    Not going to lie, rooting for him to somehow be the starter against you guys and beat you next year.

    We never were disputing that overall scoring is way down (almost getting to the point where it was in the Dead Puck Era), I just pointed out that a lot of guys had hot starts, and if any could maintain, we could easily still see a 100 point scorer. Even now, before today's games there were 7...

    I feel like if they really felt like they needed to pay Kaeperbro because he played great, they'd find a way to clear cap space. Not like he'd be hurting even taking "only" 6 or 7 million this year. Long term he only makes more money if he can rebuild his career, I don't see that happening in...

    Ah Grimm, remember that discussion about no 100 point scorers anymore? Kane hit the mark today for the year. Although it should be noted he's 12 points ahead of anyone else.

    Stay in that shitshow in SF for an extra couple million...or have the chance to rebuild your career with a contender with a top defense. Guess it depends on the guy, but I'd go to Denver.

    This is honestly hard to judge between. I think the Browns ability to continually fuck up is pretty impressive though. The Niners just had a coach that feuded with management, which caused a rift in a great team. Coupled with all the retirements, I still have to give the Browns the edge...

    Skins were a playoff team last year, and not that dysfunctional anymore either with GMSM at the helm. Speaking of, Skins sign Vernon Davis to 1 year deal.

    Not sure what's been more amusing this last page...someone claiming the Cowboys are as dysfunctional as the Browns, or Cowboys fans using arguments like "we've been in a lot of highly rated games and our franchise is worth $3.2 billion" instead of just laughing at the idiot and pointing out...

    It would make very slight sense if it was at 155. At least then it would have some relevance to a division both guys will likely be competing within down the road. Still, at least Aldo and Frankie get to do an Interim fight with a guarantee that Conor is going back down to face the winner...

    How many times do you see a guy get all pumped up to bring one out last year only to get wrecked by the 15? Smart returners will take the guaranteed 25 yard starting point if the ball lands in the end zone, but I agree you're going to see more kickers try to leave kicks in the air to force a...

    There is some correlation between score adjusted Corsi (a little more accurate than just the flat Corsi number) and who wins the Cup, but there have been winners as low down in the ranking for that as like 14th in the league I think. But on the whole, it's a good thing regarding making a deep...

    Dallas can tie us with ROW if they win out and we lose out in regulation, and they won the season series (all 2 games of it) so they can technically still win it. But yeah, any 1 point we gain or 1 point they lose and we win the President's Trophy. In other news, Stralman out for the...

    Also the irony of RG3 to make his path to starting for the Browns easier is probably hoping that the Rams give up a ton of picks to trade up into the #2 spot to pick a QB.

    I think the Raiders could be a playoff team this year Genj, although maybe I misread that as you saying you think they still need another good draft or two. Also that's crazy have a link to Mayock saying Wentz/Goff are going to be better than Winston/Mariota? Hadn't heard that at all and as...

    I still don't think the Browns trade down unless someone offers them an absolute haul to move up into their spot. But who knows, maybe they're willing to roll with RG3 as starter for a couple of years if they don't like any of the QB's at #2 spot.

    He's in a lot better physical shape (and I'm thinking banged up/injury wise too) than any of those guys were at the end of their careers. He did take a beating against Denver, but if he can maintain his lack of injuries for the next couple of seasons, I don't think his age alone will slow him...

    If he thinks how it happened was a fluke, he'll almost assuredly just get beat again. If he realizes he isn't going to knockout Nate with one punch and stops loading up, it might prevent him from gassing out. I'd think he'd have a better shot at 155, doing it again at 170 I think makes his...

    I think the claim was that the QB going down would cause defenders to "quit" on the play, and thus they shouldn't be allowed to get back up and throw it. Or some such bs.

    The intentional grounding shit should get looked at. I'm not sure how comfortable I am with making it a more subjective call for the officials, because we know they'll fuck it up a lot, but the rule as it's currently written allows for too much bullshit.
