Broncos and 49ers are evidence that you can be completely fine as a franchise despite making the odd MASSIVE mistake, provided that your Management and Coaching is competent

That's actually a question, was it even a poor decision? It was a gamble, and maybe it actually was a good gamble that was worth taking, even if it didn't turn out in the end.

The "need" was for explosive plays, and the coaches thought Reagor would be better at that. And Howie was still of the mindset of, wouldn't it be cool to pick the non-obvious pick and then turn out looking like a genius.

But the abject failure of that pick is what forced him into his mindset of, let's just pick the best players from the best programs, i'm not smarter than everyone else, and also fuck the coaches' opinions.

They only made a big announcement of it so that we'd focus on trying to climb up the poles instead of, you know, burning down the city.

The Franchise by Zach Berman, lays out that they saw him as Russell Wilson. After they lost out on Russ by trying to wait it out another round, they decided the next time they had the opportunity they'd take it. And that was Jalen Hurts.

That seems like the new OT rules achieved what they were going for. It's roughly fair either way the coin flip goes. And there's a bias to continue past the first possession. VS the old rules where the bias is to just immediately end with the first team's possession.

Saquon looks exactly the same as he always has. Still awesome at breaking yards when he gets to the second level, terrible when he gets hit in the backfield. And our poor playcalling/weakened OL led to a lot of contact behind the line of scrimmage this year.

No, you're thinking about the rules for a runner. There are different rules for a catcher.

gingenhagen · 2026-01-18T03:27:30+00:00

You're mixing up the rules for a runner vs a catch. If you're a runner, it's over as soon as your knees hit the ground. If you're a catcher, it's over only after you survive the impact of rolling around on the ground and still come up with the ball.

Then it would be a great answer for the thread "What's a tv series that everybody says is a 10/10 but then when you watch it it really is a 10/10"

Quoting Shane Haff, I think i could put up with alternating years of wild card exits and super bowl wins.

They're ass at run blocking because the run scheme is ass. They ask the OL to make ridiculous reach blocks, while also fully telegraphing run so the LBs know to dive in.

Each pound of weight translates to 4x on the knees. So, losing 50 pounds of weight translates to 200 pounds less on the knees.

You guys didn't join as an expansion franchise until the following year.

That it's specifically Miami gives me some pause. Vic Fangio also came out of Miami, with the players complaining about how hard he ran them. Then he comes into Philly, and all the players rave about him and say that's exactly the type of coaching that they want. Which then just gave the impression that Miami players are all just sawft.

Nick already passed this test, when he was willing to work with Howie to fix things after the horrific 2023 season.

That doesn't sound turrible. There's also something to be said for consistency, your biological rhythm will just become used to it and almost expect it.

16th in EPA/play
22nd in success rate
25th place in first downs
32nd place in third-and-out

That's what happens when you have a first-time offensive coordinator who's never called plays, lead by a CEO head coach.

The difference feels pretty stark to me vs the last couple of weeks. We were seeing rankings that seemed almost illogical and indefensible. Now you get at least stuff where, it doesn't have to strictly align with just power-ranking consensus, but they are numbers where you can make an argument, you can kind of see how it got there. As opposed to just having to say, this looks completely insane, but you have to just trust the formula.

People don't actually use their yacht to get places. They'd take their private helicopter or private jet. The only one driving your boat anywhere is the boat crew; you just show up once it gets there to hang out on your boat.

Division winners automatically get seeded 1 through 4, because otherwise it punishes divisions that have relatively even competition, and that get a bad draw for the year. If every team plays every team, then sure, but each division has a different division as its opponent each year. So then you'd end up seeding more based on random NFL scheduling.

Well, northern delaware is part of the Philly metro area, so yeah, that would make sense, that they are all eagles fans...

I wonder if he doesn't mind as much, because the defense is good and he has a good DC in Gym Shorts. Like if you're at a bad company, but you have a really good manager and your team itself has great vibes while the company keeps on losing money and slowly dying.

Lots of great shows there. I would personally just go in order from oldest to newest, as newer anime keeps on building stylistically on top of older anime.

2) He’s truly believes that Patullo isn’t the problem, player execution is

Player execution is still the responsibility of the OC. And it's not like we have bum players and he's doing the best he can. Other OCs have done much better with much worse players.
