No wonder the grass was awful and everyone was slipping. You can’t play football on fuckin fairway grass, grass that is meant to be loose enough to take divots from.

I flip back and forth from thinking it’s that to thinking it’s the NFL telling him to stop doing the play prediction.

The thing is, concepts don’t change that fast in the NFL.

The most successful offense in the league is the Shanahan offense. Not Kyle, but his Dad Mike. Yes, it has changed some and continues to evolve, but there are only so many approaches and strategies. It’s not so much that the game evolves, it’s more like rock paper scissors where scissors might fall out of popularity because everybody is doing rock, but then some people start doing paper to defeat rock, and all of a sudden scissors is viable again.

That’s obviously absurdly simplified and just to illustrate a point, but the NFL is more cyclical than evolutionary.

It makes me wonder, The longer your away from the game, the more homework and film study your most likely need to pull that off. Maybe we just need to resolve announcers to the recently retired, or just accept it’s a cool party trick with an expiration date.

I just want more of that year one Tony where he calls the plays ahead of time.

Trust my opinion?

Why would somebody trust an opinion? What the fuck nonsense are you on about?

What does me bringing up the half time have anything to do with anything?

Are you a bot?

LOL

My brother, I admire your faith in refs.

That turf was atrocious

Probably good for golf, not so much for NFL.

I do

From a Philly fan, KC shredded our defense. I think all you ask for is the players to decide the outcome. I don’t think it changes the inevitable, but it really shows refs are arbitrary at best on flags.

Romo went downhill and lowered his bar hard

Olson isn’t wrong, if the jersey doesn’t stretch, you don’t aren’t offering any resistance to the runner. Plus it happens on a minor level on almost every play. And Olson is an offensive player, he kind of knows what impedes his route

I have never heard of this rule where a penalty can’t be called at pivotal moments if it wasn’t called earlier in the game.

If the eagles roughed the kicker during the game winning FG attempt. The refs aren’t allowed to call it because they haven’t called one earlier in the game?

A defender with a fistful of the receiver’s jersey is called 100% of the time it is actually seen. It is a super obvious and easy call to make that doesn’t require any judgment.

They asked him, he said no, that's what's getting reported.

The purpose of the clause is to avoid a surprise trade to a team the player doesn't want. In this case, it wouldn't be a surprise and the teams are known, so sometimes players can waive it out of goodwill.

So I guess it's a "doesn't hurt to ask" thing. Though Carr was probably pretty unlikely to say yes anyways.

Mahomes got super hero drugs as a result of rehurting his ankle

Great questions.

1. The Raiders have underperform this season, and lost a fair few games by a one score margin. The blame for those losses, regardless of circumstance have been put on Carr’s shoulders. Unfairly in some instances.
2. A no trade clause is usually inserted by the players side during a negotiation. It helps them have control over their careers. You have to remember, a lot of these folks have families in school, so the idea of having to uproot them and move to the other side of the country is extremely stressful.
3. Teams gain literally nothing from a no trade clause. In fact, it’s rather rough for their forward looking potential. They’ve effectively lost all leverage.

It does helo. But i think there are nore questions now. For instance, In what way has he been thrown under the bus? I've also seen that he has a ni-trade clause in his contract, so what would rhe team gain by even attempting this? Did they break contract to force this? Buy it out?

So if he has a no-trade clause in his contract why is the team even trying this? Are they ignoring/breaking the contract to trade? Are they buying it out?
