https://twitter.com/SportsCenter/status/823623221929017345quote:There's one more Browns/Super Bowl connection, which isn't direct, but is valid. Atlanta's Julio Jones was the player the Falcons drafted when the Browns traded out of that slot in 2011. The Browns touted the deal as one that would help build the team with numbers of players. They wound up with defensive tackle Phil Taylor, receiver Greg Little, fullback Owen Marecic, quarterback Brandon Weeden and running back Trend Richardson. christ

Intruder posted:The dumb sports fan thing where you think your lack of faith will cause your team to lose? I don't know That is what blood sacrifices are for.  OSheaman posted:Mike Daniels is the only good D lineman on the team at the moment. Clark might eventually be OK but he has some work to do for sure. The ILBs are undersized and tryhard guys, Matthews has had several disappointing seasons in a row, Clinton-Dix had a terrible end to a decent season that was somehow reqarded with a Pro Bowl, Nick Perry and Datone Jones are basically the definition of JAGs, Sam Shields is done and both second year corners regressed so hard they're going to have to fight for their spots in camp next year. This defense is a mess and I don't know that I trust Ted to fix it. I don't think it is a coincidence that Clinton-Dix started to drop off immediately after the secondary died. I think you are undervaluing their defensive talent. Your defensive roster is more me than outright bad. I think the bigger issue is coaching. I'm not sure the Pats are really that talented on defense, but they maximize what they get out of their players. (Not to say they lack talent so much as lack game breakers )

The Pats are getting results from Shea McClellin and Kyle Van Noy. Bill Belichick is the greatest coach of all time.

GaussianCopula posted:The trade was still a bad idea. It was both the right move at the time, and a terrible gamble and it both paid off with a deep run in 2012 and Super Bowl Run this year, but also cost them the ability to restock with draft talent in-between. Sometimes you can make the right moves and still not win a Championship. I'd argue that Atlanta did make the right move trading for Jones when they did to get the short-term boost, but still didn't succeed, then paid the price over a pretty talent-lean stretch, and now has overcome that cost while still reaping the longer-term benefits. Not everything has to be terrible or great. There's lots of in-between.

GaussianCopula posted:The trade was still a bad idea. There's a lot of different ways to use draft capital, but as long as you're actually acquiring the right player for your team it's a blowhard stance to grandstand about how stupid a move it was. If the whole process is a gamble and a "lottery ticket" then stocking up on 3rd round picks is like buying a ton of scratch tickets. You can't indict the process in the same breath that you demand it be adhered to

It's funny seeing all the comments about how they won't get punished because they're not the Patriots. Aren't the aren't Seahawks getting docked a second round pick for pretty much the same thing?

Intruder posted:They did it most of the season though I think Pete never even really says when it was specifically, but somewhere around mid-season is when Sherman got hurt. Still no official word on the punishment yet, AFAIK. They have multiple offseason violations, which is why they're probably going to get a harsher punishment. If anything, the Steelers will just get a fine.

Out of curiosity, what's the rationale behind making sure injury reports and such need to be very comprehensive? I don't understand the harm of leaving Sherman, for example, off for a tweaked MCL.

I don't know what the NFL claims is the reason, but that's the actual reason.

Grittybeard posted:To stop insiders from having a betting advantage and from being able to sell information like that to Vegas/sharps. The league's justification is that gaming the injury reports can mess with an opponent's gameplan, which is true -- you're going to scheme against the Seahawks differently if you know Sherman isn't running on all cylinders. I think Mike Shanahan's Broncos were notorious for having like half the roster listed as questionable.

Just have every player with a bruise on it and you drown out the information your opponent could get from it while still not violating the league policy.
