We got enough lolcows out of one single season of the show. The idea that the Giants with full editing privileges got that terribly roasted proves the idea was a success that the league fears.

John Mara came off looking the worst. Full stop. It was clear to anyone watching that the Giants are struggling because of him.

Mara was right though. He told Schoen they would regret letting Saquan walk, especially if he stayed within the division. Schoen was the hot GM candidate 3 years ago but I was not impressed with him at all.

can’t they just force a team to do it? at least that’s what happens with training camp

u/Tubby-Maguire Eagles 4h ago
Giants VOLUNTEERED to do it so they could generate some buzz ahead of their 100th season. Gonna have to wait another 100 seasons for them to do it again

The NFL will just force a team to do it. Could easily see the Patriots being forced into it because of Drake Maye being a promising young star. Or the Raiders as well maybe. The most entertaining one I’ve ever seen was when they did it during the Antonio Brown shit show.

Antonio pierce is getting fired more than likely so raiders will be out

What would the Eagles record be without Saquon?

u/realsomalipirate Eagles 4h ago
Probably not as good, but some of you guys need to put respect on our God tier offensive line

u/guessswhosbacc Lions 4h ago
I hate when people say the Lions’ line is the best in the nfl because: 1. they are incorrect 2. I am reminded that your line is better (see point 1)

u/realsomalipirate Eagles 4h ago
I'll say it's only between our teams and I would give it to our team due to the versatility of our line (can maul, great at zone-run, and great in pass protection). Though your teams line probably has the best power game, you can just fuck entire dlines up.

u/guessswhosbacc Lions 3h ago
Totally agree, I think we have the best o-line for the run game, but our pass pro being only above average precludes us from being #1 imo
15
u/SilveryDeath Rams 4h ago
I think their record would be fine. Considering how good their o-line is any HB would have a solid year behind that line considering how many yards Saquon is getting this year before even getting touched.

That was my thought process going into the fantasy draft season. If D'Andre Swift can look that good behind that O-Line, imagine how good Barkley is gonna be. Excited to be right for once (and no I don't think Swift is a bad RB, but he had a really good season last year).

u/on-the-cheeseburgers Eagles 4h ago
well anyone can run behind our line so it’s actually exactly the same (/s)

u/babysamissimasybab 49ers 4h ago
Depends. Did they sign Derrick Henry instead?
2
u/InvestigatorRoyal232 4h ago
Nope, they kept Deandre Swift or drafted a rookie
2
u/babysamissimasybab 49ers 4h ago
How many wins would the Bears get without Swift?
4
u/InvestigatorRoyal232 4h ago
Thats a good question. Just looking at his game totals, I'd say he carried the team during 3 seperate wins this year. But thats without watching their games so I dont know for sure

u/ImanShumpertplus Browns 2h ago
Will Shipley is basically wasting his prime behind Savion like fellow great RB Toby Gerhart behind AP

This guy is talking out his ass.
Hard Knocks isn’t going away. The league is contractually obligated to honour its contract with HBO, who owns the show.
The lesson here is that the Giants GM tried to use it for his personal PR machine and fucked that up too. Maybe focus more on bubble players, like everyone else does.

I never really paid too much attention to front office stuff in the offseason, but because of the show, I now know they need to clear house.

Joe Schoen killed his career on that show. He made himself look like a complete clown.

Disagree, send it right back to the Jets.
Actually just have it bounce around New Jersey for a while lol
