I think of the two items, patriots D was legitimately good and deserved to be in the Super Bowl. Vrabel is a wizard there. but it is incredible how lucky their path was. It was patriots esque.

I do think Maye is good, but this playoffs was ridiculous. Seahawks were a monster all year, just didn’t have the prime time whooping just close games with rams. John Schneider is incredible with defense. Found so many impactful guys in many routes (draft, FA, trades). Called high on Russ and Geno and just a year or two late with Pete. incredible exec.

It is obviously so we can sign Gianni’s in the offseason!

The worst thing of all of this is just the bulls are not playing in the nba the way that other teams are playing in the nba. They gave them a jersey, and let them walk out during intros. But they are basically the nba equivelant of yuki

one of my favorite reinsdorf gimmicks is letting the GMs who couldn't build something up get first run at tearing it down. Just another pathetic feather in his cap.

I used to be a big fan of “pitchers randomly change so it is good to go for them at bottom” but no idea.

I’m so embarrassed I don’t have a take here.

that's true, I thought maybe the problem was he was the bigger 'levity'/goof in the pairings, and he just needed a bigger goof. But probably is more the deference/respect he had for Boers. Not sure who would have that pull since dan's kinda the old man now.

Bernstein was really rough at the end. He sounds so much better again, which may be second wind PLUS he had really bad partner matches.

God I hate this miserable owner.

When I listen, aside from just never really getting over her being so dumb about that proposed Cease trade, they just sound like what happens when it's and imitation of an imitation. The farther we get from the originals that sounded refreshing when bringing snark and cynicism into the free flowing sports radio, the more it's just reflexive snark that isn't a response to anything. It's just 'let me assume this is stupid because that is the default way you should sound on sports radio', and you can't hide from there being no substance actually there for 4 hrs.

It was interesting to me too how much livelier Bernstein has been post re-birth. I could not stand him post Boers, he was all the sharp parts and none of goofier ones. Add to that - just zero chemistry with his partners. Hearing old boers and bernstein clips had me splitting my side. I assumed my tastes had just changed, forgot how hard that show could make me laugh.

Love how much JR believes in FA spending on bullpen.

So sad this year is over.

I agree it was close and it’s not a shocking ruling, but conceptually hard for me to watch that last INT from broncos and see it as an INT. I don’t like how the stripping of the ball started really post ground contact. It wasn’t like a jump ball scenario, just a “took the ball away on the ground”. But JJ Watt brought up a good point that had he done that (stripped the ball post landing), it had likely been ruled incomplete and we’d probably have agreed. But losing a takeaway there just seems incorrect. Had the ball “bounced” and went into his arms maybe it’s different to me.

I would assume weather related Rams have seemed very beatable recently but stafford would just throw 600 yards against us. Every team is tough, have hard time believing Eagles would let us run all over them again.

I wish I could believe I’ll do this but I’ll be calling for DAs head next week as well

Defensively…they were a completely diff line in the second half. I think they are garbage, but in a playoff game they played their asses off.

How am I supposed to even have a reference for this team? It is so foreign to anything I’ve ever seen. they are routinely the worst thing I’ve ever seen. They are so routinely the best thing I’ve ever seen. I don’t deserve what they do

But the young defensive core Poles built… to build back to front…and then they are all made of glass and now slow and hobbled. Hope he gets fired still.

I defended Allen a lot, because this bears defense is bad because poles can’t spot defense if trayce Armstrong handed him one. but he’s making chicken s%*# into chicken s%*#. I think his only goal now is to let up scores quick and hope the offense gets a good sequence.

Yeah just casually missing the 2006 Super Bowl run.

Problem is going into that cycle it looked very strong. this one is helped by Harbaugh, but when Nagy is a hot candidate after being OC for a time missing the playoffs… This feels like a cycle similar to us hiring Eberflus.

Even so…If you are unsure about a coach I just do not understand thinking this is the cycle to jump into. Forces you into a 4-5 year contract and it’s such a weak HC cycle.

NFL has lost its mind, my goodness.
