Why are people surprised? Their roster is comprised of UDFA, and cheap free agent pick ups.

They pay QB, TE, LT and FS. The rest are making less then 8 million a year. Sheard was one of their highest paid guys. They are smart and never over pay.

Their biggest FA signings ended up being Chris Hogan, Chris Long and Shea Mcclellin. All cheap and helped win a super bowl
They definitely don't spend much on the running backs and receivers ( as a group)

Well the thing is players cant throw a game, and even coaches, sooner or later it would get out and nfl would never recover.
coaches are that dumb , I see it all the time.

It doesn't always have to get out.

But you're right, coaches are that dumb. We've seen it plenty right here.

Dan Quinn lost that game. Julio Jones makes a game saving catch at the 22 yard line with 5 minutes left.

All you have to do is run the ball 3 three times then kick a field goal to go up by 11. But noooo. He has to be the smartest guy in the stadium and dial up passes. Sack, holding penalty, blown opportunity.

And this guy is paid millions.

I hope Garrett watched this game and realizes you gotta keep your foot on the peddle. Keep attacking keep scoring

Until it's time to run three straight into the pile and kick a FG and win.

Which is what scares me about Garrett Amd Linehan. They'd have done the exact same thing. With Zeke on the sideline. And then not admit it was a mistake.

We may have just watched our future gentlemen.

They have the emperor. If he coached the Boys, I guarantee we win the Super Bowl next year.

Multi millionaire players and coaches throwing games is far fetched. Officials being influenced by the league to keep games interesting though....well hell it explains how inconsistent games are called.
