    2019 NFL Post Season Thread - Rams vs. Patriots for SuperBowl

    Coaches clearly felt that keeping Lamar in gave them a better chance to win the game. Just because you have another option doesn't mean it's the better one.

    I agree completely when he talks about coaches marginalizing what young QB's need to learn. Lot of talk about Goff getting so much help from McVay through the headset pre-snap and not knowing the reads himself. Also agreed Kaepernick should have focused way more on his weaknesses than working...

    It's also retroactively justifying Flacco's ability to change the outcome overall which doesn't fit with his play the last month or so when he was in, nor the previous 4 or 5 years at this point. Especially when lacking a ground game in support, he's just been bad. Even worse against a pass...

    Not that people only focus on the last play...but some games are going to be close and come down to needing to execute. Bears got the ball back with under a minute left and 1 timeout. Getting into decent FG position was good execution. Sometimes it does come down to one play at the end, one...

    Second time suspect accuser with potential audio evidence that she was trying to set him up? Zeke's suspension wasn't a good look for Goodell either. Maybe they get it right this time? Unless Mara still has sway over this sort of stuff and fucks the Redskins just like he did the Cowboys with...

    Yeah I don't actually buy any materia for melds, I grind scripts for that meteria. Frankly a few of the left side gathering pieces "fully melded" isn't even all 5 materia. Not sure why the gathering sets always have a few pieces like that but they do. If I'm bored watching a stream or...

    My main concern is that Saulnier only did 2 episodes and dipped. The reviews seem to give him a lot of credit for those episodes, then state the next 3 did an okay job of not losing what he was doing. Just wonder if that will hold up through the finish with a decent ending.

    That's my main issue with Redskins fans cheering this result. The guy clearly has judgement issues simply for staying in any contact with this person beyond the first incident. I feel he'll continue to be a circus.

    Yeah not sure if I need too many more stormsaps, I still have about 30 with ~25 Hawk Eye's Sand made already.

    The only thing that might prevent him from getting punished is reading some rumors that a witness came forward with a recording of the accuser demanding he give her money/pay off credit debt of hers or something. Could be a total sham from the start.

    I mostly agree with everything in here other than I find it very interesting still, but I agree it's weaker for focusing so much on Howard's wife on both sides.

    Quenton Nelson, a guard...who the Colts were more than happy to take at #6 after trading back 3 spots with the Jets (picking up two extra 2nd's this past year and another in 2019). Pretty sure Denver was going to take Nelson at #5 except Chubb fell to them. Kid's a stud.

    True, also the fact that Leonard was drafted about 20 spots below Esch at the start of Round 2 and made the impact he did from day 1 is a mark in his favor. Also didn't just seem to be a tackle machine, guy was making plays rushing the passer with 7 sacks and 4 forced fumbles. Esch was a...

    3 seasons at most? I mean don't get me wrong, the character backstory stuff and slow burn are still interesting to me...but we still haven't even gotten any REALLY big reveals on either side yet.

    This. The whole "well he produced b/c there wasn't anyone else" v. "he produced despite defenses knowing there was no one else" can get weighted either way. Only Giant that had more receiving TD's than him was Beckham (6 v. 4). He had 11 of their 13 rushing TD's. However we want to rank it...

    Right...it's just because of how bad Cleveland has been, I think people sleep on the fact that of all the other 1st round draft picks (other than Lamar Jackson, who went 32nd) at QB, he actually went into the best situation as far as talent around him.

    Agree with @Sterling . I think Mayfield was absolutely great the last stretch run of the year and was a big part of them having such an improved year...but he shouldn't get all of the credit. Garret and Ward on D, Chubb eventually taking over as the starter, etc. Giants had 8 of their...

    This is definitely true for some, especially since Rooney Rule (not that they have to be hired, but I'm sure more teams will hire because reasons). Still plenty that don't get the job when they should, or those that do get hired onto shitty teams with very little chance of success. Wilks in...

    Still curious what would have happened if the refs hadn't screwed over the Browns by that would be 99 yard fumble recovery TD at end of 1st half being whistled dead or whatever the excuse is. Obviously the way the Ravens play the 2nd half would have been completely different as well, so who knows.

    Good deal, will definitely wait until then. I just remember the light farm being pretty irritating last go round (in HW), but got one really sweet AS1 group when it was bonus and it made it go quickly.
