So far- its just a few

30. Mesa
29. Travis Fryman
28. Andrew Miller
27. Shin Soo Choo

just have those so far.

One year- Omar, Robbie Alomar Jr., and Fryman all won gold gloves. First time in a long time a club had the gold glove winner at 2nd, 3rd, and SS. One of, if not the best defensive infield of all time.

Mesa's 1995 season is one of the best for a closer in the last 50 years. It was unreal. In the strike shortened season he had 46 saves and a 1.13 ERA and was 2nd in the CY Young voting and 4th in the MVP voting. That is bonkers.

Omar and Robbie up the middle was just amazing baseball to watch.

You won't see a better combo up the middle as far gold glove winners. They were amazing to watch

I slept VERY well last night. Thanks, y'all for asking...

Dude, I'm happy for you. It's amazing, Pat Mahomes is probably the most likeable QB in the league...

But man, if there's not a large contingent of people going for the Bengals next week simply because his brother and fiance/wife have to be the most annoying tandem I've ever seen.

I have nothing against Mahomes, it's the POS Tyreek Hill for me. Beats his child and a show boater. There is no reason to not root for the Bengals for me other than being a division rival.

How rough was yesterday watching Josh Allen do his thing knowing that the Browns took Baker Mayfield over Allen?

Will admit that his brother is a pain in the ass...

No one's ever proven he beat his kid....

The Bears feel the same way about Mahomes...

It wasn't rough at all actually. Allen was not even close to the player he is when he was drafted. His turnaround his one of the craziest in NFL history, there is no guarantee he would be the player he is now in the Browns organization. He came from being a bad passer and bad fundamentals to being a top 3 QB in the NFL now. So really happy for the guy.

Eli Apple was shitting on the Saints and Giants fans last night like he's any good so fuck them

Browns just weren’t listening to the right people. Here’s QB guru Jordan Palmer calling Josh Allen the most talented QB he’s ever seen. Browns went with the safe and the conventional wisdom.

Jordan Palmer on Sam Darnold's and Josh Allen's progress

Jordan Palmer had the benefit of tutoring Josh Allen and Sam Darnold—both legitimate candidates to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft. Palmer dishes on how the quarterbacks have developed, both on the field and off, during their stay at his California House of QBs.

A lot of people had Josh Allen number 1 in that class.

A few others had him 4 or 5.

They were wrong.

Truth be told, watching his game, Josh Allen is everything we Eagles fans wanted Carson Wentz to be and Wentz is just not that guy.

as far as the "showboating" thing goes, well...

 

[shopson67]

Wherever they pick in the first round should definitely be an offensive line player. That titans front 7 is damn good as well

Head coach is clearly a McVay disciple (was the QB coach). Far too many empty backfields when you're getting sacked 9 times.

 

[shopson67]

Yeah 7-9 in the playoffs with about half of those losses coming at home isn't a good look for his legacy

How many of those losses came to the eventual Super Bowl champion?

 

[shopson67]

I bet Brady is done

I think he might've been if he could've walked away on top. Now, I'm not so sure.

 

[shopson67]

Have to think there is a real chance Stafford does something next week to send the Niners to the Super Bowl

Based on what? He's been clean through two weeks of the playoffs. None of the 4 turnovers yesterday were on him and he outdueled Brady (again).

SF/LA will come down to LA's rush defense IMO.

 

[shopson67]

This is the best football game I have ever seen

Have to disagree. Defense is half the game, so this could only be half of the best football game ever lol.

 

[shopson67]

Also we need to slightly change the ot rules in the playoffs. Let both teams get the ball unless the it is a defensive score

That is still contrived. Just make it an OT period, not sudden death or any finessing of such.
