NFL - Random Opinions

Also i get great cordinator does not always translate yo good or great coach (see norv turner and wade phillips) but i sure as hell would have gone for Bienemy before turning to urban myer. I mean dwayne haskins over Joe Burrow.

 

Did Meyer say that was a good idea?
Just the OSU homer in him. He recruited him likely

 

LAY THE ODDS

If you had to play bookmaker and lay the odds that Tyrod Taylor is signed to be the bridge quarterback for the soon to be Matt Stafford-less Lions, where would you set them?

 

I’m going fairly low since I can’t think of an obvious connection.

27-1

 

Anthony Lynn is a big fan of Tyrod Taylors... so I wouldnt be surprised to see very favorable odds this could happen. Im not sure about how to lay odds, but i'll throw in my bet at 10/1

 

Oh was that the headline I slept through last night, Lynn is the OC there now?

I’ll up my odds to 15-1

 

It’s going to be an interesting offseason for QB’s. But the Lynn link is strong, and I believe Tyrod would fit with what the Lions want.
10: 1

 

Non-INT late 2nd quarter.
3-5 plays later that coverage with less than 10 seconds (and no Timeouts left) by Kevin King.

edit: the non-PI call on Murphy-Buntings INT shoulder tug to start that drive.

 

This really is phenomenal... in his 19 year career, Tom Brady has 10 Super Bowl appearances. Wrap your heads around that!

(no other QB has been to more than 5)

 

In another opinion, Matt Lafleur's decision to kick a FG is the worst Championship play-call I can remember ever seeing.

If you do the math it doesnt even make sense. If you trail by a TD and a 2-pt conversion, why would you even consider a deficit of 5 vs 8 points?... it still leaves you a TD behind. You have to go for it in that situation and that time of the game... Lafleur gave it away.

 

Thinking you need a fg to win at some point anyways.

 

At the beginning of the season, I thought the Bucs would, most likely get a wild card spot. Maybe even steal a first round game. But that'd be it. What do they do? Beat (imo) the two best teams in the NFC And go home. And in the Bucs case this year, going home is not a bad thing.

 

That and going for 2 earlier in the game were just brutal, head shaking decisions to me.

If you go for it on 4th down and you don't get it you at least have the Bucs backed up and all your timeouts. Force a punt and try again for a miracle drive.

Those are baffling decisions to me. If I'm a HC...I have a really hard time ever taking the ball out of Rodgers hands.

 

Every single nfl team gets screwed over in every single nfl game to some degree. This is old, no one was trying to give Tom Brady anything he just beat the Packers is all.

The stats are ridiculous.
Since turning 40 Brady will now have as many SB games under his belt as Brees, Marino and Rodgers combined. No other qb in nfl history has even started the SB at 40+.
Tom Brady is now in 4th place in history for playoff wins vs NFC teams. He’s been in the NFC for 1 year.
Tom Brady will now have more playoff games played than 21 franchises.

it’s time to take off the tin foil hats.

 

I was thinking the same thing regarding field position in that scenario. Even if they don’t get it they’ve got TB backed up.
If Rodgers had run that on 3rd down it would’ve made the decision easier

 

I think Brady needs to be inducted into the HOF right after the SB. I’m about as anti Brady as they come but he’s been to twice as many SBs as any other players ever. It’s not a question of whether he should be there or not just should we make the goat wait?

 

When he's done.....they are gonna just have a build a whole new wing in Canton for the man.

 

Crazy how every ref on the field had the flag ready here. Browns fans have every right to be pissed:

Clear double standard. #browns

 

CBS put out an article with their best Brady QB SB matchups and honestly it's all a pile of junk but one thing got to me but what they said about him and Foles really bugged me being a fan of the Eagles and all. I'm surely biased but I've seen that game a few times trying to make sure I wasn't just seeing things as harder for the Eagles because of the pressure I have for them to win. CBS wrote that Brady outplayed Foles in the Super Bowl. I just can't agree with that. Both played great but Foles made the tougher & better plays. The Eagles played worse on D too while Foles had to find it. And the INT was on Alshon Jeffery who dropped a would-be 1st & goal. Yards aren't everything, especially since most of them felt more free for Brady with the space in coverage. Also they said Brady had an INT, he didn't. He did have a fumble though that many thought ended the game until they had one more chance to tie it down 8.

 

CBS is wrong you are right. Brady has been outplayed in more than one superbowl (something that never happened to Joe). They got to caught up in the stats on brady vs foles but stats arent everything. Heck if stats were everything the steelers would be 3-0 vs the cowboys in super bowls.
