  1. Makes no sense to me. Being Andy's right hand man is not being in the shadow, or we would not be talking about him so much and the cameras would not be showing him and his face throughout the games. Bienemy has a very high profile, and I don't think he wants to move unless he can create his own shadow as a head coach. He needs to be a HC or he is just willing to be a right hand man under someone else. Why would he do that? Does he have a huge family that lives in D.C?
  2. My guess is that the" insider" doesn't know shit and is just looking for something to write during superbowl week. Why would Bienemy leave a great franchise to go to a bad one just to be in the same position he is in now? And the article says that is coming from the current OC, not the HC or owner or GM. Here is who the "insider" is: Ian Rapoport is an American sportswriter, pundit, and television analyst who primarily covers the National Football League (NFL). Career [ edit] Rapoport started his career for the Jackson Clarion-Ledger in 2004 covering the Mississippi State Bulldogs. He moved on to The Birmingham News in 2006 to cover the Alabama Crimson Tide. Why would anyone want to know what that guy "believes?" They might as well create news out of what I "believe."
  3. It takes prolonged exposure to THE HAT to develop remarkable qualities.
  4. No shit? That makes me wise, right? NOT! Hope you get to be 75 some day. Better to be lucky than good, though. Seriously, if it were better to be good, I'd be dead already.
  5. That's when I was there. 65-69. I played in the New Orleans Saints Jazz Band for the Saints games in 66 and 67. They were gawdawful then, except for the QB, Archie Manning. Oh, wait! I forgot. It was Billy Kilmer, not Manning. A crazy place in a crazy time. That's how I got so demented. Of course I don't think Mardi Gras has changed. That guy in front is stone cold sober compared to most of them.
  6. I love the show, but yes, too long. I have to say, though, that I loved that wrestling match stuff which was deep into the show. That story about Travis being asked to clean the mat of sweat and pimple juice and all the zits that Jason had in middle school was hysterical.
  7. Pretty much the same thing. Those multiple sacks early shocked the hell out of them. Wild man defense on a dry field. They just weren't psychologically prepared for what happened.
  8. He's right. I take it all back. Nevermind.
  9. I also think that the Bengals did not fully appreciate what Mahomes can do from the pocket without his usual magical improvisation and throwing on the run. The mindset was off for the Bengals on both D and O. Also the Bengals trash talk hurt them. I had no idea how much that actually motivates a team until I heard Jason and Travis talk about it on their podcast.
  10. I posted this in another thread before the Bengals game, and though I post a lot of dumb things, I think even more now that this is true: The Bengals played against a Buffalo defense on a snowy, wet field with poor traction. In football, it is known that that hurts defenses more than offenses. Defensive lineman cannot get that initial burst that makes all the difference due to their weight and the poor traction. I believe that the Bengals offense got overconfident because of that game and were not ready for what people like Jones and the rest of the line and what Gay and Bolton and the secondary could do on a dry field. The Bengals offense was just not quite ready because the weather made it all seem so easy for them the previous week. They thought more highly of themselves than they should have.
  11. Hey! NOLA was my home for 4 years, and it was a total hoot. Of course, I was in college and playing music down there. Different kind of place for sure.
  12. They might use it on a QB prospect who needs some development and seasoning. That would be best if Payton is the HC.
  13. THE HAT cannot be spelled except in capital letters. You know that. THE HAT is all powerful. The Hat is merely something that goes on your head.....or your lap depending on what you or your components are doing.
  14. Wylie should be a backup guard. That situation needs to be addressed first. Wylie has the experience now to be an emergency OT for a game or two, as long as he has help when he is in there. Talking about the O-line, Veach will need to build up the cap space to give a major contract to Creed Humphrey when his first contract ends. We can't let what happened to Mitch Morse ever happen again.
  15. I was shocked at the trade of Hill, but I also remember last year being very concerned that Mahomes was missing wide open guys, because he was getting tunnel-visioned and looking only for Hill and Kelce all the time, just because they are both so spectacular. When they were covered, Mahomes just looked clueless and forced the ball into coverage. Mahomes processes things so quickly and sees so well, but he was not really applying those skills, and it cost him. I didn't notice him miss seeing open guys nearly as much this year. It pushed him to a new level without Hill. He also became a much better pocket passer, statistically the best in the NFL in the pocket. All of that was at the "expense" of gaining multiple draft picks that Veach turned mostly turned into magic. But I hadn't really thought about how it was simultaneously killing the rest of the AFC West until you mentioned it. The other teams are doing what we kept trying to do for so long before the Reid era. Trying to overcome Manning and Rivers, Elway, etc. We were always destroying our cap space and searching for the great expensive aging free agent who was going to put us over the top while destroying the future. Finally, we have an organization that is doing it the right way. It's how the Patriots did it for so long with Brady and Bellichik.
  16. Sure. That's exactly what I predicted. Would I kid you? But I cheated. THE HAT told me the night before.
  17. I was shocked, too. But there was no one left uninjured, so it shouldn't have been surprising. His traits are perfect for punt returns according to the coaches, but he never did it in college, so they have been training him all year. I have a feeling he will do this for a long time and get better and better. To give him that assignment in the most important game of the whole season (so far) and be successful will really be a big boost for his confidence.
  18. It's easy to explain. Bigger cities have bigger newspapers serving larger populations. So, they make more money than sports reporters and analysts from smaller cities, and they keep their jobs by feeding their audience what they want to hear or read. It will always be that way. Buffalo is still in New York state, and the overall audience is gigantic. There is no salary cap for sports reporters, so "parity" does not exist in sports journalism. Remember, it is all about money in this country. Always was. Always will be. Objectivity is a DISTANT second place. That's why.
  19. I noticed that Pacheco is being taught well how to play pass pro. Look at this help he gave Wiley to stop Hubbard from getting to Mahomes on the TD to MVS. If it hadn't been for Pacheco, Mahomes would have been hit before he could throw.
