Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Enki_Amenra]

Incredible Hulk and Dukes Of Hazard were the bomb on Friday nights..Couldn’t wait to see David Banner turn green and then watch Bo and Luke!!

You must've liked "The Greatest American Hero"?

NBA and NFL definitely rigged, but I’m not going to go back and forth over something dumb

We all have our own opinion. You are 10000000% correct about big markets.

But why would the NFL want the Chiefs to be a dynasty?

The NFL was like "ok we know this Texas Tech QB is about to be great, let's hand him a dynasty....in Kansas City Missouri"

Last episode of the Agent at 11pm. Good show. Michael Fassbender is a good actor. Great in Prometheus and the Killer. Both good movies that he carries.

Really enjoyed it so far. Couple episodes behind. Is this the SERIES finale? Would think the star power would be difficult to retain.

Wonder where Trey signs in free agency?

Chiefs find a way to re-sign Trey.

 

[butchna]

Bills would be a FG ahead if they had simply kicked their extra points.

Long way from their beat writer who penned the article before the season saying he was the least important OL.

Damm*t (no cuss Sundays), you’re gif beat mine . I’ll not forget this slight.

The fact you posted a gif is pretty dang impressive!

Kelce may have T.Swift, but Josh Allen wins that battle with his celeb GF. Hailee Steinfeld more attractive than T. Swift.

No doubt. Far less likely to be a narcissist/psychopath also. Haven't seen Hailee mock God or Christians either like Swift. Allen definitely wins IMO.

Well I was going to say the team where Trey lives but we know the reaction on that would be..

The Taylor swift thing changed that. Chiefs are probably the top team in views now. They weren't getting these calls 3 years ago.

I never liked that show

Pat Mahomes avg depth per target this year is 6.8 yards. Dump off after dump off

For reference, Peyton’s final year when he could hardly throw the ball to the line of scrimmage, his ADPT was also 6.8

The Super Bowl the people wanted: Commanders v Bills
The Super Bowl we got: Eagles v Chiefs

The better teams won

It's not dump offs mostly. Andy Reid is a genius at getting those 5 ish yard routes wide open. They don't check down any more than anyone else.

He threw for 50 TD’s in his first full season and lost to Brady in OT in the AFC Championship. It was clear he was going to be really good at a minimum.

Beat the Texans and Titans (small market teams) the next year to get to the Super Bowl and beat SF. It all started.

Please note that NFL rosters are subject to change due to trades, injuries, and other transactions. For the most current information, it's advisable to consult official team rosters or the University of Tennessee's athletics department.

10 of those 26 players were on the 2015 and 2016 Vols teams.

Butch Jones only won 9 games with a team that had 10 players who have lasted 7+ years in the NFL. Ridiculous to think about.

Best health advice? Stay away from doctors as much as possible. If you do go see a primary here is a great way to find out if you are seeing a good one. First, ask them if they still believe that saturated fat causes heart disease. If they say yes, find another doctor. Ask them if high cholesterol causes heart disease. They say yes? Find a new doctor. Lastly, if you do have something wrong with you and that doctor recommends drugs instead of dietary change as first line therapy, find a new doctor.

I went down a wormhole on cholesterol meds and Alzheimer's disease. Apparently the brain needs cholesterol. Mine hit a high of 296 with borderline high BP. My Dr was dying to put me on meds. I got it down to 203 with diet and exercise. Also got my BP down. No meds. I'm 53 and get a physical every year. I do everything I can to avoid meds. All I take now is Zyrtec or Claritin.

Wrong

I don't see it. I see wide wide open guys 5 yards down the field almost every play. I've watched almost every chiefs game since I'm in their TV market. I don't see a lot of check downs.

I hear you should stay away from margarine. . .

I used to kind of pull for the Chiefs. Big Andy Reid fan. I actually tweetered a prediction they'd draft Mahomes because I thought he was Brett Favre-ish. Liked Mahomes and Kelce early in their careers.

Now they're NFL's protected team. Mahomes is a baby. Kelce is obnoxious on the field. If he'd play with some class (cut out the gloating, taunting, etc) it would still be easy to cheer for him. Literally remove Swift from the equation and they'd feel the same to me (I actually don't hate TS).

Just no longer feels like good football instead its just show biz. Feels like watching Brady abd the Pats.

It’s worse than Brady and the Pats

True. I don't think I've ever seen her at a game. Maybe she likes to keep a low profile when she's there.
