]

Phenomenal

[slow violet]

lol jimmy haslem is the Tua of owners what did we expect

[dim kettle]

That’s giving Jimmy too much credit

Waiting for the day he goes back to firing GMs and HCs a year after being hired

[slow violet]

i am amazed Stefanski cleaned house

[dim ledge]

@last crater heard u were a massive Nunez fan lad

[last crater]

yeah saw him play under Benfica against LFC

[dim ledge]

[weak gull]

That’s average, can’t be far from last weeks average tbh

[robust grotto]

yeah I’m sure it isn’t too far off. The demand is there so

https://vxtwitter.com/leafswave/status/1747702994575982716?s=46&t=0dPhD14zL5uzVVpeHRQMfQ lmaoo damn, mini Matthews crushing it at the world famous west Edmonton mall

[honest umbra]

U seen the lineup for today? @sweet tree

[sweet tree]

ye

[honest umbra]

I don’t mind it

a bit scared of Romeu in the middle doe

[sweet tree]

I dont think roque is fit to start yet

[honest umbra]

bro looks so scared on the ball lmao

[sweet tree]

true but I rather he play here than in la liga

also nice for guiu

getting a start again

[honest umbra]

I really like giving guiu a chance

bro has deserved it

bring on Lewa, gundo, Pedri if needed

Let’s be honest it’s gonna be a 1 goal victory or loss 💀

[sweet tree]

it'll probably be a scrappy win like the last game

[honest umbra]

think yamal would have started if he wasn’t suspended

torres been out of it

[sweet tree]

idk how we conceded 2 that day

[honest umbra]

one was a pen

don’t remember the other one but it was prob suicide high line

[sweet tree]

It was from a corner kick iirc

[honest umbra]

oh yea

tbf that corner kick was offside lol

and one of our goals were wrongly called offside lol

small teams not having VAR makes sense but still lol

[sweet tree]

true I remember that

there's no var in this

[honest umbra]

Felix scored a banger too smh

he’s deserved a start today

hopefully he scores

as much as I hate on raphinha sometimes, bro actually hustles and ends up on score sheets

[sweet tree]

he does the job usually, whether that's scoring or getting assists he's a reliable forward for the most part.

unlike ferran who has no end product

only time he is useful is off the bench

[honest umbra]

how unlucky is Brazil to produce two of the fakest Brazilians at RW during the same time

they both cannot beat their man

raphinha is useful in other ways though at least

[sweet tree]

yeah he's just not a dribbler really

[honest umbra]

going from dembele to raphinha is crazy

[sweet tree]

they both lacked what the other guy is missing

[honest umbra]

but like i said, raphinha actually scores and assists lol

yea if u combine them, you have the best winger in the world lol

[sweet tree]

dembele tho was a better passer / playmaker

[honest umbra]

basically Salah

[sweet tree]

just can't finish for shit

[honest umbra]

the thing is he SEEMED like a better passer/playmaker

but raphinha ends up with more assists

esp his crosses from bottom of box

[sweet tree]

that's reliant on the forward scoring

dembele generates a lot of better passes into the half space

[honest umbra]

dembele had Messi for a lot of years so idk lol

raphinha had a good lewa for one year lol

I remember a stat where raphinha goal/assist won us 13 pts alone last szn lol

esp since so many games we won were 1-0 lol

[sweet tree]

yeah he's a good crosser for the most part

[honest umbra]

if only bro could dribble past his dude

[sweet tree]

I think most of his assists are usually crosses

[honest umbra]

he does it once a game but it leads to a corner lol

[sweet tree]

too late for that now, I think that's just something you learn early on

don't think he could improve his dribbling

[honest umbra]

yea he’s in his mid 20s

bro ain’t improving

but he’s still pretty useful for us

him and gavi press like 100 percent of the time

[sweet tree]

yeah I do admire his defensive workrate

you can deffo notice the team missing gavi's presence, the dude was an insane presser & recovered a ton of balls

most of our midfielders aren't as good defensively

[slow violet]

https://vxtwitter.com/RapSheet/status/1747998878622699672?t=nJTHLxZ2rfTlvUPr6O_-uw

[torn gale]

We can only hope

[slow violet]

Bill Belichick, Russell Wilson Let Ride

[rustic mountain]

Bill with Russell???

[slow violet]

just a theory

[rustic mountain]

Shit you wanna see Bill lose his mind dontcha

[torn gale]

Aw hell naw

Russ can go ride along in Denver

[slow violet]

i refuse to believe he would prefer mac jones / bailey zappe to Russell

[rustic mountain]

If he joins the Falcons tho I low-key think he is gonna want to one up Brady

[slow violet]

thats what im saying

Belichick / Wilson with a running game , good receivers , weak division

[rustic mountain]

"look Tom I can go to an NFC south team and be successful like you did"

[torn gale]

Nah please I don’t want to watch wilson ngl

[slow violet]

lol why is that

[rustic mountain]

Wilson is the perfect Falcons qb

[torn gale]

I don’t like him

[slow violet]

Bro your team literally has Daniel Jones

[torn gale]

Indeed

[rustic mountain]

So are you also a Falcons fan

Do those exist anymore

[slow violet]

hes a giants fan

[rustic mountain]

I know

[torn gale]

I live near Atlanta so I root for them when I can

[rustic mountain]

Trust me I know

[slow violet]

im a seahawks fan

[torn gale]

And it’s not vs the giants

But it’s the giants first

[rustic mountain]

Ahh you do what I do with the Seahawks

[torn gale]

Yeah

[slow violet]

https://tenor.com/view/denzel-washington-training-day-smoke-gif-22279308

[rustic mountain]

Not my main team but the home team

So you got a big spot for em

[torn gale]

Ye

[slow violet]

lol you don't have to worry i don't see Russell going to Atlanta

he don't want his wife near Future 🤣

[rustic mountain]

You know who I see

[thorn hornet]

Barca down

[rustic mountain]

Kirk Cousins

[slow violet]

i don't see kirk cousins leaving the vikings

like why would he, hes gonna get a bag there

[rustic mountain]

Yeah, but it depends on Bill and the Falcons talent

Idk

It aint for sure but it'd make sense to me

[slow violet]

vikings offense is more tailor made for kirk

[rustic mountain]

I agree

But I am just saying

It isn't exactly implausible

And makes some sense

[sweet tree]

can't lie that's a crazy volley

[rustic mountain]

Especially with Bill. Dude hasn't had an athletic qb ever

[slow violet]

kirk cousins is coming off an ACL

[rustic mountain]

Yeah?

[slow violet]

and hes not that athletic

[rustic mountain]

Yes

Which is why

I say it makes sense for Bill

[slow violet]

oh i thought you meant this would be the first time he got an athletic qb

[rustic mountain]

Oh no lok

Lol

[torn gale]

Can’t forget about the cam newton patriots era in the

[slow violet]

cam newton was hella washed when he joined the patriots

his arm was gone

[torn gale]

Remember that time he went back to carolina and had one good return game

[slow violet]

he has one left in em

its like When bryce had one good game when he played against CJ stroud

🤣 nah jk i ain't gonna do bryce like that

[torn gale]

Poor young

I think he could still become a good qb in the future

[slow violet]

i think he has to leave the panthers and maybe go to the bucs or seahawks to succeed

to atleast see if hes that good

[smoky fable]

What is this Barca performance? @sweet tree

[sweet tree]

it's 1-1

[fleet orbit]

Cam was washed his shoulder was done for

[sweet tree]

not good but games not over tbh

ferass on the score sheet

kinda expected a scrappy game against these low division sides

[desert palm]

@proud coyote https://fxtwitter.com/talkinbaseball_/status/1748040974712910148?s=46

[smoky fable]

Damn the moment I said something they scored

Funny timing

[rustic ore]

https://vxtwitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1748054895872073915 @fleet orbit @smoky fable

[slow violet]

lol people forget way too easily

🤣

[fleet orbit]

Makes sense ! Personally I don’t think the bears have made a decision I think they are gonna take their time

[rustic mountain]

Giants might just be my second favorite team just for this move alone

[robust grotto]

Wow I had my arms open for you to join the met fandom and everything bro

[sweet tree]

KOUNDE HOLY SHSHSHSHS

that's a rocket

🚀

that's the balde that we should be seeing, lovely goal as well

[rustic mountain]

Gotta dunk on the Dodgers more

And maybe not be from New York

[hasty basin]

I was gonna watch but wtf is this 😭

[robust grotto]

Okay I’ll learn

[celest zephyr]

Not surprised really

It’d be amazing if he won with them

[sacred kite]

Wait what’s the MLB equivalent of the Cowboys

Gotta be one of the Cali teams right

[desert palm]

You mean like a team that is super popular, but always chokes?

[sweet tree]

Yankees probably

[sacred kite]

Yeah but also the reputation of being hated my most

Nah I respect the Yanks more than I do the cowboys

[desert palm]

Begrudgingly the Yankees 😞

He is right

I would say the Dodgers

Butttttttttttrr

[hasty basin]

Zerbin 2 goals in 2 mins

[desert palm]

They have won the Pennant numerous times

[hasty basin]

Alright man

[sacred kite]

I totally see how the Yankees fit that bill

[desert palm]

Something the yanks haven’t done since 09

And if you count 2020 🐭 ring

The Dodgers won the World Series fairly recently

[sweet tree]

wait where's this being played at

[desert palm]

@sacred kite to answer your question, and as much as I hate to admit it, the Yankees are the Cowboys of the MLB 😭

[hasty basin]

Super cup

[sacred kite]

Yeah I can see it

[sweet tree]

it's in Saudi

[burnt cedar]

Salah injured and Kudus goal

[hasty basin]

Oh you mean that

[sacred kite]

Phillies World Series sweep this year though ahahaaaa

[burnt cedar]

All in the space of a few minutes

[hasty basin]

Yeah in Saudi

[sweet tree]

so they get to host Spanish Supercopa and Italian Supercoppa

[hasty basin]

Yeah...

[sweet tree]

lol these leagues really sold themselves

i don't blame em

[burnt cedar]

Salah was fighting with the ref earlier

[hasty basin]

Wait

[burnt cedar]

Never seen a ref not back down

Thought they were gonna fight

[hasty basin]

Will Fifa give liverpool money?

[sweet tree]

for what

[burnt cedar]

I doubt it

[hasty basin]

If Salah is injured injured

[sweet tree]

oh wtf Salah injured

did it look bad?

[hasty basin]

Yeah

No idea

[burnt cedar]

Looked like his hamstring

[sweet tree]

hopefully it's not bad

[mental elk]

https://fxtwitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1748084760432242762

lmao

mf lasted 29 days

[sweet tree]

tbh 09 isn't even that long ago

[burnt cedar]

After he was basically abusing his player he deserves it

[sweet tree]

damn

cowboys haven't won since 1996

almost 30 years sheesh

[burnt cedar]

What kind of coach is this https://vxtwitter.com/the_forty_four/status/1746520337892704293?s=46&t=r7wAoOlnBiz9DTokWYJKTw

[hasty basin]

Lmao

[sweet tree]

buddy throwing his player under the bus

crazy

[smoky fable]

Salah hurt?

[sweet tree]

yeah, was subbed off for an injury. Dunno the extent of it

[smoky fable]

Uh oh

[thorn hornet]

Salah done his hammy

[thorn hornet]

He's insufferable

He thinks he's Ten Haag 😭

When are we actually going to sell/sign someone

[celest zephyr]

Never

[robust grotto]

@rustic mountain

[rustic mountain]

I am conflicted

[robust grotto]

I knew you would be

It’s not the huskies

[rustic mountain]

I know but it's

Still cool af

[robust grotto]

Yeah I think so too

A week or so back I saw SEC schools are slowly drawing crowds in hockey. Don’t be shocked if places like Florida end up being hockey schools soon

[short flame]

Is that the ducks?

[robust grotto]

No! College - university of Oregon

[rustic mountain]

a gator hockey jersey tho????

Sheeeeh would be sicm

Sick

[robust grotto]

Oh yeah dude I’ll show you

This one is current

[rustic mountain]

Actually fucking sick

I want those blue ones

I wish they sold college hockey jerseys Id be buying so many

[short flame]

It looks good apart from the teeth specially the socks

[robust grotto]

Yeah it is a little much

[robust grotto]

I’m not gonna like the Seahawks and Broncos color rush uniforms are ugly

[torn gale]

I like the Seahawks and broncos one

[rustic mountain]

The neon greens are absolutely atrocious

[sacred kite]

Muk

[torn gale]

I’m biased towards matching pants and shirts though

[sacred kite]

Muk c’mon now!!!!

[torn gale]

Neon green is a good color

[sacred kite]

It is but those brothers are highlighters

[rustic mountain]

I can't stand matching it's so plain to me or just an eyesore

I like contrast, I like compliments

[torn gale]

As a highlighter eater I enjoy looking at them

[short flame]

I don’t like matching pants and shirts. It looks like it’s a one piece costume

https://tenor.com/view/simeone-gol-grito-yes-fist-pump-gif-5359201

[fleet orbit]

and i dont think a single one is a long term starter

[celest zephyr]

Worst qb class i have seen

Absolute garbage

[celest zephyr]

All of them are decent bench guys

Pickett and corral are just meh. Willis, Howell and ridder can go off but lack any sort of consistency

[dim ledge]

In fairness to Howell

He showed several brilliances with an awful o line and mediocre recieving options

[sweet tree]

he had his moments

[thorn hornet]

I'm gonna reveal my fav Arsensl players

[sweet tree]

21 TDs and 21 Ints is kind of a funny statline, tho not all of the ints were on him

[thorn hornet]

The one I actually watched play, so I don't want to pick Henry, Vieira and etc

[sweet tree]

he was also the most sacked i believe in the regular season, which some of that was on him

[thorn hornet]

My fav player since I started watching Arsenal was and still is Alexis

[sweet tree]

for a backup I think he's alright

[sweet tree]

yeah I think I enjoyed alexis the most at Arsenal

RVP and Ozil were good too

[thorn hornet]

No disrespect to Ozil

But Sanchez was so good

Ozil was one of the best players itw when he's arsed

Ramsey is up there too

[sweet tree]

Auba & Laca duo was alright too for a bit

[smoky fable]

He should still be replaced

Maye, Williams are better

[smoky fable]

Yeah, you should be excited for Maye or Williams

[fleet orbit]

Some bears fan called people who aren’t about keeping fields braindead

I’m not gonna lie some bear fans suck

[stiff coyote]

Mesut Ozil was so under-rated

and to this day is still under-rated

[restive vector]

You’d have to be really dumb to go insulting fans outside their teams home stadium

Dude tree was like a kid on Christmas watching the cowboys lose

[celest zephyr]

It’s Christmas for all non cowboys fans

Especially cuz the Bucs aren’t even a hated fanbase

[fleet orbit]

Like I said Carolina might become Washington

[fleet orbit]

Don’t you think we’ve made fun of Dallas enough?

No? Me either !

https://youtu.be/BckCpTPLacc?si=Qwhl35iUtE6CVFY1

[rustic mountain]

I genuinely feel bad for Azua

But damn it is funny that the cowboys lost

[fleet orbit]

This is cap

[hasty mesa]

https://vxtwitter.com/nflrums/status/1748134207782568091?s=46

Right call? Maybe

The problem is if you dump Tua you are hoping you immediately get someone better or tell your team you’re entering a rebuild, in which case you kiss Tyreek goodbye

[fleet orbit]

The dolphins are in cap debt

[rustic mountain]

Don't tell DX

[fleet orbit]

Dolphins Lions and Commanders have suffered more than the cowboys bears and Vikings

[rustic mountain]

https://tenor.com/view/aw-shit-oh-fuck-monkey-looking-around-shifty-eyes-gif-17968288

[fleet orbit]

At least the bears have a Super Bowl appearance in my life , the Vikings make a couple playoff appearances and the cowboys still have a rich history

[rustic mountain]

You'll have to forgive me for not really caring about the plight of the dolphins

Also commanders if you wanna include all their history used to be a VERY good team

[fleet orbit]

It’s in reference to this

Yeah but how long ago was that ???

[rustic mountain]

Same as the Cowboys early 90s

To mid 90s

Last sb win I believe was 91

I think the Browns, Vikings, Jets, Bears are fine

Cowboys they are always near the title games just not in it

Lions Id probably put there

There was a couple seasons in Bearsland where Cutler at least got you to a title game

[fleet orbit]

At least the bears can hang their hat on an nfc championship in my life

Idk I would say bears top 10, and good lord has it been hard , but I wouldn’t say top 5

What about the cardinals ? Good lord

[rustic mountain]

Top 10 I ahree

Agree

Cards would be in the top 10 too

If I had to make a list of the top 10, hmmm. Lemme think

[fleet orbit]

My 5 would be:
Dolphins
Jets
Browns
Lions
Commanders

The commanders have had a toxic destructive ownership situation where every season is exhausting

[rustic mountain]

Dolphins are in the top 10 to me but not top 5

[fleet orbit]

Idk man, they haven’t won a playoff game since 2000 and no super bowls since the early 70s

I’m not saying you as a pats fan need to have sympathy , but that’s rough

Like I don’t feel bad for the Vikings

[rustic mountain]

I know I just think that part of it is they ran into a hard time with Brady for 20 something years

[fleet orbit]

And it continued it’s just now it’s Josh Allen

[rustic mountain]

There's a vacuum of time where Phins Jets and Bills kinda got the shaft

[fleet orbit]

Allen has only lost to the dolphins once

[rustic mountain]

Half because of their own incompetence tho

Ah so he is to the Dolphins what Brady was to the Bills

Man do I miss those days

But either way

I do think the Dolphins are suffering

Idk about top 5 but they are indeed

Id put Carolina just outside the top 10 tbh

[fleet orbit]

If it’s strictly the past 20 years alone I would put the dolphins right there with browns and lions

[rustic mountain]

If it's the past 20 years then sure I agree

[robust grotto]

Lol Lions winning 1 game shouldn’t remove them from the list imo

[fleet orbit]

I agree

[rustic mountain]

Lions should def be in there

[fleet orbit]

Carolina at least got to have Cam , and have some fun with that

[robust grotto]

Them and Minnesota for sure

[rustic mountain]

Past 20 years give me the Browns, Lions, Dolphins, Jets, and Raiders

[fleet orbit]

Vikings fans do have it real hard

Raiders have had it hard but Washington , I mean yikes

[rustic mountain]

Washington had fun with RG3

And a couple division titles

Sean Taylor

[fleet orbit]

The dolphins also couldn’t get Marino a Super Bowl

[fleet orbit]

Rest in peace

[rustic mountain]

Indeed

[robust grotto]

NFL really just has their obvious poverty franchises lol

[rustic mountain]

Tbf all sports leagues do

[robust grotto]

I guess every league yeah

[fleet orbit]

But the nfl has a more likely chance to finally get out of it than say the nba or mlb

[robust grotto]

I guess you can’t hide from it in football

[rustic mountain]

Nfl you can change it

[robust grotto]

Like you only play 17 games. so many people watch, check fantasy, etc

[fleet orbit]

as a bears fan, yeah we’ve had it hard . Top 5 tho? I don’t think so

[rustic mountain]

Nba you better hope a good player is on your team and he is friends with another 2 good players

Oh and be in California

[fleet orbit]

Cardinals are getting overlooked

Cardinals fans have it fuckin hard

[rustic mountain]

I feel bad for monster

But

He might get MHJ

Would be cool

[fleet orbit]

I still believe I will be alive when the bears hold a Lombardi again

I still have hope

We should draft a qb

[rustic mountain]

If I am if and when the Pats do it again cool

[fleet orbit]

Fields is mid

[rustic mountain]

If not

Well I got it 6 times

So I'll be fine

[fleet orbit]

For all we know the pats could suck the next few years and make a comeback

[rustic mountain]

For all we know Mayo could be god awful and we draft the wrong dude

Idk I am just along for the ride

[fleet orbit]

I’m sure those pats fans who suffered before they finally won the first thought it was all worth it

[rustic mountain]

Bill is gone, Mac for all intents and purposes is gone

I am happy

[rustic mountain]

Pats were a poverty franchise

For ever

[fleet orbit]

They were , so were the Bucs , and the saints

It’s possible to break out and get there

The cubs winning the World Series was unreal

If the fucking cubs can get their act together , there’s hope the bears can find a way

Baker Magic

[smoky fable]

It's up to your patriots on whether or not they get him

If the patriots get a vet qb, might as well get all the patriots edits on

https://vxtwitter.com/PeteThamel/status/1748171977016164502

@haughty moss

[rustic mountain]

I like this

New start

Ryo gets to keep him still tho

[rustic mountain]

Mayo already hinted we are looking at qb

[smoky fable]

I deeply hope so

[rustic mountain]

I can't see us passing on a qb

If the Bears go Williams

And Commanders go Mahe

Maye

I expect us to go Daniels

[fleet orbit]

I’m starting to think the bears will draft Williams or maye

[rustic mountain]

god I hope we go Daniels

Muk will hate it to the ends of the earth

[rustic mountain]

I can't see you guys going "hey let's do MHJ for Fields"

[fleet orbit]

Im not a Justin fields hater but im not paying him premium qb money for stats and performance this is kinda …. Eh

[rustic mountain]

I like Fields. Not a franchise qb tho

[fleet orbit]

I think a team can get to the playoffs with fields but I think one and done is what would happen

[rustic mountain]

He would need to take a huge leap next year and I just dont see it happening

And you got Caleb on the board. Caleb potentially changes the face of the Bears

[fleet orbit]

You need to have a qb who can hit the intermediate throws . You know , your slants , your crossing routes , your throws in the flats

Fields isn’t very good at any of that

Fields is compared to Lamar but all the type of throws i listed Lamar is very good at

[slow violet]

ok Falcons Fans this is a saving move

[rustic mountain]

Falcons might actually get Bill

Wonder who their OC would be

[slow violet]

here me out

Shane Waldron, with Russell Wilson

Lets Ride

[rustic mountain]

I just don't see Bill going with Russ

[fleet orbit]

Say Caleb or maye (can’t dismiss it ) isn’t what the bears need , it’s not like the bears spend 40 million a year

[rustic mountain]

Yeah exactly

I think Maye or Williams would be good for your team

[fleet orbit]

I don’t see Russell Wilson as a Belichick style QB. Kirk cousins might be a better veteran

if Caleb isn't what the bears need, ooof thats gonna be a rough one

[rustic mountain]

https://tenor.com/view/office-michael-scott-thank-you-gif-5278681

I said this earlier man

[slow violet]

the reason i say Russell because , cheaper / talent is more suited for a run first team

[rustic mountain]

But will they be run first with Bill

[slow violet]

they have been before

the patriots*

[rustic mountain]

Bill isn't really the offensive mind here

Or was

It was always someone else

[slow violet]

its not going to be purely run first, shane isn't a run first coach

[fleet orbit]

although to be fair I’m not sure what the Vikings are gonna do about Kirk

[rustic mountain]

During the Brady era we had one of the most prolific passing offenses ever

[fleet orbit]

They have gotten 1 playoff win out of that relationship

[slow violet]

Bills job is to make the defense dominant which they have a lot of pieces

[rustic mountain]

So it's hard to know

Idk. I think the Falcons with Bill would be one of the most interesting turn of events

[fleet orbit]

Wilson takes too many sacks , and I know Belichick valued o line and not letting drives stall out due to sacks for loss

[rustic mountain]

Wilson aint it

Imo

[fleet orbit]

But say the falcons actually traded for fields would bill coach that style of player

[rustic mountain]

I have zero clue

[fleet orbit]

Like I said , I think you can build a playoff team with fields on it but I don’t think fields can get you through the playoffs

[rustic mountain]

Tbh I still think Bill just wants to get that record and MAYBE

Try to get a ring to prove that Brady wasn't what defined him

[fleet orbit]

I don’t feel he needs to prove that

[rustic mountain]

He will

Bill is petty beyond belief

[fleet orbit]

Brady had a reliable defense because of bill and it made both their jobs easier on eachother

[rustic mountain]

Yes but Bill hears all the shit said about him

[fleet orbit]

They made eachother better

[rustic mountain]

He always does

It won't matter if a lot of people go "it took em both"

[fleet orbit]

I don’t think the issue is his coaching he’s no longer with NE because he stopped drafting well

[rustic mountain]

Bill will want to erase the doubt

Oh I agree

I just know Bill. He was my coach forever, Ive watched many behind the scenes things etc etc

Dude is the very meaning of football knowledge and memory but he also is petty

Very. Petty.

The pats coordinators mostly need to stay that

Josh mcdaniels should be shipped to Afghanistan in a box

[honest latch]

@hollow wind did you see the hire

[rustic mountain]

For what it's worth BoB was decent at Bama

[honest latch]

Like I told one of my buddies

If he’s able to maximize the offensive talent

[rustic mountain]

we can ignore what he did with us this year

[honest latch]

I’ll consider it a win

[fleet orbit]

Alright all these franchises need to be told 10000000 times

Do not hire pats coordinators as your coach

[rustic mountain]

Hey now hey now

Don't hire Belichick coordinators

It is a NEW DAY HERE

We even avoided that

Mayo technically wasn't a coordinator

[fleet orbit]

At worst mayo sucks and they try again , such is life in the nfl

[celest zephyr]

May have? Lol that has to be qb

[slow violet]

@rustic mountain was finishing up something but back to my point, i think it will work out.

i think bill only cares if the offense isn't a turnover machine

Fields has had 9 or more picks every year

[fleet orbit]

Fields number of picks isn’t always the problem it’s that he’ll throw them in the redzone

[slow violet]

fair

[fleet orbit]

I just feel bad because I wanted fields to be it but I think we’re moving on and we should

[slow violet]

Russell is top 5 in the league in redzone passing stats

and he was benched for 2 games

i think it makes too much sense. Fields makes sense talent wise but idk i really don't think him and bill will mesh

• you have to remember fields is up for a Big contract

how long is bill gonna coach? i tihnk one he gets shulas record he will retire. Russell will at most play for 2-3 years max

@fleet orbit grizzlies vs timerbwolves is turning out pretty good

[fleet orbit]

you mean to tell me the ja less grizzlies are putting up a fight

[slow violet]

Jackson playing well

[hollow wind]

[burnt cedar]

@robust grotto ESR to West Ham

Looks like a loan

Good deal for you guys

He’s better than Havertz

[robust grotto]

I’m not crazy that the two guys were linked to have recent injury issues, ESR and Phillips, but I very much understand going for those two players

[burnt cedar]

ESR injury issues are bizzare tbh

I don’t even think he’s hurt

We never get an update with what’s wrong with him

If he is fit you guys are gonna love him

[robust grotto]

Hmm, people have been saying the same with Phillips, the guy just isn’t getting picked. We also have an issue with lack of Englishmen so again, I get it

Or rather we will have a future issue

Cresswell, Ings, Johnson on the fringes / the way out. I’ll def take those two boys, it seems like shrewd business

[burnt cedar]

Yeah I don’t think Philips is injury prone he just had Rodri in front of him

England still play him

[robust grotto]

That makes me feel a lot better

[burnt cedar]

I don’t think he’s better than Alvarez tho

[robust grotto]

JWP and Soucek are like oil and water bro

[burnt cedar]

So might just be for depth

I’m guessing you’ll use esr as a winger but he’s comfortable in the middle

Like kudus and jwp

[robust grotto]

Imo yeah

I’d like to see Paq more center BUT Paq and Emerson have a phenomenal link up on that left side

In theory you could do Bowen high, and then play around with some combo of Paq, Kudus, ESR behind him

[short flame]

Not many people are. But Philips still is a decent player

[short flame]

So is there a chance or has Arsenal said no?

[thorn hornet]

Low chance

But I doubt it

[short flame]

But it says 0%

No means no

Bait or stupidity

[fleet orbit]

The assumption is that Brock is carried by their team because there’s no way someone picked that late in the draft can be successful

Not realizing he might be the difference between coming close to the Super Bowl and winning it

Jimmy G was holding the Niners back , and Trey must not have been that great if he’s riding the pine in Dallas

If he doesn’t turn the ball over , maybe this is the year

The commissioner of my fantasy league wishes the bears had Watson. He says if the bears trade fields he’ll never be a fan again

Can they just trade fields so this idiot doesn’t talk anymore ?

This same guy also said Tyrod Taylor was given a bad deal and is a good qb

Our commissioner has a fucking potato for a brain

[sacred kite]

I wish a prison cell had Watson

[torn gale]

Stockholm syndrome

For bad qb play

Giants fans would know

[fleet orbit]

Me too

Now firstly , this whole “ always believe women” issue isn’t the issue . Sometimes people lie

But how likely is it 20+ woman conspired to form a witch hunt against one man?

[fleet orbit]

See giants and bears fans have had similar issues but damn I wish we had an Eli . Sure sometimes he played poorly and did stupid things , but he was dependable and for 2 playoff runs he was on a heater

What makes me sad is that the bears current offseason situation is so exciting , but I just want to get it over with because you can imagine bears fans are a divided house over this

[sacred kite]

https://tenor.com/view/pen-in-flames-umineko-writing-in-flames-flames-gif-20892510

Honestly I would often rather talk to fans of other teams about the bears situation than bears fans

My very close friend tho whose a football coach has a good approach to the discussion, he thinks of scheme

[sacred kite]

Yeah true, it’s a good thing when there’s so much talent on the team

[celest zephyr]

Hey why not get them to coach da bears

[fleet orbit]

He’d run a good scheme

Im in a discord with friends and me him and his brother are the only ones who watch football and no one else

The bears are more likely to get their act together than the bulls

Stupid NFC South

[slow violet]

what do they want Justin Fields

[dim kettle]

They want BEARS FOOTBALL!!

[fleet orbit]

It’s a split . Some people think the capital is worth too much to draft a Caleb or a Drake maye, some think fields will never get us there

Personally I’m starting to lean trade fields and keep the pick but I think both sides have a compelling argument

[dim kettle]

Fields has no arguments.

[fleet orbit]

So you’re in the trade fields draft a Qb camp?

[dim kettle]

Justin FIelds is just a more explosive version of Daniel Jones. Tell me where I'm wrong.

[fleet orbit]

Fuck

I can’t

[dim kettle]

I know this sounds mean. But, this is how I see it. There's people who are right and there's people who are wrong.

[glass compass]

You're wrong

[dim kettle]

No U.

[glass compass]

Pay Justin 40 mil a year

[slow violet]

LOL what do you mean capital, its literally 1 Pick

[fleet orbit]

He’s not

[dim kettle]

[fleet orbit]

They’re saying you would get even more picks and a massive haul for it

[glass compass]

Justin is actually prime Mike Vick

[torn gale]

[glass compass]

You guys just don't see the vision

[torn gale]

The vision:

https://tenor.com/view/fujitora-haki-gif-24744475

[fleet orbit]

I’m gonna get shit for this but Vick might be the most overrated QB of all time

[slow violet]

they have 2 first round picks. Man if eberfluse gotta take an entire haul again just to make the playoffs. Then there is something wrong

[dim kettle]

Elite vision, baybee

[fleet orbit]

The dude was all style no substance

[slow violet]

maybe CJ stroud is making them rethink because hes also an ohio state qb

[dim kettle]

Fields would die for any kind of Observation Haki.

[glass compass]

You guys don't have the vision he does to see that there is clearly a 12th invisible defender in that zone, ready to pick him off. Dang football casuals...

[torn gale]

Sam “I’m seeing ghost” Darnold

[fleet orbit]

Fields will sustain a great drive and than throw a back breaker in the red zone

[slow violet]

Justin Fields literally the only person on this planet without two kinds of Haki

😭

[fleet orbit]

Mhj is a special talent but the problem is if you draft a superstar reciever and you can’t build a really good team , you get the Vikings

[dim kettle]

It's a similar argument I made about Daniel Jones. He makes a lot of great throws, but he also makes a bunch of shitty ones too. That's the point. A lot of QBs in the NFL can make great throws. But there's also a lot who can make great throws that can't play for shit. Same for Fields.

[fleet orbit]

The problem is the bears get overly attached to QBs

[dim kettle]

Grossman, Cutler, Mitch, Fields. And then the fans get too attached and begin living in a bubble. Bear fans on social media make my head hurt.

[fleet orbit]

The same guy whose calling anti jf1 people brain dead also said the bears have proven a strong defense and run game can win it , it’s in their culture

[dim kettle]

BEARS FOOTBALL

[slow violet]

more AI Writers incoming 🤣

[fleet orbit]

But a Super Bowl in 1985 with one of the best defenses of all time with Walter Payton is not indicative of where the franchise heads almost 40 years later

The bears culture and identity needs a overhaul

[slow violet]

its ok we might be the same. A superbowl in 2013 with the best defense of all time and Marshawn Lynch

[fleet orbit]

That’s why I’m saying draft a young QB , doesn’t have to be Caleb

[dim kettle]

Even BEARS FOOTBALL!! thinking was flawed back then.
Nothing like wasting the career of Dick Butkus.

[fleet orbit]

But Seattle has consistently stayed at least competitive , the bears have one winning season since Lovie got fired

[slow violet]

are the owners poor?

[fleet orbit]

The bears owners ?

[slow violet]

ya

[dim kettle]

Oh the Bears sure act poor when going through the coaching process.

[slow violet]

i just find it hard to believe that a storied franchise like the bears can suck ass for so long

unless the Owners are a bunch of a poors

[dim kettle]

The Lions are also a storied franchise and have sucked for most of people's lives until recently.

[slow violet]

thats true but i don't think its at the same level

[fleet orbit]

The bears pipeline bought the team for 100 bucks in 1923 , one of the rare cases of a ownership whose wealth is predominantly tied for owning a team

[fleet orbit]

When you really see the mentality of the franchise , it doesn’t look as surprising

[slow violet]

so its basically the same as the raiders

they are owner poor

[dim kettle]

Even if it's not the Lions. The Cards are also as old as the Bears and only in the 2010s was their best stretch in franchise history

[slow violet]

i think if you look at coaching salaries right now i honestly think thats the only reason eberfluse made it @fleet orbit

i actually think they can't afford harbaugh , bill etc

[fleet orbit]

I don’t get how , there are very few franchises that are worth as much money as the bears

[dim kettle]

The Bears can afford coaches. They just choose to act poor.

It's the Chicago sports way

[fleet orbit]

Bears tickets are like 200 dollars plus when the bears haven’t been very good at all

Why is it not more scrutinized ? Because what city are the bears from?

[dim kettle]

3rd largest market in the country and almost every team in that area plays the small market game.

[fleet orbit]

Chicago. And Chicago kicks ass , I love@chicago . But the fact that they are Chicago’s team means they are called a team with large history and tradition

[robust grotto]

I know they’ve been dead for 10+ years

[dim kettle]

Imagine if the Bears actually wanted to play Green Bay Packer Football for once. Suddenly, "Hey, we can be winners in today's game"

[robust grotto]

Still a little sad to see SI decimated. They actually got caught using fake authors a year or two back

[fleet orbit]

If the bears did the packer thing right , i would be happy

I think the best tradition comes from winning

I used to wish the bears could be more like some of those 2000s Steelers teams

[slow violet]

its time for the great insights of John Doe , and Becky Charmichle our GPT extraordinare

[dim kettle]

Just amazing how Bears fans hold onto BEARS FOOTBALL!! like it means anything. I sure never encouraged the Bucs to play Buccaneer Football. Because I knew for most of my fandom that Bucs Football represented sucking and mediocre football

[robust grotto]

Check out this crazy article by Firstname Lastname

[fleet orbit]

I don’t want to have to feel reserved and like sometimes I’d rather watch red zone than bears games

I want the team to stomp on people and win

[fleet orbit]

No their best game was the beat down in Chicago

If the bears play in a dome and they start winning , im@cool with that

Look, I still think there is a place for defense. I am a defense guy , it’s in my bears fan blood, but I want an offense that cooks other teams

The product on the field and in the eye test is an eyesore

[dim kettle]

Solider Field was always bad. So bad in fact, that over 20 years ago. A spaceship took a dump all over it.

[fleet orbit]

The worst part is the capacity

How does a Chicago stadium have the lowest capacity

It’s Chicago

[celest zephyr]

What’s next they’ll play in a college stadium?

Imo a team has to do both

[fleet orbit]

Go play at my old college , NIU, dekalb bears

[celest zephyr]

If they suck on defense, they will lose. However, great offense is what wins more rings

In the modern nfl

I’d rather have a top offense and a good defense than the other way around

[fleet orbit]

I’m not worried about the defense this offseason . The bears are building a solid defense

[fleet orbit]

Bears fans are not comfortable with this but I am accepting of a change like that . A lot of fans know how it is : it’s depressing to not win

[dim kettle]

Defense wins championships propaganda in today's NFL, man. You'll have people tell me how much the Bucs defense won the SB against the Chiefs. While conveniently leaving out that the Bucs offense scored 31 points. The defense was a great thing, yeah. But it didn't singlehandedly won them the SB

[fleet orbit]

I haven’t seen a team Carry a carcass of a qb to the finish line since the broncos

And that barely counts because mannings leadership still was influential to the team

Defense is cheaper

[dim kettle]

Even the Broncos SB. The defense carried a lot, I also think the Panthers choked a little. But 24 points were also scored by the Broncos.

[fleet orbit]

The bears should try and build like the ravens and Steelers during the late 2000s / early 2010s

[dim kettle]

The Seahawks win against the Broncos. I consider that more the Peyton Choke Bowl then saying the defense won the day.

[fleet orbit]

Idk the legion of boom was insane

[rustic mountain]

It doesn't fit the narrative

So easier to say offense choke than give credit to the defense

[dim kettle]

The Broncos also had the highest-scoring offense that year. And here you have noodle arm Manning making terrible reads, etc

[fleet orbit]

Still convinced that if the bears had even an average qb against the colts they win the Super Bowl

But alas , I can’t invent a Time Machine

[rustic mountain]

And I am convinced we would have 7 rings if Caldwell wouldnt have dropped passes in the 06 title game and we got to play Bad Rex

[fleet orbit]

That’s what’s hard . Even teams like the patriots have missed opportunities

[dim kettle]

There's things to talk about the defense. The Broncos OL could block for shit that game. But Peyton was always talked about how great of a field general he was. But the moment his team did shit, it was everyone else fault but his.

Literally starts with the ball going over his head. Instead of trying to establish a rhythm early on, here you have Peyton doing all this crap at the line when the crowd is roaring and it causes a mistkae

[fleet orbit]

I think also that defense schematically was prepared too. Peyton was known for reading the defense pre snap but Seattles defensive coaching that game was really good

The bears have never had a top 10 qb in the nfl

[dim kettle]

That would make a lot of sense, if Peyton didn't make this such a trend in his legacy.

[fleet orbit]

Tom Brady is literally so good that it honestly raised the standards of greatness astronomically , because even though NE has some missed opportunities, it was way less than other teams

Even the Steelers who at one point were elite alot have more

As for manning I think his biggest missed opportunity was honestly the saints game

[dim kettle]

And it's weird considering Brady really didn't have a lot of elite tools in his game. He was picked late for a reason. But he had the ability to win games when it mattered most.

[fleet orbit]

He just had the brain and scanned the playbook like a robot

[dim kettle]

And yeah. That Saints game. Peyton staring down his receiver right into the hands of Porter.

[fleet orbit]

The one thing I don’t necessarily get is the whole teams fucked up since Brady was drafted so late

Hindsight is 20/20. He was physically not that fit or imposing , he ran a o lineman 40, and he was at one point at the bottom of the depth chart

You never truly know

[fleet orbit]

Peyton had some backbreaking picks . Saints ironically won due to Favre throwing one a week prior

[dim kettle]

I always hear this hindsight crap. Like. that's any business. Your job is to be "able" to make as many good to great decisions as you can, so you can look back in hindsight.

[fleet orbit]

I guess I just didn’t see what the patriots could’ve seen that made them@assume Brady would become Brady

I think Brady was the only person who believed it

[dim kettle]

That was a simple happenstance. Because Bledsoe got that extension not too long before that injury. Sometimes you need luck.

[fleet orbit]

Fucking packers luck with QBs is turned up to 11

God dammit

[dim kettle]

Niners looking to also be that team too.

[fleet orbit]

Brock is very good

[dim kettle]

The Packers picked Love with purpose. I liked a lot about his game in college.

Then you have BEARS FOOTBALL!! trading up to pick Mitch and me going, "Wut?"

[slow violet]

Mitch was a hall of famer in a different timeline

[dim kettle]

In a different timeline, the Niners have Mahomes and have at least 2 SBs rn.

[slow violet]

in a different time line, we ran it at the 1 yard line

[dim kettle]

And fumbled.

[fleet orbit]

The Niners timeline is so weird . They’ve had so many great playoff runs , and beat the guy who they didn’t draft multiple times@but what if they had him

Mitch didn’t have the footwork , he was jittery and anxious in the pocket

[slow violet]

i like the current timeline of the niners

waiting for my yearly choke to unwrap

[dim kettle]

The only legit argument left for Purdy is he hasn't shown me yet that he can lead his team to a win late in an important game.

[fleet orbit]

What if it doesn’t come ?

And now the same bears fan had a Niners take : if fields was their QB, he’s mvp

What a dick rider

[dim kettle]

Yeah. Nothing like a potental Jimmy G with legs.

I'm shaking in my boots

[fleet orbit]

Jimmy G was so bad with the raiders oh my lord

This is the healthiest I’ve seen the Niners in the playoffs

[dim kettle]

Jimmy Garbage Pail has always been an overrated QB that Niners fans for awhile would defend and tell me how much the Niners win with him when his competition was Nick Mullins and CJ fucking Beathard

[fleet orbit]

He was the reason they lost to the rams

[dim kettle]

Like, the moment he sucks in Vegas, Woah. What a shocker

Jimmy G wasn't the guy the moment he missed Sanders late in the SB.

[fleet orbit]

Kaepernick was good for a few years but he got predicable and defenses zoned in

I can’t say the Niners win the Super Bowl for sure but I think they win this weekend

[dim kettle]

It's funny how narratives work sometimes. If a team is crap years after missing a QB, they're mocked for a long, long time. But when the team makes the same mistake and wins, suddenly, it's all about hindsight and context. Like, fuck off.

[fleet orbit]

The Niners have had some misses in the draft for sure

The Niners actually whiffed the same@draft the bears whiffed on Mitch and with Trey lance

In hindsight they should’ve drafted Rodgers too

[dim kettle]

Missing Mahomes and trading for Jimmy G near the deadline in 2017. Boy how did that work out for them.

Like, that's something that's never gonna get brought up enough. The Niners picked Jimmy G over Mahomes.

[fleet orbit]

Well it’s not brought up because the bears took the brunt of the criticism

[dim kettle]

But since the Niners are winners, it's only more convenient to bring up the Bears mistake.

When in reality, the Niners should be hurting more from that miss then the Bears.

They got Purdy. But there's no certainty he wins a SB. He might make it this year, doesn't mean he'll win it.

[fleet orbit]

This Niners team will not be there forever , so they better get one while he’s on a rookie contract

[dim kettle]

And man, John Lynch. Bucs legend. And has brought in so much talent. But that's the funny thing that he has done so much and also has produced a lot of shit.

[fleet orbit]

The Niners have the fortune of being a team with a chance to redeem themselves

A lot of teams fucks up have set them back ages besides the 49ers

[dim kettle]

Sometimes you need luck.

Just like a lot of shit teams have a lot of bad luck. The Jets

I don’t think bad luck is all the jets predicament is

The jets of the Rex Ryan era had 2 really good teams . Great defense run game and o line, but the passing offense tanked those teams and they didn’t fix it

[dim kettle]

Yeah. But when you make the right decision once in awhile and BAM an injury. BAM! that decision backfires. Yeah, that's bad luck

[fleet orbit]

The moral to the story is have a viable backup QB and that you get what you put into o line

The jets have awful coaching across the board

[sacred kite]

Oh interesting looks like Brian Johnson is being interviewed by the Titans too

Rooney Rule or genuine interest?

[dim kettle]

The Jets win 10 games in 2015. Most years that gets you in the playoffs. Not 2015. And then they choke the last game.

[fleet orbit]

The jets needed one win in Rex’s 3rd season, lost

The dolphins have experienced similar nightmares

[dim kettle]

Probably the former.

[fleet orbit]

You know whose snake bitten besides the chargers ?

The Vikings

Yes I know they had the Minneapolis miracle but that’s one instance . Otherwise something horrible happens to them often

[dim kettle]

Yeah... the Vikings. Look. they miss a lot of FGs, etc. But the Vikings haven't had an elite QB of their own for long since Fran Tarkenton in the 70s. And one year with Favre.

[fleet orbit]

That Favre year was the biggest opportunity that team could’ve won the Super Bowl

[dim kettle]

That 09 team was fun af

And then Peterson fumbles, because he was known for that. And Favre decided to force a pass, because Favre.

[fleet orbit]

The Vikings also are kind of poorly built in the trenches on both sides of the ball

The funniest Vikings loss in the playoffs was Blair Walsh

[dim kettle]

Like 98 was tragic. But were you really trusting an aging Randall Cunningham to be clutch when it mattered most?

Eh.

Blame the kicker, but they could've scored a TD there

[fleet orbit]

It’s the same as the bears loss to the eagles , it wouldn’t of come down to it if the offense wasn’t so bleh

[dim kettle]

Same with that classic Blair Walsh kick. It was so funny and pathetic. But Peterson did his annual choking and you had Mid Teddy as QB throwing the football in cold ass Minnesota.

[fleet orbit]

Kirk is definitely the best qb they’ve had in my life but I don’t think he can take them to the next level

I think the only Vikings team the past 20 years where I genuinely thought they could win it all was 2009

[dim kettle]

Kirk is the perfect QB for the Vikings. It represents all this hollow hope and talent that freeze in January like a car battery outdoors in January Minnesota weather.

[fleet orbit]

This recent season when the Vikings looked dead I saw for the first time a cousins who might elevate them , and than it’s gone

Kirk keeps them competitive but he only keeps them slightly above water , the Vikings are poorly constructed

[dim kettle]

You have to understand. Kirk doesn't elevate rather he plays up to the talent around him.

It was like this with Matt Ryan.

The moment you took away the high end talent, they often struggle.

[fleet orbit]

Besides the mvp season I agree

[dim kettle]

Man, he had Kyle as his OC and high end talent all around him in 2016.

[fleet orbit]

That’s a good point

Cousins can keep a team competitive but not elevate them

The Vikings are just mediocre

They don’t have a Super Bowl core

[dim kettle]

Case Keenum brought the Vikings to a NFC title game. Kirk missed the playoffs his first year in Minnesota the next year.

[fleet orbit]

And got swept by the bears , hell yeah

The Vikings are cursed

[dim kettle]

The Vikings are a second rate organization. They don't make enough bad decisions, but they also don't make enough good decisions,

Like, extending Cousins was a mistake and I said it was a mistake when it happened.

Because, he were are in 2024 and the Vikings only have one playoff win with him as QB.

And that's also mainly because the Saints wanted to be the bigger chokers that year.

@celest zephyr

Offfffff course

The best Closer goes to the New Evil Empire

[dim kettle]

"New"

[rustic mountain]

He didn't sign with the Dodgers, so I don't give a shit

[dim kettle]

I know you can't wait for the Dodgers season.

[rustic mountain]

I don't like the Astros, but I hate the Yankees and Dodgers way mode

More

So this was only the 3rd worst outcome

[dim kettle]

Soon the Dodgers will sign the Yonko and destroy the baseball world.

[desert palm]

They arguably already have the Yonko

Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts, Shohei Ohtani, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto

Who knows, they might even have the “GoKo” if the rumors are true regarding Roki Sasaki getting posted next season

[smoky fable]

[hasty mesa]

Just saw that

Correct decision

At least for 2024

[dim kettle]

The Raiders making understandable, right decisions?

[hasty mesa]

As nice as that is are they planning to run it back with AOC

Cuz

[dim kettle]

Probably not

I think they might trade up.

At least attempt to.

[fleet orbit]

Good work raiders

So the raiders can solve the biggest plague on their franchise :
Culture issues

[slow violet]

i feel like they solved their culture issues last time with Jon gruden last time

but.... emails got in the way

🤣

[fleet orbit]

Jon Gruden is a parasite

[dim kettle]

On a side note. The snow devil came near me today

[fleet orbit]

Gruden coached one stacked team he didn’t build , doesn’t deserve the respect he gets

[slow violet]

true

man if the raiders also become good

and the chargers don't land harbaugh

shit bro thats it for that franchise

[fleet orbit]

I’m still surprised the chargers aren’t hot on Belichick

[short flame]

It’s snowing in Florida?

[dim kettle]

I've been in New Jersey for almost a year now

[robust grotto]

We got no snow up here, funny enough

One of those rare times where south gets snow but north doesn’t

[dim kettle]

It still coming down too.

[robust grotto]

Yeah they said it would be all day

Like 6-8 inches or something right

[dim kettle]

It's getting there.

[fleet orbit]

The worst of it has passed here but it’ll probably come back

[dim kettle]

Some parts where I was walking it's coming up to my ankles.

[robust grotto]

Nice, enjoy it man. Always fun to look at lol

[dim kettle]

Not fun to drive through.

[robust grotto]

I oddly enjoy cleaning off snow from the car. It’s weird therapy

[rustic ore]

And the Saints are allegedly interested in adding him to their staff since he and Carr are boys

Could honestly see him become their OC now with Carmichael gone

[fleet orbit]

You serious ???

[rustic ore]

That’s what I read a couple days ago

[fleet orbit]

That would be stupid

[rustic ore]

It would. So I hope it happens

[fleet orbit]

If he’s seen as successful coaches will open the trucks up to pay him to be head coach

Idk what the raiders have in AOC

[rustic ore]

I didn’t see anything special from him so personally I would draft a QB if I was them

[fleet orbit]

The raiders cupboard isn’t bare

There’s some good talent on that team

[slow violet]

i think the raiders is a good team for fields, thoughts?

great running game, good posession receivers. they just need more speed and he brings it

don't have to carry the franchise, because their defense is elite

and if he plays well, could def see a contract long term with AP there

i guess because the paychecks are nice, but lol idk man i would feel some kind of way as a competitor knowing that the only reason i have a job is because of my brother 😭

[proud coyote]

There’s no good team for him IMO, but the raiders have a better o-line than the bears at least
