The NFL Thread

I think AJ knows he’s on the other side of his prime. Whatever Philadelphia’s window is overall, his personal one is closing. Frankly, I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt on this one; Sirianni seems like a complete fraud to me. The Trent Dilfer of SB winning coaches (harsh on Trent maybe).

 

[Alan]

Gotta be Sirianni based on the criticism from when they were terrible two years back, and the opinion that he's been constantly bailed out by his coordinators rather than his ability as HC.

Although saying that there's been plenty of criticism aimed at Patullo as OC which might save him. Probably better getting rid of both?

I think you’re right, there’s just this weird animosity towards Jalen that gives me a smidge of pause. I guess that wouldn’t technically be a firing but you get what I mean

But not the most important stat.

I give you hard time about him; in my heart I think he should be remembered as another Marino if he never wins a Super Bowl. Problem is, each year it gets harder to believe he'll ever do that. Not necessarily because of him, just because he hasn't won one playing damn near perfect hero ball the last couple of seasons.

It definitely feels shitty, but the fact is that Trent Dilfer is more accomplished than Allen, no matter what the stats say about them as individuals. The Lombardi is the measuring stick when you start getting into GOAT talk. Fairly or not, QBs always bear the praise or blame.

I'll say this: I'm not sure there's another currently starting QB that is properly ahead of Allen just now. Drake Maye is probably the only other guy I'd consider, and it's way, way too soon to be putting those two in the same conversation.

That my friend is absolute highest of the highest order.

That my friend is absolute highest of the highest order.

I assume that should be “horseshit”?

Honestly, at this point your reverence for him is almost endearing. Fair play.

I get that going for it on 4th down is all the rage, but sometimes you've just got to take the 3 points!

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

Maye looked to be in complete control - totally unexpected turnover.
But there is little to suggest the Chargers will do much with the ball.
Every Herbert pass attempt seems to be overthrown or underthrown. They cannot win unless his accuracy improves.

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

It doesnt help when his receivers cant catch the ball.

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

Or when they substitute too often.

COMPLETELY outplayed 2nd half.
