Who is your guy?

Quinn I think but with a QB whisperer OC.

EDIT. Fuck it I’ve thought about it. They’ve had no luck with defensive guys. Give it to O’Connell.

Yeah I think I alluded to something like that alright. Even at this juncture Brady is what has come between the Chiefs and probably a 4th consecutive superbowl win. The Chiefs have been that good that they should be a dynasty in much the same way the Patriots were but Brady was so clutch that it has not materialised that way. People can allude to the defenses he has played with but he still needs to go out and make the throws. There’s all other intangibles as well like his leadership skills, players wanting to play with him and also the sense of dread and fear he puts into other teams when losses become wins and wins become losses (TM Scott Hanson). The unlikeliest of comebacks become probable only because he has paved the way for them so many times before and everyone can almost visualise it happening for them/to them. He is unquestionably the greatest. Maybe of any sport. His dedication to his craft, will to win and intelligence is what sets him apart. But one of the most underrated parts of his game is his bravery. With 2 of the best pass rushers mowing him down last night he didn’t curl up but kept slinging it. At 44 it should be a source of inspiration and not envy.

I was thinking last night with them 14 points down in the 4th quarter that if anyone can do it, it was him, and he did. Now he had a lot of help from his defense (and a Rams clusterfuck) but you just know it’s coming.

Ben Mcadoo is the new OC in Carolina. I am starting to think that Matt Rhule isn’t the head coach I thought he was this time last year

Lovely throwaway cut at the QB in Green Bay

Lombardi (on the GM Shuffle – cc @RaymondCrotty ) really questioned why the Bills didn’t go for a squib kick on the kickoff, that could’ve chewed another few seconds off the clock. In true aftertiming, I asked the same question aloud whilst watching the game.

I’m not sure Buffalo were guarding the sidelines Trav, but good hustle.

Gronk surely goes if Tom says he’s done

RaymondCrotty · January 25, 2022, 11:38am

I listened to this @Chucks_Nwoko. Is a squib kick a kick that is essentially a daisy cutter? Why would this have consumed more time than a regular kick off that did not go dead? Does the time that the ball is in the air not count? A most enjoyable listen by the way so thank you. Yours in ignorance.

Chucks_Nwoko · January 25, 2022, 11:42am

Correct, time doesn’t start ticking until ball is caught. By kicking it out KC start on the 25 yard line with no time consumed by kick-off. A daisy cutter forces them to catch because the kicking team could ground it closer to the goalline, pushing KC back towards their own endzone.

Blake · January 25, 2022, 11:51am

It would be a live ball, assuming it goes 10 yards, so the kicking team would get possession if they downed it. Even more of an imperative on KC to touch it and loose a few seconds.

A sizable portion of the LA population follow the Raiders or 49ers I was reading recently.
The Rams and Chargers will never be the Lakers or Dodgers
