    Get ready for some bench warmer to lead the team in carries as Najee Harris is used as a decoy!

    Was the Warren-to-starter move permanent or just a short-term thing at the end of the season?  If Warren's still the backup, Smith's weird preference of giving the backup more carries might work out for the better.

    Why does everyone hate Purdy?  Kid got drafted dead last and he's on less than two years experience.  Seems like a nice guy, too.  

    It took Peyton Manning seven years to have a QB rating higher than Purdy's was this year.

     

    By product of the media hyping him up as a MVP candidate most of the season.  On his best days right now, he's peak Alex Smith with the 49ers/Chiefs, not Peyton Manning/Tom Brady.

    And when he does crash and burn, they automatically fall back on the draft pick/years status.  Can't have it both ways.

    Go get your MVP trophy motherfucker.

    Everyone knows who the real one is.

    Lamar Jackson = Joel Embiid.  Individual hardware, unquestionably worthy of being the franchise player, never seems to be "the guy" you can count on in the later rounds of the playoffs.

    This trial turned out just how Trump wanted.  He wanted to lose, bigly.  Alina did exactly what she was supposed to.  
     

    You can’t destroy the rule of law, which you’ve told your acolytes is sad and unfair, if you win trials.  You have to lose. Then you lose and it’s proof it was unfair, these judges and the jury and the deep state but you’ll fix it! After you’re president you’ll just declare everything you do or did legal and you had to, because the courts are so unfair. 
     

    I am not kidding. Americans are like dodo birds, we are entirely unprepared to recognize what’s in front of us. We can’t conceive of a would be dictator losing his cases on purpose just to prove to everyone that it’s all unfair and we shouldn’t have laws apply to him. But that’s what’s happening. Winning court cases are for chumps, winning elections and never leaving means you never have to win a court case. 

    His followers don't need proof of anything other than him proclaiming it to be true.  If he were to win the upcoming election, he'll do his best to give himself a lifetime get out of jail card irrespective of however many civil/criminal trials he's involved in and whether or not he's found guilty.

    He's not playing 4D chess.  He hires people who do/say what he wants.  It just doesn't work as well when he can't pay the judge and jury as well.

    Belichik to the eagles, calling it now 

    Depends alot on what he thinks of Hurts.  Belichick didn't want to pay prime Tom Brady a max/full market value because it would eat up too much cap, now he's gonna be cool with Jalen Hurts and that $255 million contract kneecapping the payroll for the foreseeable future?

    Those terrible losses to the Cardinals and Patriots are going to kill the Steelers season. Could be sitting at 11-5.

    Ugh.

    Does it really matter though?  Steelers weren't/aren't making any noise in the playoffs with their qb situation.  The slightly higher draft pick probably won't matter much, but the odds of it helping out long term are better than the odds of winning more than 1 round in the playoffs.

    It’s like the Steelers have an offense

    So based on the results this year with Dobbs and Browning, they should start Rudolph the last two weeks of the regular season, then if they sneak into the playoffs, bench Rudolph for the next practice squad guy.

    Do you guys consider Florida State a Blue Blood? They have 3 titles but less wins than aTm

    Florida and Clemson both have 3 titles and more wins than FSU.  Do either of those usually get recognized as a Blue Blood?

    Chargers looking to get their coach fired. Laying down. Too bad the owners won’t force the Spanos family to sell.

    That offense tonight directed by Kellen Moore. I’m so glad McCarthy ran that dick weasel out of Texas.

    They definitely want him fired.  There's a long list of teams that could have justifiably quit this season and instead kept going.  Just off the top of my head, Bengals after Burrow went down, Vikings after Cousins went down and Jefferson was out for most of the season, the Giants, not so much because they miss Daniel Jones but Tommy DeVito was their next option, or the Jets each time their ownership foists Zach Wilson on them.

    Only the Chargers immediately and completely gave up.

  10. Mahomes just now complaining about how the refs are supposed to warn them first before making the call with 1 minute left in the game.  What kind of bullshit logic isnthat?  So now we can wait till the end of the 4th quarter to commit a blatant penalty and the refs are supposed to swallow the whistle because they didn't warn us throughout the game?

  11. Non-PPR, Gibbs at Chicago or Hubbard at New Orleans?  Seems like Dan Campbell has slowly but surely tiled the distribution back to Montgomery vs a timeshare, while Hubbard got the workhorse treatment last week after Reich got fired.

    Is this the weakest Heisman field ever like only 1 of these guys is gonna have a career in the NFL

    2012 is really tough to beat.  Manziel got the award for throwing up prayers to Mike Evans all season and getting bailed out and Manti Te'o was the only guy without shouting distance of him in Heisman points.

    The SEC champ is getting in. Period. There is all kinds of logic to prove there are better more deserving teams but that’s just not realistic.  Somebody is getting fucked between us, UW, and FlaSt. But the SEC champ is not going to be the one left out. 

    In that case it's between FSU and Texas.  0% chance Washington is left out at this point.  They're going to be at worst the #2 seed.

    They put Bama in over Texas with a H2H loss, we riot!!!

     

    they’re opening a can of worms 

    Committee don't give a shit about the can of worms with the playoff expanding.  Doesn't mean they will leave Texas out in favor of Bama though.

    Alabama is absolutely making the playoff. Take that to the bank. Texas will not be ranked below them and I think we see a number 1 ranked Texas tomorrow afternoon. Guys it's time to sell your home, sell your car, and dump the girlfriend. We have playoff tickets to buy

    You that confident in Iowa beating the fightin' Harbaughs?  And in the event that does happen, undefeated Washington gets the #1 seed.

    CFB committee is going to be praying for a Louisville win tonight.

    That was happening regardless of Bama potentially winning this game.  Nobody outside of Tallahassee wants to see FSU and their backup qb pull a Notre Dame in the playoff semi-finals.
