    A nerve block makes sense, however, I have to ask, wouldn't a nerve block that high make quite a bit of that side of the thoracic area and abdomen numb? Also, which nerve are they targeting for this? 

     

    Intercostal nerve blocks, not cutaneous nerves.  Just the nerves serving that rib, generally.

     

    Don't recall seeing an injury listed for Watt......

    Yeah, I didn't bring that up.  You just did.

     

    I also didn't say I was fully on board with you.  

     

    I just stand by what I posted and what I mean for this year.

     

    I don't need something to be so different from year to year to give a reason of why it is different from last year as opposed to now.  

     

    It just is different...and he is, and I think it is a combination of both things I brought up.

     

    These are humans, not computers.  It isn't always going to be the same just because it looks sort of the same.

     

     

     

    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.

    * sues.  Dang spell check

     

    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.

    WEO, I don't totally disagree with you.

     

    I think the inability of the receivers to get open most times (definitely not all) and the progressions Brady wants Allen to go through have had an detrimental affect* on his sack numbers, as well.

     

     

    (* Yes, people, I am using it correctly.)

     

     

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

    because this is all he does.  Either he’s just trolling 24/7 or he’s shifting the convo in order to not be wrong.  
     

    He knew there was no way out, hence the 

    crickets GIF

     

    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.

    I was travelling when this happened, saw the headlines, knew Diggs was kind of an oddball, etc. but never really read anywhere what the real deal was on this?   Is there any history on reason for Diggs release that is reasonably factual?  

     

    were you time traveling...backwards?

    I'll grant you that.  I'm simply saying he coached 10 seasons in the NFL without Brady as his quarterback and 8 of those 10 seasons were losing records.

     

    Brady > Belichick by a ton.

     

    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?

    Hurts the Steelers, which is fine by me.

     

    Also hurts the Dolphins, because more meaningless wins for them will mean worse draft position, I guess? 

     

    And also hurts the Patriots, if the Bills win on Sunday, because a motivated week 18 Dolphins team on an impressive late-season run could be formidable with momentum and nothing to lose?

     

    And moreover, hopefully, helps ALL players by shining another light on player health and medical treatment, given that we've potentially seen this type of procedure-caused "injury" play out previously (and with MAJOR impact to the player in question: Tyrod Taylor of course)?

    I HIGHLY doubt this had anything to do with pain killers being administered and "popping" a lung. You wouldn't be putting a local that deep and through the ribs. Locals aren't given that deep and neither are opioids or nsaids.

     

    Maybe he had a pleural effusion and they were doing a thoracentesis. That very well could have done it, and it happens more frequently than you would imagine.

     

     

    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.

    I agree.  I've long said that in the NFL especially that players (QB's specifically) make coaches.  Look no further than Bill Belichick who has done so much damage to his reputation as a great coach by hanging around the Pats after Brady left.  Belichick's record as a head coach with Brady 249-75 without 83-104.  In the NFL coaches that have great QB's can win in spite of themselves.

     

    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.

    What if the Bills had an awful OL and college level defense? They would be.....well.....the Bengals. Top 5 worst then.

     

    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.

    That too, but Taylor cannot win games without Burrow. 

     

    Even with Burrow the team comes out unprepared, sluggish, unmotivated and starts slow almost every year. 

     

    I just don't get how Taylor has a job. 

     

    They're so cheap they don't even have a GM! 


    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

    lol…what am I going to debate?  I didn’t say anything about backing the truck up for Kincaid!  But somehow you think that I did?  🤷🏻‍♂️ explains a lot.

     

    pick up the 5th year option and play it by ear. Letting him go for an 8M cap hit would be an idiotic move.  I never said we should extend him….and he’s my favorite player.  
     

    99% of the times I quote you, this is what you do.  Move the entire conversation.   All I said was that you’re only here to diminish people.  

     

    you didn't say anything actually responsive to my post, in fact.  just the personal response, as I noted above. you gave the same to @noacls17--it's "you doing you"

     

    I have only "moved the conversation" with you--to prompt a reply that is on point.  I have succeeded and you have joined the discussion (and I agree with picking up the option by the way). why was that so hard?

    The Bills were number one in defense or damn close a bunch of years before Allen got paid. 

     

    Depth player route or a few elite players and you kinda need to collude into getting a randy moss for a 4th was it? And then spy on teams and who knows whatever else...

     

    But you really can't have both depth and several elite players, until you're in the Stafford era of an elite QBs timeline and you trade all your picks and go all in on one last window

     

     

    not sure what a lot of this means.  Moss won zero SB rings.  The went to 5 more SB (won 3) years after everyone knew about spygate.

     

    every teams backup are in a similar large group of skill level.

     

    2021 was Rams (and Stafford's) "last window"?

    Does anyone doubt that Josh would have made this tackle?

     

     

     

     

     

    How are you guys 5 teams deep and there's no mention of the Jets?

     

     

    Because unlike those pussies in New England, we're real football fans.

     

     

     

    lol yes of course the Jets!  And G'aints too, at this point.
