Not a bad time to be a Liverpool fan!
yeah lol - greek football is wild as hell and i had no idea until we got there - literally had riot police in the stadium and perspex shielding between the home and away fans and they were constantly throwing bottles and missiles at us the whole game - away fans have to enter the stadium basically via a bunch of cages
This one doesn't help us. Need the Raiders to lose more than the Colts, as the Colts have the Jags in week 17.
lol
I like how this is laid out because you'd assume that we suck and blew 18 coverages but watching all season, it's so many more lol
and also that somehow (until the last 2 weeks) it was a good 3rd down and redzone defence as well as one of the best run defences in the league... despite also giving up on average more than 1 40yd play per game which is wild lol
also check out the falcons haha - the most "prevent" prevent defence ive ever encountered - 0 big plays against them but they've given up nearly 5500 yards this year which is 9th worst in the NFL (ironically 1 spot behind the ravens)
just looking at pure yardage the ravens have the worst pass defence and the best run defence in the league
worst in the league in YAC given up
5th highest in blitz rate
4th worst in average depth of target
5th worst in air yards
2nd worst in turnovers (and INTs)
worst in yards per attempt (and yards per play when run and pass put together)
but...
we're middle of the pack in terms of completions though
3rd best in qb hits
middle of the pack in 1st downs
middle of the pack in scoring drives rate
just a weird weird defence

Most nonsensical defense we've had in years. Also, we have to be blowing the league away with almost sacks.

That sounds absolutely wild

Not sure if it’s been posted yet but just head that John Madden has died.
NFL legend John Madden dead at 85. What a legend indeed.

RIP Big John. A true American treasure.
Not sure if anyone saw it but there was a great documentary on Christmas night, "All Madden".

I'm sure they will re air it soon.

I’m sure they will. I recorded it just in case. He was literally, and figuratively, a larger then life personality.

Elaborate on him.

It’s not too early! Bijan is a beast. I’m just trying to SIIE that JK comes back at full strength. That injury seemed devastating

he’s going to have the saquon Barkley hype when he comes out. Dudes a stud.
Yeah, that’s going to be a big question mark. I hope he can return to form. I would like us to draft a RB in the later rounds this coming draft as a hedge, since both our RBs are coming back from major knee injuries.
