2018-19 General NFL Thread

At least after the refs totally screwed up the Rams/Saints, they called a good game for Pats/Chiefs.

Go Rams

Reid vs Belichick has to be the biggest tactical coaching mismatch of all time.

How? Reid is one of the best coaches in the league. The whole notion of him collapsing in the playoffs is so outdated and old.

He is one of the worst tactical coaches ever.  Proof being that the Chiefs are probably the most talented team in the league, by a good amount, and they got beat by a thin Patriots team.

TACTICS!

Pats -2 (opened as PK)

Very intriguing matchup in Super Bowl LIII

The old guard (Brady, the hoodie, deflated footballs, Tuck rule, et al) vs the new guard (Goff, McVay, et al)

Veteran Rams OL vs a Pats team that can be run on.

Trio of waterbug Pats RB's vs a much improved lately Rams rush defense

Rematch of the Pats' first ever Super Bowl win 17 years ago, avenge it Rams! 

Key to the game will be the Rams not letting Brady have the ball for twice as long as Goff has it.  That ultimately was the Chiefs undoing.     

Second key is the Rams having Greg the Leg, whose 57 yard Super Bowl reaching FG could have been good from 67 yards and who is pretty automatic (knock on wood).    

Third key is getting through the pre-game hype and early stages of the game.   At least it won't be deafening in Atlanta, like it was in the Superdome yesterday.    It was impressive that the Rams overcame the 0-13 1st quarter domination, and then outgained N.O. almost 2-1 the rest of the game, in spite of the crazy noise level throughout the game.

Still expect a down to the wire game.   Could be a classic.

[Slegnaac]

Interesting that all 5 Patriot losses came on the road this season.

[Blarg]

Let's hope this is a record that goes unblemished.

Updated for accuracy.

McVay should be fired for losing to such a thin team.

Hey, it was a classic DEFENSIVE struggle...Rams bend don't break until late in the game defense vs Pats swarming defense.

Expected a classic, just not a defensive one.

McVay no doubt learned so much from this Super Bowl appearance.   That first one has to create so many distractions.

Crazy how fast guys sign in the NFL and NBA compared to MLB

Beckham to the Browns for a 2019 1st round pick, 3rd round pick and Jabrill Peppers.  On paper it's not a bad move for either team as Beckham was done in NY who got him out of the NFC. 2019 could be the year the Browns take the AFC north if it all comes together and guys stay healthy.  Then again they are the browns and could just as likely implode.
