This just in.... KC is really good
It would be amazing if the Browns could pull this out though

The Ravens center said it was so loud they had to switch to a silent snap count.

6700 people...insane.

Boss, you are trending into Fitz territory with several poster who take offense to you constant antics. In hockey metaphore, you wre the guy doing the face washing from behind your teammate in a scrum while he has HIS opponent's arms tied up.

But go on, you are getting worse by the post.

Btw, glad Bass missed that ~40 yarder from the right hash...his problem area.

I'm not getting into it with you ion. I respect you.

It's no different than real life.

Guy says something first about your family
You say something back.

Guy cries and acts like he didnt say anything.

I would not have mentioned his family , without him repeatedly mentioning my family first.

That's life. I appreciate you intervening and for the sound advice. No offense taken. Again it's a respect factor.

I'm not worried about the misses. Tucker is quite possibly the best kicker of all time. He missed twice, same wind, same endzone.

QB Deshaun Watson 'just wants out'

Source: Sports Illustrated

Houston Texas QB Deshaun Watson remains unhappy with the direction of the franchise, and 'just wants out,' a source close to Watson told Sports Illustrated in an online article posted Saturday, Jan. 16.



so if they go the only trade to nfc teams

bears, redskins, 49ers, lions, atlanta

anyone else?



giants?

- homiedclown

Vikings maybe? They need defense too but no reason they can’t win with all the talent on WR and arguably the best back in the game

I guarantee you Watson ends up in Atlanta, if he does in fact get traded.

Scary part is Devils are looking pretty good too. Makes our very hard division even harder. Imagine if we got 8 against Detroit and Chicago? Almost s gift in that division.

I’d say if we fall to around 5-8-2 after 15 we’re done

Makes the most sense for sure. Ryan has been a disappointment to say the least. Somehow that asshat ends up on my fantasy bench every year lol

As soon as it leaked he was unhappy and wanted out, I suggested Atlanta. Ryan isn't terrible but his time in ATL is over.

Houston needs a 1st rounder. Or two.

Ryan, 2021 1st, 2022 2nd

for

Watson

Houston can try Ryan out for one more year, draft a young QB or fill in holes elsewhere with the 1st-rounder. It's also a non-conference trade.

Atlanta then gets another franchise QB immediately, has a young and good receiving corps, a solid defense, and can run the NFC South with Brees and Brady both on their way out within the next couple of years. Carolina is in limbo, too.

It makes too much sense.

Why not anywhere else?
Is Atlanta trying to get rid of Ryan?
I’d think about 10 or so teams could be interested in Watson

Does Houston want Matt Ryan though?
I think they’d draft a QB if they get Atlanta’s 1st,
which i think is a top5 pick

👍

Side note : despite the bickering over tage, He's stood out to me in both games. Kinda think the Sabres are using him wrong currently.

Tage doesn't seem like the one - time sniper shooter . Like oloffson. That type of player compliments eichel.

Tage might be more of a play maker, like skinner. Not sure if he needs the top center to be effective.
Go to the net, jam a lose puck in, shoot from a distance?
The stick handling is going to get some big time recognition soon. Underappreciated.

The dead cap might be a wash?

Not sure I haven't looked into Ryan's cap but I know Watson carries a huge dead cap

I'd bring Ryan in to hold down the fort kind of like Alex Smith did for Mahomes

Tage looked terrible last game
Looked “meh” to me in the 1st game
Obviously I’ve never loved the guy, but i just haven’t seen enough positive out of him to come close to change my mind
But it’s only been 2 games, and I’m trying to stay open minded & give the kid a chance
So we’ll see

Tough to keep a top5 drafted QB on the sidelines though
I’d rather get another asset if I’m Houston,
and just sign a vet qb like Dalton or Fitz, etc
