Eric Reid signed a three year deal with the Panthers.

He did so while insisting his collusion case against the NFL, which stated he was being blackballed by NFL Owners, was made stronger by his signing.

Ummm... K.

it took them a long time to find the right schedule (they found it sunday, released wednesday). some very specific considerations for the 100th anniversary shtein and maximizing ratings since this is renegotiation time with the networks. billionaires need more bread. so this one was weighted much much more heavily toward tv than norma and its usually weighed toward tv

No because this stat is about shootout postseason wins, which are problematic for him. Andy is 0-2 in these 50+ Att types of games, losing against BB/Brady both times (the Super Bowl, 2015-2016 divisional round).

But in the regular season, McNabb has been the second most successful QB at this (4-1-1) after Brady. Yeah it's that disgusting Bengals tie. One of the wins was as a Skin, so Andy gets no credit.

Regular season 50+ Att under Andy:
McNabb 3-1-1 (all wins were 2005 or earlier)
Foles 1-0 (first career win)
Vick 1-0 (horrible 4-INT FG fest against the Browns)
Mahomes 1-0
Kolb 0-1 (first NFL start, blown out by Saints)
Smith 0-1

Overall stats for #1 Dad:
Regular season: 6-3-1
Postseason: 0-2

QuoteRecently fired Houston Texans general manager Brian Gaine "targeted" African American employees in a series of firings during his tenure, a former Texans security coordinator alleged in a complaint filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

Jeff Pope, who was notified he would not be retained by the team May 8, made a series of allegations in a 4,500-word charge of discrimination complaint obtained by USA TODAY Sports early Thursday morning. Gaine was fired by the Texans on Friday with little insight into the move disclosed by the team.

Post by: Diomedes on August 31, 2019, 12:25:24 PM
I don't get the two for one player deals...you don't get to keep the extra guy without cutting someone you already have...so it's more like you give up the player you trade, plus the player you cut, to get the two new players.

So to my way of thinking, this is the deal Houston got:

give up
Jadeveon Clowney 
(as yet unknown player to cut...probably an edge/OLB guy, since they're getting two of them in the trade)

get
1st round bust
6th rounder playing like a 4th rounder
3rd round pick next draft

I don't know the money situation, but they surely got some cap room as well.

I don't think Mariota is good (his accuracy ebbs and flows), but TEN was an awful spot to land. Five different OCs in five years, dogshtein offensive line, pedestrian receivers, bad head coaches, and a consistent run-first philosophy. It's easy to imagine him being surprisingly competent on another team.

Meanwhile you look at Jameis who has just about everything around him that a QB needs, but still has games where he's turning the ball over 6 times.

It takes away from the enjoyment. They are over officiating it like crazy. And their fragile egos are hurt by the reviews so they refuse to reverse blatant calls they need to be reversed.

If they want to be flag happy they need to do away with PI as a spot foul. They also need to change the defensive penalties like hands to the face to avoid giving automatic first downs.
Title: Re: Around the NFL - 2019
Post by: SD on October 29, 2019, 11:05:01 AM
It went from a slow steady downhill to a deep dive once they started the defensive holding in the secondary rule. A minor grab shouldn't warrant an automatic 1st down. They also need to ease up on PI's, unless the defender is blatantly interfering minor bumps and arms in places shouldn't be called.

Also the roughing the passer calls are laughable

Is an aircraft carrier big enough for a full size field?

Giant floating stadium airship. Everyone has to take a hot air balloon up to it. Let it float across the country.

Yes, but there probably wouldn't be enough sideline space for it to be workable.

Floating airship is totally reasonable though.

if the nflpa agrees, the 17 game schedule and 14 team playoff would begin NEXT season

looks like the league is giving a bunch of stuff back to get this done. players were dead set against 17, then their agents walked them through the $$$ and now theyre like, hmmmmm

what does 17 game schedule mean, 18 weeks and a bye or no bye weeks?  and how would you even do an odd number of games when it comes to home/away?

At least one bye. How they handle home/away is presumably up for negotiation; I've read the league would ideally want one game played out-of-market for both teams to try to grow the overall league popularity. Could be a tire fire if they don't handle it right.

The news sites are reporting 2021 at the earliest for the 17 game season, not sure where little guy is getting next season.

The worst part from a fan perspective is the extra playoff game, and of course that's the part the NFL wants to implement immediately.

Quote• If there is an agreement in place before the new league year in March, the new deal would take effect immediately for the 2020 season, bumping up the players' share of revenues immediately under a 16-game format.

this is what im basing it off. maybe the 17 gamer is illogical on this short notice. 7 playoff teams per conference def. isnt.

what would happen is 1 extra bye week and 1 neutral site game. think more european cities, mexico, brazil, perhaps tokyo. theres north american places that could host too, like canton or toronto. maybe they stick a game in vegas because why not.

the biggest thing this does is draw out the season by 2 more weeks so there is less terrible sports downtime. february sucks and now itll be all nfl playoffs.

the playoff expansion is more or less ok. 7/16 is a better than the nba and nhl and 0 people complain about 8 teams making it in that. plus, i really like the elimination of the 2 seed bye. only 1 seed should get it.

the 2-7 games are mostly going to be snoozers. every once in a while youll get a good one. this year, gb-la wouldve been good. kc-pit would not. but heres the team from 1-11 on saturday and sunday on wc weekend - playoff football. complain away.

monday is possible and has been discussed. it would hamstring the divisional schedule a bit because the winner would have to then play sunday. espn would prefer a mnf wc game to what they have now on saturday. my guess would be, if its done, it would be done with the new tv deal. but id bet against it because theres too many variables at play in terms of hurting ratings maximization.

this is neither here nor there but the adding a team is pathetic...especially in a league with only 16 games...

you are now going to have years that have playoff races with 5-8 teams

but quality of play or whats right for the sport has never been an issue with the nfl....its all about the shield....they could put every team in the league in the playoffs and not lose a single viewer...it truly is the trump of sports leagues in many more ways than one

Exactly.  CBS paid a billion to broadcast the games but paying $17M to the best analyst in the business is somehow shocking.

Paying a $50M golden parachute to a CEO of a bankrupt corporation is morally repugnant.  This is a simple case of extremely limited supply meeting demand.

You're comparing apples and oranges. 

Romo is the best at his craft (analyzing football games on television).  Because he's the best he deserves to be paid the most.  It's meritocracy at its essence, Dio.

That's not to say players don't deserve more.  They do.  And the best at their positions deserve the most as well.

If you're the world's best brick layer or watch maker, well, same applies.  If you deem one activity to be less deserving than another, that's your right.  But I won't begrudge Romo from getting his even if he is a POS ex-Cowboy.

announcers account 0% for ratings. its all about matchup, game quality and external factors that keep people in the house (like cold weather). the game gets the exact same number if its nantz/romo or nantz/hentz.

romo got 17 bones because of a combination cbs' ego, peyton mannings cold feet and cbs' desire to remain in the good graces of the nfl. having a top tier announcer team goes a long way to keeping the league happy and getting big games assigned. espn will not be getting in the super bowl rotation with tess/booger. this is why they wanted romo and still want manning.

What's more, they add Campbell immediately after applying the non-exclusive tag to Judon, giving them way more security at the position and greatly improving their leverage with Judon.  Any team that wanted Judon before today now has less reason to offer a poison-pill contract because the Ravens have less need to match it.  Whatever happens, whoever he plays for, the move means less money for him.

He was actually really good last year, and even if he is mediocre going forward, that's better than what Titans fans have been used to since Steve McNair was still alive and banging a crazy lady. 10% of your cap under a freshly minted CBA for what's likely to be a couple years of basic QB competence is not a bad deal.
