You have to also add in the 3rd we gave up for Amari Cooper last year (3 points), and it was pre Bean, but it impacted Beane’s first draft and that’s the 3rd we gave up for Benjamin (3 points). Overall since 2018 we’d have the equivalent of 19 points towards receiver. Which is much closer to the average than 5. That’s not even factoring in all the other picks we gave up for Cooper, Diggs, Benjamin, which meant we had less resources for other positions, which in turn could impact future drafts. Overall, I think everyone agrees Beane should have emphasized receiver much more than he has. I’ve wanted a top receiver for quite some time, hoping that we would trade up for one. Every GM and team is going to have their own strategies and for whatever reason Beane has not valued drafting receivers high, which is so frustrating.

It's pretty damning combined with that DeMeco Ryans was saying about the Bills pass coverages. They try to get by with minimum pass protect, thinking Allen will just escape guys, largely to compensate for the inability of their pass catchers to win 1 on 1s. It's a recipe for disaster and for shortening Allen's career. Protect him and get guys that can get open!

Any guesses on what the corresponding move would be to active Grable to the 53? Maybe waive Jordan Phillips, if no one else being moved to IR?

lol. Did I even say that. I said that he isn’t being used effectively. He’s a proven route runner that can get separation and can help this offense more than he has to date. also, I don’t think his contract is THAT bad. He can certainly prove to be worth a 2 year 21M contract.

I don’t think they actually need to run the table to make the playoffs but it’s close and this Pitts game is one of those musts imo. division is out of reach imo. Even running the table, I don’t see the Pats dropping what will likely be needing to be 4 games, not 3 that some are suggesting. We are 3 games behind but tying them doesn’t give us the division. They currently hold other tie breakers such common games. as for needing to dump Brady, that’s not needed but Brady needs to come with a new scheme of plays. We also need Kincaid back. That is Josh safety blanket. The offense is night and day with him out vs in. If they get rid of Brady then end of season is better at this point.

Throwing toilet paper against the wall to see if it still Cooks... worth a try...

we got a dawg. More of this attitude please

As I understand the protocol, I would think this would make it easier for him to "graduate". You're evaluated for a return to "baseline", so it would be easier for a knuckle-dragging Neanderthal to get back to normal than your basic Norman 😜Einstein type.

I thought about it and I get why he is usually one of, if not the, go to pick/s, but in my mind, I factor in what's at stake for when that player is drafted. Sure, it would have been amazing to have him work out and be a bedrock of the team for a decade going forward, but those teams had an ungodly amount of problems all around. With Keon, it's a lot more bleak in my opinion. Drafted to hopefully be a true game changing weapon for Josh, and a critical piece for the team to finally, finally get over the hump and win a Super Bowl, or hell, even get to one again. Instead we've gotten...yeah. I think people are underestimating that side of things, and as much as I still absolutely want the guy to turn into that kind of player, it's not looking good. I really don't know what it would take. Usually, outside of a near death experience, nothing really changes a person's internal motivation to succeed or to truly reinvent themselves to become the best version of themselves possible.

$550 plus shipping? lulz there’s still a chance… 53 different things all need to happen first though for it to line up.

Yeah, that is ridiculous.

I think the entire thing is dumb on both sides. Service people are obligated to not oblige "illegal" orders. They don't need to be told that. Regarding the "free speech" comment, not a player. He is obligated to conform to the UCMJ . Nothing "free speech" about it. It's quit clear. Another useless confrontation that gets the press all excited, but meaningless. If the Administration directs an illegal order, then it's worth talking about.

Sorry it didn't work out, but usually it doesn't.

Everyone in the NFL knows our playbook I heard on NFL radio today that only 3 guys this season in concussion protocol have actually played that week.

I am just saying, on this roster WR5 is like 9th on the peking order of weapons. Expecting a team with a tight cap to fill in that spot with anything other than available players like a Moore is a bit unreasonable and unrealistic. Just because we failed to use him here, like we fail to use Samuel as well, doesn't mean he isn't good enough to be WR5. And its already come out that Moore wanted to be released as he wanted more opportunities. Look at Samuel - in his 5 seasons starting for CAR and WAS averaged 796 yards a season. Yet he remains nothing here in this offense with Brady despite his single best season was with Brady in CAR. Diggs fell off a cliff production wise despite still seeing high targets under Brady, so much so that Shakir put up more yards on half the targets as Diggs. At some point, people need to realize its more than offense than the player here. I am not defending Moore as if he is some pro-bowler getting shafted, I am saying for a position that is essentially not only last in line at WR, but like 8th or 9th in line in usage on this team of weapons you are not going to find much more invested into the position than we did. In fact, most teams guys at the end of their weapons list are a lot worse than Moore.

Have to remember we played Houston who is a top five team in the country to overtime Kansas who is going to finish a top 25 team and Iowa state was top 20 Over 60 teams make the tournament we might not be in the top 20 yet but we're also without Freeman our best player

How much will the legendary urinal sell for?

Just bring a plastic wrench or screwdriver and slowly start unscrewing it lol Leave it literally right under your seat By the last home game have it basically almost done so at the end of the game you could just finish it off and walk off with it

I've had a pair of from the original Rich stadium reno in the attic for a couple decades now. My wife ALMOST tossed them during the great COVID house clean up.

I'm not sure what the concussion protocol entails, but I get a weird sense Dion Dawkins is going to struggle to get through it. With all due respect, his overall demeanor in post-game press conferences I've witnessed over the years has had me questioning whether he has a learning disability. Again, I do not mean any disrespect at all; just something I've picked up on. Could also be that he's just a unique dude and I'm completely wrong.

I met my Wife in 2021 here in Arizona. She's from Pittsburgh, and a Steeler fan. We were cleaning out our storage area last year and came across a poem she wrote before that game kicked off. It makes mention of Bruce being out. 😂 I'll see if I can find it again and post it

I do almost all the cooking in our house. I shop and cook daily….except for Thanksgiving. It’s my wife’s deal, and I mostly just stay the heck out of the way. We usually have around 20 people, and she takes care of everything. For her first retired Thanksgiving she’s also making all the pies from scratch, including dough. Interesting Thanksgiving side-note: We are not huge dessert people. I’ll always ask for the smallest slice of pie, while my wife usually passes completely. This year we are filling small, 1-2 bite size pastry tarts with pumpkin pie filling and also a pecan pie/chocolate chips mixture. While I’m very slow to accept a whole piece of pie, I am very quick to grab one of those little bad boys and pop it in my mouth. It’s a little experiment this year to see what is more popular. The pumpkin pie filling really benefits from a little bit of crunch in every bite, imo, and I may get sick from eating too many pecan/chocolate chip tarts.

Politically this is a dumb, impulsive move by Trump. This raises the political stature of Kelley and puts Trump and his party on the side of wanting the military to be able to execute illegal orders. It also involves free speech issues like - can the government regulate the speech of retired vets? I doubt it all goes anywhere.

Ken Burns did a great documentary on the Viet Nam war. You can find it on TV occasionally, YouTube, Amazon TV
