    Is this a playoff team?

    Yeah. No one is in category 1. Even for the best teams, a lot depends on how healthy their pitching is by October and if they have relievers who are playing well. Then there's a ton of luck on top of that. I think it would be more useful to pick their win total, which I think is solidly in the...

    Vrabel named HC of the NEP

    Will you spell his name right now? I preferred Johnson by a lot but hopefully Vrabel is open to new ideas and players buy in to what he's selling even when they are losing (as they probably will at first). The worst case was Vrabel deciding to go elsewhere for whatever reason and not having a...

    The HC Search

    This is basically what I meant. We don't have evidence that Vrabel can bring a terrible team to respectable because he hasn't done it. People are acting like his taking over a respectable team and them getting better is a similar situation to ours but he has never even been on a terrible team...

    The HC Search

    Yep, this is my take on vrabel's first HC stint. Some good stuff but the team was good when he took over and had a pretty clear path to success (run the ball, take play action shots, play good defense). When they fell behind, they didn't have much chance in games. They also had a really bad...

    The HC Search

    Sorry, we're all just guessing here but this sounds like "team chemistry" gobbledygook to me. You get a culture when you start winning games. We have lots of examples of boisterous coaches who sucked because the teams were bad and players tuned them out. Different styles of HC can have...

    Who would YOU hire as HC if you were Kraft

    I would love Johnson and I think there is a good chance we would be kicking ourselves if we do not hire him when we have the chance (unless he simply prefers another opening, which is also possible). Main reasons: He has done a great job with the offense in DET and players speak highly of him...

    I'm sorry, what is the locker room issue? There weren't a lot of guys dogging it this year by all reports, they just sucked and the coaching was poor.

    The HC Search

    If they end up with Vrabel or Johnson I'm basically fine and maybe they kind of have a wink wink with Vrabel. But what if Vrabel changes his mind and goes to LV and Johnson decides to stay in DET another couple years or goes somewhere else? Then you're scrambling. Also it would probably be nice...

    Paradise Found? The Milton thread.

    The money saved on a backup QB only matters if they can spend the other $100m or whatever space they have. I understand if Brissett wants to move on but I'd rather have another QB with that level of experience as the backup than a guy who has one decent game with only slightly more usefulness...

    Game 17: Pats guaranteed to beat Bills scrubs

    We don't know anything about Milton from this game against a team with nothing to play for and pretending the lower pick is better since they might screw it up is dumb. I'm so mad

    2024 SoSH NFL MVP

    Well, I disagree, but you presented both of their stat lines and I gave context. We don't have a lot of sample size with Lamar in the playoffs and his worst game other than his first two years has an asterisk. It's not like he told Harbaugh he was going to quit if they handed the ball off more...

    2024 SoSH NFL MVP

    Allen has been really good in the playoffs, particularly the last three. It's not his fault that 13 seconds happened for example. In no way was he a disappointment. Jackson hasn't been as good but 4 of those games were in his first three seasons when he wasn't as developed of a passer and in...

    2024 SoSH NFL MVP

    Two additions: -Allen has 5 fumbles with 4 lost, and Jackson has 10 fumbles with 5 lost. I think from watching his games that a few of Jackson's recovered fumbles were on poor snaps where he just picked it back up quickly, while most of Allen'sfumbles were when he was carrying the ball on a...

    Draft Pick Watch

    Yeah, I would prefer a different position all else equal, but I don't think there is a big problem with having two great CBs. They will be on the field every snap, so you're not really wasting them, and it allows you lot of options on defense. Most if not all good teams have more than one good...

    2024 NFL MVP Race

    Not really, we're discussing both, but I literally said I think it should be Jackson. Darnold is way down the list. He is 7th in ANY/PA and 13th in QBR largely because he takes a lot of sacks, has a few too many INTs and doesn't add much value running. Again great story, nice comeback, very good...

    2024 NFL MVP Race

    Lol it's not going to be Darnold. It will be Lamar or Allen. Vegas has Allen at -320 and Lamar +250, Saquon at +1600 (maybe if he gets the record he has a shot) and Burrow +3000. Darnold is next at +15000. I think it should be Jackson but I could see voters going with Allen because he's never...

    Draft Pick Watch

    I think it will happen sooner or later. MLB didn't have a lottery but then the Astros (and then the Orioles) happened. Though after what the Colts did to get Luck I don't know what it would take. Maybe the Arch Manning sweepstakes. I do think the short season and esoteric tiebreakers does...

    Are the Pats the worst team in the NFL?

    If you agree the drafts were bad I'm not sure why you are being so nitpicky with how that is illustrated.

    If they fall in love with a QB they can give us enough. Plus you might be able to trade down and then back up a few slots.
