    NFL Playoffs - Championship Round

    a) Kyle Shanahan has a ridiculous injury rate with his QBs that dates back to his time in Washington. b) On the two plays where his QBs got hurt, he had Hasson Reddick, an elite edge rusher, being blocked 1:1 by a TE with no assistance, on the road. I can't even begin to fathom how stupid that...

    The man. The football acumen. The enormous penis. It's hard to disaggregate this stuff.

    Super Bowl LVII - Chiefs vs Eagles in Glendale

    I think it has become a way, way, way bigger deal than it really is for all the wrong reasons. When you watch kids playing at the Senior Bowl or even at various camps, they grab the ball tossed to them and are as accurate or inaccurate as they normally are. It's kind of bananas.

    Super Bowl LVII - Chiefs vs Eagles in Glendale

    At the time it really didn't seem like a big deal to anyone.

    I'm still in on Renfrow!

    Dude, it's ten times worse than that. I was thinking of TJ Hockenson. Old man brain confusion is a terrible thing.

    my 02 cents on the pats

    I personally think Renfrow is a top tier TE, but reasonable people can disagree with that take. I also think that Henry, for whatever reason, didn't seem to give Jones the quick escape routes he needed (This may have been Patricia, but this is "play design 101."). TEs seem to be growing more...

    Super Bowl LVII - Chiefs vs Eagles in Glendale

    I am not proud to say that my children have hear me scream "HE'S PULLING HIM!!! HE'S PULLING!!!" at the tv a lot over the last decade. To be honest, I hope they start calling the "downward pressure" rule on fumbles. Everyone and their uncle would lose their shit.

    Please note, I am a huge j-man fan. If I am BB right now, I don't know that TE/slot is where I look for a cost controlled asset, there are other places (The OL in particular, but maybe WR1-2 in this draft?) where I think the value is better in this draft. Renfrow makes sense to me simply...

    Super Bowl LVII - Chiefs vs Eagles in Glendale

    The last point on DeflateGate. I have always thought that is beyond weird that teams bring their own balls at the NFL level. I get that it happens at every level (mainly because of the cost of footballs), but at the pro level you would think that they would bring 25 balls, put them on the...

    Yeah, this was hot bullshit.

    Having Ray Lewis as the D-Coordinator was a brilliant move. I don't think Ray Lewis has a "play casually" switch (and probably not a "don't murder" switch either, but I digress)

    Thanks, this is a great article.

    Super Bowl LVII - Chiefs vs Eagles in Glendale

    It's a pretty complex issue. So a bit of history. Guys pushing the runner forward was a part of football for most of the pre-Super Bowl era, and even in the 70s it was pretty common to see. In the 80s and 90s they put rules in that forbade it, but it was immensely complicated as a) When does...

    I enjoyed the flag games to be honest. I have started to come around to the concept that flag is probably going to be the only game available for kids under 10 in most areas, and that may not be a bad thing. I wish they allowed blocking, but anything that gets kids out there is to the good...

    There is nothing that can spin a fanbase around quite like a still photograph in a football play.

    Super Bowl LVII - Chiefs vs Eagles in Glendale

    Oh boy. OK, here we go. Deflategate begins with Spygate. Everyone and their uncle outside of New England saw Spygate as being a cover up by the league. To understand this, think of what BAD could possibly have come to the Patriots from the league destroying those videos - there is none. All...

    Super Bowl LVII - Chiefs vs Eagles in Glendale

    This article - put out by CBS Boston - basically says that Riveron implied this, which is nonsense. It was done to get clicks on a fanbase that eats up "The League hates us" narrative. It literally says that there is no question on the Ertz catch too. They even open the article by saying what...

    Super Bowl LVII - Chiefs vs Eagles in Glendale

    I will say this only one last time. This is the second weirdest of the many weird Patriot fan takes from this game ("The Philly Special was an illegal formation because I have never played football and seen a WR make a signal to a line judge" being the first). He had possession of the ball and...
