Ben is just throwing friggin rainbows out there….

How do we not take the figgie try there?

I really have to wonder whether having Jerry Hughes on this team is worth it. After the incident with a ref calling him a “b-word” on the field and then Jerry aggressively confronting him in the tunnel, the refs absolutely HATE him and routinely ignore *blatant* holds and have been quick to throw unsportsmanlike 15-yarders against him. Given the investment in the DE spot, I have to wonder whether he’s helping anything being out there. For sure, it’ll be time to move on from him after his contract is up after this season.

Jerry was getting mugged right there. But the refs & the ref Union HATES him so no call.

They weren’t calling that at ALL last year and now it’s an area of emphasis?

That was 4th&2, CBS graphic be darned. Not wise.

That is a chubby, squat punter for Pitt. Just saying.

Hey, they wanna get their faces on teevee, too yaknow….

So they’re calling holding this year, I gather?

Wow!

Wow. I’m not a crier and not a crier for the National Anthem, but man that was 😭.

Sure, but it would be advisable to wash your balls first.

The Penn State @ Wisconsin game this past weekend had U2’s “Where the Streets Have No Name” right before kickoff and I gotta say that 1:45 opening instrumental is a mighty good pump-up when at volume. It’s also become a Thing that UW plays “Jump Around” by House of Pain at the start of the 2nd half and everyone… jumps around. They explained some of the story around it that it started in ‘98 by being snuck onto the PA system and the school’s administration tried to end this tradition in 2003 (for fears of stadium damage) and it does register on their geology dept’s Richter scale. https://www.offtackleempire.com/2016/6/23/12007876/b1g-2016-wisconsin-traditions

Maybe have a neighborhood four-year-old set it up. 😋

TBH, there have been several times when during the play, Josh has pointed at an obvious penalty before taking the free shot downfield. But, yes, I don’t remember many times of him spending time arguing with refs to throw a flag. There was the ‘How many times we gotta score a touchdown’ comment on the hot mic last season vs. Denver when we had like five TD plays in a row called back.

Try a range extender. Our garage is kitty-corner across the street ~ 150 feet and it works awesome.

https://www.foxnews.com/sports/tom-brady-stands-defense-every-hard-hit-penalty I mean, this is spot-on and the league has bent over backwards trying to increase scoring by making so many rules against defense and in the name of protecting players, but it’s quite rich coming from a guy who has spent his career kvetching to the refs to throw a flag after every incomplete pass and has benefited from some seriously soft 15-yarders for so much as touching The Brady.

Lawyers go after who has the most money. Just name them in the lawsuit for publicity factor and figure / hope they’ll settle for some 💰 to make it go away. If CB did this, then it’s HIS fault, not the Bills & NFL. #🤬Lawyers Call it what you want, but the time for this was 30 years ago. It’s now even more of a he-said-she-said case unless there is some physical evidence, and they are relying on the current climate as a way to tip the balance.

I would just say that 33-year-old career STer Taiwan Jones clears waivers and doesn’t have any takers. There are several guys who would not. This is a no-brainer. If we still want him, he can go to the squad.

I have no problem with them reducing the seating to 60K. Smaller stadium footprint = smaller cost. The NFL has / will become more of a TV league.

You’re talking NY prices, union contracts 💰, and the ridiculous inflation just in the last few months.

Dobby is now a free elf for a year.

I dunno, and I guess this is an aside in this thread, but with games expanding and given injuries and the current situation, I just think rosters should be expanded. I mean, not drastically. Like… to 55 or 57. And dress that many for games. Full-time guys. The expanded practice squad and call-up rules are cool, but those guys are kinda lesser-thans who can be scooped up elsewhere on a whim.

SI’s new owners fired, like, everyone with any talent in 2019 & 2020.
