Who would do just fine? Insurance companies? lol… I’m sure you’re right… it’s just $1.6 trillion annually. I guess they could sell property insurance in Florida to make up the difference… oh wait.

Can he bring Joey with him?

I don’t know why a coach would feel compelled to be on twitter… Nothing good comes from posting on stuff like that. “ I don’t even know what to tell my safeties.” That’s a problem to admit publicly. How about “don’t lower your shoulder into the helmet of a diving player, like the one that about knocked our best receiver out of the season.” Is that hard to say? Apparently so for Mike, now he’s unemployed. And I would go as far to say no longer employable in the national football league. He broke several unwritten rules there.

Nevermind found it. pretty sure this forum said he wouldn’t be here in 2024 after this… it’s ironic, because that’s indeed what his safeties did this year

Can someone refresh what Mike Mitchell said towards the end of season. Wasn’t there some controversy there?

This is no surprise after the report of Davis talking about not wanting to pair a rookie head coach with a rookie GM. Telesco was the only one that had GM experience.

I agree. My point was that we haven’t even seen a truly focused Steichen yet.

Probably because he’s not easily available.

The thought that keeps coming to my mind is this: How much more could we have gotten out of Shane Steichen the coach if he wasn’t juggling between coaching a team fighting for the playoffs and coaching up the 4th pick overall that is sidelined with injury? I’ve seen throughout the year people say AR is soaking up information. Always with an iPad. Always next to coach asking questions. That is a difficult situation for a rookie head coach. Coach for this year, but also prepping for the coming years by getting an injured qb up to speed. Meeting individually with him often. Maybe that is just Shane, but I can’t imagine when AR is healthy, he is spending much time with other quarterbacks…

I get what you are saying, but is Adam schefter, who largely uses social media to report his news, just pretending? Or is it more likely he has information? this came from an nfl insider… and now it’s reported that Brian Johnson is not likely returning to Philly as OC. So while it may be speculation that they will attempt to get Jim Bob, it could also be highly likely there have been discussions, which is where the reports are stemming from. It’s not like it came from a forum board or some nobody on twitter.

It said he was unresponsive and had a weak pulse when they arrived, so I would assume both in pulse rate and any sort of response could be interpreted that way. It’s a pretty vague report…

I agree. I think personnel, especially at safety has been limiting for Gus. I don't think it's ironic Ballard talked about needing to improve the safety play. I think they like Blackmon, and will look to retain him, but I see Ballard potentially being aggressive at the safety position in Free agency. I know they like Scott coming back from injury, but he's still raw. They want a veteran back there as a major upgrade.

It's speculative based on the report that Carmel police gave. It was listed by the authorities (not the media) that it was suspected overdose. He responded "slightly" to narcan, and was turning blue upon their arrival. No mention of drugs used, just speculated by authorities. Of course the Colts are going to state it was respiratory illness. If there is no definitive proof (aside from what most certainly will not be released to the media by any doctors that cared for him following the event), then they can control the narrative. The media ran with the "suspected overdose" line big time, and created their own narrative that the Colts were just doing damage control. 🤷‍♂️

Insurance makes the world go round. If insurance fails, then the dominos fall. The U.S monetary system (and a great chunk of the global system) is entirely built around a type of trust in the dollar, which is backed by the US government, which is insured, hence the insurance makes the world go round. Healthcare insurance, in my opinion, will never be "solved" in this country. The entire system is now at their mercy, and if the government tries to socialize medicine, it would fail entirely before anything new would be built. We cannot even perceive how devastating that would be. But I digress, because I don't disagree. When a licensed practitioner cannot authorize a certain exam because there are steps that insurance requires leading up to that exam, it's a real problem. To make matters worse, the backlog (especially after Covid shutdowns) of even getting into a physician, especially in specialty, causes even more issues with the said necessary steps, just to schedule an exam deemed necessary by a practitioner. In short, it's a mess.

Have seen it. My wife is a medical provider, and has strong feelings on the state of healthcare. There are a lot of suits and not enough white coats. St. Vincent Indianapolis is now controlled in St. Louis. There are bean counters in Missouri telling the doctors in Indiana how to practice medicine.

Painkillers are vastly overprescribed. I once received an addiction-inducing amount by a urologist after I had a kidney stone. I took maybe two and disposed of the remainder, as they weren't needed. The next urologist I went to gave me one on my next encounter... One. Some doctors are just out of their minds when it comes to overprescribing pain medication.

im not sure he’s making many decisions. He may be have a drug issue, but he’s not dumb. His daughters have been heavily involved, even representing the team in various capacities at nfl meetings. He granted Ballard full control over the hiring process last offseason, so there is no mistaking or debating who was responsible for the hiring of Shane Steichen. The only decision that is apparent that he made was the firing of Frank Reich and hiring of Jeff Saturday, and it’s hard to argue it didn’t lead to a successful offseason transition, which it was intended for. We can even debate if Saturday didn’t establish a new identity/culture of accountability in his short time here. Offensive line flipped a switch at the end of last season and played pretty dang good this season. im not worried about Irsay’s involvement. He owns the team, he has a capable team (including his daughters and longstanding executives like Pete Ward) in place to continue operations without him being involved.

Mahomes just about got hit in the dome. ducking and covering his head to get out of there.

tough. they are going to walk into an even tougher afc next year, imo.

Couple great games today. Kicking game lost overtime opportunities for the Bills and Packers this weekend. Tough to swallow. going to be a fun conference championship weekend

I see little chance it isn’t addressed in some form this offseason.

I thought of this as well. Kelce was as instrumental on that play as Hurts was. Not to mention if the league does away with it.
