Sorry to do this but this has nothing to do with “out schemed.” Pat runs up to the line, correctly points out the blitzer, and 5 of the 6 blockers have everyone accounted for. The newest OL makes an error and pushes through the DE when he shouldn’t. How is that “out schemed”??
show overload to one side, mug up Center, send blitz late on the side opposite the overload, and win.

just out schemed. simple, really.

earmuffs here but I love the passionate rant against #nfl officiating/rules

This sounds like @BarstoolGruden in one of our old MNF production meetings, right @Zeek4040?

Andy Reid talked about #chiefs getting beat in all three phases. This was not coachspeak.

Looking at @TruMediaSports, Seattle's 20-3 win is first time a Reid-coached team was -4.5 EPA or worse in each phase: OFF, DEF, ST

TruMedia data reaches to 2000. @nflfastR has since 1999 and an #eagles loss that year to Carolina might qualify.

That's the only comp for this defeat in Reid's head coaching career.

An undefeated team dominated completely

Would ownership even green-light Cousins return?

Don’t think Herbert is going anywhere

This fanbase is funny sometimes. Do people really actually truly think the Vikings are going to dump Kyler Murray (after being 6-0 lmfao) and trade capital for Kirk Cousins or Justin Herbert???

Like come on people, have a brain. It's ride or die with Murray whether people like in his pick six, even states this.

Browns/Steelers atop AFC North. Giants lead NFC East. Vikings lead NFC North at 6-0.

We tackle it all in Pick Six column, which thinks this guy looks familiar 👇👇👇

My mentions are open for apologies for all the people angrily telling me I was wrong to suggest the story we were told Wednesday/Thursday smelled fishy. Yes, there’s way more going on than the nice and tidy “simple” medical story they told us.
Before he was placed on IR, #Chiefs LT Josh Simmons was told to leave a team meeting by coach Andy Reid and QB Patrick Mahomes.

Breakfast casserole belongs on the lunch menu. 330 eggs, housemade sausage and a cheesy potato crust. I ate this during my 12 years in the NFL. This batch went to the students at my school.

This one hits hard. Pete Banaszak helped the Raiders to two Super Bowls, scored 2 SB TDs in SB XI and still has the most single season rush TDs in franchise history with 16. #rip Pete. Enjoy reuniting with Snake, Madden and the rest.

Hoping he will play
Other than obfuscation/misdirection, what's the point of the Ravens giving Lamar Jackson 3 limited practices this week just to rule him out on Friday?

This is outstanding. Some of the best football stories I’ve ever heard were about the headset banter, and a few of them are actually included (Andy/Lovat/Holmgren and JJ/Rivera). I love when niche topics or random aspects of the game are explored like this.
For a year, @SandoNFL and I dove into what actually goes on in an NFL headset, and the vast networks that make every play possible - hidden in plain sight.

Then, the best visuals team in the world made it tangible.

A project unlike any you’ve seen: nytimes.com/athletic/inter…

Great job by #Bears draining play clocks, and then Caleb Williams going OB only after 2M warning.

Then Vrabel does what he's done for years, the intentional penalty to allow a first down, when it helps save him a timeout.
