Well the season is over. And we will find out whether there will be big changes or not soon enough. But I figured I would just list my observations from the season, what went right and what went wrong. We'll start off with the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.
The Good
We look to have had...
Surprised we don't have a thread yet. Anywho...
I realize that camp is camp and we shouldn't be reserving our flights to Vegas in Feb by any stretch. But check out this little video of Njigba..
In particular, look at the 1st route he ran. Does a quick cut out and then turns upfield on...

Being able to record the games to watch later is a pretty huge feature for me as it wasn't available with the DirecTV streaming package. The...
So rather than just keep talking about how wrong we all were, I figured I would start a conversation about how well each player is playing. I'll include their PFF grades in my grading even if they aren't always as useful as we would hope. Grade among their position in ().

I looked but couldn't find another thread about it. Which is kinda shocking.
Anyone watching it? I think it's been great. Even the wifey is enjoying it and she hates sportsball.

All those predicting doom and gloom pretty much got it wrong completely.
One of the discussions here got me thinking.
Has any team ever made a head scratching draft pick that actually turned out to work? By work I mean, met or exceeded the expectations of the draft slot. So a top 5 pick becoming an All-Star. A later lottery pick by a championship rotation...
So is anyone watching it?
I read the book which was incredible. The show has been great so far but much darker in tone than the book. I highly recommend it though. It's basically a darker Friday Night Lights on ice.
So the trade deadline is still a couple of weeks away. But I think that a lot of teams could be make some moves.
What trades would you like to see? What have you heard?
I can't recommend Soviet Storm enough. Available of Amazon Prime.
It's a documentary made by Russians about the Eastern Front in WWII. Learned a TON of things about that war that I never really knew.
It's all in English but the maps are in Cyrillic so you just have to work with it a...
Figured we should have a overall regular season thread.
Lots of national figures are giving Pete credit for letting Russ cook early in the game and he definitely does deserve a lot of credit for changing his strategy in that regard.
But he also deserves credit for changing his in the lead...
I have to say I was not expecting Joe Kelly's reasoning for why he threw at the Astros players...
Kelly calls Astros 'snitches' and 'rats' in podcast
This might be the only argument from other players that I find valid.
So I love war movies. I've watched a lot of them. But not all war movies are created equally. And for me there is a separation between best war movies and war movies I love to watch over and over again.
So here's mine.
Top 5 War Movies of all Time
1. Band of Brothers
2. Patton
3...
So rather than a bunch of navel gazing about how awful/great the draft was, let's just talk about the guys we really loved or really hated. 1 for each and explain why.
Loved - Colby Parkinson. This guy seems like he could be a dominant player in the NFL. Great size. Good speed. Great...
So there is a lot of buzz among Sixers fans right now that the Sixers will never realize their full potential and that maybe they need to move one of Embiid or Simmons. And since Simmons is playing really well right and Embiid is out, it's mostly about trading Embiid.
So I figured let's talk...
Pretty good article on the The Athletic by Ben Baldwin.
Is Pete Carroll the right coach for this version of the...
I know that there is a paywall for the article so I'll post some relevant parts. IMO, any serious sports fan should have an Athletic subscription. It's what ESPN used to be...
