View attachment 351222Reggie preaching....

Reggie is probably right, but I kinda don't blame Saban. Dude hasn't liked the direction cfb has been heading for a few years now, but has always been able to figure out how to adjust.

I have a feeling that Bama may not have been able to keep up with some of the NIL money that's out there.

Interesting question...15 players hit the transfer portal within hours of Saban's announcement...Did they leave because Saban retired? Or did Saban retire because he knew they were leaving?

Awww poor rams got the short end of the whistle in a playoffs game

Bengals fans everywhere are very sad

I believe it was 17 hit the portal after the NCG and only 1 since his announcement.

I'm sure they left because Saban did.

there were a couple already out there.

Saban doesn't like it's such an open contest rather than behind closed doors deals and he is the king of oversigning and then fucking kids over. The BIG didn't allow oversigning yet the SEC did.

Not saying I'm a huge fan of the current environment but Saban hates not having the kind of control he had before.

Lot of Karma with Dallas going down after that bullshit against the Lions.

 

[DJ Fieri]

2nd player has announced since Saban's retirement.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Didn't matter. What mattered were the 3 stalled drives in the red zone and multiple swallowed whistles (and one that could've been).

Yeah like the "false start" at the end of the 1st half. Lions were driving for 3 maybe 6 and to that point the Rams couldn't stop a fly. That was a huge missed call too.

 

[Shanemansj13]

It seems like GB has a perfect recipe for their drafted QB's.

Late 1st round pick.
Sit behind a future HOF'r for a couple years and learn
Take over the job and never look back

Higbee tore his acl. 2nd time in a month that same Lions player significantly injured someone at that same hit but league to worried about head hits. Those low hits are more dangerous imo

Same guy that injured Hock

Skip raging against Dak Prescott is pretty funny to me.

He didn’t play very well today and the picks put them in a hole.

But the defense gave up 41 points and the Packers stopped being aggressive in the 4th. Love only threw the ball 21 times.

Dallas is supposed to have a top tier defense. To Et did not show up at all.

He's like most irrational fans......if a team loses he's just going to blame the person he doesn't like.

Guess at least he gets paid a olot to be like that.

Luckily I already have Peacock...

Hell I didn't have NBC until a little before game time but had Peacock. NFL at least made ATT and NBC work something out.

a lot of truth to that......though would say if the direction was a benefit to him he'd have been fine with it. He knew if his team was in discussion for a playoff spot in the 4 teamer he was in so change didn't do him any favors.

Have to say while stefanski does deserve some blame as HC the idea Ryans must be far better now is way overblown (really hearing this more from Browns fans than anyone). Sure, a WC game matters more but we have played them 2X in last few weeks where both teams really needed a W. Both games in Houston. we blew them out once, they blew us out once. we were missing a number of players in both games.....they were missing a number of players in 1 game.

I'm less critical on stefanski here than the defensive game plan. Joe Flacco was on a couch for a reason. But the D should've kept the Browns in the game and they didnt.

Yep....they need to figure out a way for the D to at worse be mediocre and not terrible on road next season. Get them the memo that D is supposed to travel?

Like they said during the broadcast last night, if you asked receivers (and honestly, most players) if they'd rather be protected from the high hits or the low ones...they'd choose the low ones.

A high hit might put you out for maybe a week or 2...a low hit can end your season.

What a week for the state of Michigan.

Wolverines with the natty.

Detroit wins a playoff game.

And now this

I said it didn’t end up mattering in my post.

But it was bad strategy and it could have mattered.

No reason whatsoever to wait until after 2 minute warning.

In fact, had they called the TO at 2:30…

Does Campbell still have the stones to call a pass on 2nd down? Or do they run the ball on 2nd down to get to the 2 minute warning?

Maybe it did matter on second thought.
