Fukui San January 10, 2018 Share January 10, 2018 I think the Browns are nicely positioned, but for me I would have rather fired Hue Jackson than Sashi Brown. They HAVE to come away from this offseason with a franchise QB. Heck, I would do what the Redskins did when they drafted RGIII in the first and Kirk Cousins in the 4th. Cousins came in handy when RGIII flamed out. The other thing that may have cost the Browns a few times is that from what the Pats front office has said, it's difficult making deals with the Browns front office as they want to do everything by consensus rather than having one person clearly in charge. The AJ McCarron debacle would seem to suggest that as well. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3173-nfl-thread/page/175/#findComment-3953816

But wasn’t it Carson Wentz who said Hue sent him part of the Browns playbook and was clear about wanting him and then the front office traded down the pick? I assume there might be more instances like that one that allows Hue another chance. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3173-nfl-thread/page/175/#findComment-3954109

If there is not indisputable visual evidence that he did not catch it, then the call should stand. The problem is replay is substituting considered judgment after reviewing a play 50 million times from multiple angles for the call in real time. Will they get it right every time in real time?

Atlanta OTOH came up short again in the playoffs. I had figured that they was going to come up short again and not make the Superbowl this year. I did pick them to win this game in the football pool, (though I originally was going to pick Philly but changed my pick because I thought they were at a disadvantage to Atlanta). But I still thought that even if Atlanta had advanced they were going to lose to the Saints/Vikings. Atlanta has been uneven all season long and they are not as good as they were last year.

Jx223 January 14, 2018 Share January 14, 2018 (edited) I feel like with the way that things goes for the Patriots it's very important for teams to get ahead of them quickly. And then try and keep a large lead over them. Teams need to leave as little room as possible for shenanigans/controversial calls/no calls to be game enders. The Saints is one team left in the playoffs that I feel can do this. I feel like Drew Brees and that team can hang enough points on the Patriots to where they can survive these things. The Jags could slow then down, but would benefit more with better QB play. The Steelers I think might have another close game where things ends up going the Patriots way. The Vikings might have a chance against them. Edited January 14, 2018 by Jx223 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3173-nfl-thread/page/175/#findComment-3963003

DrSpaceman73 January 14, 2018 Share January 14, 2018 Yes brady, Roethlisberger, manning, that's been it in the afc for a generation. While the calls did not go Tenn. way in the first half, they just looked bad the whole game. Mariota did not look good. The D could not stop them. Rumors are that McDaniels is the likely new coach in Indy. I'd be Ok with it. Certainly an improvement over Pagano. On the topic of NFC QBs, Cam Newton COULD make the HOF, but too early to tell. Eli will be that marginal case that tests how much SBs count for QBs. I have always though "SB wins" for QBs is way overrated, they get too much credit. ANd I don't think ELi is a HOFer. But then Bob Griese is in the HOF because of 2 SB wins. And heck he did not even play the majority of the year in their perfect season. Earl Morrall did. He is probably the closest comparison to Eli. But then Eli has only made 4 Pro Bowls and no All pro teams. Griese made 8 Pro Bowls and 2 all pro teams. The advantage for Eli is he really did have a lot to do with the Giants two SB runs, whereas as Griese really didnt ANd I am not being biased or saying that based on different eras, revisionist history, etc 1972 the year they went undefeated : During the regular season he played 5 games. He went, TOTAL, 53/97 for 638 yards, 4 TDs and 4 INTs. Yes, different ears, but still.... In the playoffs : 3 of 5 70 yards in one game and 8 of 11 for 88 yards in the SB. The next year in the playoffs, another SB win : 11 of 18 for 159 yards in the divisional round. OK, not bad 3 of 6 for 34 yards 6 of 7 for 73 yards in the SB. He was 7-5 in the playoffs. 5 of his 7 wins he completed less than 10 passes. The other two were the 11 completion game and one he had about 20.
