    Id have sacked Garrett 5 years ago. Josh McDaniels should coach them, they'd probably make a good fit.

    Antonio Brown is not well. Antonio Brown is out of a job. Antonio Brown... is a lyrical genius. He somehow, through wizardry, found a way to tell the world in his own unique way, how rich he is in a multitude of ways in his 2 minute video.

    1. Tell the world you're rich. Check. Say "I got a whole lotta money" 27 times in your song.

    2. Show the world you're rich. Check. Put LOTS of cash on multiple tables ALL over a big ass house.

    3. Imply how rich you are. Check. Have countless mostly naked women count said money in your big ass house while wearing ski masks.

    The ultimate irony of course is that AB not only HAS a whole lotta money, he LOST a whole lotta money to the tune of 40 million dollars in a dramatic fashion that only... ONLY a creative genius could achieve.

    Get this man a Grammy. Barstool Sports..

    This Connecticut native and two-time Maine resident has 200% intense deep-rooted hatred for anything Patriots. (THANK YOU TENNESSEE!! :D) I'm indifferent with the Giants and don't give a crap about the Just-End-The-Season Jets. I've been a Miami Dolphins fan for 36 years or so. My brother is a die-hard Seattle Seahawks fan.

    This weekend, I will root for Seattle over Green Bay, Minnesota over San Francisco (but think S.F. will win) and Kansas City over Houston. The tough one is Tennessee at Baltimore. I'm happy that former Dolphin #17 Ryan Tannehill just upset New England. But how can they pull the upset again?

    Super Bowl LIV, based on who's left? Perhaps Seattle vs Baltimore. We haven't had that matchup before. A rematch of XLVII is possible (Baltimore vs San Francisco, which had the power outage in New Orleans).

    Brady's still got gas in the tank.

    Brady is past prime, but still playing good football. It's just that he can't win games by himself.

    I think it shows the team Brady had around him rather than Brady himself.

    It was kind of like when Manning went to the Broncos. To make him successful they needed the parts around him. Julias Thomas was a good reviving target out at TE and the Broncos brought in top receivers for Manning. But most importantly they went hard to get Manning's ex WR from the colts. The little short white guy I can't remember his name atm. He was crucial because Manning knew him so well. I remember one play Manning kind threw it to him when he wasn't looking because Manning knew when he'd make the cut and how he positioned himself to catch the ball, so he threw the ball quickly to the right at nobody but knowing he'd be there to catch it. Wes Welker! That's the name and I specifically remember the announcer saying "and this is EXACTLY why the Broncos brought over Welker".

    Some people think just cause you get a top QB or a top WR that things will happen but that's not the case initially if your QB/WR combo don't really know each other. Sometimes a QB needs to understand what the WR is going to do and the WR needs to understand where and how the QB delivers the ball.

    I think Manning and Brady were so successful because they weren't bounced around the league. This way they were able to maintain a tight kinship with their players.

    I'm not saying Brady isn't good, far from it but he's had the pleasure of being with the same team.

    That's what annoyed me lately with the Broncos. 7 QBs in a couple of years, and they keep letting them go. Sure Flacco might not have been the answer but they gave him less than a year to work out how his receivers worked.

    I'm no historian but I doubt the Ravens won their superbowl with Flacco throwing to guys he didn't know.
     
  12. I'm not going to disrespect Tom Brady.. He won six Superbowls...I just appreciate that New Orleans traded their backup quarterback to us.

    Welker wasn't with the colts though. He started with the Chargers, then Miami, then spent most of his career with the Pats.

    The principle of receivers being on the same page as the qb is solid though.

    Maybe it wasn't Welker then.
    It was someone though because the commentators said "they've been doing that play for years".

    Maybe it could be about the play itself, rather than doing that play together?

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    After leaving New England Wes Welker did spend two years in Denver before finishing up his career with the STL Rams but he never played for the Colts.


    Can’t think of any little white guys who Manning passed to in Indianapolis........hmmmmm
