Yep , a dual threat back who can catch over his shoulder would be amazing ! Josh’s int spree would come to an end with a true receiving rb threat. Thurman was the prototype ! Motor has to turn and come to a stop to catch. Loses so much yac that way. Josh also has to quit fighting his own guys for Attempts lkke he did with McKenzie yesterday. Really he is amazing but that hero mode , just like it can win games , can also lose games when he keeps forcing things.

Happy to see motors progress but remember it came against a 31 st ranked ATL D ! I hope it doesn’t dissuade Beane from taking someone like Harris if available next year , unless we go on a tear with motor repeating the 100 yard game achievements during the playoffs! My fear is that either Daboll or good Defenses make that run game disappear during the playoffs.

Well there is your nasty run of the weekend! Man I would have loved Harris with Allen. How about that backfield coming at you! Talk about business decision!

Ben is such a “ changed” good guy, he just did that to encourage the Browns to show up after half, keep it close like a cat toying with a mouse! Plus he gets a cut of the dbs bonus $ for ints !

Yes. Allen had a ac separation I believe. That’s a partial tear of a ligament , soft tissue type injury. Did not ever need surgery. Baker has a torn labrum which is cartilage type tissue. AND it tore a fragment of bone that is loose to be trapped as the humerus rotates ! Imagine pinching that between the scapula , where it sits , and the humeral head with any rotation of the round head of the humerus ( long bone of upper arm) ! Very painful. Got to say guy is tough plying thru that!

I don’t think he can worsen the main injury as surgery already planned. If you pull him when he wants to play in a historic game , Ben’s last home game, maybe sends a signal that is counter to the culture. Plus they have bonus $ at stake etc. I don’t know, can’t get in head coach s head, but season isn’t over till next week and they get lots of $ to play & obviously all the guys at this level are super competitive and don’t quit easily. It’s like seeing surgery residents going into pyramid programs where they start with more guys than positions available at the end of the 5 year residency ! Those are super competitive people , from high school, to college, to Med school , to residency ; the competition keeps ramping up and super competitive people are selected! I imagine same process to get to be a pro player. MOST, with exception of STARR , want to always play ! Lol! 😂

Not a fan of his but I will give him credit for playing thru that labrum injury. Imagine trying to throw a football accurately when you can’t extend your left arm for counterbalance or move your left shoulder much! No way to stay accurate like that. He could have just went and had surgery but who do they have as a back up ? Tough situation. He gets next year to see if he can repair his career. Also with head coaches like Hugh , who may be the biggest idiot ever as ahead coach, how can a qb succeed ?.

Wish we had some of their d line talent.

Steelers screwed up again just nabbing Harris! Always a couple of picks ahead just at the wrong moment of our need in the draft! How good would he loook as a Bill when we might need him against the Titans as Henry returns for the playoffs! Yet we can’t ever get Starr back! Lol. I swear he has retired but they are keeping it quiet in Mcd style!

Bills - jags was probably worse! At least here I am smiling seeing Baker getting drilled and knowing the Steelers have not prepared well for the post Ben era! I’m from that area , across the river in Ohio, fro Pittsburgh. In high school ALL my friends were Steelers fans. I was the only Bills guy around. Just so happened it was the mid 70’s , right in the middle of their dominance with Franco, steel curtain, and Bradshaw! Lots of Browns fans too there so every Sunday you would see either Steeler or Browns flags flying on peoples porches! Hell , even my 96 year old mom is a long time Steelers fan! Was terrible first week of the season as I had to tell her I didn’t hear my phone when she called late after the first game this year. Will give her a ring tonight! Steeler playoff football may take a hit for awhile , unless they nab Wilson ! Lol!

Ben with “ good ball handling” according to Griese! Who knew? 👌👏

Couldn’t swing a deal that would have changed the direction of the franchise , so he reverted to patrolling the stands and banning anti Donahoe signs with his attack squads! Talk about crazy ! Obsessed with signs from fans and Mcgahee! He wanted to be that guy that out - bolded every other gm , then the rb just spends a year rehabbing at the Bills expense. His injury agaist Ohio state I believe , was a gruesome knee injury. How bout the ol miss rebels qb getting injured in the bowl game this year? Wonder who goes with him now , however I’m not sure what the injury to his leg turned out to be. Anyone know? Really going to be even harder to get guys to play in bowls outside of the final 4 teams, if the guy is projected in the first couple of rounds, after seeing that misfortune!

Put that way it sounds like a natural function! 🍸😊

He was not that great today. Had a career year but I think is on the wrong side of 30. If we need him that’s a big failure concerning Stevenson with a fulll off season to improve and another short term rent like Sanders who has really been an overall ineffective signing this year. We don’t have a great deal of cap space and that o line needs at least a couple of new vets. Protect your main investment, Josh , and get him another young weapon or two to grow with. If our d , who usually gives up chunk plays every game contained him completely, just bringing him in as a returner only seems counter to how Beane / Mcd have operated in the past. Great story about the OP ‘s son tho!

Wow, quite the stretch for an analogy there! Not sure I be ever heard a description of her , there , at least ! However , that’ has somehow left an impression and I am not sure I will sleep well tonight ! It was an awful ugly win , most times teams are going to lose with that t/o differential and also allowing a defensive score. The other division leaders or winners do t seem to be headed to the playoffs playing that inconsistently, as even the KC loss was with the chiefs still playing very well offensively. Those ints from Josh just don’t seem to slow down often.this year. I was much more confident heading into the playoffs last year and look how close we came to losing to the colts ! Whoever wins the SB has to string together a 3 or 4 game winning streak and this year we have had trouble winning 3 in a row. That level of inconsistency is bothersome. We keep having different phases break down in different games, as today the special teams ; return game broke down and our passing game was bad when compared to Kc or Cincy’s attacks. Was it as bad as that visual you described ,,, maybe close! lol!

When is the pats game ,,,,hopefully in all fairness they have enough time to recover from that thriller with the jags they played today !

I don’t know Tom , but I would say it speaks to his superficial evaluation of personal traits. He had to know about the past reports but chose to ignore them and actually with his naïveté, put his own family at risk. That’s a form of narcissism as Brady is basically acting like he can “ fix” Brown when professionals with years of training had already commented on the likelihood of Brown having personality disorder traits and actions compatible with possible sociopathy. Great athletes like Brady don’t live in the type of real world that most of us do. They live very protected lives and are worshipped from college on as athletes , so of course their narcissism is fed and they believe they can do what countless others can’t. Unfortunately, throwing a football does not transfer to diagnostic skills in psychiatry! The only fishy thing is Tom being “ concerned” and caring so passionately for him as “ we all love him deeply” ! I don’t think Brady is covering anything up because I don’t believe he actually understands the depth of pathology Brown has exhibited and is capable of.

They have been advertising all weekend about wild card weekend ending with the Monday night game ! So it’s a thing ! A real thing!

Interesting that you say that about Brady today. In the post game presser Tommy looks very concerned and wants us all to be compassionate and be sure he gets all the help he needs in this difficult time! What BS! Where was the concern last year when he was wrecking his career with the Raiders? All you were concerned with then Tommy was recruiting him for your SB run! Where was your concern Tommy when he was caught forging and selling forged vaccine cards just this past month!? That’s a felony Tommy , but you were so concerned that you had him back on the team throwing passes to him. It’s this type of fake personality , fake caring , fake concern for a human being who was already in trouble but that didn’t stop you from wanting him on your team to help achieve your goals Tommy, and you continued to enable him. Just like giving money to a crack addict , throwing this guy money to catch footballs is still enabling mental pathology, yet where was this sad face concern before he embarrassed the whole organization today? I don’t want to see Brady with his fake concern and putting on his sad face for the press when he was a main reason Brown was still seeing a football field ! Add this crap to the list of reasons I dislike Brady as a personality. Don’t know who is worse , Brady or Rodgers with his extreme arrogance ! It’s funny. Was watching John Finas YouTube podcast aboit last weeks victory and at the end Rodgers name came up and he was being compared to someone else whose name I don’t remember when Fina said “ Rodgers was several times less likable “! If you watch John Fina , that says a lot because he almost never is critical about anyone as a person. I was surprised that Fina said that , but not surprised it was Rodgers who finally got to Fina!

Man I am so with you in this. Wish we had kept him. Was something we just didn’t have to worry about. Now it’s come to even costing us points in a game. How lucky were we to overcome 4 turnovers AND a defensive score AND them scoring first ( this year the team scoring first has won almost 75% of the time !). It was probably a 95% chance based on NFL past results that a team wins with those stats in the wrong direction. Thank goodness we were playing a team with a clueless head coach and their main weapon went out with a hammy strain for a half! But we have gone from thinking about scoring a td on a return to now having given up a safety because of that one decision. In a league where most games are one possession outcomes , it is a big negative for us at this point. The guy can’t see lanes in the NFL and is running into his own players. Seriously, what happened to the guy who returned one in the preseason and caught the pass that set up the win against the Lions? I would seriously get his vision checked for color blindness and loss of visual fields now ! Lol! If he fumbles that second one he bobbled , he would not see the field again this year. That’s who we are relying on going into the playoffs!? I would almost just stick Hyde back there now as a punt catcher ! We don’t get great returns , get penalized probably more than 50% of the time on returns , and now we are worrying about fumbles and btw, did you see how he Carry’s the ball after he secures it? It doesn’t look very secure to me. Mckenzie worries me less than this guy RIGHT NOW , and the pressure just ratchets up in the playoffs. Really, this is not how you want your return game just as you enter the lose and go home scenario! We have one game to finalize a critical decision ! The only larger concern is Daboll game to game variable play calling regarding the run game and Josh throwing so many ints !

Collinsworth also said the Bills could not be the no 1 seed because of their “ loss at KC”! , but was proud that the Bengals still could be the 1 seed. Guess you can take the guy out of the Bengals but you can’t take the BS out of the guy! ( sorry , may have misspelled or shortened Bengals on that last part!).

Yep, can’t absolve Josh of throwing poorly today. Hope this team learns from these bad half’s of football like this first half , first half against the Bucs , and the entire jags and first pats games ! Hope Josh learns. He was so successful the prior week and the.n this was like a 180 reversion to not taking what’s given or being patient. Worse is Daboll ignoring the run in bad weather in the first place. I just can’t get over calling that pass to Dawkins from the one on first and goal from the falcons one yard line ! It’s not like Josh has never made a bad decision and attempted to force a ball in to someone covered. The very next play we ran it in, but what if that pass had been picked for some reason ? Just no need to attempt that against a bad team.

Forgery , stealing , sexual assault is not being a DIVA. Of course we won’t know if he has any CTE until his autopsy. But his behavior is similar to thousands of criminals who have never played football. I’m just saying he has a long history , documented in his family history , of Aberrant behavior and certainly by signing him the Bucs are also signing off on him not having significant CTE now. If there was any suspicion or evidence of it , he would never clear the physicals because if a team signed him knowing that , they would be legally responsible for all medical care costs the remainder of his life plus other damages for allowing him to continue to endanger himself. Some people are sociopaths without ever setting foot on a football field. Sorry , I just feel strongly about all the people this guy has hurt and then a football organization enables it yet again. That disgusts me. Also, if you are concerned about him having CTE, shouldn’t you be even more upset that they are exposing him to exacerbating it? My whole point was just he should not be playing football in the NFL , and he continues to do illegal things. Playing more for the Bucs won’t make him better in any fashion, neither will ignoring written laws. 😉

The law is a bogus felony! Maybe you are just kidding or being sarcastic. Look , why don’t you lie on your tax return and send in a known group of forged documents to support your return ! See how the law treats you. Those cards are federal documents now. I can’t send in a fake medical license to continue to practice medicine. Well , I can if I want to be fined heavily and lose my career. People are losimg careers over that now. I am NOT justifying it , but it is what it is , the LAW! I THINK that’s really what you mean and I get it. But I am just pointing out it’s the LAW NOW and that it won’t be treated as bogus if you or I break it ! That’s my point. People are losing jobs and being made examples of ( again , I think this is crazy ,,BUT the law is written). More importantly, are you thinking somehow Antonio browns behavior is ok , normal? He should have never been allowed back just based on all the prior cases / offenses against him like sexually attacking women or exposing himself in front of them etc. No one can defend that creep imo, and when teams / organizations keep enabling a sick person, it usually does not end well for them or their victims. Ignoring forging thise cards now is like ignoring the MINOR stealing from stores ; it has led to worse things and ignoring more of Browns illegal behavior will not make it better or go away.

This guy has a long history of sociopathic behavior and narcissism! He is a criminal. Always has behaved as one. Cte is doubtful to cause all the long standing crimes he has been responsible for. Usually you have some time of normal behavior history prior to CTE. It’s the opposite for brown who never should have been allowed back on the field after the FELONY of forging and selling vax cards. Arians and Brady wanting him back says something about their character as well. This guy will end up in jail or unfortunately commit suicide or harm someone else. Yet they enable him by allowing him to continue to return to play. Let’s hope we never see him on the field again and he is forced to get help. There is no help apparently for organizations, and people like the coach and qb who fought to get this sociopath on the team because he can catch a football.
