This one truly made me sick.

Listening to BeleCHEAT complain how hard it is to play defense in this league while he had his team mug their way to shutting down the GSoT in the Super Bowl....which ACTUALLY PUT THOSE RULES INTO PLACE.

He single handedly created the situation he's complaining about.

Dude can F right off.
This is Matthew Stafford who made that toss, the same Matthew who is renowned for getting the rock to his receivers every way imaginable: bullet passes, rainbow tosses, shuffle throws, etc. Puka was berating himself on that play because he bumped into one of the tackles and felt he knocked all the OL guys off their stride on that play. Nevertheless, Puka was in the area, and Matthew identified him by "his shoes" and directed the flutter toss in Puka's direction. The officials, knowing Matthew's diverse repertoire of tosses, gave him the benefit of the doubt. If it was anyone else not named Matthew or Patrick Mahomes (who essentially copies Matthew's passing repertoire), the call goes against the QB.

Goff just had a worse display of the same rule manipulation in the end zone against the Vikings. Stafford threw in the direction and vicinity and Goff did not throw it in the direction of any receiver. I think the Goff play set precedent.

Lamar Jackson did the exact same thing and no one is giving him grief.

This was one the best film studies I've ever seen. i think i just gained 200 lbs just watching these OL gurus breakdown protection failures. I won't ruin it but it was a close battle between OL and QB failures for each sack...
Love how they awarded the tiebreaker in mere seconds. Took no analysis, just seeing the open guy right there immediately!

Has anybody noticed that Byron Young has gotten much better at bull rushing?

I thought his ceiling was kind of mid - more a cleanup sack guy - but with his skills improving, it may be higher than I credited him for.
Agent Zero added ten pounds of muscle this off-season without decreasing his speed. (y)

I like Eisen’s stat at the end. -

“McVay is now 8-4 in the playoffs. Only Don Shula and John Madden, with 10 & 9, have had more playoff wins as a head coach prior to turning 45 years old in NFL history. Sean McVay turns 45 in January of 2031.”
Greatest Ram coach of all time.
