Drive killers indeed. You can’t play consistent offense from behind the chains.

Interesting stuff. On the matter of subtracting yardage totals for sacks, since that’s already done for the team passing totals and a sack can’t always be attributed to the QB, I think it’s fair as is. But it’s strange that while sacks count towards team passing yards lost, they aren’t considered a pass attempt.

Squares around here don’t be groovin’ to the scene Chung be diggin.

Schopp. Rhymes with nope.

That’s bulletin board material if there ever was bulletin board material.

Yes, there are “sides.” I just find the concept of “sides” as missing the point.

Why does every difference of opinion have to be tribalist in nature? And I would argue that fandom is the LAST F-ing thing society should or needs to be tribal about. If you’ve boiled every aspect of discourse down to tribalism, then yeah, you’ve missed the point. Entirely. And while I don’t agree that anyone reporting on the NFL is incapable of truth, many of them do work for outlets that depend on ad clicks to drive revenues. But that’s on us to recognize the difference. Caveat emptor.

Glad that gives you a chuckle. Tribalism misses the point entirely, as well.

Like I said, it’s the level of criticism that precedes any level of analysis. Pro or con. I think this concept of “sides” misses the issue completely as it relates to competitive team sports.

Criticism isn’t the issue. It’s the level of analysis that precedes it. The stance that Schopp and others take are often myopic at best.

His coaches and teammates have a part in it, too.

Pro Football Hall of Famers. Or ushers at an upscale Hollywood movie theater. Brown keeps up his current trajectory, he’ll end up closer to the latter when it’s all said and done. Bull crap. Oh, and he’s a loser.

Can’t speak for anyone else who thinks he’s a loser, but my reason has ABSOFRICKENLUTELY NOTHING to do with anything about the Buffalo Bills. It has EVERYTHiNG to do with him and the Steelers. Period. So buy AB’s Phathead poster, get an AB bobble head to worship in your AB shrine, and root for the Raiders ‘til your heart’s content, but stop projecting your reasons for loving him onto Bills fans around here.

Antonio Brown quit on his teammates, coaches, and fans during the most important week of the season while also finding time to rip a teammate because that teammate was voted team MVP by his peers on the team and not him (Antonio). That alone makes him a loser. What do you call that kind of player; a winner?

Don’t know if he can play a lick on the OL, but I’m already betting on him to win any strong man competition he enters.

No coke, pepsi!

Why, thank you. Thank you very much.

Might as well just come out and say he’s made the team and will be my starting TE on opening day.

Just because a team has more than adequate cap space to make a deal, it doesn’t mean that they’re automatically willing to agree to whatever salary demands a targeted player makes. I suspect that Brown, assuming he would ever deign to play here in the first place, would ask for the moon as a premium to do so. And if a player will only play for you under certain financial conditions, it’s smart to tell him to go pound sand if he doesn’t value anything else about your organization. Especially if he’s a loser like Antonio Brown.

Are you under the misguided impression that deals are made simply because teams have the cap space to accommodate them?

Comparisons to Christian Okoye’s entrance to the league are odd. He was a second round pick for crissake. And a physical freak and a great all around athlete to boot. Never mind that he played college ball. Wade’s path couldn’t be more disparate.

It’s a fact.

Too much emphasis is being placed on Wade’s two big plays in the two exhibition games. As spectacular as those plays were, they don’t inform the coaches anywhere near as much as every rep he’s taken from OTAs, to mini-camp, to now. Each rep has been captured on video and broken down in the class room in every respect to determine Wade’s improvement or not in every aspect of the game. While the two plays are nice, they are just not as useful as an evaluation tool as the full body of work to date.

Not credible.

I agree with all of that. And I’ll reiterate that Robert James was the best CB to ever lace them up for the Bills. He shut out the best receivers in the game; many of them now in the HOF. Pro Bowl nods his last three seasons, including the last two as 1st team All Pro. And he was just in his prime, too. If not for the injury that ended his career at 28, he would have been a first ballot HOFer. He was that good.
