Mr. WEO

Hey don’t look at me…

he was cleared to play by week 7 that year. was Herbert's backup.

Intercostal nerve blocks, not cutaneous nerves. Just the nerves serving that rib, generally. Don't recall seeing an injury listed for Watt......

You mentioned the inability of the WRs to get open (ie separation). Others have also brought up the WRs as a reason the numbers are starkly different from last year. But the WRs aren't materially different from last year, so it's not clear how this would now be a significant factor as to why Josh's sack and pressure numbers are up, despite him having career highs in accuracy (bad throw %, on target% and drop%). I agree sacks are the result of several variables, but the difference in this year's WR performance and last year's doesn't seem to be a significant one.

Sue the provider? How did that go for Tyrod? Sue the Steelers? For what? you seem to think he was forced to have a procedure against his will. That would also have to assume that a guy like Watt would NOT do everything legal and possible to be on the field, which is obviously absurd.

The WRs last year were that much better at getting separation? Which ones?

come on I tossed him a thumbs up. Drew Bledsoe wouldn't have a single sack behind this line because of that higher pass protection efficiency! Josh is getting sacked and pressured more this year because he is "a mobile QB"! That's an unfortunate new development. lol.

were you time traveling...backwards?

what?

This gets repeated a lot. Take away any HOF QB from their HOF HC and how does that coach fare? Belichick. took a 3-13 Browns team to 11-5 and a playoff appearance with Vinnie Testaverde, Tommy Vardell at RB and Micheal Jackson at WR. He did it by truning the 28th Defense into the #1 Defense in point allowed. How many SB rings does Reid have without Mahomes?

Tyrod was getting a thoracic nerve block, got a pneumothorax, which quickly and spontaneously resolves in most such cases. The main impact that injury had was forcing the Chargers to come to grips with the reality that TT had no business being their starter when they had just drafted Herbert. TT is still starting games in the NFL. Pleural effusions are far more significant and secondary typically to a serious primary pulmonary or secondary abdominal process. Pro athletes typically aren't walking around with these and even if he had one there's no chance an effusion would be drained outside of a hospital--in an NFL training room especially. No matter what adjunnt imaging a provider uses to inject local to do a thoracic nerve block, the risk of pneumothorax is never zero.

BB was a great defensive coordinator before he got to the Patriots. His 1st SB in NE wasn't about Brady but really about great coaching.

So your argument is the because the Bengals have the worst Defense THIS YEAR, the wonership is the worst? The ownership paid their franchise QB and not one but two WR1s---and paid Hendricks at least for another year. This ownership has seen 2 HCs over 23 seasons. This ownership has put back to back teams in the AFCC game in the past 5 years (winning one). Still want to compare to the Bills? Over the same 20+ years, the Jets ownerships has hired 7HCs, burned through at least 11 starting QBs (including dumping 2 1st round QB picks that went on to succeed elsewhere) and have not played in a playoff game in 15 years. The Browns have famously had 10 HCs over the same 23 year period and at least 18 QBs have started games for them. At one point the Browns ownership went though 4 HC's in 6 seasons before hiring the worst professional sports coach in sports history: Hue Jackson. And after Hue went 1-15, did they fire him? Of course not. Did they fire him when he went 0-16 the following year? Not a chance. You could not be more wrong on this.

I think he’s done.

how long would McD last without Allen? The Walrus without Kermit the Frog? Cincy has some 1 game without Burrow, who has 1 less win than Burrow has (counting completed games). Burrow is soft, a head case. Imagine being a Bengals fan and watching that press conference today! wtf
