 NYC is supposed to be able to view the eclipse at about 90%.

Next one is in about 50 years from this one.

Does "still trying to win" mean he thought they might make the playoffs?

"Still trying to win" for the sake of winning when you know you have zero chance of actually contending and almost zero chance of the playoffs, instead of investing in your future during a throwaway season, sounds so absurdly foolish.

Also if what he said is true, why did they trade Leo?

Makes no sense.

Big Blue Huddle / Three Headed RB
Last post by Philosophers - March 27, 2024, 07:31:21 PM
I must say I liked a 3 RB committee with each offering something different.  Then if one goes down to injury, still have 2 in rotation.

Would we go back to that under Dabs?

What RB type is Eric Gray?

Quote from: uconnjack8 on March 27, 2024, 02:37:47 PMThe guy has played 9 games since 2020 with two big injuries, no thanks.  Further, when you look at his stats keep in mind 1) he has played in a gimmicky offense that helps RBs 2) has played behind one of the top 10 (probably better for run blocking ) OLs in the NFL. 

The combination of less around him and playing 9 games in 3 years has me feeling like the team should pass. 

Good info.  Didnt know all that.  Pass.

Quote from: H-Town G-Fan on March 26, 2024, 10:17:22 AMIt actually promotes kickoff returns. Kickoff returns are fun. I'm certainly interested in giving the rule a shot this year instead of the new pro forma of every kick go out the back of the endzone.

This was my reaction too.

I don't know if this new format will work well, but the current setup is terrible. Kickoffs are basically meaningless now. I'd love to see returns come back.
