Doc Brown

Given the injury and Stevenson's punt return TD. It's possible he woke up to that reality.

I'd have to see the details of the trade as far as pick protection goes.

Anybody know how to listen to the game from your cellphone in the Buffalo area? I’m only getting ESPN radio through the app.

I know. I said that Mahomes picked them apart in the playoff game before he got hurt. The Browns also didn't have Garrett or Clowney to pressure Mahomes so maybe they can contain him better somewhat. I think the Browns style of offense is ideal as they have the balance to sustain long clock eating drives (keep Mahomes off the field as much as possible) as long as they finish them with TD's. That means going and converting it on fourth down instead of settling for the field goal. They were 4th in red zone offense last year relying heavily on Chubb and Hunt. Attack the middle of the Chiefs defense with Hooper and Landry using OBJ (also didn't play) to open up space. Last year playoffs the Browns killed themselves in the first half with penalties stalling their drives having to deal with 2nd or 3rd and 15 plus yards. Also, don't fumble the damn ball reaching for the pylon for a touchdown.

Should be a good one. The Browns style of offense is ideal when attacking KC. A lot depends on how quickly the new pieces in the Browns secondary gel. If they get off to a slow start Mahomes will pick them apart like he did in the Divisional game before he got hurt.

I see it playing out a lot like last year. Chiefs get the NFC East so I'll give them the nod.

Just airlift the Vikings stadium into Orchard Park and change the logos.

I wouldn't mind giving a late round pick up for him to ensure we get him. He's a superb kickoff and punt returner which is a rarity in the league nowadays. We could easily trade a late round pick for him and absorb his salary (2.5 million dollar cap hit). If not I'll be holding my breath every time McKenzie or whoever is returning punts is about to field it.

You are? Two of the last four Republican presidents wouldn't have made it that far if they weren't already celebrities.

What?

Generally when players keep saying contract year you shouldn't resign them (Lawson and Phillips).

It was a fantasy joke. Never mind.

Pry shouldn't have drafted Rico.

Quick passes, designed screens, and a lot of handing off. I like that it's a 1:00 game so it'll feel like a game day. I believe Josh fumbled the first drive in the season opener last year against a much easier defense than the Steelers.

We’re screwed then.

I tend to agree with you that this one less particular hassle wasn’t the tipping point for the vaccine hesitant. However, if the NFL slowly goes back to implementing all of last year’s rules essentially using Delta as a rationale it may get ugly quick among the vaccinated players.

The NFL used not getting tested every day as an incentive for players to get vaccinated. I don't see how they go back on that now as there's going to be a lot of ticked off players.

That’s pry the best response anyone can give right now.

My point is both created unnecessary distractions. At what point is the hassle not worth the possible return?

All Beasley's doing with his posts is creating an unnecessary team distraction. It's selfish. Keep it in house. It reminds me of when Tomlin said stay off of social media while Antonio Brown was videotaping it on facebook live in the locker room or whatever.

Is having a player spout off on social media about a very controversial subject a part of what we built here?

My guess is Wade is just for depth as they liked him in the draft and the Ravens are deep in the secondary. I don't put too much stock in this being some kind of ominous sign they're moving on from Gilmore.

I wonder what the analytics people of today would've thought of that trade.

I was actually waiting for the Lincoln Project to embrace socialism if Bernie won the nomination. How people can't easily spot scam artists is beyond me.

Good for him. I swore he was from Texas though. Best move Jerry Jones ever made was trading him for assets that eventually took us down in two Superbowls.
