And like everything else in the NFL, it would end up being the same pair of "choices" every single time to the point that it wouldn't even be a true choice anymore. The optimal position and decision to play offense or defense first would be mathed out and the coaches would just be told by their statistics dept what to say.

That would be under optimal weather conditions, though, and assuming average defense/offense units. Could definitely see some tweaks depending on who your offense/QB is, etc.

You're thinking like a video game player and not someone who gets fired for 1 bad decision at the wrong time in the season. Teams will determine the "correct" answer and go with it everytime so that they can just refer to the "correct" decision when it goes bad in press conferences to cover their job. Did you read the article? They already know the exact yard line to make the offense/defense choice a break even question.

If you have Tom Brady as your QB, do you say the offensive 10 and try to get the other team to give you the ball? How about your own 5? And if Brady can't make it into field goal range from there, you get ROASTED in the press for not going with the "standard" answer.

And if you're playing against Brady, do you risk saying your own 10 to keep the ball out of Brady hands, but risk going 3 and out and giving Brady a short field after the punt? And then get ROASTED in the press for not going with the standard answer?

They have the "right answer" for going for it on 2 point tries and 4th downs, and we still see guys retain jobs for doing the obviously wrong decisions there. The biggest variability for something like this will be penalties that will either kill a drive for an offense or some big holding call/PI on the D that either converts a 1st or gives a massive yardage downfield into FG range.

Washington releases Alex Smith

Word last week was that the Washington Football Team would release Alex Smith in the near future and the time has come.

Hard to see him getting picked up else where even in a back up role, maybe as a QB coach somewhere or something if he wanted to go that way

You can see a million tits in your life, but ultimately the only ones you want to see are the ones you haven't or can't.

Yeah, porn is too easy to be exciting. I'd be more excited to see one of my high school classmates who's still in shape post a bikini pic on FB than to see Elsa Jean (who is way hotter than any of my high school classmates) with 5 dicks and a cucumber up her ass.

On the Russ thing, there might be more to it. He is supposedly not well liked by his team mates and he basically personally ran off two high quality receivers (admittedly one because the dude railed his then fiancé). Him being all Jesus Power probably does not endear him to the wokesters up there either. Dude has always rubbed his team mates the wrong way, even by QB Egomaniac standards. So I am thinking they are looking at the long term costs when they are likely having to rebuild and looking at what a pain in the ass he has been, giving them consideration that this is a good year to move on since its a feeding frenzy out there right now.

Ravens again propose a booth umpire

At a time when the NFL will be considering an expansion of replay review to include roughing the passer, the best solution to clear and obvious blunders comes not from slamming the brakes on the game for a frame-by-frame search for forcible contact with the quarterback's head (for example) but from…

It’s not replay review. It’s active officiating via TV angles. The replay process would remain, as an added level of protection against mistakes. In many cases, replay review wouldn’t even be needed, because the mistake would be caught by the booth umpire.

Yeah that is a good point. I remember reading a story somewhere about this where Sherman was upset that Wilson was being treated differently by the coaches, as in he was being coddled too much. So this would really continue down that path.

Saw this just a bit ago as well. Yes, please please please do this. With all the cameras available to them there is ZERO reason to have major misses in the games anymore.

Russ definitely went dying the hero to living to become the villain. Even as a Seahawks fan I dont care for Russ the celebrity. Once he married Ciara it was obvious how he became way more concerned with his fame and his spotlight than football. Everything he says and does is insanely cringy.

Bears are going all in on letting Russ cook in Chicago. I am not sure how they can make it work. I am torn between either Watson or Russ. Either is a huge improvement. But Russ is a fucking diva and he is more interested in building his brand.
