Great point. Does anyone know whether or not punching the ball carrier is even legal?? It can't be.

Sorry if this has been asked already but I'm not going to read this whole thread. Does anyone know if its legal to punch the ball carrier in an attempt to force a fumble?

Our offense is bottom third in production. Our defense, while amazing, is middle of the road in fantasy scoring. We don't have a pass rusher putting up 20 sacks. Singletary and Brown are flying under the radar in an unspectacular offense. Besides TreDavious our defense gets recognized as a whole.

But it is legal. And they don't do it every time. For reasons I have already explained. That was the point. So no, you do not understand what I am saying. At all. Which is exactly what I have explained repeatedly in this thread.

Thats a great question and I'm glad someone finally asked it. Can Pegula really own BOTH the Bills AND the Sabres at the same time??? I don't think its been answered yet.

And I answered it twice, yet here we are. It is perfectly legal. Its taught at the college and pro level. This isn't my opinion, its straight fact whether you choose to believe this time or not. Peanut Tillman made a career out of punching the ball out. The flapping heads used to make a whole segment out of his offseason boxing training centered around forcing fumbles. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/17114030/the-art-charles-tillman-peanut-punch-nfl-chicago-bears-carolina-panthers The reason YOU haven't seen this before, I can't say. The reason everyone doesn't do it all the time has already been explained twice. I've seen Hughes and Poyer go for the punch. It doesn't always work because its hard to do and NFL players get paid to hang onto the ball. The world typically doesn't stop for a failed punch unless you're one of the Steroid Twins.

So why doesn't everybody just do it on every play? Its legal and there's no downside.

Because that requires incredible timing and coordination to hit the ball as the ball carrier gets even with you while you're engaged with a blocker or, like you see in the Watt video, running next to the ball carrier sacrificing yards instead of going for the tackle. If you swing at the ball carrier and get neither the ball or bring down the man then you may find your playing time reduced dramatically.

Every week I see him at least one time coming around the tackle with an arm hooked around his neck and he hasn't drawn a holding call in forever. Keep hustling Jerry.

Proper form should look like a drunken 21 year old desperately trying to remove himself from the gene pool. Schein went in like an old racist woman with a bad case of hypochondria overcoming her fear of public pools.

Lots and lots of flea flickers.

https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/gamelog/_/id/2330/tom-brady With the exception of playing from 18 points down against the Texans and playing against Baltimore's prevent shell, Brady's been averaging about yards per attempt and hovering around 50% completion for the past 5 or 6 weeks. https://patriotswire.usatoday.com/2019/12/17/report-julian-edelmans-knee-injury-could-be-more-serious-than-initially-expected/ I wonder how much the injury to 1/3 of their passing game is having on Tom's production? https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/nwe/2019.htm

I like where your head is at. Whats the audio equivalent of a sucker punch or yard assault? Probably one of those things that emits high frequency noise to the point of pain to deter Somali Pirates. Yes, a Long Range Acoustic Device aimed straight at the enemy huddle while the PA blasts a mixtape of WWI artillery barrage and hardcore porn sounds. On 4th downs we play the brown noise then once their bowels are obliterated nail them with the LRAD and porn sounds.

I was pretty much resigned to the fact that Brady would go out on top and ride off into the sunset after another Lombardi Trophy. But the Bills have the opportunity this year (with a little help) to beat the Pats, claim the division, and signify an end to this unholy era of Pats dominance. The table is set for a changing of the guard and toppling of an empire in the AFC East. We'll see.

Its pretty obvious with a secondary that features arguably the best cover CB (consensus top 5) in the game today in Tre White that opponents will go anywhere else with the ball. Kind of like back in the day when Gilmore was here and Leodis got targeted 10+ times a game. Levi has had a few tough outings but our secondary is the strength of this defense nonetheless. Conner on any CB in the league in the open field is a matchup Pittsburgh will take 10/10. A safety should be more likely to take down an RB in the open field than a CB.

I have wondered that all season. I think the play calling is definitely more conservative until the moment they are forced to open it up. I see many games where both offenses look inept until the last 5-6 minutes when they move to no-huddle and all of a sudden find rhythm so I don't think its just Allen. Especially with a strong defense like ours its great to put together sustained drives but I wouldn't mind seeing them occasionally go uptempo BEFORE my I'm on the verge of an emotional meltdown.

I for one, am surprised that this didn't work out. The notoriously shrewd owner of he Browns, Jimmy Haslem appears to have made an error in allowing his rookie QB to have significant input in selecting the next Head Coach. It turns out that starring in Progressive Insurance commercials does not qualify someone to pick the coach. Kitchens met both priorities on Mayfield's list of wants: 1. Don't be Hue Jackson and 2. let Baker do whatever he wants. Kitchens also met Dorsey and Haslem's requirements of: 1. be cheap, 2. play nice with Baker, and 3. ideally, already know your way around the facility. With a real live head coach on the roster, the Browns went on a shopping spree and brought in loads of talent. In hindsight, it looks like bringing in all these high-maintenance, highly talented players isn't enough without leadership and vision. While the Browns undoubtedly won the offseason super bowl it all blew up once the real games started and I am shocked!

Got any good stories? Like having to cut up Trent Edwards steak and feed him like a toddler or having to ask Matthew Barnaby to leave after destroying all the toilets in the ladies room?

When confronted he jammed his face in a cream pie and screamed "Hoooodaaaaaloooooooooo!". It was weird.

I thought it was collar bone break the way he got up clutching at it. I backed off the ledge after watching him walk comfortably into the tent. No way he would have been walking like that with a separated shoulder, collarbone, or a dislocation that hadn't been addressed.

The media love affair with Lamar Jackson is keeping a lot recovering Mayfield addicts busy. The last thing they want to do is encourage anyone to piss on the Lamar parade by pointing out that hes still primarily a runner. You do NOT want to talk about how Lamar has the fewest passing yards of any QB outside the hash marks to his wideouts and is almost exclusively getting it done with his TEs. You definitely do not want to suggest hes a runner first and passer second. No idea why. Completely agree. I see a few parallels between Russell Wilson and Squawks. He was SO close to being benched while the team endured long stretches of offensive futility. He made clutch plays when it mattered and was backstopped by a historically great defense. A few lucky bounces, some hail marys, and a great defense kept the Ws coming and bought him extremely valuable time to develop as a QB.

Depends. Do we have anything in common? Whats her astrological sign?

Lasik?

I'm sure Gore and Lorax would love it.
