2022-2023 NFL Season

[Spotcheck Billy]

They're going to have to announce something today right?

They have to wait for their lawyers to chart their course first.

Harbaugh says he's staying at Michigan ... I think?

What a bizarre statement.

[PGsHeroes32]

Yeah that statement is basically equivalent to the ones that GMs/Owners give about coaches people want fired as a voice of confidence.

Hes here for now. But when those jobs truly open up at seasons end, hes more than open to be wowed.

[Uncle Rico]

What a bizarre statement.

It's what he's always said.  FWIW, he finally has an agent and given the rising salaries for coaches in the Big Ten and the fact he took a pay cut after 2020 and well, a picture emerges

Yea, I mean, I don't entirely blame him.  There are 2 coaches in his own conference making more than $2MM a season than he does, and they both happen to be his arch rivals that he soundly THUMPED this year.  And one is Mel Tucker who got an absurd contract in no small part to beating Michigan last year.

He absorbed all the criticism from 2017-2020, and created a beast.  in 15 seasons before Harbaugh, Michigan had 4 10 win seasons, Harbaugh now has 5.  They had 2 11 win seasons in 20 years.  He's had them back to back. 

Let him angle for the cash, he deserves it.

I do not disagree

This seems complex but will make sense by Sunday I guess.

Probably about the fairest thing you could do.

I really wonder if the NFL can get 24 owners to vote "yes" tomorrow. Bengals are already on record as a "no" vote for tomorrow. I can't see the Rooney's, Hunt's, Mara's, McCaskey's as "yes" votes, but who knows.

That was a direct quote from the UC hospital press conference. That was the Doctor's response to Hamlin. Garafolo is summarizing the press conference given by the doctors, and that was the beginning.

I would guess this has been pretty well vetted. And the obvious response for me would be...what's the alternative?  The NFL is making the best out of a pretty terrible situation here.

[MU82]

Bizarro World:

The top three QBs in passer rating the last 6 weeks: Jared Goff, Brock Purdy and Sam Darnold.

A guy who was considered expendable; Mr. Irrelevant; and arguably the worst QB in the NFL the previous 4 years.

[JWags85]

Rumors that McDaniel could be out in Miami if they don't make the playoffs, presumably cause Ross wants to target Sean Payton and Brady.

Now I don't expect anything smart from Ross and see why someone wants Payton, but I can't imagine the infatuation with a 46 year old Brady enough to upset the apple cart. 

The only QB criteria that Brady ranks in the top 10 in is yards and completions...because he has 50 more attempts than second on the list and 100 more attempts than someone like Mahomes who is 4th in attempts.  5th in attempts is Burrow and he's 150 attempts lower than Brady.

Brady's rating is barely top 20, right next to Heinecke, and his QBR is lower than guys like Carr and Mariota who got benched.  And interesting for a team with Waddle and Hill, Brady's yards per attempt and yards per completion are in the bottom 3 in the league.  He's not the guy to get the ball to guys stretching the field.  Its not 2012 anymore

I understand what he's doing. I'm telling you the NFL is going to market the crap out of a player who loves the game so much that his first words after almost dying on the field is around whether the Bills won. #footballfamily

I nominate Jim Jordan to decide the outcome

Which would be funny, because I read that the docs' response and releasing that info as a direct shot across the bow against that kind of thing.

I dislike Brady as well, but the WR situation in Miami is much better than it is in Tampa.

Much better?  I don't know about that.  Mike Evans has been a 1000 yard reciever every year he's been in the league and been a top 10 TD reception guy the last 4-5 years.  He had 1500 yards with f-ing Jameis before Brady arrived.  And Godwin is a top 5 2nd WR.  The only teams with comparable WR pairs over the last few years are probably the Rams, now the Bengals, and the Seahawks, maybe the Chargers when Mike Williams is cooking.

The Dolphins obviously are there with Hill and Waddle.  But Cedrick Wilson is no more special than Russel Gage or Julio Jones' corpse.  And like I mentioned in my post, Hill's biggest weapon is his speed and I don't see Brady having the arm to be throwing 35-40 yard dimes with regularity when he springs free.  You can only hit so many cross routes with him when there is no threat of him getting behind you.

Get ready for the playoffs to change permanently, perhaps as early as next year.

They're going to go to 8 teams in each conference (more inventory = more cash), and the conference title games are going to be played as stand alone games on different days, at neutral sites (Vegas will 100% be in the rotation).
