@thunderc thoughts on going for 2?
Easy to criticize for certain, I guess it could be said that having Jackson at qb gives you an advantage in that spot, but he got rushed and threw a bad pass. I don’t get it, with the bengals losing they had a chance to really cement their position. In the end I think having the best fg kicker in the league should keep you from ever doing that.

Extremely disappointing performance from Georgia.

If Michigan win then the playoffs is set but seeding will be very interesting but my guess is they'll make Bama #1 and drop Georgia to #3
Not surprising. UGA hasn't really played anyone. At the time they played Clemson, it was beginning of the season and Clemson was ranked #2. It's clear as day that Clemson is not the 2nd ranked team in the nation. Kirby is lucky he has the biggest financial support in recruiting. It's easy for him to beat up on teams because 90% he always has a talent advantage. When the talent advantage is a push, he chokes.

Looks like OU is going with Brent Venables and it appears that Ole Miss offensive coordinator Jeff Lebby will be coming over. Solid OU like choice.
Yes the entire marching band is at the airport waiting on him to land lol

I've reversed my thoughts on Venables. He's going to be the guy you need to traverse through the SEC. I think he'll do good.

We have been soft plain and simple, that will change quickly. Getting a young offensive coordinator is mandatory though, Lebby would hopefully be a good choice.

I want the Saints to draft that Pitt QB then a WR in round 2. Make the right picks there then we are back on track hopefully

I take the other side.

Easy to criticize because it didn’t work.

But, Harbaugh was playing to win and playing the percentages.

OT is a 50-50 proposition and the Steelers seemed to have the edge and game flow on their side in the 2nd half.

Ravens had a play they liked, and I believe they score on that play more than 50% of the time.

I like the call, like the decision, but it didn’t work.

I don't think the difference between the Browns this year and last is as big as it seems. The biggest difference is the health of their qb and most importantly, their schedule. When you draw NE and Arizona as two of your non structured scheduled teams that could be the difference between playoffs or not.

Yes I can understand this point of view. Jackson is going to have to come through at some point or the Ravens are going to have to do something different.

True.

The Raiders have had a brutal schedule also.

hard to win when your qb is only leading the offense to a measley 15 points
You talk a lot of shit but if you put Carr on the Saints....they are one of the better teams in the NFC.

The Saints have had some of the worst QB'ing in the League this season with Semen and Hill.

True but Saints are so good otherwise that they can be fine with a mediocre Qb
