NFL Week 1: Eagles defend their SB championship

Tomlin, like Serena, gets a pass with the cliched: “Passionate and ultimate competitor”

 

I look at it more like watching another Belichick assistant get horrifically overmatched when left to his own devices.

 

His coaching tree is a dead weed.

 

You are blinded by your idiocy.

 

Man, as a Giants fan, we sure dodged a bullet not drafting Darnold. What a bust....

 

It was a horribly officiated game. Plenty were wrong that helped the Browns and only one terrible call involved a turnover, the one on the punt that bounced off Chubb's helmet that saved Cleveland in the fourth quarter.

Evil reminded me of the other really bad missed call, the peel-back block. Taylor ripped off a long run on a play that should have been a personal foul on the Browns.

 

That was my question. Maybe he was using something ambiguous because he wanted to thumb his nose at the team without being held accountable. Maybe he did it because he's an idiot. Either way, he needs to show up or shut up.

 

Rams' slow start may have been a result of rust from sitting starters all of preseason

Seems to me that (a) the score and (b) no starters out for injury incurred during a preseason game makes this Plaschke column more ridiculous than usual.

Edit: Apologies for injecting some West Coast flavor into this Yinzer thread.

 

What I said 15 years ago on this board rings true today. Unless this dummy is writing about the Compton High girls softball team, or some player's mom dying of cancer, he is utterly useless as a writer.

The Times should revoke his press pass, and make him write just human interest stories.

 

No, he really doesn't get a pass, especially not in Pittsburgh. He gets ripped plenty by the fans, including Steelers fans here. He also gets it from some national media.

What you don't hear is anything from the organization, though there was a rumor that some minority owners wanted him out this past offseason, because the Steelers don't do that. They are incredibly patient with their head coaches. That's also one reason you may not see much of it in the media, because they know he isn't going anywhere.

 

"The rule specifically says 'most, if not all, of your body weight,'" Riveron said Monday. "So we want that player to make an effort. And the last three or four weeks, we have pulled extensive video to show the clubs exactly what we're talking about. ... Because the question we get all the time is, 'Well, what do you want our players to do?'”

Is there some threshold of body weight that officials are supposed to decide in real time, with no review, is or isn’t acceptable? Is it 51 percent? 75 percent? Do smaller players get more leeway?

This rule is going to be a disaster that ruins the season. It’s going to decide the Super Bowl on the last drive.

 

I stand corrected.
