I'd like an apology from everyone who ignored my "why are there so many middling records in the league rn" question

There's a variety of reasons but I think a lot of it is how hard defenses defend in the red zone now. Scoring is way down and has been down in the red zone for years. Defenses are becoming highly specialized to clamp down in the red zone by having stronger, tackling corners and decent coverage LBs. The highly successful teams seem to be the ones that do high variance, big hitting plays. Some excel a lot at that and seem to be carrying over their success from last year but others can easily drop games if the variance is low.

Someone recently expressed the idea that a fumble out of bounds should be a turnover and I'd absolutely love that rule.

At least it would be consistent with the fumble out of the end zone rule. Would def cut down on guys reaching out for a first down.

I'm not sure it would. Apparently guys are coached incessantly to not reach for the pylon but the allure of endzone is too much.

It's a good risk/reward for guys diving for the pylon but other than that it would be a weird punishment for people who are aiming to get to the sideline to give themselves up

Looks like it might be injury related as he was evaluated for a concussion.

Edit: looks like he was cleared but benched.

how can we not talk about family
when family's all that we got?
it's always crazy to see how many passing records are held by old timey players. during the Dolphins game they put up a graphic of the most yards for a WR through 8 games and Tyreek was 4th behind three pre-merger players. some dude had 1042 yards through 8 games in 1945. that's funny

Weird question, did Sunday Night Football demote Dungy or just give him less to do at some point before this season? The show is so much better without him on it giving his personal opinions. Plus to me Jason Garrett is inoffensively bland (and gently caress the Cowboys) so he doesn't annoy me as much as Tony "1 Super Bowl win with one of the most talented teams of all time" Dungy.
