  1. I said "in season", big difference. There are not skilled unemployed interior offensive lineman just waiting to get signed out there who are gonna change our current fortunes in one week of practice and one game before the playoffs.
  2. I was a lot less worried about ASU than Clemson when our draw came out. Clemson is a very talented team that underperformed for most of this year but hit their stride late. ASU is a talented team that lost to Tech and Cincy and had about three other so-so teams take them down to the wire including Texas State. They have glaring weaknesses, and their offense is in big trouble. Time to play an elite team for the first time this year, bitches.
  3. OL can't be fixed in season. We are what we are until the next draft & offseason. We're not as bad as we looked yesterday. Hopefully we draw a weak squad in Round 1 and tack another playoff W on, but after that, it's draft two OLs, a WR, and have a real strong FA period. Im torn on Slowik. Our fan base spent all offseason worrying he'd leave and now wants him gone. I think the OL may be the actual issue, solving that may provide him means for a successful reboot. Either way, let's beat Tennessee and end on a high note.
  4. Texans/Chiefs at Noon & Texas/Clemson at 3p. Epic Saturday.
  5. I'm going to write a book about you called "The Crimson Letter" where you get branded with a crimson O for being a whore who sucks and has a whore mouth!
  6. I was afraid Maalik would go to OU. Instead they got some guy who just lost 15-14 to Wyoming at a P5 school. Go to Oregon State or wherever you like and get PAID, Murph!
  7. Strange how all the noise about Azeez went away so quickly, no?
  8. That's a shitpost account, just FYI. Wouldn't mind seeing it but I doubt it's true. Also, that account has an insane amount of followers for someone who just makes shit up.
  9. Broncos score. 31-13 with 5 minutes left. Its over. The Houston Texans are YOUR 2024 AFC South Champions!
  10. Broncos just picked off Indy in Indy territory
  11. Broncos just picked Indy off at midfied
  12. Broncos just pick sixed Indy on a really dumb double-lateral QB-screen attempt of some sort
  13. Broncos have taken the lead 17-13 with 13:51 left in the 4th.
  14. Very impressed by Navy, punched them in the mouth from the get-go and never let up. Army is really good, Navy earning some serious flowers and some epic bragging rights.
  15. GO ARMY! BEAT NAVY! (And I think they will, maybe best Army team I've seen)
  16. Supercontracts are dumb. Signing supercontracts is dumb. Their 'hit rate' is insanely low. Supercontracts remind me so much of NFL GMs drafting guys bc they looked amazing with their shirt off at the combine and lifted 90 billion deadthrusts instead of drafting good football players - you've seen the mistake play out over and over and over again for decades now, but no one seems to learn from it and in fact end up supporting it angrily..(?!)
  17. I'm at peace with it. Good luck Tuck, you were fun as hell to root for. Return on the trade is very good, IMO. And I agree, I think this means Bregman is done, since we got two guys who can play 3B. I disagree.
  18. And to get us back on track: Probably need two or three Ogres like, well, Ogre here, at DT out of the portal now, no?
  19. Rex on it, too. I think bad play by Azeez but slide rule is an issue that needs a look. Seen QBs fake the slide, past weekend saw Mayfield slide about a 1/4 second before contact and get up asking ref for flag, who emphatically shook his head no at Mayfield and Baker pouted.
  20. Ryans stood behind Azeez today, saying we don't teach that, Azeez would never intentionally hurt anyone, but also that Jax overreacted and the rule must change because QBs don't get down like they're supposed to. He did stop short of saying bitches like Mahomes and Allen abuse the fuck out of this rule. Fucking love this guy. Make no mistake: I think Azeez has done some extremely aggressive things and this was one of them, but also John McClain saying this was worst hit he's seen in his 48 year career and other similar pearl clutching was overboard.
