I appreciate that TNF offers you two broadcast options. Prime Vision with all kinds of stats and analytics Normal broadcast where they ignorantly shit on analytics each week

I want to sincerely thank the Colts organization for being unwilling to trade Daniel Jones.
The #Vikings also inquired about Justin Herbert, Daniel Jones and Geno Smith before striking a deal with the #Raiders for Kirk Cousins, per multiple league sources. The Colts listened but did not want to move Jones, while the Jets felt Smith was too important to the team and the development of other players. The Chargers, I’m told, immediately shut down all inquiries for Herbert, who also has a no-trade clause.

Good. This is the game I want to watch.
The #Ravens vs. #Chargers game on Monday Night Football in Week 10, which is currently poised to feature a third-string QB for Baltimore and a winless Los Angeles team, cannot be flexed according to NFL rules, as MNF flexing is only allowed for games starting in Week 12.

I love how every other year the Vikings have a team that wins an absurd amount of games but everyone thinks they are frauds. The last two teams got embarrassed when it counted. Third time is the charm.

The literacy crisis isn’t that people can’t read the words. It’s that they can’t understand the context, infer meaning, recognise nuance, identify contradictions, or draw logical conclusions from what they’ve read

Most models are pretty rough. 51% isn't a hard science. He should definitely use his expertise to make those. However, he has coached a long time. He's definitely "spent an hour at the blackjack table" already. He's got enough of a sample to where these choices do add up.
Kyle Shanahan says a 51% analytics recommendation won’t convince him to go for it because he gets one shot, not an hour at a blackjack table “I don’t want to hear about it if it’s 51% of the time we should go for it.” “As I always say, I’m not sitting here playing Blackjack for an hour with no one else at the table, and eventually I’ll get 51% of it. Like, I have this one try, and I have a feel for it. I’ve been doing it too long.” “But what I want to know from him, when it’s not a feel, when it, no, this is 98%. We don’t even need to talk about it. So we don’t need to talk about it. Tell me when it’s that, and I’ll just do it.”

NFL OT rules seem pretty balanced right now and actually pretty interesting decision of whether to kick or receive. Advantages to kick: you know the result of your opponent's first drive so you know exactly what you need to do to win. Informational edge.

Advantages to receive: If the game is tied after two possessions you get 1st possession in the sudden death portion of OT. If you can string your first drive out long enough you can burn the entire quarter and win by denying the opponent time. Only a 10 minute period.

Kevin O’Connell and the Vikings are on a 9 game win streak - the longest active streak in the NFL. Vikings fans want him fired.

People criticizing Tomlin about playing Minecraft wouldn't do so if he spent that time watching TV instead. Watching TV is an acceptable way to waste time, playing video games is seen as unacceptable even though they are largely the same (video games are actually better for you).

Punting on 4th and 1 from midfield down 13 in the 2nd half seems horrible to me.

After JSN who is the 2nd best receiver in the NFL? Hard time picking between Parker Washington and Kalif Raymond for me.

guardian cap breaks this up
tell me why every DB shouldn't be wearing a guardian cap to increase their space covered and make it harder for receivers to reach around/over their heads

2024: Sam Darnold 0.127 EPA/play (15th/42 QBs). 14-3, #2 overall defense 2025: JJ McCarthy -0.101 EPA/play (37th/40 QBs) 9-8, #3 overall defense Offense worked fine with Darnold, JJ McCarthy was significantly worse with same coaches, same team.
Cousins, Darnold, JJ all had to go bc the QB Whisperer, backed by a Flores defense, couldnt win big with them. Kirko is 3-0 with LV, Sam won a ring Next offseason, after Kyler is scapegoated, what caliber of pre-made QB will the QB Whisperer require for his offense to work? 🤔

Sam Darnold in 2025 in Seattle: 0.157 EPA/play (12th/40 QBs). Pretty similar to 2024 numbers. KOC got slightly less but roughly the same production out of Darnold that Kubiak did. He got good production from Cousins too. Seems like KOC's coaching is not the primary issue here.
