So simple and yet so many are confused...

Did they only rank 23 teams?

Instant reaction over at PFF when they learn Josh Allen completed 70% of his passes for over 300 yards:

There were no arrests coming out of today's scrimmage.

Let's get all of the "it was just a scrimmage" stuff out of the way because we all understand that. It is very difficult to find something negative to say, looking at the "stats" that have been tweeted. Josh Allen at 70%, >300 yds, 3 total TDs, in 2.5 quarters of work. Who in their wildest dreams expected that? And without his newest shiny toy? And the 1st string defense dominating the twos? To be expected for sure, but still great to hear. Also excited to hear that Bass was 4/5 on kicks while Hauschka missed a PAT. That's two kicking competitions in the stadium that Bass has dominated. Loved listening to Jerry Hughes afterwards as well. Wrap the starters in bubble wrap and bring on the Jets.

Does it seem to everyone that the 1st team O went against the 2nd team D and vice-versa?

They really aren't. We just have to hold our collective breaths that they leave Beane and McD alone.

I sort of think that too. I believe they gave him the extensive work earlier in the week when Josh went to him 7 times in 11-on-11 drills.

I agree. Somebody else then made an asinine comment that, I felt, warranted a response. Come on, dude. I don't want to debate this any further and I'm not commenting on anything other than the scrimmage.

That's fine, but the question of whether or not they will scrimmage is what brought this discussion into it, and then somebody made a dumbass comment.

I'm sure you are both the "players should stick to sports" types as well. If you don't like the discussion go to another board or start your own thread. Unfortunately this is not about "politics" it's about social justice. By ignoring it or wanting it neatly categorized somewhere else you are part of the problem, not the solution.

There are already several NFL teams not practicing today...

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on this as I don't know the man personally, just what I've seen online and on the air. What he did was absolutely not smart, however.

I think the other reporters have been doing a fine job and providing content. Buscaglia and Fairburn have put out great reports on The Athletic. Brown was just stupid.

Don’t hold your breath that this happens.

I mean, come on. That exchange with Tasker was as blatant a violation of the reporting rules as you could ask for. Just stupidity on the part of Brown. Debate all you want whether NFL teams are going overboard with this, but the policy can’t be more clear.

That’s funny. Until I read the title of this thread I had completely blocked out that Sammy wore #14.

Agreed, I was never a fan. Besides just toeing the company line, his “interviews” were painful. He’s the type of interviewer who asks a 5-minute question and answers it himself in the process. Sort of glad he’s out.

Yeah, a guy who might have a knife is a deadly threat to two or three cops with guns. That sounds reasonable.

Yep, that's what they're complaining about. The guy was unarmed.

Wow. That's how you get some attention. Peacefully.

I didn't watch the 2018 games when Josh was hurt. Seriously. I knew they stunk and the only thing I wanted to see was the rookie QB. The end of that season was awesome.

Take this for what it's worth, but the Sunday Ticket streaming app that Max subscribers have access to for their phones/etc. does not have those functions. I don't know if there is a separate streaming app for the non-satellite subscribers (but I doubt it).

2017 is #1, easily. I'm not ashamed to admit I got some sort of irritant in my eyes when Cinci beat Baltimore. 2011 started with such promise but flamed out and can't make this list. 2014 was so weird. Lots of ups and downs, but coming off the Green Bay win to lose to the 3-13 Raiders ruined that season for me. 2018 is #2 simply because it was the beginning of Josh, and by the end of the season you could see his potential. 2019 is #3. An imperfect but talented team that beat who they were supposed to, had some great primetime performances, and set us up for the future.

What in freaking hell is wrong with some people? And in this instance, you?
