We should let him walk, pick up the 300 lb TE from the Steelers, and cut Shakir, Palmer, Cooks, and any other pass catcher with a hint of talent and replace them with big, slow guys who can block. Only then will our transformation be complete and McD’s complementary football vision/Josh Allen’s 9th circle of hell be realized.

…despite having a good game the week before against the Chiefs when filling in for Johnson.

I’m not arguing that injuries haven’t hurt us; we’ve clearly had a ton of them at key places. My point was that, aside from Hoecht, players that we’ve lost for the year haven’t materially made this team worse, and in several key areas that actually cost us games earlier in the season have clearly been addition by subtraction. You can applaud the staff for overcoming injuries of late, and it’s warranted, but some of the personnel decisions early in the season hurt this team significantly.

Ironically, outside of Hoecht, this is a list of players whose absence has had no impact on the team, Jackson, Carter, Owens, or whose absence has actually positively impacted the team, Rapp, Hamlin, Bass. You could actually argue that part of the reason for the turnaround in the secondary is because Rapp’s injury forced McD’s hand in finally getting him off the field, and what do you know, suddenly Bishop looks like the player they thought they were drafting instead of a bust and Poyer, despite his declining athleticism, is actually where he’s supposed to be on the field.

That’d be Mayfield then… I’d be funny for the rest of the world AND it would smite Cleveland for their evil deeds at QB at the same time.

Are you sure you wouldn’t prefer sex on the beach or a shot of amaretto and Irish cream topped with whipped cream?

Bills gonna claim every S and CB to hit the waiver wire now just to #### with the Eagles.

🤔... I mean, based on the production we get from our WR group... and based on the high bar for football intellect that it would have to clear using Coleman as a comparison... maybe? 🤷‍♂️

Burrow is listed as 6'4" 215... that's still thin.

After what the Bills just did to the Steelers, Baltimore just needs to run the same play to Henry over and over again and they'll win even with Huntley starting.

I mean, like all things pertaining to the Browns, I'm hoping the OP was meant as schadenfreude and not a serious concern... 🤷‍♂️ 🤔... Saquon would be tearing it up in Houston and Allen would be revitalizing his career in Tampa?

No kidding. The number of unsportsmanlike conduct penalties for spitting on an opponent with him in the lineup is infinitely more than without him in the lineup.

The funniest part is, if they had stuck with Baker after he played hurt the season before, they may have even succeeded in finding their franchise QB. Mayfield should send them a Thank You card every Christmas for screwing him over in the short term so that he could succeed in the long term.

When the jumbotron operator ended a massive cup war after Guns N Roses was notoriously 2 hours late (again) for their headlining set after Metallica had finished playing as, by pure happenstance, they panned to a woman who was on someone's shoulders and she flashed the camera. It instantly went from cup war to "flashfest". Prior to that, I'm pretty sure I suffered a concussion from a 24 oz cup packed full with ice with lid intact being thrown like a missile from the 300s. Maybe not favorite... but one of the most memorable.

I imagine, if Allen is in his own head thinking about whether or not to throw the ball to a given player because he doesn’t have confidence in that person even for a split second, it has to directly play into his own performance. The split second delay in this league is the difference between a ball delivered on time and a pick. When Kinkaid is active he doesn’t hesitate to him. I have to imagine, aside from Shakir, he has no one else in his WR corps right now that he feels is money. Has to be mind ####ing him this season.

It depends what the options are to replace Bosa and Thompson. Assuming realistic options, I voted clean sweep. If no options, then those are the only 2 I'd consider. Thought about the punter for a second... but he's basically living proof that you can sign Australian punters off of the street because they are apparently a dime a dozen.

And she was wearing too many layers to borrow the jersey...

Seems very suspect… it’s probably still on the stadium floor under the seats in front of her.

Was it Bradley Cooper?

Broken hand... broken nose... career's unraveling... and for what!!! I don't even LIKE these ####### yinzers.

What do you mean, the Sabres successfully navigated a tan... ugh, oops. Nothing like watching Murray trade away goalies because they didn't suck bad enough.

Was Davis injured early in the year? Different player the last few weeks.

Fundamentally, I'm not disagreeing. I had been arguing for years that Beane needed to draft a WR with WR1 potential when Diggs was still on the roster. But if trade deadline rumors were to be believed, trading for a WR is already an approach that Beane was attempting to pursue. I think it's unfortunately the cost of his/his staff's inability to effectively scout FA's and draft eligible WRs... and despite his bravado and shooting his mouth off on WGR, I think he knows it (or at least knows it now). To your ? about WR1 getting traded, in addition to the ones you mentioned, George Pickens comes to mind. Not sure what you consider DK Metcalf, WR1 or WR2. Certainly Davante Adams has bounced around. DHop in his twilight...
