    It's unfortunate neither Gio nor Aaronson play the 9 #oldnews It's more unfortunate that they probably could and Berhalter has never given them (or Weah) a chance (obviously injuries have played a part in that) Like, I wouldn't be surprised to see a better attack with Gio or Weah up top rather than Sargent, even if that's not their best spot

    2 options here... 1. Some intern or whatever actually does Bret's tweeting and fired this one off without approval. 2. He tweeted it from a pretty tough place after losing his mom the other day and then losing a chance to beat a top 5 team on the road.

    Apparently Tim Weah borrowed a suit from someone in the 2003 NBA Draft

    Eh, if that Vikings corner didn't grab Davis, it's a TD. Definitely bogus no call on Kmet though.
  5. Rex Buckingham
    Tom Brady would have drawn a roughing the passer penalty there
  6. Rex Buckingham
    Incidental or not, Okudah just ran through Kmet. How is that not a penalty?

    90 was being mugged on that big play to Raymond

    It's like a replay of the Illinois - Purdue game yesterday

    By definition, there's no way that was hands to the face. Now I'm not sure if there's a rule against a throat punch, but it wasn't hands to the face. Period.

    He wasn't even out of bounds though. Morrow shoved him out, Gordon punched the ball before he was out.

    Comparing Fields stats (and Jackson, and other QBs who add significant value running the ball) to other QBs you really need to add his running and passing totals together to compare yardage. No, 154 doesn't seem like a lot of yards, but 228 in the 3rd quarter does look pretty good and adequately describes his value.

    Super. Star. Please put some talent around this man.
  13. Rex Buckingham
    it just sucks that we have the most talent we've ever had, but just nothing in terms of goal-scoring, and our back line is an injury-riddled and/or old mess Put prime Clint, McBride, Jozy, or Wynalda up top and we look drastically different. Heck, I'd settle for Clint Mathis or healthy Charlie Davies

    Horvath AND Johnson Shaq Moore Roldan Morris and Haji Wright no Pepi or Pefok
  15. Rex Buckingham
    That seems like a shocker, unless he got hurt or something crazy happened like he punched Gregg out for telling him Turner would be the starter

    It would be so incredible if Michigan slows the game down enough to beat them in Columbus. There will be many tears and couch fires a plenty off of High street. My schadenfreude would be off the charts too. Wouldn't even be all that shocking after watching last week. Northwestern ran the ball pretty well despite being Northwestern. Corum and Edwards are definitely better than Hull, and the Michigan OL is way better than NW's.

    Spurs - Milan and Dortmund - Chelsea are the ones I am most interested in/most even matchups. I think Bayern and Real are just better than PSG and Liverpool at this point. City, Napoli, and Inter should be comfortable, and I really know nothing about Benfica-Brugge other than Brugge being perceived as probably the weakest runner up.

    Champions League Draw: PSG - Bayern Liverpool - Real Madrid Dortmund - Chelsea RB Leipzig - City Milan - Spurs Inter - Porto Frankfurt - Napoli Brugge - Benfica I've got Bayern, Madrid, Chelsea, City, Milan, Inter, Napoli, and Benfica going through

    1. Georgia 2. Tennessee 3. LSU 4. Alabama Ohio State is winning the national championship game if it is played today. It wouldn't be a close game either. OSU Georgia Michigan Everyone else. I don't know that you can put anyone clearly above Georgia. I do think Ohio State (if healthy - they've had JSN out injured plenty and have had some issues at RB too) is probably the most talented team, but Georgia just wrecked Tennessee (TN offense - 3.9 yards/play, 2/14 on 3rd down) and held them to 3 field goals until a TD with 4 minutes left when the game was well in hand despite TN averaging 49 ppg coming in.

    His acceleration is unreal

    Now that we went and got a WR that should (when paired with Mooney and maybe a decent FA WR or a 3rd/4th rd pick) give us at least a solid group of WRs, maybe we get a guy at DT or EDGE (or both!) that can be a disruptor through the draft/FA and make a big difference. Jalen Carter or Will Anderson or Myles Murphy maybe in the draft if we can get some good tank losses. If we could split with Detroit (their D is so bad and Jared Goff is their QB so I would expect we manage 1 win) that would be huge.
  22. Rex Buckingham
    I think this is an underrated consideration. If Fields can dial up some good deep balls - which I do think is still a strength of his - Claypool has the size and speed to make plays. Those 3 QBs in Pittsburgh (considering Ben's late-career limitations) don't have nearly the tools that Fields has
  23. Rex Buckingham
    Not sure I love giving up a 2nd rounder (per Schefter) but it's gotta be the Ravens pick, and he sure has the tools to be good.
  24. Rex Buckingham
    With Jermaine Jones too? Play Bradley a bit further upfield and let TA and JJ wreck shop
  25. Rex Buckingham
    Surely one of these years Wainwright has to tank, right?
