As long as Toub doesn't shove Tyreek Hill into his luggage on the way out of town and steal him, we'll be ok. [Reply]

You are an expert in offensive play calling...it's what you do for a living at the highest level. 0 times out of a hundred do you pass in a situation where you essentially have the game won and just need to drain the clock. Matty "Jesuit Ice" took a 12 yard sack and put his team out of FG range....he is a Boston College alum...refs did the rest, ignoring a facemask penalty while enforcing a hold.
Per ESPN
" Leading 28-20 with 4:40 remaining, the Falcons had a first down at the Patriots' 22-yard line and a great opportunity to make it a two-score game. The Patriots had found their rhythm on offense, but it's debatable whether they would have had enough time to score twice.
The Falcons' playcalling at that point was, well, unexpected -- and that's being kind to offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan (what he meant was "that was totally ****ed up"). They missed a huge opportunity to seal the game.
Shanahan called a pass on second and third downs. The first resulted in a 12-yard sack, and the second was overturned by a holding penalty. On the next play -- third-and-33! -- Shanahan called another pass that fell incomplete. The Falcons lost 23 yards on two plays, were forced to punt and drained only 1:10 off the clock.
Had the Falcons simply run three times -- even if they failed to gain a single yard -- kicker Matt Bryant would have been in position for a quite reasonable 39-yard field goal attempt. In his career, Bryant is 31-for-32 on field goals of 40 yards or shorter in the fourth quarter or overtime, according to research from Micah Adams of ESPN Stats & Information. "
Remember in the off-season when I said it was the "Brady revenge tour"...and he would get a kick back for throwing the Broncos game....yeah.
All you have to do...is notice patterns that are out of the ordinary. Like very strange play calling in critical junctures or Cam Newton refusing to recover a fumble...or Brady ignoring a wide-open Gronk on a 2 point conversion...or 3, third down conversions by penatly in a single drive.
394 times in NFL history has a team had that big of a lead at that juncture in a game...and 3 times has there been a comeback. THREE....enjoy your fake sport.
Haven't you been saying you were done with the NFL for a couple years now?
You're like the stalker ex-husband who says, "I am SO better off without her" while he's installing hidden cameras throughout her house, tapping her phone, poisoning her cat, and driving by her house 41 times a day. [Reply]

It was a good choice. Hire from your division rival who has owned you on the field the last 2 years. Smart move.
Also, I didn't realize Toub had signed a contract to be Indy's head coach next year? [Reply]

It's only stupid if the deal doesn't heavily favor Denver. If Elway can get him to sign a deal filled with per game roster bonuses and playoff/Super Bowl incentives, then it's a great deal. Denver has the cap space to sign Romo and still address the OL in free agency.
A healthy Romo and a few pieces on the OL would make Denver the favorite to win the Super Bowl next year. [Reply]
