The refs are ruining this game

Benford being out is not good.

Ok boys, let’s matriculate the ball down the field!

I’ve never looked at their ratings good or bad.

Damn. One of the best, if not the best, ever LBs to play the game. And his Lite Beer commercials with Bubba are classics.

I was at the first ever game. a preseason game against the Redskins. First ever play at the RIch Herb MulKey returns the opening kickoff for a TD.

Elam gets his shot. Ingram up from the practice squad. Onward.

After today it’s time to recognize Davis is a great complement to Diggs. Then you have two TEs that can catch, Sherfield’s getting a couple a game, and Josh is using his backs more. No reason to bring a head case into the mix.

Hate to see this. The guy is a warrior and to get another really serious injury has to be gut wrenching for him. Assuming he’s out this year, I’m wondering if he could be like a Rod Woodson and transition to safety next year. I’m assuming Poyer won’t be back.

Personal BS. Right. Sure.

Time for the young man to step up

I don’t want to hear anything more about Davis

It does not have to be that the D is bad. It is because both offenses on that filed are playing great.

Nope.

Ok boys, let’s matriculate the ball down the field!

But is one’s judgment clouded because one expects to see poor performance?

Yeah, I should dial it back a bit. Thanks for pulling me back in. I just find it interesting that after two blowout wins some still look for boogeymen, and fixate on a player or two. I am certainly not saying Spencer Brown is an All Pro or anything, but I have been trying to pay attention to him specifically and to me he just doesn’t look as bad as many are saying. Can he be better? Sure, in pass protection especially. But he’s not a train wreck so why keep referring to him as such?

You don’t like being told you might be wrong. Too bad. I will say again Brown certainly has room to improve.

I am appreciative, but merely going by what he said. What he said is he saw one more pressure against Guy A than Guy B, each of which were facing tough matchups (funny how there only one guy was mentioned but not the other first round guy), but decided to cut Guy B slack vs. Guy A because he had already formed an opinion of Guy A. Stats 101 tells you that’s confirmation bias. I have said both in your thread and here Brown can certainly improve. But you are bound and determined to throw him under the bus regardless. In fact in your thread someone informed you that the number of times a guy got chipped to help Brown was much less than you said and you indicated that individual may be right since you actually missed a large number of snaps. Guess what that’s called? Hint - see above. Brown is not the best RT out there. He is good in the run game but susceptible in pass protection, to me because his height and overall size may work against him at times. He is to me the 5the best starting lineman All I am asking people to do is look at the guy with objectivity and not pre-conceived bias.

Do you think it is fair to compare last year to this year given the injuries he was dealing with last year? Ladies and gentlemen, while I understand Brown can certainly improve, the poster is demonstrating classic confirmation bias.

So the difference between Dawkins and Brown was one pressure, the Commanders have Sweat on one side and Young on the other, but Dawkins gets a pass and Brown doesn’t. Right. Uh huh.

I’ll give you an example of a high scoring team with a great pass rush: The Buffalo Bills

So now we have to nitpick? And tell me again how many Browns games you’ve watched.

It’s going to be a helluva game Sunday. They’ll be tough to slow down but we did so last year in 120 degree heat and 4 non starters in the defensive backfield.

As I pointed out since so many fawn over PFF around here, Brown is ranked higher. Sorry if that also escaped you. And since you brought up Jones as a guy that you apparently think is better than Brown, tell me how many Browns games you’ve watched.
