Come get your boy. ESP doesn't know what he's talking about on WIP.

I had it on because I went through the car wash & my sirus goes out temporarily. So WIP was the first channel it went to when I switched to FM. I would have changed it but the one caller at that time was unloading on Hurts & getting Ike/Spike/whoever else was on all riled up. :laugh:

As Jo Jo should know, those "winning" % are gross aggregates, you would have to modify them for each team - and this early in the season - that sort of modification is almost impossible.

The Barkley play was the right call, Falcons had been stuffing inside runs the second half, I think Barkley had TD fever and didn't focus on the catch, all he had to do is catch it and fall down.

But really, your defense should be able to stop Cousins from marching down the field with no time outs. That's the real issue - and the one Fangio has to fix.

However, it's a long season, the defense you see now may be very different ten games from now.
DeJean and Hunt may be playing.
Defensive line rotation, defensive fronts may be quite different.
Huff for example, may go back to being a pass rush specialist, where he was effective the last two seasons.

I know I'm a hater, but Jalen Hurts makes me mad every time I see him play. I stopped watching the defense I can't handle it. Shoutouts to Q Mitchell.

Jalen is the most spoiled qb in the league with insane talent, and yet every play has to be life or death heroics because he seems incapable of throwing to anyone other than his first read. He stinks. Would rather have Kirk Cousins.

If only there were some realistic games against opponents other than your own teammates before the season started where you could figure out your strengths and weaknesses without it counting towards your actual record. Some way for the coaches to figure out what works with the players they have and what doesn’t and for the players to get a feel for what the guys around them do when the poop hits the fan. That would be a useful tool for NFL teams to have.

Picked up Carr for this week , is he a most start over Goff ? Saints should score 40 plus right ?
Picked him up as well. But I also have Lamar Jackson, so I'm a little torn on who to play.

Kamara could go big enough that it legitimately eats into Carr's numbers

After going back through the game, I think their best defensive player was Nolan Smith. Good game from him. I expected it to be Quinyon, but he got lost sometimes as rookie DBs generally do. Not concerning, just not as good as the broadcast angle suggested to me.

That answer sucks. Even if you believe that, taking this track says you don't understand what your boss wants. That is not a Howie answer.

Zero chance I could leave that out in the open like that in front of my pug. :laugh:

At this point my pug knows what a drive thru is so he associates it with food. I went to the bank drive thru the other day for the first time with him, he wasn’t happy there wasn’t any food. :laugh:

Why would you go for it on 4th and 4 in the 1st quarter and then feel convinced to not there. To me I would have ran the ball on 3rd down to kill 40 more seconds and barring a negative play go for it again on 4th down if you didn't get it the prior plany.

Regardless, the defense can't rush the passer or stop the run. Going to be a rough season as of now.
