Dark green instead of black would have been an awesome look.

He's probably far better than any QB they have, so.....

I'd put the CFL's US expansion much higher-maybe above the UFL. (Baltimore's performance should be seen as a boost here.)

The state of Arkansas is apparently supposed to waste a bunch of taxpayer money renovating War Memorial under the most recent extension with the Razorbacks though.

Ehh...he was slipping over the line a little in the Super Bowl thread. I'd say a week seems right as a warning shot.

I don't trust Goff either. Here's the thing though. Goff still got them to the Super Bowl. If, organizationally, the Rams decide that Goff is not the way forward, that frees up a lot of hypothetical cap space for them to hold stuff together since his replacement will almost certainly start under a rookie deal.

Crusader Kings 2 meets the NFL.

Maybe it dies when Bob Kraft dies and his congenital idiot of a son takes over.

Nobody buried them.

Witten on the other hand needs to hurry up and have that fatal accident where he electrocutes himself in the bathtub already.

One other thing I'll point out for the Rams O. The Rams D had a fantastic night, but usually gave up a first down or two a drive, and that hurts you in other ways. Rams starting field position was awful most of the night, which does not help the offense get on track.

Gurley did about as well as Anderson did tonight, so (ASCII shrug). Some times you can't just find an edge when you are limited at the QB position to begin with, especially with Kupp out for the year. Brady would have been ed without Edelman tonight, and Kupp fills a similar role in the Rams offense. Anyway, yes he turned into late-career Bulger when confronted with a challenge. Which is to be expected when you weren't that good to begin with.

Counterargument: Jared Goff isn't that good a QB, and rookie Goff is really close to the reality for him (which means McVay is something of a miracle worker.) And before you say the Rams painstakingly chose to trade up to draft him, I will suggest the thought process went no further than "most prolific Pac-12 California QB in that draft class."

Vince Lombardi is RIGHT THERE. Now, they only had to get through 12-16 teams, so it was easier

Assuming Brady doesn't screw up the QB succession again, Belichick will outlast him by ~3 years. Anyway, congrats to the Patriots. This game was clearly a testament to Belichick's skill. Now stop that "everyone counted us out" bull No one is going to count you out until the head has been shotgunned off, a wooden stake has been plunged in the heart, and the remains slashed with a Valyrian steel sword, then incinerated, doused with lye, then incinerated again and lain dormant for a few years.
