It’s irrelevant because the voters are so deadset on giving it to a QB, that the actual best player in the country, Jeremiyah Love, has been virtually disregarded.

if Bams wins, final SEC rankings would be?

1) UGA
2) Bama
3) A&M
4) Ole Miss?


How would UGA be 1st in this scenario if they have the same conference record and Bama beat UGA?

At the very least, Philly needs to answer for the change in his “deal is done” stance.


And "press release this afternoon with full press conference in 48 hours". I feel like this guy reads rumors he (and maybe a handfull of others) deem as credible on some paid site, and then ups the ante with his bullshite "it's done" comment to come off as an even more plugged-in source.
Do you think these guys are doing this from a need-for-attention standpoint or trying to speak it into existence? I don't really understand what motivates someone to create an alter ego of some plugged in source and post made up shite over here.

In retrospect, Paige's comment to Francis on the first hole "You've obviously never played competitive golf" is wild given 1) Dalke who obviously played competitively also didn't want to give the putt, and 2) Paige later improving Mo's lie and then playing victim and preying on the others' empathy.

The Invitational was well produced, well-viewed, and amazing content which should've helped the brand of everyone there. It crushed Paige's.

I would not apply; it is too passive aggressive of a move. I would bring it up to whoever told you the new position would not result in an increase and ask them to clarify their original statement or their understanding of your current compensation.


This is 100% the correct way to go about it.

I was shocked they didn't stick with the run in the second half. There are yards to be had between the tackles against the Falcons.


Brady had a pretty bad game last night. Cook was getting the yards you mentioned via the avenue you mentioned, but Brady still couldn't help himself from trying to throw it around the park to a depleted WR corps... against the #1 pass defense in the league.

You'd think that watching Bijan skulldrag Buffalo's defense would maybe enlighten Brady to feature his own run game. Or, potentially, get the ball into Cook's hands in space via the pass like they've done in the 4 games they've won.
Wallet says Beck, I have a futures bet on him. Head says Mendoza will have the shortest odds after today. Simpson is playing well but he’s the type who gets invited to NY to clap for the winner.

I think Haynes King should be the front runner, though. He’s a gamer and really is the engine behind GT’s cinderella season.
It tends to take a little heat off the guy at the plate when, in the same game, he can walk out to the mound and get you 9Ks, 6 innings, and a quality start.
quote:

Patrick Mahomes tailspin the last 3 years has been insane. He went from Goat contender to 19th best QB in the league overnight.


He still is a GOAT contender. He, and Andy Reid, had to totally redesign their offense to this quick-passing west coast type of offense once Tyreek left and father time caught up to Kelce. I think they've done a hell of a job with that, all things considered. It's obviously not as fun to watch, but it's still pretty damn effective. With Worthy on the team now, and Rice coming back, I think you'll start to see their offense begin to open up again.

I'd love to see a team where he is coached by Dan Campbell


Those two on some type of Hard Knocks show would be must watch TV.
I can't remember where I saw the comment but someone said he looks like a fullback playing QB and it's all I can see now. Something doesn't look right about him dropping back, going through progressions, and delivering the ball with anticipation. The missed deep ball to D Smith on 3rd down was tough to watch.

I'm not sure if the bland play calling is due to those limitations, or Hurts' limitations are due to the bland play calling, but Eagles' play designs appear elementary relative to their peers.

Battle for first place comes down to MNF. Half-point PPR and I'm up 8.3 points. Opponent has JChase and Miami D. Who would you start in this situation?

Chase Brown @ DEN
or
Waddle vs. NYJ
Rural area west of Houston is > $200/sqft. Guy I know is GC'ing his own construction and expects to be ~$185/sqft.

In 2021, my wife & I built a fully custom home for $161/sqft financed at 2.75%. Sounds great except we're now slaves to our own equity, I doubt we'll see that type of deal again in our lifetime.

I’ve felt this year was down so far. Just didn’t see any data on it until now.


I think a lot of it has to do with the new kickoff rules and where teams start with the ball now.
quote:

I cant imagine myself sitting Tyreek Hill for Garret Wilson who has Tyrod Taylor throwing him the ball if they even throw it.


Honestly, I couldn't imagine sitting either one of those for Olave. Certainly not Hill, he's (very) likely to have the script in his favor tonight against a much better team. Wilson is a huge talent and my bet is that Tyrod locks onto him and peppers him with targets. Bucs are a good run D, they're going to sell out on Hall and the run game.

I've been wrong before, and I'll be wrong again, but Olave is an easy sit here for me.

Thanks Chicken! I sent an email from my Gmail account. Let me know if anything else is needed.
12-team half-PPR and the draft is half auction, half snake. WRs were quite expensive this year and ended up loading up on RBs

QB: Josh Allen
RB: JTaylor
RB: Chase Brown
WR: Deebo
WR: Pearsall
TE: Andrews
FLX: James Cook

Bench: K. Coleman, Waddle, Najee, Chubb, Pitts

WR was obviously a huge concern (and to a point still is), but gonna have that when you draft 3 RB1s. Even still, 3 of the 4 WR performed well this weekend -- Deebo & Coleman had double digit targets, Pearsall looked good with 7 targets. Obviously gamescript played big into Coleman's performance, but Allen trusted him in several big moments and Coleman converted. Deebo had easy rapport with Daniels.

Waddle is likely cooked, and I am at TE, but feeling okay about my roster compared to how lopsided it felt coming into the week.
Interesting data, for sure. How do we read more on some of these statistics? I'd like to see the demo makeup of the USPS, for example.

re: If Josh Allen had a defense

You can't have everything when you pay one player nearly 14% of your cap. Allen is obviously other-worldly, but there's only so much money to go around with a salary cap.

Since we're on the topic of Buffalo's defense, whenever the camera found the DB #8 for Buffalo last night, he was constantly wide-eyed like a deer in headlights. Game was moving far too fast for him, he looked lost.
