Slowpoke! posted:Good job, goons. We were recognized by Yahoo Sports. Like that's hard, all you need to do is goatse Jeff Passan after he doesn't vote for Jeff Bagwell getting into the hall of fame. Then he calls your mom looking for you. I'm inordinately proud of my very small part of this whole Gruden site and being a jerk and saying "hey maybe try this," after Azhais thought he was done with his funny little joke that we'd be the only ones to ever look at.

ELO Musk posted:How many plays does he know? Slants and Hail Mary? He played for the Bills absolutely terrible offensive coordinator Brian Daboll in 2009-2010. There is basically nothing other than a one year stint at Alabama as OC when he had an overwhelming talent advantage that looks good since then. Also worth noting he and Saban declined to play one of the more talented quarterbacks in the nation all year until the title game when they needed him. So I'd imagine Derek knows Daboll's offense pretty well.

DariusLikewise posted:I mean the Chiefs defense can't really get much worse, I don't think anyone can shape the players they have into a "good" defense though. I'll buy that Hitchens could at least be aggressive in his not-goodness. Dude just like, hangs back and tackles people instead of heading towards a gap or having the ability to read and react in a productive way. I don't remember if I actually posted it here but the guy is like a midrange safety now. His job is to not let people get too terribly far down the field, but he doesn't actually try to stop anyone anywhere near the line.

Good thing the Kansas City team doesn't have any of that. We're obviously headed towards a completely inexplicable 10-6 game.

Why has Buffalo not signed another quarterback? Keep Peterman around as an emergency guy for a week or two while the new guy learns the offense a little, I'm fine with that. But outside of actual emergencies there is absolutely no way this man should ever see the field again. e: I mean, I'd rather play Ryan Lindley and it isn't particularly close. Which is an amazing thing to say.

Jiminy Christmas! Shoes! posted:What is Mission Valley and why would it have been easy to build a stadium there? I'd imagine this is the location San Diego offered to sell to Spanos if he built a stadium on it for $1, which Spanos called something like a slap in the face. At least I know that's a thing they offered him and he refused in typical Spanos fashion.

hifi posted:lindley is probably worse than peterman in that instead of throwing the ball into the dirt he throws them high and those are interceptable. Check out the stats man, I was stunned. Peterman makes Lindley looks like Alex Smith as far as taking care of the ball is concerned. He did not advance the ball well, but he didn't just throw picks constantly either which seems like a net gain.

Master Stur posted:Wonder what dumb team is gonna look at this resume next year and decide he needs another shot I feel like you eventually run out of chances. Of course while I say this I simultaneously think this is at least slightly unfair: Nissin Cup Nudist posted:Sam Bradford is also really bad, not a "fine veteran journeyman" ...because he had a small amount of success when healthy the last couple of years before this one and maybe the coaching made it impossible for anyone outside of someone like Peyton who was good enough to ignore the OC and call their own plays to succeed. But both can probably be true at the same time.

Play posted:His production so far won't be matched of course, but I do think he has more of the physical tools you want than Hyde does. I mean it's hard other than like, young Adrian Peterson or possibly Todd Gurley (or various all time greats obviously) to have more tools than Chubb has. I'll buy into the idea that he has no idea what he's doing in pass protection, but man they just never played a ridiculous talent up until now. e: I'm apparently a lot higher on Chubb than scouts were after looking pre-draft stuff up.

a neat cape posted:Newsome was on the practice squad so I am assuming he's with the team already Does the practice squad travel with the team to away games? I don't see any reason they shouldn't, but at the same time this seems like a really rare situation where it would be important they did. I guess with a London game you get there earlier and can actually use them in practice.

Spoeank posted:49ers national anthem had a stylized flag design with 15 stars. If this is a joke or meaningful in some way I don't get it. Apparently this was a thing at one point (also 15 stripes), but long before California was around. e: I'm going to be so annoyed when this is some joke I don't get because I've spent entirely too much time wondering. I briefly considered trying to get to 15 in some way honoring Dwight Clark, but the Catch was only a 6 yard TD. Maybe a 15 yard catch in the back of the end zone but that's idiotic. 87 is too many stars for anyone to count so they went for 8+7? Just know that I preemptively hate you for this Spoeank.

Substandard posted:A first seems nuts, and the Cowboys have some WRs already who seemingly might not be garbage. Hurns wasn't terrible prior to being in Dallas, Gallup looks intriguing. Huh, I agree that Cooper is unlikely to fix a damned thing but I looked up Hurns and Gallup and they're the 8th and 10th worst in the league as far as catch% goes. Not sure if that's them or Dak (or the offensive scheme, which I'm sure doesn't help), but that seems bad. Both are sub 47%. They're also tied for 1st and 6th in least separation, so they're not getting open when thrown to either. I originally went to look that up to see where Cooper was but he's been relatively solid this year, just short of 71% on targets and up toward the top of the league in separation. I believe separation only comes into play when they actually throw the ball to you, so I can buy into Carr just completely losing faith in Cooper. None of this makes Cooper good or this trade make sense of course, but he might instantly be Dallas's second best receiver. Of course even if he is, that means he's not as good as Cole Beasley. The NFL does a lot of dumb things but I should play around with the next gen stats more, they're always pretty fun to look at when I remember they're there.

Play posted:DVOA is an extremely stupid way to measure this imo. Say you've got a really good team in a tough division, they are going to look like easy pickings even if they're not. Same goes the other way for teams that are in bad divisions. The Patriots have had one of the easiest schedules so far and their schedule will continue to be insanely easy for the rest of the season. I think the FO party line would be that opponent adjustments are theoretically supposed to take care of this. I have no real opinion here but if they worked correctly and DVOA was actually the best way to measure things it would make sense. Well I do have an opinion after thinking about it. They don't work correctly and DVOA isn't the actual best way to do this. But it's probably not the worst either.
