Bye, Dan.
Thank God I switched that off at half time.
Look at the state of Luke Willson
Anyone keep Foles' number?
We do have a decent record of backups coming in in the play offs...
Josh McCown throwing to Deontay Burnett & Greg Ward with Boston Scott in the backfield.
THIS IS HAPPENING. IN THE PLAYOFFS
And we still beat the Cowboys with this
Sounds like he's in some bother by the looks of that.
Tough way to bow out that, but we just ran out of guys to turn to.
We only had Ward at WR who caught a pass. The rest was just to a TE or a dump off. Even then McCown was limping through the game. I also question some of the calls at the death of the game. To get a 1st and goal on the 10 with only a TD being good enough, should really see 4 shots at the end zone. Considering how Clowney was destroying the front too they should have been quick passes from shotgun.
Even with all of that said, we did extremely well to make a game of it and a season of it. I'd quite like to see some younger blood in at WR over the off season and maybe a change in OC.
What a wildcard weekend, it must be said. 4 close games with 2 overtime finishes. A couple of surprises with the Titans and Vikings winning. All we need now is Tennessee to roll to the Superbowl, with Derrick Henry rushing for 200 yards every game.
Titans/Vikings in the run it bowl
You're excluding the greatest ever rushing team?
It doesn't count when it's all trickery and play design. This is for REAL NFL teams, that run it straight down the middle on all three downs. Get the Redskins in there while we're at it.
Hope the Ravens walk it from here.
Cowboys have hired Mike McCarthy.
Just me who doesn't rate him?
We have Tua.
On the subject of injured Alabama players making decisions about whether or not to enter the 2020 NFL draft, did we mention Dylan Moses returning to school? This LB class is going to be pretty bad, but next year you’ll have Moses & Micah Parsons, which is going to be at least on the same level of beastliness as the Devins.

Also, does anyone remember the name of the qb displaced at Clemson by Trevor lawrence?
No. Didn’t think so.
What’s this Burreaux shite about?
https://fanbuzz.com/college-football...-senior-night/
Tua to Miami at 5 is the obvious call, but they could easily trade up to 3 if they really want him & someone else tries to make a deal with Detroit. Not sure whether Fromm is coming out - the talk of him going back to school picked up in the last month of the season - but even if he does he might not make the first round anyway. He'll get lots of credit for his football intelligence & character, but his arm is average & he's not mobile, so you could argue he's the Josh Rosen of the class in terms of play style.
Justin Herbert will go in the first & then you have Jordan Love & Jalen Hurts who are guys that teams could probably talk themselves into based on TRAITS.
Oh, and @Foe, the name you're looking for is Kelly Bryant.
Haha yeah I knew it was Kelly Bryant. I just forgot how much of a shitter his post Clemson career went. Injured at mizzou. Nice one.
Is deondre Francois draft eligible yet? 😉
Hurts I think will go in the second. He’s a better josh dobbs with a history of wins. Could see someone like Tennessee fancying him as a back up / develop option. Maybe even Baltimore if trace mcsorley is deemed expendable.
Yep, Francois is in one of the small bowl games this week, actually. I saw a Twitter post earlier today with a list of QBs on one team that included him, Khalil Tate (I thought he'd said he was going back to school but evidently not) & Alex Hornibrook.
No idea who any of the others are. I've not been on it this year really.

Cracking.
Rhule to Carolina and Joe Judge (Patriots special teams) to the Giants.
Rhule getting $62m for that too.
And he’ll go down in flames.
I dunno, he’s done an excellent job at Baylor, and it sounds like he’s going to get a decent bit of backing - apparently Tepper has already agreed to build him a sports science department like he got set up at Baylor.
I’ve just discovered that there’s an OT in this draft class called Ketel Asse

This is pretty dry but I still found it interesting.
Yeah, it’s interesting to see how paying up affects roster building - it does seem to be the real world version of playing a Madden franchise if it had a hard mode.
I had entirely forgotten that Manning took a paycut with Denver to help keep other players and assumed he was going to be one of the $20m exceptions.
Fuck them for putting Ravens on late tomorrow
Don't you stay up watching shit until all hours anyway?
Yeah but I'm no longer a young man and I hit the wall around 3. These games usually go until 4:30 or so.
It's an interesting conversation. A good QB fit is surprisingly hard to find these days. However if it were me building the team, unless the QB is properly special then I would be asking them to get on a team friendly deal or find a promising rookie.
I'd definitely pony up for Wilson and probably for Rodgers, but a Cousins or a Jimmy G? I'd rather put that into the O-Line. The Broncos showed the value of spreading the cash elsewhere when old Manning won despite his arm disintegrating.
If Jackson keeps up his current level or close to it he should be in and around $40m too.
As did the Ravens when they won with Dilfer.
Still the only QB to be released after winning the Super Bowl.
That was the best defense ever played the game though. We’ll never see the like.
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...hamstring-tear
McCown played with his hamstring torn off the bone which happened sometime in the second quarter. That's mad.
He's going to be out for around 6 months.
lol.
Al Harris
The Packers could really do with winning this to exorcise some of the demons from the last time, but their defence will never slow Wilson down.
I had heard he has signed a contract with them but just assumed it was an ambassador role or something and not as an actual competitor.
Errr what? I also love that the shirt has Bimbo on it.
Vikings/Niners in about an hour.
Good finish to the FCS championship game.
And of course for the first time in 6 weeks, NowTV decides to be a turd.
Turns out he lost 6-0 yesterday in the quarter-finals (apparently if you're playing for the host club you advance automatically).
It was against the guy who finished third last year and the year before but still.
His whole tournament hasn't gone well:

That was a great opening drive from the Niners.
