NFL Week 17--The Harold Carmichael Edition

Exactly. Throw a fade so that your receiver has a huge advantage on high pointing the ball. Don’t throw in front of the defenders on a freaking slant.

 

Get Wilson moving out of the pocket, anything but over the middle like that.

 

He hadn't been accurate all day long and the throws that moved them downfield at the end of the game were more prayers than passes. To have a QB who's having accuracy issues throw into the most crowded space on the field wasn't great.

 

I watched the doc on The Patriot Way and that win was all about prep. Butler said they knew that play was the fav but that they completed it against him every time in practice but in the game he knew it was coming and he was ready. That stuff made me give the Pats the utmost respect. That was more about Pats prep than Seahawks failure. (1 for 5 is eyeoppening)

 

Bills' legend Elbert "Golden Wheels" Dubenion has died. He was the last of the original Buffalo Bills to retire.

Averaged 27.1 YPC for the 1964 AFL champions.

Anybody see the play that injured Skins QB Haskins?
Giants' Golden earns $1M bonus after stat change

If you, can you tell me why the "Tom Brady" penalty wasn't called on Giants LB Lorenzo Carter?

I've seen that play called 1000 times, but not for Haskins.

 

It was a timing route, and when Wilson threw it Lockett was open. Wilson threw to a spot. Butler beat him to the spot by a half-step because he recognized the play and reacted perfectly from the snap (backing off the receivers so he didn't get caught in the pick play), to seeing where the pass was going (he broke on it at the snap, and to making the interception. It's not like Wilson threw the ball into triple coverage. Butler made a hell of a play, on a play that was very well-designed and should have been a walk-in touchdown.
You can argue about whether they should have run the ball or not. That debate will last forever, and the answer in hindsight is of course they should have run it. But if they were going to pass, that was an excellent play call -- even a safe call -- because there was only one player on the field in a position to stop it from being a touchdown and he was 11-12 yards off the ball at the snap. Unfortunately for the Seahawks, that one guy did indeed stop it from being a touchdown.

 

At least the Browns will always have Myles Garrett.

 

Here's hoping for a pulled hammy during the workout.
What a hideous scumbag.

 

Free AB! Let him play. If he's not in jail, the NFL should allow him to play.

 

I see what you're saying.
The NFL can't not let you play just for being stupid.
Million dollar talent. 2 cent brain.

 

You know what it is for me at this point, its that the NFL, NBA, MLB,NCAA pretend to be some sort of moral arbiter and they are not. In fact they are all monopolistic cartels that control the means of production and supply. Want to participate in the sports entertainment industry? It’s almost easier to open a private nuclear power plant.
Like Mel Gibson’s movies? Ignore his drunken fueled rampages against minorities and enjoy them. Most people will.
Can Brown do the job? As long as he’s not in jail or under house arrest he certainly can. If people don't like it, they will not watch. If he can’t get on the field because he’s too stupid to get to the stadium then he deserves what happens to him. He’s an adult with more opportunities in this world than 99.9% of the population. Fuck him if he can’t handle it. Mental health issues? He has insurance and money and people around him. Get him help.
Richie Incognito can play and Kaepernick can’t? Fucking racist country.
Mark Emmert is lying fraud, enriching himself and his employers at the expense of others, especially very young adults without the means to fight back. IF the players want money from schools to get them to be employees, let them. I bet Saban got a signing bonus or up front money for taking the Alabama job eat the kids. And since 1865 no one has made more money on the backs of unpaid labor than Mike Krzyzewski.

Especially in the NFL where rules are adjusted to get to desired outcomes, let them play. In all sports if medicines or pharmaceutical products exist to heal quicker and stronger, let them. When a dirty petulant old man like Jerry Jones can choose between private planes to get to his whores, the players ought to get be able to play, if they are able.
