What was the Seahawk defence thinking? He was basically jogging through them.
Easiest money a man could make. I switched off partially as I need to sleep, partially as I knew it was coming.Was tempted to put money on the Panthers at 2/1 in this quarter too.
Starting to wonder if Pete Carroll has lost the teams confidence a little? Still time for them to turn it around but the margin of error has gotten pretty small.
Yeah, I think that's the biggest reason for their average start this season, especially if you look at the way they lose games. They've got a positive points differential for the first three quarters throughout this season, and something like a -31 points differential in fourth quarters, amazing really for such an experienced team.I think it is more complacency than them not trusting Caroll to be honest. They are not as hungry as they used to be.
Nah, it's variance and the natural progression of nfl teams. They are built on star players on rookie deals making less than their market value which allows for more money to be spent elsewhere. Then as those stars have to be retained, they make substantially more money and depth is lost as choices are made and other players are sacrificed.
But if that is the case, how special are NE and GB then since they seem to be going strong for years on end now.
Hit the nail on the head. Russell Wilson's big contract was a huge mistake. They could have had him play out his rookie contract, then franchise him. And franchise him again for 2017 if they wanted to.Nah, it's variance and the natural progression of nfl teams.

Their 4th quarter collapses have been a mystery. Maybe Dan Quinn was more valuable than anyone thought.Yeah, I think that's the biggest reason for their average start this season, especially if you look at the way they lose games.

The Colts are a paper tiger and have been for a while. Ryan Grigson is bad at his job. Andrew Luck has the 119th highest cap hit in the NFL and the Colts have played in the easiest division in the NFL year after year and they have nothing to show for it. What's going to happen when Luck gets his massive extension and the rest of the AFC South turns it around?
Brady is only the 15th best paid QB last time I checked. He takes a massive discount.
"Suck for Luck" was the best thing that could have ever happened to them.Agree and I still don't like them for tanking their season when Peyton was injured to get Luck
Multiple times he's restructured his contract to help the team get stronger. Handy that his wife is even richer than he is.Brady is only the 15th best paid QB last time I checked. He takes a massive discount.
Since the off-season before last he's been heavily training in mobility and speed on his own time. This is like the fastest he's ever been, and he's still slow as hell, but every extra moment means a lot, especially to a QB of his ability.Brady's been a lot more mobile this season, creating extra few seconds to make the pass. Impressive for someone who is hardly known for his mobility.
Also Jamie Collins is a beast.
Yeah, depends on what you aim for in your career of course. Duncan did it as well and Spurs are still title contenders almost every year, while Bryant didn't take a paycut and look where the Lakers are right now... I find it very odd he chose for the money contract over the possibility of another ring, especially if you consider what an ultimate competitor he is.Multiple times he's restructured his contract to help the team get stronger.
