    Indeed...you nailed your prediction. And certainly Stidham didn't embarrass himself at all. I thought he threw the ball very well in the 1st half before the snowstorm hit. The bomb to Mimms was perfectly thrown & led him on target. The TD pass to Sutton was a laser on target. His two big...

    Good find on that video. This morning scrolling through NFL news, I saw a brief article that the play was "unscripted." I guess I was premature in crediting McDaniels with making a gutsy call. Lol. It was a nice naked bootleg with Maye having the speed to turn the corner & outrun the DE...

    And we're back to the million dollar question: What changes is McDaniel going to make to Herbert & the O that will ensure the team is more successful in the postseason? Because the problem here isn't the regular season for the most part -- Herbert's had 4 winning seasons & 3 playoff appearances...

    Did the City of Seattle set off the air raid sirens? Lol. Missed the game but I'm seeing 76 passes, 720 yds & 6 scores between Stafford & Darnold. Talk about an "Air Coryell" type game.

    My bad - Lutz hooked the FG in the 1st half when the weather was still good. The 2nd half attempt in the snow was tipped. And the power of the dual-threat QB played favorably in this type of game - and not just in the adverse conditions in the 2nd half. The Broncos nuked the NE passing game in...

    Crazy Bronco game - the 2nd half was completely ruined by the snowstorm severely affecting both offenses. Visibility bad, footing bad, wind affecting the kicking game, etc. Man...what a call by McDaniels on the Maye bootleg on 3rd & long for the game sealing 1st down with less than 2 minutes to...

    Looks like Foles played in the air raid offense for his 3 yrs at Arizona (2008-2011). Mike Stoops, a defensive guy, was HC at the time but Seth Littrell was his OC. If you recall Littrell cut his teeth coaching under Mike Leach at TT, and Leach is one of the fathers of the air raid O. And man...

    Couldn't agree more but the reports that I'm seeing say McCarthy was hired to lure Rodgers into playing another year? Rodgers is a shadow of his former self - a once Tier 1 QB that's probably a top 10 all-time great. Sure, he finished the season uninjured & threw the ball fairly well (slightly...

    I vaguely remember him. He was pretty much an ynderachiever having played in only 5 playoffs games (no championship games) in a very long career of 17 seasons. He came in the league with huge expectations drafted #3 OA in 1957. He had cannon (they called him "rifle arm") and elite size for those...

    One factor on the comparison being made with Foles is that he started in the divisional round playoff game, then the NFCCG & culminating with the SB win. He also started the last 3 games of that season when Wentz tore his ACL. So, Foles came into the playoffs having 3 games experience under his...

    Well, I guess Dobbins isn't playing after all (he did return to practice this week from IR). As I mentioned their running game diminished significantly when he went down & Harvey & Co couldn't pick up the slack. No running game is going to put more pressure on Stidham. OTOH, the Patriots come in...

    The Broncos have hosted 8 AFCCG in their franchise history. This will be the coldest since the 1978 game against the Raiders. Also, some of the computer models are now showing snow for the game, which could impact QB play. View: https://youtube.com/shorts/cSfeRkYh1io?si=jNaiquvKJnSFvElq

    View: https://youtube.com/shorts/PmkMvE3Py34?si=PVhCjxYQcq7SFUG4 This was an absolutely brutal hit on Kincaid by Talanoa Hufanga. And what's amazing about this is Hufanga is only around 200 lbs hitting a 240 lb bigger guy. It might be wise for Maye to slide or run out-of-bounds avoiding any...

    Who knows, maybe Rivers will get it. Remember a few years ago, the Colts fired Frank Reich mid-season & hired Jeff Saturday as interim coach? Saturday was a HS coach with no previous coaching experience at the professional or collegiate level (I think he was also doing ESPN talking head stuff...
