    This is now: BB and the direction of the Patriots

    Mac might be a better practice QB, but as bad as Zappe is, I thought he looked closer to an NFL quarterback yesterday than Mac has looked in weeks. And to be clear - I think Zappe's ceiling is emergency backup or practice squad guy.

    Game 1 Philly, Silver Linings

    I have no disagreement with this. On the earlier one I commented “you’re not in college anymore”. I didn’t feel that way on the later one, but I do “wonder” if that’s something pro-receivers get better at with more experience.

    Game 1 Philly, Silver Linings

    Boutte was about 2 inches from having a major impact. Let's hope he's working on the toe tap.

    Gilles Gilbert dead at 74

    Hadn't heard this. I can't say exactly why, but he was my favorite athlete of all time. I always loved hockey goalies and old time goalie masks. Gilles Gilbert inspired me to want to be a goalie. I was actually able to make that wish a reality in high school. I never played in a varsity game...

    CFB 2022 Week 13: RIVALRY WEEK

    I have been saying for quite some time that Ryan Day is a terrible coach. He can win 10 or 11 games every year on talent alone, but he's outcoached almost every week. He'll probably get another year (he just got extended for big money), but assuming he survives, a third loss in a row to...

    The Michael McCorkle "Mac" Jones Thread

    At this point I'd argue mediocre football might be a pretty good improvement. I don't post often and I'm certainly not an expert in Xs and Os, but to my untrained eye Mac has looked brutal. Doesn't step up, rarely "slides" in the pocket. Way too often he panics or gives up on the play because...

    2022 Bengals: Glendale or Bust?

    Super Bowl hangover. My gosh was last night tough to watch.

    Team Mac or Team Zappe?

    I'm not saying Zappe should be THE starter, but I do think he should be the starter on Monday night.

    Mikey won't fire him. That we know for certain.

    2022 Bengals: Glendale or Bust?

    On the whole I've been quite unimpressed with Zac Taylor. There were times last year when I literally thought he should be fired at halftime (Jacksonville game), but obviously getting hot and making it to the SB earns one a decent leash. This year he has a team that is uber-talented and again he...

    2022 Bengals: Glendale or Bust?

    I mean, I understand the thinking - even if we don't make it we've got them pinned at the 2, but I thought it was a really risky/bad decision at the time.

    2022 Bengals: Glendale or Bust?

    Not kicking the FG to tie it was pretty egregious and likely cost them the game.

    Thanks - I thought that might be the case. Makes sense.
