If you read the police investigation details... they had cameras in the place recording the activities and then were stopping people after they left.

The prosecutor in florida is not going to make this kind of potential shit storm hit his desk without pretty solid stuff. The police investigation (which is not part of the naming of kraft) gives a pretty detailed look into what evidence the police had been gathering.

https://ewscripps.brightspotcdn.com/74/98/64c708b942ac9a24ed0e40f57db0/hua-pc.pdf

The latter part of that is a uber exaggeration.

This is just about a podunk rub & tug operation that yes... had 'trafficking' in that they had people they were bringing in and housing, etc.. but don't make this out to be some Kraft running an empire or something.

He got caught up in a investigation into rub & tug massage parlors.

Yeah, but at the end of the day... these were strip mall asian massage palors giving hand jobs from 50+yr old asian ladies... that's not really suit and tie kind of environment.

Its like Tiger Woods getting busted with the fat ugly waitress or whatever she was... the guy could have anything in the kingdom on a whim.. with discretion... and he goes trailer trash. Just perplexing

Just watch him after the superbowl... he's been aging like crazy lately. I wouldn't be suprised if he just hands the team over to his family to run and he fades back a little.

The man no longer looks and sound great for his age - I doubt he fights much.

Carefully worded... they said 'they found no evidence to support..' - but didn't come out and say Garrett was lying either. It's basically them saying "we can't confirm nor deny"... but they didn't take Garrett's view over Rudolf's.

The NFL is not the union... The NFLPA is the union.. and they aren't the ones making the statement about film and mic evidence.

The pats success has not come solely on the back of brady. Their success year after year after year has come from the coaching staff ability to game plan and prepare the team. The reason they continued to be feared every year is not Brady. It's Bill's ability to neturalize the strengths of the other teams and the patriot's consistency to perform deep in the season no matter who the team makeup seems to be. They've created top players over and over again. This is not a Brady-or-done program. They've proved it repeatedly.. including this year.

I still think Brady will pull the suprise retirement after this year.

overnight? You're talking about a team that finished 2018 with 6 straight losses. In a period where Cam couldn't throw the ball downfield at all anymore. He's had his shoulder operated on in 2017, and 2018.. and his comeback in 2019 was questioned... followed by a foot injury that put him out for the season. This is not the kind of situation you can build a team around as your rock.

It's 4 years past their super bowl run and his big play... since then he's been nagged by injuries and really shouldn't have been playing for the last 1.5 seasons. That's a long time for your franchise.. and uncertainty for the future.

I hope you were being sarcastic

Big distortion of the situation...

I bet the league fines them for failing to properly train/police the people under their responsibility but it doesn't go any further than that. I really doubt there is nefarious stuff on the tape.

This scenario required the home team to be complacent in letting the Pats do something... so its not like it's under the radar... and why would you start doing it now.. and verse the worst team in the league?

Doesn't pass the sniff test.

Because
- why start now? Where is the noise about the Pats doing something similar earlier in the season from every other team that would have credentialed them in?
- why against the worst team in the league? When it floors you.. you may consider if its really accurate..
- if it were true as a program, there would be a whole treasure trove of existing evidence to find as well (like there was last time..)

It requires a moon shot to make this even worth the time to the Pats... which is probably why it's not worth it to them.

Because saying the sidelines were filmed, could still mean many different things. Where they filming the field, which included the sidelines? Where they filming a person of specific interest?

Admitting they filmed the sidelines is significant because it's what is prohibited by the rules - it is not in itself significant to admitting what was done and why.

Newsflash: The headcoach doesn't do the signals. Nor in most teams is he even part of the playbook scheme. So the Bengals having a new HC isn't really relevant.

Instead the narrative requires the Pats to do this against the worst team in the league.. but not others. That doesn't even make sense.

Because you need to listen to the subject at hand... SCOUTING. You don't scout your own team.. you scout the others. And every team sends staff to watch upcoming opponents. This isn't new or even against the rules.

Again.. no.

Do you not even hear that tagline played at the end of every football game where the announcer reads the statement about reuse or broadcast of any of the game or the show is prohibited without consent of the NFL?

Broadcasting it doesn't make anything public domain...

So every team... but the browns is in on the scheme. Since no one else chimed in and said "wait a minute.. we let that guy in too..." ?

Or you think the patriots just started doing this.. in week 14... and this was the first time?

Domt take the injury reports as b&w gospel... especially this late in the season. They have to report when people miss practice... but its not always as severe as listed. Sometimes they are just resting people.

Sorry - the idea of 'tainted history' in sports predates your attempt at making this a PC thing.

Pete Rose...
OJ...
Mark McGwire...
Black Sox...

The idea of an 'asterix' is a notion from the 90s at least.

and many others.. which is why he's such a news item of late.

I spent 6 seconds making that list. Feel free to expand it to continue to disprove your own point.

This was very timely given the discussion earlier

https://bustedcoverage.com/2019/12/09/patrick-mahomes-mistreated-by-patriots-fans-had-to-be-moved-to-safe-space/

That was really the first time he tried to play running QB in relief.. and it just exposes just how much LJ makes it look easy.

Ron's cites are poorly out of context. The SF game was a windy rainy day. The NE game was not a huge passing game plan. Plus.. his stats were wrong. In the NE game his QBR was 77.8 (Brady was 53!).. his rating was 107! In the SF game, he struggled, and it was his second lowest outting of the year. But that is also against the other top team in the entire league.

This is the QB with the most passing TDs in the league.. two games with perfect passer ratings... two games with 5 TDs... he has the second highest rating for the season.. has not had a multi-interception game since week 5... while during that stretch has played 7 of the league's best teams.. and made jokes out of 3 them.

Yes the Baltimore success is a team formula.. and yes LJ benefits from it. But anyone who thinks he hasn't come around as a passer is just not watching the games. He has more TDs inside the pocket than outside as well.

The Ravens staff should get the MVP for the guts to build an entire formula... 3 TEs.. FB.. RB.. running QB.. and blocking WRs that all work together.. and then magically next play turn into a team with huge catching TEs, lightning fast WRs, and a QB that doesn't throw INTs or get sacked.

mi.jpg

The bigger problem is keeping all this intact.

When you just have 2-3 pieces to protect for your special sauce... it's easier. But here, it is the synchronization of so many parts that makes it work so well. The OC, 3 strong TEs, strong RBs, decent line, and the QB. All with a commitment to the model.

The Ravens are lucky that only Ingram is a FA flight risk right now... but the OC could easily be taken away.. or a series of injuries could derail any one of those components. Basically the idea that it's a system, means there are that many more pieces that could get lost.

No, I'm from MD.. and specifically all my family is from Baltimore But as you've noticed from your trips down here.. traffic is ass.. so I moved to VA 21yrs ago to be closer to work. And yes, Redskins HQ is just around the corner..

I've liked they kept RGIII as he should be such a similar fit to the offense.. but man.. last night was the worst yet when it comes to them being able to keep the run game going to burn clock when he comes in. Didn't like the play calling at all... RGIII has never been the same runner since Ngata blew him up.

Last year was night and day for LJ. Even through the pre-season.. people (including me) seriously doubted if he would improve enough to be a functional passer in the league. He was flight-y, he did not read-defenses pre-snap at all, his pocket presence was poor, his accuracy was bad. When SD changed their personel group, they were able to contain him, the pass rush was successful with only 4 guys, and LJ was still so green he wasn't able to overcome. So when we spent our big draft pick on a flashy reciever... it was like 'why??? we don't throw!'

Then in the offseason... he worked on things and now it's night and day. When he moves in the pocket, its deliberate and into space, he is reading the defense and finding the open routes, his throwing consistency has improved 2x, and the team can now shift on a whim between power running, WR flash, big TE catching, or a running QB.

It's the single most dramatic off-season change I've ever seen. And the guy only started less than half the season in 2018.

Everyone heard the coaches talking about 'changing the game' in the offseason.. but most thought it was bravado ... but little did we know it was the whole staff committing to this scheme. And it's working.

The view above my desk... been that way for years

A299CF37-468E-41F6-BC1E-9F002039CFDF (resized).jpeg

(Thats a cal ripken wheates box behind the stuff too)

It wasnt this season... that is an article from last season about when the team faltered in the playoffs.. and LJ was the true rookie starter over a healthy flacco. The team was completely flat and couldnt throw the ball.. while we had a guy on the bench thta was known for his arm.

It’s a really desperate attempt at digging up dirt and used out of context

Pats 24 bengals 10

Jay Glazer gets portion of video shot by patriots crew (its actually video from the bengals security as they intervened with the crew)

https://twitter.com/FOXSports/status/1206265478596816896

The optics of it all, even if innocent... are horrible. I don't see how this could be about 'signals' given what they were filming.. but it stinks none the less.

my god.. remember when if a team threw over 40 times people thought things were broken??

28 attempts is plenty for a normal game. You don't need 35+ attempts to exercise a QB... that's more like "here is an unbalanced team that sits on their QB's shoulders"

And if we look at the last 20 years... Dallas is simply 3-8 in playoffs... and never making it past the divisional round. You're just using all time history to try to whitewash what has been a slump for almost 25 years.

TL:DR - they haven't done jack since 1995.

It's like Steeler fans pointing to the 70s about why they will win next week. You're talking generations ago... no one cares.

Notice I said the 70s.. but if we want to compare notes, Ravens have been to 2 SB in that period and won them both . And overall 15-9 in that period.. and 'one and done' only 3 times out of 11 appearances in the period. I think those are respectable stats.

Again.. 3-8 including SIX!! one-and-done appearances. And only twice did they win the division.

No one hands out trophies for just making it to the post-season.. and Dallas has gone a generation of being known for CHOKE ARTISTS when they get there.

Pointing out the 2019 finish just shows how low the standards have become... everywhere else we'd call that 'skating in'.. but it's an accomplishment in your mind.

Did you miss what channel monday night football has been on for the last few years? Or where thursday night has been moving around?

They were a team favored to make the big dance the final year until the move news happened. They were 11-5 the year before. They were a team on the rise under his leadership. And the ravens won the superbowl just 4 years later with much of the staff he setup.

What youd hear from the browns fans is “what should have been...” - not how awful bill was.

Ooops...

lol.. do you want a 'let me google that for you link'?

Mayfield's antics are plain for all to see.. we don't even need a yourplayersaredirtbags.com site to accumulate it for us.

Well, in that case, can you remember the perfect record of not winning the SB when they weren't the first round bye.

I get the idea of needing a veteran to establish a foundation after a shit storm... but these guys are never going to get you to the promised land. I mean, JDR again?

They need to get back to the ways of allowing players and coaches to develop... and once they are developed, really take a deep look at what their upside really is.

The key is to have something to build upon. The Giants had their family ownership there hands on to establish the creedo of how things would be and should be. That's what Cleveland really needs... is a foundation to build it's culture and identity upon. And then hire a GM and HC to live and breathe that.. and give them the time to build that into a reality.

If they can't spell out what they want their team to be.. besides 'good'.. they are going to keep this cycle of start/stop/reboot for years to come.

I found it hysterical that at the press conference all bill b wanted to talk about was *this* game when ever other game all he wants to say is *we are looking ahead to XYZ*

I wish the press would fry him. His schtick is old and hypocritical.

The guy has been made of glass... this is not a 'one hit' thing. You can't be a great QB from the inactive list.

https://dailysnark.com/saints-fans-throw-stuff-at-referees-as-they-come-off-the-field-following-playoff-loss-to-vikings

That kind of hand shuffling is going on all the time. While the defender's upper body moved form it.. the receiver didn't get new separation from it. It's the usual hand checking that goes on all the time... this time the defender got turned from it a bit, but isn't really all the material. It falls into the 'no call' bucket.

my take... wentz was already going to the ground as part of the tackle before Clowney committed. It was unnecessary and I think he was trying to put a hurt on the running QB. He didn't try to wrap him up... wentz was already tackled... and he was just trying to get a free hit while he was still up.

The type of tackle he added to the mix is what it makes more egregious IMO. If Clowney started before Wentz was being tackled it was one thing... but clearly he was already on his way to the turf when Clowney coiled up and went to lunge.

It's like all the free hits on RGIII during the steelers game... everyone knew what was up.. even if it was within the boundaries of the rules.

yeah seriously.. when they had to call McCown in I was like 'srly... that's the best your GM can do?'. They have no one to blame but themselves for not being better prepared in that spot. But like you said.. as depleted as they were, they were never going anywhere anyway.

That was just the NFC East mandatory sacrifice to the Hunger Games.

No, not like 90% of all plays.

I mean watch it.. he actually dives DOWN because Wentz is already going to the ground. I don't really care about the helmet hit.. that's all incidential to me. I think the hit alone was unnecessary and was a cheap shot.

Diving with his head/shoulder.. on a much smaller player.. on a player already falling to the ground below you.. and trying to drive them into the ground. It was all just an attempt to get a hard hit on the QB. DEs/LBs don't need to throw their body to try to tackle a QB like smaller CBs do to tackle RBs etc.

I think that explanation has a lot of merit and very well could be what happened.

It's not that greed is king - it's that players know their career is always one moment away from being over and the average player doesn't play for even 4 years. So they are incentivized to get paid 'now' because there won't be a tomorrow for the vast vast majority of them.. and even the great players are not guaranteed that next contract either due to injury risks. When you factor that in, players tend to have one shot for the big payday now.

No one gets a great salary bump for playing great that year.. only what they had negotiated in their deal. So players and agents know... it's a dog eat dog world.

The salary cap is there to ensure some level of de-escalation between owners. They don't want the Yankee or Red Sox situation where some teams just dump money for a 'win at any cost' situation. They also have more profit sharing between teams.

If anything I think the rookie contract deal is the one that serves owners the most... the vets totally threw the rookies to the wolves to ensure they wouldn't be squeezed out by big rookie deals that were going no where.

you guys seriously gave that more than 10 seconds of thought... the guy pumping yourteamcheats.com forever... over repeat sources on twitter like adam schefter or Ian Rapoport? Come on...

They do have cameras everywhere... but cameras can't make up for how the bodies and ball position obscured by the players.

Replay is not about 'extrapolation' - it's about checking if there is clear evidence to change the call as it was made. If it is not 'incontrovertible visual evidence' then the play will 'stand as called'. Extrapolating and inferring are not the clear indication that replay is checking for. So in the case of ball position... they gotta see the ball, and they have to see it relative to indications that are clear.

Personally, I thought he was short... but the akward position of the tackler, the player, and the way he was tucked up made it difficult to spot the ball on video. That's why the play wasn't 'confirmed' but simply allowed to stand.

Yes, it's stupid how they try to make it a game of inches when the majority of the time they can't get anywhere near that kind of precision. Just play by the yard markers.

ditto!

Vince Young... Leinart... Manziel... Tebow... Mariota...

I mean QBs are pretty much the lead reason for the rookie contracts in the current CBA. And it's the riskiest proposition to start a green rookie QB vs develop them. Yet everyone loves to look at a successful college QB as if its going to turn their team around immediately.

Yet nearly every top NFL QB struggled early... developed.. and many were not the 'best' QB coming out of college.

Well everyone is trying to figure out how to fix the broken thing... when they are handcuff'd with those huge contracts.

AB was unstable at the start of his pro career too... not just now. It's just more extreme and in the open now. I think the guy is just straight up bi polar or something far worse and without the bubble around him now its just spiraling down.

When you listen to him 'discuss' things, it's like a child... like he never had to be an adult.

Great game. The difference was when they let Mahomes get mobile to deal with the 49ers pass rush. Sitting in the pocket wasn't working even against a 4 man rush. Mahomes was really off early... was fearing it would end up like Lamar, playing well below their potential. Especially when they didn't have the breakout second quarter which is their calling card. When SF put a 5th man into the rush.. it was a bloodbath.

The KC D getting those stops in the 4th quarter was amazing. I was cheering for the JimmyG "put it on his back" moment so it would all come crashing down. He played solid, but I didn't buy into the hype. The 49ers lived and died by their ability to push the QB with only 4 guys.. and when they don't shut a team down with that, they are vulnerable. Ravens beat them up by blowing up that part of their game. The KC linemen were getting beat awful, and it wasn't until they countered by Mahome's feet and ability to break tackles that the tide turned.

I was wondering if they would make a bold choice for MVP since Mahomes played so poorly, but they went with the safe pick. I legitimately feared Mahomes was hurt after that dive play. He put it on his shoulders though, and showed he's the true champ. That kid is gonna be a monster in this league for a long long time if he stays healthy.

Nearly beat them? 49ers scored *3* points in the second half... and only 1 drive of any significance. They sat and watched as the Ravens denied them anything while the vaunted 49er defense couldn't get off the field in the 4th quarter.

The vaunted 49ers defensive front was SILENCED in that game. Nick Bosa, Rookie DPOY.. ONE tackle. The entire team had *two* QB hits the entire game. They had the best record in football... until then.

Yes, that's a beatdown shutdown on the 49ers defense.

Ehh.. read the posts. Requirement #1

yeah, they really wanted the refs out of this game.

Plenty of head hits on the QBs that would have been fouls all season long were not called. Cutback blocks.. blocking while the ball is in the air, etc.

There were only 4 penalties called all game that were not pre-snap penalties. One defensive PI, one offensive PI, one man downfield, and one offensive holding.

Especially Kick coverage..

One could argue 'they didn't make an impact' - but that's exactly what you want.. to neutralize any returns. They made some great tackles and were on it for every coverage.

Of course they would.. over the Kittle Offensive PI. But the play was pretty obvious.

Your moaning that a penalty didnt get called against your team... because you didnt get the free do-over on your failed play?

Thats not how this works... thats not how any of this works...

We all know what the great idiot was doing when he wrote the tweet...

If there is any common sense at ESPN... they will reboot MNF hard after this season. What a joke.

A penalty against the 49ers. The only reason you or anyone are passionate about the call is because they would have had their mistake taken away and given a do-over. It's not a call for precision -- it's a self serving wish for erasing a huge play.

It's calling a spade a spade. The penalty is only significant because the 49ers blew it in that play. Just own it.

because when you look at the alternatives.. even a 'decent, but not great' QB is worth gold in this league

.

You really believe this garbage or do you just feed on it?

Your chart was ridiculous. It compares a guy who has been in the league twice as long yet compares totals as absolutes.

Notice it left off things like INTs vs TDs? Yeah, Dalton has twice as high of INT % per throw vs Dak. Dak has higher yards per attempt.. Higher QB Rating... 6yrs younger. Dak is a more mobile quarterback and more built.

There is a reason Dalton's contract is bargain priced... it's weakeven for a backup... middle of the pack deal.

Yes, paying Dak over 35mil will hurt the rest of the team... that doesn't make Dalton somehow worthy of being your starting QB. Ask Denver how that went with Flacco

Ravens finallly get a home MNF game!

Did you all see that analyst Think tampa was going to be like 11-5?

Im for it because you will want it for familiarity. Not because it is fake or trying to be something its not... but because it will be a stark and jarring contrast if you don’t have something there to fill the void.

Watch a comedian without any reactions or crowds... its almost cringe worthy. Watch the late night talk shows... it’s nothing like you are used to and feels aweful. Same thing will happen watching sports without reactions.

And its a huge detriment to the experience. It’s like watching a comedian bomb every joke...

Well, he gave probably 80%... cocaine made up the last 20%

This season is such an oddball with everyone's rosters in such flux. There are alot of really bad records this year.

Think about this.. 3 wildcard teams and 11 wins still might not get in?

AFC North had the advantage of playing NFC east this season and AFC South.. and we all know what the NFC east is this decade.

What I really meant was 'last 10 years...' - but if you want to stick to my poor reference, we can do that.

Two teams... that went on improbable runs... and neither held any consistent time of dominance.

If his story only included 'poor play' - you might have a point.

But this kid's circus story started before he was even drafted. And proved itself out during his time with the team.

He was immature and like Johnny Manzel.. didn't respect the gravity of what it takes to be the franchise QB in the NFL and be a successful QB in the NFL.

His free ride just ended quicker than most in part due to Washington's #$%^show

"six games" is the new "2 dollars" meme.

Zero place to whine when they only win 6 games. They need to GTFO of here with that whine.

jaw?.. look at that hair!!!!

Crazy day

2021 is insane tv so far

No coach replaces players on the roster or field.
Coaches are about maximizing your roster's ability.

There is no denying Patriots don't have the roster they once had and that doesn't magically fix itself overnight. To call BB average because he didn't win a superbowl without a roster is stupid.

After week 4 and beating up on Miami and Houston isn't exactly the time to be asking for your HoF credentials... 3 of the 4 teams they played didn't even have their starting QB...

I got no fodder for the pile - Ravens are just skirting by on prayers right now. Having the biggest IR list in the league isn't really a chest pounding opportunity. And no one wants to hear 'are they gonna stop lamar' again and again.

But how about Fangio being pissed the Ravens did a run play to secure their streak and citing 'player safety' after his own team played all the way to the end when there was virtually zero chance of winning?

https://thespun.com/nfl/afc-north/baltimore-ravens/john-harbaughs-response-to-vic-fangio-is-going-viral

Harbaugh wins that point.

It's great - but week 4 is not the time to be discussing putting any team on a 'all time' list. Unless you are a cowboys fan.. and then that's every year.

2000 Raven gave up 20+ points only TWICE the entire season.. Buffalo has already done that in their first 4 games.. three of which were against substitute QBs. Now Buffalo doesn't have to win 12-6 like the 2000 Ravens did... but if we're elevating defenses.. that's where the bar is. Total smothering domination.

The good news for the Bills D is the opposing offenses are gonna be forced to play to score a ton of points.. so gonna see a lot more throwing and high risk play.

They are definitely blooming and have the roster to run this year.

I just think you're gonna see a lot more shoot outs as they face TEN, KC, TB, etc.

They are built to win now. They have to be the favorites for the afc at this point.

It's a position you can't survive solely on raw athletic talent. It takes not only physical talent, but incredible interpretive skills, decision making, and incredible information ingestion and handling to be successful at this level. There are reasons there really are only about 10-15 of these people that are that good at that job in the world at any one time. And why they rightfully demand so much more compensation than their peers on the field.. and why the owners are keen on protecting those players. Their entire franchise can faulted for years on this single position going tits up.

It's certainly not for any lack of people wanting the job... there literally are hundreds of QBs coming out of the college level every year and only a few dozen even get a chance, and only handful ever find success. It is a ruthless spot that takes quite a refined set of skills and abilities that few elevate to that level for sure.

Sure some bomb out purely on their lack of work ethic/focus - ruining their chances (Hi there Johnny Manziel! JaMarcus Russell! Vince Young!, etc) the vast majority just don't have what it takes to function at the level NFL QBs are challenged to succeed at.

patriots looked all-world out of the blue yesterday... throws and catches that would make them unstoppable. They do have to play buffalo twice still and Tenn tho. Those games will likely set the table for who reins top of AFC.

TEN is still strong even with the injuries right now. Ravens finally stopped rolling 7s and the hollowness of the current team was exposed. Hopefully if Nick Boyle comes back the run game can return to the heavy TE+FB sets that make the run game work. The defensive breakdowns are just embarassing and the loss of players doesn't make it look like it will get any better.

But not guaranteed money. Only a signing bonus was guaranteed. RBs want guarantees.

Jets deal secured 27 mil - Steelers deal only guaranteed 10.

Alot more RBs available than reliable kickers and punters... and they don't last as long either.. so they tend to be players on newer contracts.

No one is signing big RB contracts anymore because there is so much youth and options at the position. When you have 3 RBs on a roster, you can take more risk with 'potential'. Can't do that with kickers and punters when you only carry one.

Watch the replay - the passing game was nuts.

Because they had depleted the cornerbacks- #44 got hurt on the touchdown and they knew they had to win it there. I hated it, but it was situational due to injuries

ESPN shows have become trash and it's rolled over into their writing to...

1/3 of articles are like 'Look at what Skip had to say about X' -- No, I don't give one fuck what he has to say about X. I don't want any video cips or articles about what talking head XYZ had to say about ABC trying to get clicks.

Browns just keep throwing after being onbthe doorstep? Such a brown’s thing to do

Like you forget losing to the browns that way?

Or the jets… lol

And when him or mixon go down on some pointless play and he gets his knee rebuilt a second time he will rethink that.

Try 4 running backs.

They laid an egg that day. But its ok, the ravens team with more people on IR than anyone and starting a qb off the curb will still get more wins this year then the bengals could get in the last two full seasons COMBINED.

Literally held together with tape and bubblegum- still more consistent then the bengals

Read the post - already said they laid an egg that day. Just like the bengals have laid several this year.

And ‘its the nfl’ doesn’t cover the adversity they have had.

We had one cB left who had any real starts… and he was the nickleback before. And even he went out injured. The secondary is a backyard pickem lineup. Not just ‘not raven starters’… but never been starters. Seymour was just picked up 4 weeks ago (5 starts in fouf years). Westry was a practice squad guy picked up in the off-season. Young was a extra cb who missed nearly all of 2020 and has never earned his way back on the field.

They are making game decisions based on even being able to put a body on the field. It’s comically bad. I don’t see how they will even staff for the rest of the season right now. There is no depth chart… its suit up… you’re last man standing for CBs and safeties.

Two of our starting lbs were taken off the street mid season. The only position that hasn’t been decimated is WR.

Oh and that’s after losing both quarterbacks.

You should have been embarrassed if you didn’t put up 35 points.

Well when you haven’t won a playoff game since the Bush era… it’s well deserved

30 years now… are they due at least one win?

Pardon me for not blowing burrows pole for your impressive .500 record over the last two months including losses to powerhouse teams like the jets, browns, and 49ers. You gonna defend those double digit losses with impressive qb numbers against a team with literally one starter, total, in the secondary?

Keep hugging those game stats against a dead shell of a team. They are meaningless. You got the win as you should have. But high fiving over the stats over the scrubs is acting like a team who has never won anything.

Lamar hasn’t been a good runner all season. The fact the offense has doubled their points output since lamar went down shows how bad he’s been playing of late. Not a good look for him coming up to the contract talks that have to happen this off-season
