I am going to laugh hysterically if Rogers completes a Hail Mary and the Packers win this game

No such opportunity.

24 games have been decided by 3 points or less this early season so far.

A healthy Barkley and an improved OL is really pushing the Giants forward. A new coach has also been a factor. I always thought they had a solid defense. Nice win

NFC East is looking really solid. Giants 4-1 Cowboys 3-1 Eagles 4-0. Wouldn’t be surprised if the Commodes beat the Tits today.

OL is still subpar and yet I agree with improved. That’s how bad they were ha.

Yup what I was getting ready to say, not a joke this year.

If the Cowboys beat the Rams things going to get real interesting in Dallas when Dak is ready to come back.

Goff o 1.5 passing TDs
Jefferson o 83.5 rec yards

Elijah Moore o 42.5 rec yards
Mark Ingram anytime TD
Eagles -5
Niners ML
Rams ML
Lamar Jackson anytime TD scorer
Chiefs -2.5

Dak is the guy but they may change the mindset of their attack. Lean on the defense and running game instead of being throw happy.

Just saying if you pull a guy that hasn’t lost and then they struggle you know what happens.

No doubt Texas is getting better, finally. It’s about time.

What's going on with OU? It seems like more than just changing coaches and losing some guys in the portal.

Some folks were saying they quit. I don't believe they did, but they just looked like they were lost on both sides of the ball.

Is Venables trying to change too much all at once (similar to Chip Kelly at UCLA for his first few years)?

Ordered an outdoor pizza oven and it's supposed to get here tomorrow.

It heats up to 932 degrees.

Can't wait.

I have no idea on offense, other than Lebby sucks but on defense yes he is getting ahead of himself. He put in the 3 - 4 like at Clemson without having the talent to run that scheme. A lot of people scratching their heads.

Sounds similar to Chip Kelly. He got to UCLA and just installed his system without having "his guys".

It's an interesting approach because you know it's going to be bad for a while. You could see the improvement each year as he got more of his type of players in. But about halfway through year 3, the UCLA fans I know were calling for his head.

This year, they're glad UCLA didn't listen. Hopefully, the same happens for OU.

Yeah they probably had the worst OL so not saying much but it does seem improved a bit

It is primarily for pizza. Can you use it for anything else? Might be a stupid question lol but just curious

Hopefully he figures it out, this isn’t UCLA, he won’t be given a lot of time.

Yes. You can cook steaks, bbq, fish, vegetables, just about any baked items.

The transfer portal being more of a thing now than it was when Kelly started at UCLA, and NIL should make for a faster transition if he takes advantage of them.
