    Tell the Truth Monday- New Orleans Saints Edition

    Those white circles on the right hand side of the field on that chart cause me sorrow. Not so much a criticism of a rookie quarterback, but if even one of those is complete it's a very different game. All quarterbacks miss some deep shots, but it feels like there have been more misses than...

    Official Game Thread - Week 15 - Commanders @ Saints

    Just finished watching (always behind on a Sunday but this week was worse than usual). Fuming about this one, but at least it was a win. I'd far rather be angry about a victory than a loss. I'll leave it there.

    2024/2025 Playoff Standings

    Would still have preferred a 49ers win as the Rams would be more likely to get to 10-7. Still plenty of football to play and many variables, but going 4-0 or 3-1 over the stretch is the best way to ensure a playoff place.

    Do We Rest The Starters vs Dallas

    I don't know about that, but my researchings have identified strength and/or conditioning as evidence of why BGO still stands where other fora have fallen.

    Do We Rest The Starters vs Dallas

    A Lombardi is a solid hunk o'metal. Ain't nobody lifting that who ain't done 200.

    Do We Rest The Starters vs Dallas

    Hmm. I am not sure of the tangible benefits of such strategy. What, prithee tell, would be the overall impact to: 1. Strength 2. Conditioning ?

    Thank you Josh Harris and organizational stability

    I'm none of those three, but when I do drink I'm a relative lightweight compared to my peers. If I ever find out where he lives, I shall do my very best!

    Do We Strategically Lose To The Eagles in December with the aim of conquest in January?

    So the more I think about this, the more I see the logic. Take, for example, Detroit and Atlanta vs the Redskins in '91. Both played dead in the regular season, then brought their A games in the playoffs. The result? 14 and 22 point swings in their favour.

    Do We Strategically Lose To The Eagles in December with the aim of conquest in January?

    No. Not even worthy of consideration. At this point they have to play to win every game in order to have full control of destiny. There is no guarantee they will make the playoffs. You don't beat a team by tricking them into thinking you're not as good as you are. You beat them by outplayed...

    Austin Ekeler to IR: Who picks up the slack?

    It was quite a treat to watch, wasn't it? Yet, although we were treated to a masterclass on the ground, Jayden was called on to pass plenty of times with a much better balance. Third quarter slump aside, this was a significant improvement.

    Next Day Thread: What Was That? (Dallas Edition)

    Interesting perspective, definite difference from the common narrative. So how, in your opinion, can Kliff adapt the scheme within the limitations of the personnel to get the offense in gear again? Or is this it - the scheme is what it is, it makes the most of the limitations and success will...

    A play by play analysis of our offensive struggle yesterday

    Thanks for the breakdown. First down runs are becoming predictable, especially on the first play of the first drive. Teams are successfully stopping the run and taking away the quick passing game. It worked when the offense was on fire earlier in the season, but it has gone stale through the...

    Tell the Truth Monday- Dallas Edition

    That's my point: 10-7  might get you into the playoffs, but the way this season is shaping up it puts their fate more in the hands of others. If they want to get there, they're best off taking control of their fate.

    Tell the Truth Monday- Dallas Edition

    My truth: This team can afford only to drop one more game if it wants to make the playoffs. Is it necessary to make the playoffs this year? Absolutely not, but to miss them after a 7-2 start will be a significant let down. The team drafted Jayden Daniels because they believed in him as a...

    Next Day Thread: What Was That? (Dallas Edition)

    When a bottom tier defense is able to shut down your offense, you have to change things up. Yesterday it was clear they were keying in on the run game and short passing game. It worked, but this time there's no excuse about facing a decent defense. I'm hoping to see strategic changes next week...

    Name That Washington Player

    New England - Chicago - Washington - New York (N). Probably best remembered in the burgundy and gold for running into his teammate during pre-game warm-ups, resulting in both players being ruled out with injuries.

    Finally one I can get without looking up. Phillip Daniels.

    The Stadium Thread

    Read into it what you will. The Mayor isn't likely to come out and say just a stadium, no matter what. Affordable housing could be played in a couple of ways. Maybe the intention is to build on the land (including housing) as much as possible and limit traffic into DC, instead relying on...
