January General CBB Discussion Thread (Non-BE)

Houston was written off a bit prematurely when they underperformed at the Players Tourney. I know this is a home blowout over a bad team, but they look the part of a contender. Maybe we’ll know more when they hit a little three-game gauntlet in February: at Iowa State, home for Arizona, at Kansas.

They were always going to find their way back into the mix - that is a talented team with a very good coach. Fleming is a top ten pick, Uzan, Tugler and Sharp are strong carryovers from last years team. Cenac is also a really highly ranked frosh who took some time. Samson said earlier in the year that it was going to take time to get this group to figure it out. They'll be right there. I'm piqued to see the battle for the B12. ISU looks like they're already opting out a bit, BYU took a blow this weekend to. My guess is that it's between AZ and Houston.

I offered you a bet that you would have been able to put in the bank 2 weeks later, and you choked. Nice work.

Glad to know I'm not the only one on here that pisses you off. It's not me, it's you. 🤣

Yeah what you described just happened in the Texans game. the wr caught the ball and as he was falling down the defender ripped it away but the wr was ruled down by contact. But we’ve never seen what happened last night before. The broncos defender had both his hands on the ball before the wr went down and then the defender popped up with it. It all happened in one fluid motion.

Bears player just took it away from the Rams receiver, no "football move" knee down. Make it all up as you go along.

Diff on that one seemed to be Adams had an official catch before his knee went down. Separate note, have the Pats had these playoffs gift wrapped? Herbert, Stroud and now Stidham? Wild.

Oh, Swift had to feel that ground contact. Ouch.

I like all three NFC QBs for different reasons (Rams/Bears isn't over yet). But I think Caleb would be the most difficult matchup for the Pats. Just seems he's never out of the game regardless how crappy he played the first 50 minutes. One of the best improvisers at his age I can recall.

Question is / will the NFL do what they can to keep Denver out of the SB? Not sure anyone wants to see a backup QB out there.

As a wise man once said, you want it to be one way, but it’s the other way.
