Hugh speaking the truth here.
I think that is one reason why the win in the playoffs so easily. They don't really have to try too hard during the regular season so they are more "fresh" than other teams.

That's actually kind of interesting to me because Boston fans are so hardcore.
I'm super interested honestly - is it because if I was a sports fan I'd have it made? Not just football, we've been dominant across all four sports but mostly football and baseball obviously. It bothers my dad immensely that I just let this all pass me by because he's a huge sports fan and I honestly couldn't give two shits about any of it. It's like a huge bummer to most of my family because through all the World Series, Superbowls, Stanley Cups, etc, I don't show up and just do my own thing.
I'm asking sincerely just because it pisses my family off so much. That's what I always figured but I guess I could be wrong.
Jets had a couple good years at the start of the Sanchez era, and Dolphins had one good one with Chad Pennington. Pretty fucking sad those would almost assuredly be the three best teams in the Brady era for a rival. Peyton Manning and Steelers/Ravens were the only AFC contenders in the era too.
If you are thinking surely someone else in the AFC in the Brady era... it's the Raiders... that's how long ago.
Ach, are you asking why it bothers your family that something they all love, connect over and share together is something you don’t a give a shit about? Well, maybe they want to share it with you too?
I don't think so? I think I'm asking that if it's annoying that if I were a sports fan I'd be spoiled as fuck the last two decades and if that's annoying. Like I'm guessing if you were from here and were a Boston fan across all four sports you'd be pumped. I think that's what pisses people off. Because like I said, if I were a sports fan I could talk endless shit so I'm (genuinely) asking if it's annoying that I have zero appreciation for what's happened here since around 2000.
Again, it’s something other people are passionate about. If you want people to respect the fact that you don’t care about it, you need to respect the fact that they do. It’s that simple.
That makes sense. Thank you for being cool about it Hugh. I feel kind of dumb for not being more self aware about it. I appreciate you not being a dick. I apologize if I was annoying.
Any time, Ach, and don’t sweat it. We can just be honest with each other about shit like this, which is pretty cool.
OOOOO
This recent string of posts has made me wanna do a big ass post to find out teams kinda All Star team during the Brady era. So like you might have a 2001 RB, but a 2018 QB or whatever. Just to see how insane some teams would be and how trash some teams still would be.

If I'd have seen this and only this I'd have guess the Texans were the best team closely followed by the Colts with the Jaguars and Titans significantly behind the other two.
If Oakland wins the "tuck rule" game, how does NFL history change?
Rams trade Marcus Peters, a 26 year old all pro corner, then trade 2 first round picks and a 4th for Jalen Ramsey, a 24 year old all pro corner in the last year of his rookie deal.
Alrighty then...
it's because Marcus Peters is a massive liability in man coverage, and that's Ramsey's strength. They wanna run man.
also Peters is crazy. Shoulda gotten more than a 5th for him though
Doesn’t mean shit coming from me but I think it’s a bad move, now and for the future.
Also, NFL refs are fucking garbage and ruining the game. I’ll say it again, they are the worst and most inept professionals that’s exist in any field. We have the technology to get this shit right most of the time.
Fix this shit, Goodell, you fucking retarded meat puppet. Fix it.
Thank you Hugh. This made me question if my asperger diagnosis to the point that I scheduled an appointment with my doctor. I appreciate you being honest without being an asshole. I don't get this stuff and always thought I was under-diagnosed and basic social situations are deeply confusing to me. This was actually really eye opening to hear. Sorry again if I came across as a jerk, I'm genuinely terrible at this stuff at the most fundamental level.
I’ve kind of suspected that for a long time man and it’s okay.
I obviously don’t know your family or any of the friends you say you don’t talk to anymore, but my guess is that they probably care about you and would like to find a way to reconnect with you somehow. Maybe you don’t want that, or maybe you have absolutely no fucking idea how to do it, but maybe it’s worth trying to figure out.
I think it's a terrible move for the future. I'm not sure it's so awful for now, but I do question the timing of it. Mostly just glad Ramsey didn't go to Philly.
Marcus Peters was only All-Pro in a zone scheme where he could sit back and watch the QB and try to jump routes. You'll see it sometimes when he makes big plays (he's made a few this year). But he also gets absolutely torched a lot because he likes to jump routes. So he's pretty much a boom-or-bust proposition - he's gonna give up long ass TDs but he's also gonna give you some takeaways. Jalen Ramsey on the other hand is rarely going to give up any TDs but is still going to make plays and take the ball away. Personally I don't think Peters is a top 10 CB overall in this league while Ramsey is probably top 3 or 4.
That said... definitely an awful move for the future. Rams were already in win-now mode, and it's even more evident now. But I'm not sure it's the right move when you're 3-3 and the offense looks broken because the O Line can't block and your former All Star running back can't play, which is now exposing your middling QB
Good move for the Jaguars though. Dump your disgruntled star for several high picks. If the Rams continue to be mediocre, those picks will actually be pretty decent too, unlike late 1st rounders which are often more just like 2nd rounders.
Fuck everything.
I wonder if Mahomes is out long enough that the Raiders in some extreme long shot have a real shot at winning the AFC west this year
Mahomes will be out three weeks.
I wonder who was on the cover of Madden this year....and who was on it last year...
My god Rogers lit up the Raiders today. Ouch.
Vikings are finally opening up the offense. Took them long enough. You don’t pay Cousins that kind of money to hand the ball off every play.
Colts seem fine without Luck. The league has already forgotten him.
Dolphins are still the shittiest of the shitty but there are some really shitty teams I did not expect to be this shitty. Like the Falcons and Bengals. Wow are they bad.
Crap
I didn't expect that Ravens win Hugh.
Me neither.
Don’t think Lamar Jackson will last playing this way but for now he’s really hard to stop.
Can the jets just be kicked out of the league now?
I mean they might as well. Pats get easy wins from them anyways so just save some time and not play them.
Seahawks have put together the ugliest 6-2 record I can remember. I mean Russ is playing MVP level no doubt. The offense looks good. But we find a way to make it ugly even when we have a 1-6 Atlanta team, playing without Matt Ryan for the first time in 10 years, down 24-0 at half. We let Matt where the fuck has he been the last 5 year Shaub come all the way back and make it a nail biter. I don’t get it.
I lol'd because I know where he's been the last 5 years. Was with the Raiders 5 years ago, then the Ravens then 3 years as Ryan's backup. Lol'd because of how fucking worthless some of my football knowledge is but then I don't know some actually relevant shit.
I remember he was actually an ok level starter until one year he threw a pick 6 in like 3 or 4 games in a row and then the league decided ok this guy's a backup
And he is, but a pretty decent one
lol Cincy.
Bet Mantis is going nuts. Good.
Man ... I did not realize they were 0-8. What has happened to them? Week 1 they nearly beat the Seahawks in Seattle, how do they not have a win?
Also, lol Dolphins. They looked like they might do something special tonight, but they have 0 points since the 1st quarter and have given up 24 straight. Allowed a touchdown at the end of the half on a 3rd and 20 because they decided to rush everyone and leave the middle of the field so wide open I could have picked up the 1st down. Their 2nd half possessions are INT, DOWNS, FUMBLE, 56 yards gained.
uh... look at Joe Mixon's stats for a fast and easy way to see what's wrong with the Bengals lol.
W1: 6 rushes 10 yards
W2: 11 rushes 17 yards
W3: 15 rushes 60 yards
W4: 15 rushes 62 yards
W5: 19 rushes 93 yards (this was a narrow loss to the bad Cardinals)
W6: 8 rushes 10 yards
W7: 10 rushes 2 yards
W8: 17 rushes 66 yards
minus the Cardinals game he averages 2.8 ypc, their line is poop
Bengals Dolphins game of the year.
