Yea i feel bad for that GM. Owener clearly wanted Barkley back and the previous regime already paid Jones. He was in a no win situation

Best thing to do was to let barkley leave.. it was nothing there for him besides gaining stats.. they arent close to contention with jones lol. Gm prolly getting fired soon anyway
 
Didnt know barkley had so many yards.. they also already had a bye. Dam i wanted henry to win opoy.. if its close by the end of year, i can see barkley taking it due to him having some rec yards
 
Something I found a bit interesting. Belichek was asked if he ever had a soft team in response to Mayo's presser from a few weeks ago.

Belichek said they were number 1 against the run last year and this year they're 26th. He then said it's the exact same players and they're not soft.

Just seems like a real parallelism to our situation

I mean the Ravens problem isn’t that they are soft, or even that they have bad play calling most of the time, but that Williams keeps getting lost on the field, the flaws of Brandon Stephens were exposed and now he is the target of every team, and Roquan Smith is slow at picking up his man, especially when they are either a TE who was blocking or a RB coming out of the backfield.

If these guys were being put in positions to fail I would complain about coaching but the plays are there, they just need to play up to the level they have shown they can before. The other 8 people on the field are not having this issue.

I'm not saying we're soft. I'm saying it's a totally parallel situation where a top unit changes coaches and with overwhelmingly the same players, drops tremendously in the ranks.

Based off tonight, if Netflix couldn't handle the Tyson/Paul fight and the amount of people watching it.... it's going to be a rough one when it comes to how many NFL fans will crash the servers for both Christmas games.

We have to watch our Christmas game on Netflix?

I’m genuinely amazed most of the money was bet on Tyson to win. That plus Paul being a massive favorite meant Vegas made a killing on this fight.

I just don’t get why people are shocked. Tyson lacked the stamina to box a full match 20 years ago. Did people think aging 20 years would give him more?
