    2022-2023 NFL Season

    On the lighter side of things, I've been in Memphis for a couple of days so I went to Graceland. Elvis has three TVs in his basement because he loved watching football so much. Judging by the color scheme and lightning bolt Id say he might have been a Chargers fan.

    2022-2023 NFL Season

    I really enjoyed Sunday Ticket for the few years I received it free from my work, but I didn't really miss it that much last year. The two teams I follow are Tennessee and L.A. and I was able to watch all of their games with NFL+ for $10/month. I didn't get to see them live, but they were...

    2022-2023 NFL Season

    I would think a ppv Superbowl would have a drastically reduced audience, meaning they would have to lower the cost of a Superbowl ad. If networks don't make their revenue then TV contracts will be less as well. I don't think they can make up the difference with one PPV game.

    2022-2023 NFL Season

    I thought Tony Romo had potential his first two seasons, he had knowledge and enthusiasm, and his ability to predict plays was pretty cool. But instead of honing his craft he seems to have let the early accolades go to his head and has gotten steadily worse. He got his big payday and now...

    Something's not right, that list has them playing the Raiders only once.

    2022-2023 NFL Season

    Should be interesting. While everyone was blaming Wilson for all of their woes, Troy Aikman made the observation that, yes, Wilson has lost a step or two, but he didn't think the receivers were running good, precise routes, and a few other small observations that indicated to him that the team...

    But it was called on Burrows just a few minutes earlier and at least he had a running back close to where the ball landed. Jim Nance even asked Steritore for clarification about if the RB was close enough.

    It was the play right before the late hit call, 2nd and 4 on KCs last possession.

    2022-2023 NFL Season

    So I just pulled up the game on the NFL+ app and rewatched 2nd and 4. Mahomes dropped straight back, stayed right between the hashmarks and threw the ball to no one. It hit in the middle of the KC logo and there was no one, not even an ineligible receiver, within five yards of the ball. So I...

    2022-2023 NFL Season

    I totally get that, but none of the announcers mentioned it, and the Cincinnati bench didn't seem too upset about it (or if they were CBS didn't show it.). That's why I asked, was Mahomes out of the pocket?

    2022-2023 NFL Season

    I watched on Paramount + so couldn't rewind, but on that last drive on second down how was that not grounding? No receiver in sight and ball didn't get back to the line of scrimmage.

    Wade Phillips was mentioned earlier. HC in Buffalo back to DC, HC in Denver, back to DC, HC in Dallas, back to DC.

    Speaking of Quinn, Dallas announced yesterday that he will remain their DC next season. Whether that is because no one wanted him as a HC or because he really likes his current position, who knows?

    2022-2023 NFL Season

    It's always fun listening to sports talk here in Dallas after a Cowboys loss, but it was especially fun today. The unanimous opinion was that it was a great game, the defense was spectacular, and Dak sucks. Everyone is blaming the loss on Dak. The two interceptions, the almost pick-six...

    2022-2023 NFL Season

    The Chargers offense was fine, when it was healthy. They had a horrible run defense most of the year. And despite the great first half against Jacksonville, they looked like they quit right before halftime. They decided they were going to force Lawrence to beat them deep, then when he...

    2022-2023 NFL Season

    I never had any issues with Brady and actually thought his going to Tampa and winning another SB was pretty cool. But when he chose another season over his family by unretiring I lost any respect I had for him as a man. It's not that I'm rooting for Tampa as much as I am against Dallas. I...

    2022-2023 NFL Season

    The defense gave up at the end of the first half. It really felt like they didn't care if Jacksonville scored a touchdown cause they thought they had the W already. Should have been a shutout at the half. And losing Palmer already down Williams really hurt. It seemed like the Jags blitzed...

    2022-2023 NFL Season

    I agree. I wasn't implying that there was a real chance of Payton landing in Dallas, I just meant that it's pointless to think Jerry would fire McCarthy because there is no obvious replacement. Jerry won't fire McCarthy without already having someone in place, and the only real name that...

    2022-2023 NFL Season

    I doubt it as well, but according to local media the thinking is that Jerry was so jealous of Payton's success with the Saints after leaving the Cowboys (he was Parcell's assistant HC and quarterbacks coach) that he'd sell his left nut to get him back as a head coach.

    2022-2023 NFL Season

    And as for the Cowboys, there is a lot of speculation about what will happen to McCarthy if they lose to Tampa but my gut is he gets fired only if Jerry is 100% certain he can land Payton. He's not going to risk a new hire and there aren't enough big names out there other than Payton and maybe...

    2022-2023 NFL Season

    I doubt Staley will be on the hot seat. They mentioned it several times during the broadcast, Staley felt momentum and playing their best was more important and they even quoted Staley as saying, "If I rest the guys and then we lose next week I'll get criticized as well." They've only been...

    I was only 10 or 11 when all that went down with Bum, so I didn't understand that side of it. I just loved the Oilers and Earl Campbell and Robert Brazile. So I remained a fan. A big part of the reason I hate the Cowboys is because when the Oilers sucked in the early 80s all of my friends...

    2022-2023 NFL Season

    There are bad owners all over the league. Schneider is pretty much universally despised. I live in Dallas and there is an odd love/hate vibe with Jerry. And Houston drove the Oilers out of town because of the Adams' family. But I love football, and as frustrating as the Spano's have been...

    2022-2023 NFL Season

    Last season Staley was over aggressive and reckless, and it cost his team down the stretch. Some of it was the analytics approach that he learned under McVay with the Rams, some of it was establishing a new team ethic and mindset, some of it was learning how to coach, and I'm sure some of it...

    Also, sorry for those who have lost loved ones around the holidays. I guess I'm fortunate. My Grandfather lived with us when I was growing up and I was very close to him. I moved from Houston to Dallas and my sister lives in Pennsylvania. One year his health took a severe turn in November...

    This season I purchased the NFL+ package from NFL.com for $10.99/mo. I'm a Chargers/Titans fan living in Texas without a live TV package. With this package I can watch whatever game the local stations are showing live on a phone or tablet, or, more importantly I can watch a replay of any game...

    2022-2023 NFL Season

    I know I'm going to sound like a hypocrite after complaining about L.A. scoring a touchdown and leaving too much time on the clock for KC, but what was Singletary thinking? It sure looked like he intentionally went down around the 4 with about 20 or 30 seconds left instead of scoring a TD. And...

    2022-2023 NFL Season

    Agreed. Going back to the Titans loss, I still don't understand the decision to kick a field goal when down by 7 in the 4th quarter on 4th and 3 at the Cincinnati 20. Worst case, you don't get it, Bengals get the ball at the 20. That's worse field position for them than a touchback after...

    Well I guess it didn't matter since they couldn't stop Cincinnati. But I still think it was the wrong call.
