Well, White was 3 years ago. And you are right about health. The assumption could be that we are drafting players with medical flags that other teams are rooting out, could be our training staff.

 

To me drafts have been pretty good the guy just needs more picks.

Glad Vic is back

This is a great staff.

It really is. Fangio coming back is big. I don't think he gets near enough credit for the work he's done.

Lmao they have to keep Sanchez

 

Maybe Trubisky will be a big hit, but Floyd, the jury is still out, and White, right now a bust. It isn't over for those two, and maybe all 3 will be Pro Bowlers eventually, but he does need his top draft pick to stay healthy and help the team win in year one.

 

Looks like he did find some gems in later rounds. His free agent signings have to be more like Hicks.

Trubisky will be fine, but Floyd is a stud. Pace's drafting would be fine if the team was already well established, but Trestman/Emery destroyed the roster.

The OJ jury might still be out on Floyd, but he's legit, no doubting that.

Philly may darn well show me up here, I would have picked Atlanta.

Foles getting some revenge for playoff lost four years ago when leading at same point in 4th.

 

Philly has definitely had some tough luck in the postseason...maybe not quite as cursed as the Chiefs, but I’m sure 95% of their fans thought the Falcons would score there to break hearts again.

The homer calls for New England are so infuriating.

This times infinity. Refs wear Pats gear under their unis. I had to stop myself from throwing my remote through my new tv. If NE wins another SB I may puke.

I don't think Atlanta wants to hear about tough luck in the postseason.

 

The Titans were never going to win but the conservative decision making by their coach was infuriating. Stop punting!

That punt on 4th and 2 near midfield is when they lost any chance to win that game.

That catch was ridiculous. Bouye had his hand grabbing the back of Brown's jersey for 40 yards and he still caught it.

Blake Bortles is clutch?

Blake Bortles is clutch?

 

I don't trust him against a Belichick led Pats team at all despite the Jags D. Brady might be walking to another Super Bowl.

Every NFL team needs to hire an in game strategist to handle last minute decisions, because NFL head coaches obviously can't handle them. The Steelers needed to kick a field goal to have time after an onside kick, it was so obvious, especially after the intentional grounding.

I'm trying to adjust the color on my tv - not an easy task when Joe Buck's hair is my reference point.

No doubt. They Patriots will unfortunately roll over them.

I agree with you, and they obviously needed to kickoff instead of attempting the onside kick with 2:13 left. These coaches say stuff like “we hadn’t shown we could stop them,” dismissing the fact that 9 out of 10 teams just run the ball into the stacked 9-10 man box there anyway.

 

At the point of the intentional grounding, I think the offense was so exhausted they knew the offense was so exhausted that it might not be wise to get down that close and not kick, even if it meant pretty much losing anyway. They all looked defeated at that point.

And it was Bortles. No way Jax was going to do anything but three straight runs. Kick the ball down field, especially with two timeouts and the two min warning.

I actually go back and forth on the onside kick. The execution was so bad, that the decision looks different. If it's a normal onside kick, the ball is around the 45 and the Jaguars punt instead of a field goal, especially in that stadium. The small chance of recovering the onside kick might be worth the 30 yards in field position.

 

To your second point, if they were that defeated, it makes even more sense to kick the field goal. Make it a 7 point game, give them a breather, and if you do recover it, then you can bomb a couple of Hail Marys.

Holy S***

All the ticket brokers holding huge blocks of NFC Championship and Super Bowl tickets just breathed an enormous sigh of relief right there.

 

One clunker, the rest of the games were really entertaining this weekend.

One of the better football games I’ve seen in recent memory.

Marcus Williams, meet Rahim Moore. You guys have a lot in common. Unbelievable.
