2020 NFL Season

[Electromatic]

Have to wonder if Aaron Rogers might have won more titles if they moved on from McCarthy earlier.

[epilogue]

I like the Saints. I love Drew Brees. I'd love to see him get one more ring. And next week should be a fun ride (a possible Super Bowl preview). We'll see what the two teams bring that contest.

But, if I'm honest, there isn't a team in the NFC that scares me against the Chiefs.

I'm hoping you see Hill next week. I worry about Brees rushing back. I'm hoping the Saints keep it close. Give me something to hope on.

That's fair about the NFC. My hopes for the Saints would basically revolve around the kind of ideas that the Giants used to beat the Pats. The defensive line and running backs having a great game. Not impossible given the talent the Saints have at both spots, but it's not enough to make me extremely confident.

I can't imagine it won't be a close game next week.

When the schedules dropped, I had the Chiefs finishing at 14-2. The second lose I had down was against The Saints. I won't be surprised if either team wins the game, really. But if they meet again in February, I'm not worried. But, hey, if the Chiefs lose and Brees gets one more ring on the way out the door (if that's the way all of this plays out) I won't be sad about it. Brees is a great player and I'd love to see him get some more hardware.

Right.

That dude is so good.

Right.

That dude is so good.

The GM Ted Thompson was a problem too. He refused to bring in high end free agent talent for years. Charles Woodson was like the one exception, and the annually maligned defense was top notch with him out there.

It became easy to pick on McCarthy (and he definitely deserved it), but you're absolutely right about Thompson.

If they match up in February, I'll be hopeful, but I'll also have low expectations. And no shame in losing to Mahomes.

Good point. I guess philosophically it makes sense because free agents are very risky, but this is the team that got Reggie White too.

Maybe it’s partly the new generation of offensive coaches and the scheme also. It’s all kind of built on the Alex Gibbs blocking system, but they seem to do an incredible job getting guys in space.

They’ve had great o-line play for a few years now, which of course is a huge part of Rodgers’ and the offense’s success. But a few high end defensive signings would’ve been nice over the years.

They’ve had success drafting and developing a DB or two, but they’d always be paired with a couple other rookies or average vets, neutralizing any secondary effectiveness. And the Smiths they have now have been the lone successful attempts to address a terrible pass rush for like the last decade. For years, they seemed to think they could trot out Clay Matthews each week and he’d take care of the pressure single handedly.

[Orpheus]

The best DB they drafted before Jaire wasn't even drafted! (Sam Shields)

[spike]

Yeah I should probably stick with developed only. Davon House tho!

Holy Crap what a game, here’s to hoping you took the over, and or that final safety didn’t hurt you.

Paul Pierce has spent the day seeing if he can sue for trademark infringement for "going to take a shit and then coming back to win the game."
