That said... 2. The current PI review rule is administered extremely poorly. The standard seems to be some sort of nebulous "blatant and obvious" standard. With most decisions as to whether to throw the red flag or not, a coach typically uses the logic of meeting one of the three criteria: a) it's an obvious overturn, b) it's not clear but it is crucial, or c) it's a longshot but we are in a position where we have nothing to lose by trying. With the way PI is administered, however, "a" - the main reason for reply in the first place - is out the window because there is no real standard... |

I think the power rankings are a bit different, I agree it's fun to discuss who is the greatest but we mostly go off what others tell us. Apart from videos I bet most of us never saw Sweetness play, I can give good odds that 90% if not more never saw Jim Brown play. I always go of who made the hairs on my neck stand up, Brady as great as he is bores me, the ones that did were Marino, Taylor, Payton and most of all Barry Sanders.

I only say Emmitt because he holds the rushing title. Lets put it this way. I consider Sanders and Emmitt one and two. Don't care what order. Sanders had that one flaw, and Emmitt had the way better team and offensive line. Barry also retired early. Had he kept playing no one would ever touch his total yards gained.

Rams probably get better because of this, but I'm not sure it gets them past the Seahawks or 49ers. They would have been better off keeping their picks.

The DeAndre Hopkins background story.
It's so sad parents force their children to grow up in such a manner. Much respect for the man he appears to have become.

That's because he was a #2 WR. He's not going to show up in stats. That doesn't mean he isn't better than WRs with better stats on teams that didn't have Jerry Rice. That's common sense. Of the three biggest lies, what's one of them? Statistics. If you watched the 49ers back in the day you can see how good John Taylor was. He was a slant away from a 90+ yard TD at any given moment. Did so twice one game against the Rams.

As far as this specific case, Demaryius Thomas, what's the big deal? He was formerly a star-level receiver and now seems to have declined to somewhere in the "average" range. No real history with New England, and got traded to the Jets. While I can understand the frustration of going from the Patriots (Super Bowl favorite) to the Jets ('nuff said), it's a business and NE did nothing wrong, specifically ethically, from my perspective. And it appears he's still a starting wide receiver in the NFL. "It was disrespectful to me," he told the newspaper. "Like, you know, you could trust me and I could trust you. You told me when you cut me at the [final] cut, sit around, you'll bring me back. And I stayed. I could have easily become a Jet once I got cut. ... I could have been here the next day after I got released. But I chose to stay." And then circumstances changed. Seems like little more than an inconvenience to me... Different sport, but Al Horford had every intention of staying with the Celtics, and the C's were counting on him coming back. But circumstances changed (namely, Big Al realized the Sixers and other teams were offering more money), so out the door he went... At any rate, I find that there are few things more odious than the professional athlete who feels "disrespected" and decides to let us know about it. |

With Mahomes out with a dislocated knee, do you think there is any way there is a team in the AFC who will prevent New England from reaching the SB?

I wasn't sold on the Chiefs beforehand, their D clicked into gear last night have to see if that continues. The play offs can be weird though, anything can happen. Not seen Houston to see if their any good but of the teams I have in one off games maybe Buffalo, Kansas City and Baltimore however unless the wheels fall off New England will have home field advantage. Short answer no
