For the umpteenth time, Antonio Brown was a sociopathic, violent criminal when he was a teenager. He was thrown out of his own home because his father believed he was a legitimate threat to his mother. His father has been quoted as saying he's always been abusive and has been this way "since he was 12 years old". His concussions are completely irrelevant to him being a complete sack of shlt as a human being.

Enjoy the game and if you want to make Bills references/comparisons go for it. Just please don't overdo it so as not to annoy the folks who don't want to hear it. Fair warning: Crusaders will be given NO quarter

They were hosed when he took over a minute and also burned their only timeout just to immediately get them into 4th and 1.

As bad as it looked when they made it, imo.

What a terrible thing to say about LBs and Gs I'm not overly sensitive to this stuff. If I remember right (probably not, too many concussions), when everybody thought Tua was going to instantly drop dead if he ever stepped on a field again, I think we were the only two saying that it was his call alone and everybody else should just keep their pieholes shut. But the guy making that decision has got to have his mind right to do it; I think it's not reasonable to expect that decision to be made by a brother who thinks he's Batman.

If you're talking about Hancock, the pick-6 is the exact play we were discussing. Just tell them you've been taking your meds on time and they might let you go home!

C'mon man, you can't expect a dude who doesn't even know where he is to make rational decisions about his own compromised brain.

I like this idea; they should find a way to be extra cautious with that 1 week danger zone. The only downside I can see with this is that there might be people who hesitate to even evaluate a guy because they know it will end his day.

That must have been when Bishop was reportedly cramping. Thanks for the re-check. 🤙

I won't dispute that. But when you start racking up multiples in a shortened time frame, that's when it gets really, really dicey. If folks are correct and he took another one (and possibly two today) while just coming out of protocol 3 days ago, that is when things get genuinely dangerous. I think that is what the league really needs to focus on mitigating, not just the standard bell-ringers that everybody gets occasionally.

Hancock was on the field on 1st/10 when they were expecting a run so much that multiple guys bit on a play fake that Burrow never even ended up executing?! I noticed they were being a little more proactive about getting him on the field early in the game (i.e. 3rd/5s instead of 3rd/9s) but I'm really surprised he was out there on 1st down in that situation.

When you watch the All-22 this week, let me know if Chase is going to the house if Benford doesn't make that play. With Milano late on a bad angle and no safety in the NFL being able to run down Chase, I think he was gone with nobody in the neighborhood but Bishop.

What has changed is that we now fully understand that this stuff can often have long-term, life-altering consequences.

There's no sneaking about it, imo. He's carrying this entire circus on his back.

I get that. But if a player is mentally compromised, it is not fair to expect him to make rational decisions about his health.

I think that camera angle was deceptive in showing how far away from Chase that Benford actually was

Benford was not on the field on 1st down when the Epenesa INT happened. Hairston and Tre were out there on the corners. Anybody know if something is up and if so, what?

He was not on the field for the Epenesa INT on 1st down. Tre and Hairston were on the corners.

I'm honestly having a hard time being positive after that game, so I'm mostly keeping my mouth shut.

We'll have to see a full field replay to be sure but Milano was late with a bad angle and no safety is running Chase down, so if Benford doesn't make that play, it may well have been a Bengals TD that put the nail in the coffin.

If the Bungles have any sense of decency they'll come up with an "injury" and put him on IR for the last 4 games of the year.

Why on Earth would anybody gaf?

I think he thought he'd escaped it but Highsmith still had just enough toe to trip him up.

Lamar using over 1:00 and their only timeout to get them into 4th down right away

Pitt/Balt about to have a fun finish if anybody wants to check it out
