Yeah, why do teams never punish guys who don’t want to play by simply keeping them on the roster? This happens quite frequently in today’s NFL, guys know they can get what they want by whining.

Exactly, it was basically a temper tantrum to get what he wanted. What WR wouldn’t want to play on the Pats?

The last paragraph explains him imo. This isn’t mental illness or any other junk people like making up, this is just ego.

This also shows that Pittsburgh is a solid organization that was able to keep things under control a bit longer. This is all on AB, but the Gruden/Mayock Raiders are a mess.

So everyone who makes poor decisions is mentally ill? Consider me confused how you can determine this about AB.

How do you know that AB is exhibiting behavioral changes? Only those in the Steelers locker room know if this is something new for him. Sometimes things are hidden from the public. Remember when he filmed a video in the Steelers locker room? That isn’t much different than the twitter video from yesterday. I think this is just AB being AB.

This ^ We live in a society that thinks too much. Elite football players are coddled and given special treatment from the time they are kids. Occasionally a guy like AB takes the narcissism that develops from that lifestyle too far. We live in a society that whenever someone makes poor choices we blame mental illness, addiction, etc. You don’t need any of those things to be self destructive. AB might have no problem other than an out of control ego.

Hauschka might like him as a holder, but even that frightens me. Bojo just seems scatterbrained on the field imo.

I’m a younger fan who is quite tolerant of a lot of poor behavior because the world is full of talented people with low character. Many of them are quite successful in various fields of life. I really don’t give a hoot about a football player having no character if they produce on the field. The issue with Brown is that he’s taken his act too far. His behavior will likely cost him the ability to be successful on the field. I’m just glad he didn’t come to Buffalo. I couldn’t have cared less about his alleged character issues, but now it’s clear it will interfere with his ability to play ball.

The D is good, but they created many turnovers and big plays last season. They’ll still be very good, but turnovers and big plays on defense frequently dry up. If Trubisky takes a step back, and the defense doesn’t generate as many turnovers/points off turnovers, this team could be in trouble.

Yeah, someone has to win the NFC North, but I don’t think either one of these teams are real contenders. I understand teams are rusty early in the season, but both teams have huge concerns imo.

I’m not convinced that Green Bay is legit. I don’t have much faith in the LaFleur/Rodgers marriage working out well. I also wouldn’t be shocked if the Bears took a big step back this season.

Not when you throw picks that allow your opponent to start in your end of the field. He also threw a pick six.

One word: Peterman.

First time I’ve literally laughed at a football game. Edit: other than the butt fumble.

Love how Collinsworth praises Trubisky for that random blindly thrown pass down field to Gabriel.

This game is just dumb and ugly now. Wow, what a terrible product.

I like seeing all 22 men with that angle, but when the ball is thrown down field it gets nauseating to watch imo.

Most NFL teams attempt a field goal in that range. It kind of speaks to the possibility their kicking game is still a disaster.

Nope, but in their defense they haven’t had a real QB in decades, they apparently can’t/won’t attempt 50+ yard fields, two delay of game penalties on one possession, and they look generally disorganized on offense. Can’t say I don’t understand the frustration.

Yeah, our D wasn’t bad last season, but the Bears D was elite and made big plays. He benefited greatly from that as well.

No, but I see nothing in Trubisky that indicates the potential to become an elite starting QB. Allen is only entering his second season while Trubisky is entering his their season. The third season is a time to prove it for a young QB’s, and I could easily Trubisky regressing this year.

This Bears team isn’t going anywhere with this offense. The defense is elite, but elite defense doesn’t win titles anymore imo. They’ll be moving on from Trubisky relatively soon.

Exactly, getting drunk before going on tv and drinking way more than you can handle seems more logical than showing up the flu.

Hope no one actually believed the flu sorry haha.
