    TB trying to blow an 11 point lead with 8 minutes against Carolina.
  2. Tryptamine
    Arizona up 24-3 on Pittsburgh with 8 minutes to go. Pending an epic Chicago style collapse, they'll go to 3-10 effectively 3 games ahead of Carolina who would own the tie breaker due to SOS. This realistically leaves New England as the only other team who has a chance at #1.
  3. Tryptamine
    As much as it would suck for the Cubs to miss all off Ohtani, Yamamoto and Soto, the melt down in New York, especially amongst the Met fans would be epic perhaps beyond anything we've seen from a fan base.

    I should have specified the defense only. They go out and give up 6 points to a good offense and they lose. That has to be so deflating. Also, I'd rather the Pats stay in QB hell for a while longer than ending up with Maye or Williams after only a couple years of suffering.
  5. Tryptamine
    I feel bad for the Pats. They're just like the Jets. A really good defense, but their QB situation is completely awful.
  6. Tryptamine
    Games of importance Patriots(2-10) lost to the Chargers(5-7) Arizona(2-10) up 17-3 on Pittsburgh(7-4) Jets(4-8) lost to Atlanta(6-6) Titans(4-8) lost to Colts(7-5) Only chance the Bears have for any help from the AM games is for Arizona to hold on.
  7. Tryptamine
    Well this is nice to hear. It's the first time I've seen them mentioned as anything more than a passive possibility.
  8. Tryptamine
    There is a lot of terrible QBs making starts in the NFL right now. Just in the AM games you have Bailey Zappe, Desmond Ridder, Gardner Minshew and Tim Boyle. I'm tempted to add Kyler Murray, but at least at one point he wasn't terrible.
  9. Tryptamine
    Traditionally I'd agree, but when you're dealing with an owner who paid 100M to send Scherzer+Verlander to other teams last year, who knows what's going on in their head.

    If anyone wants to trust a metsrefugee insider, supposedly the Mets told Ohtani's camp to bring them their best received offer after these meetings and they'd top it. I have severe doubts, but with pockets as deep as their's, it's not impossible.
  11. Tryptamine
    How was KC dumb enough to trade him? Pending his health, he's going to go down as a top 5 all time receiver.
  12. Tryptamine
    I still refuse to believe Arizona is going to pass on either Maye/Williams just because they have Murray. Kyler kind of sucks,
  13. Tryptamine
    CJ Stroud with 149 passing yards at the end of the 1st quarter.
  14. Tryptamine
    This is why I have never cared about College football. It's absurd that a major conference team can go undefeated and still have zero chance to be a national champion.
  15. Tryptamine
    The NFC South is hilariously awful.

    For me it's kind of like this McCarthy: I think he's a career backup. He has a NFL quality arm. He can occasionally hit the big throw, but he's just so bland and boring the vast majority of the time. Penix: He's got an arm and he's going to flash, but I think he's going he's going to be constantly up and down given his mechanics/decision making. The upside is really high though. Maye: Highest upside in the draft as a pocket passer. He's got the arm, he can make all the throws, but because of that he makes a lot of throw he probably shouldn't. Decision making is his fatal flaw. Williams: Highest overall upside. He can play as a pocket QB or create on his own while scrambling out of the pocket. The problem is he takes it too far and tries to do too much and in the NFL that's going to lead to a lot of turnovers. Nix: I don't think there's a real high ceiling here, but I think he's a pretty safe pick, as far as QBs go, to be a roughly league average QB. He has a solid arm, and good decision making. Beck: Super accurate, good with the reads, but the arm isn't NFL caliber. He's the kind of guy who carves out a decade long career as a backup. Haven't seen enough of Sanders or Daniels to have an opinion.

    Dallas went on a 30-0 run in last night's game and still managed to lose. Also Doncic had an absolutely monster line of 36pts 15reb 18asst.
  18. Tryptamine
    I'd say the same of Yamamoto. Of the real big fish, it's looking like Ohtani or nothing.
  19. Tryptamine
    Yeah, I'm not at all interested in Penix in the draft. There's at least 5 QBs I'd have in front of him, possibly 6.
  20. Tryptamine
    I know he isn't your type of guy, but I'd quite like to take a chance on Tyler Freeman. The hit tool is plus, but the power is Madrigal like. Unlike Madrigal, I think there 10-15HR pop that can be unlocked.
  21. Tryptamine
    So TB is supposedly shopping Randy Arozarena. He has 3 years of arb control left. There isn't an immediate match with the Cubs, but I wonder if he could split time at 1B/DH. https://dodgersnation.com/rays-reportedly-shopping-randy-arozarena-should-dodgers-pursue-a-trade-tm1995/2023/11/29/

    If there is any validity to this, then there is no way a Soto deal gets done without SD drastically lowering their ask.
  23. Tryptamine
    I read that a day or two ago. Other teams want Derozan and Caruso, but not so much Zach despite the Bulls wanting Zach to be the one moved first.
  24. Tryptamine
    I wont get angry, but I'll expect them to have a very strong plan B to make up for it. If they come limping to the gate with a bunch of third tier FA, then I'll be mad.
  25. Tryptamine
    Watch, it's going to be something considerably more than it should be going back like Caissie.
