The Random Thought Thread

I'm not interested in paying big money for a RB when we have other glaring needs.

Phillip Lindsay, the Broncos starting RB went UNDRAFTED and is playing extremely well. Between what Conner has done, what Lindsay is doing in Denver, this should be a warning to anyone who wants to cave into Bell's demands in March.

this is not me advocating for bell but...

just because those guys were got there doesnt mean that you can just bring in any rb - yes its a position that is consistently cheaper and deeper in the draft than others but it's still difficult to find one as multiple teams (including the ravens in recent years it seems) can testify

If Mike McCarthy who could only win one Super Bowl with Rodgers, and for as bad as the Packers have been this season. If even after the fact he was fired after losing to a two win team, is STILL drawing heavy interest among other teams(Browns will pony up the most money unless Mike McCarthy gives John Dorsey a Buddy Discount), you guys really think Harbaugh wouldn't draw as much or even more suitors if we were to fire him?

McCarthy isn't as bad as most of you think. Theres a good SI article on it. This season he added new concepts to his playbook. When you don't go after high profile FAs you better be drafting at a high level. But the Packers missed on a one draft as bad as our 2013/2015 draft. Andy Benoit broke down a play where McCarthys playdesign would've worked but Rodgers was basically free lancing or misread the play. On this exact play Rodgers got a pass and McCarthy all the blame. In my eyes its 60% Mccarthy 40% Rodgers.

I view McCarthy more as a coordinator than a HC, but that's just me.

Raiders have beaten the Steelers the last three games played in Oakland.

4 I believe, Ben has never won there. 2006 they lost to the otherwise 1-14 raiders. The line is -11 for pitt. Haven’t bet in a while but I might have went to get on that

I’ve never like McCarthy as a coach, this isn’t the first year I’ve expressed that. Although Rodgers has played like shit this season compared to what he usually looks like so it’s definitely not ALL on mm. I’ve also always thought Rodgers is a tad overrated but whatevs.

Lindsay said it was between us and the Broncos... damn...

As far as Bell, I think he should try and get to Indy. I've thought for a while that would be a great fit for both parties and definitely help Luck's game. A three to four year deal and they have the cap. Don't think they have any big deals coming up either.

And it was his parents that wanted him to stay in Denver....close to his family.

Your right. Rodgers folds in Big games and when trailing by 3 to 7 points in the 4th qtr he rarely wins. Oh well I'm glad I made the decision to not watch anymore Packer games this season. I'll watch the Bucks who are off to a 15-7 start.

Yeah I was just gonna say, his parents wanted him to stay with the hometeam. In that case, I can't blame him/be mad at him for that. Besides, I want to thank him for his stupidity against our defense in week 3.

Me too, they have a tendency to overlook the lesser teams and shock me with some of their loses. However, they seem to buckle up in the month of December, especially after coming off a loss. I wouldn’t bet they lose this week.

You should never give up on your team.

Bucks are looking pretty damn good

I have not been this excited for a game in a while. I have been very anxious for games, but I as a Ravens fan I am feeding off the excitement Lamar Jackson has brought. I was dreading playing the Chiefs a few weeks ago but not now. I am not saying I am cocky about a win in Arrowhead, but I feel we could certainly win this tough game. Can't wait!

 

[cobrajet]

After squeaking out a close game with the Raiders, I bet those Chiefs fans are feeling a little more anxious about this game with the Chargers breathing down their necks.

It would be funny if we went 3-1 and lost to LAC and LAC went 3-1 then there’s a legit chance for a shakeup of both division leaders.

 

[Ice Bowl]

Damn ice bowl I thought you were better than that...

All these losses have hurt too much. The way we're losing too just hurts like hell. I can't let it wreck my Sunday's anymore.

 

[Ice Bowl]

I will still always be a Packer fan but I need to not watch Sunday. It would be better that way and then I'll check the final score later in the day.
