Brand J

I brought it up in another post, but I thought a high ankle sprain was the result of someone falling into your outside ankle and the foot/leg pushing inwards. What Patty had last year. Bernard’s looked like a severe lower sprain and having had one that looked an awful lot like the one he suffered, I’d be surprised if he’s back before the SB. Definitely can see him playing in the SB, but not the next 2 weeks. Of course I didn’t have an NFL training staff to rehab me, so maybe they can work some magic.

Rewatching the week 14 matchup, the OL really has to get their **** together. The offense went into a cocoon after going up 14-0, but much of the reason was because guys were constantly getting beat up front. Spags knows how to scheme 5 man pressure very well, too many times the OL was either confused or physically overmatched.

This team was always going to go as the offense carried them. They’ll have to put it together and have their best showing for 3 consecutive weeks. I feel like they’re due for those sort of performances because they haven’t played super well all year.

Josh has missed him an alarming amount of times, whether it’s an under thrown ball or over thrown. They just aren’t connecting this year like they have in the past.

As was said earlier, Mahomes faking like he’s going to run out of bounds, but then twinkle-toeing up the sideline is far worse than Josh not sliding in the open field when everyone expects him to.

Davis >> Knox

Von has flashed once or twice late in the past few games. He’s just nowhere around when we need him earlier. KC has very weak tackles, so hopefully Von, AJE, Groot, and Floyd can FEAST. DTs have to stop Patty from stepping up and running up the middle.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I always thought the high ankle sprain was when the foot bends in the opposite direction, ie someone lands on the outside ankle and the foot bends outward. A low ankle sprain, the most common, is when the foot bends inward. I just thought he probably had a severe sprain until everyone started talking about broken fibula this and that.

The Shakir TD because the offense had kinda been lulled to sleep and there was an uneasiness after getting outscored 17-3. Once he scored I could exhale.

Happened when I was 21, but you’re right I didn’t have an NFL staff to help me through!

If it is a bad ankle sprain like I thought it was at the time, I’d guess that Bernard is out for a minimum the next two games. He’ll have a chance to play in the Super Bowl.

My ankle bent the same way as Bernard’s, with about the same force, but didn’t slam onto the ground. Took me about 4 weeks to recover. The swelling was epic.

Araiza has at least held for FGs throughout training camp, no other punter has with this unit.

It wasn’t a fake slide. I think everyone anticipated a slide which is why he was able to run free. Make no mistake though, he didn’t pull a Pickett.

The way his ankle bent reminded me of a very bad sprain I had while playing basketball, but mine happened while shuffling sideways, my leg didn’t slam into the ground, so it may be a fracture.

If Knox catches that gimme pass, Bernard may have never gotten hurt.

Outscored 17-3. Offense has went into a shell, defense has too many injuries.

I really thought Brady was going to run it on 2nd and 7 which would’ve got us to the 2 min warning. Whole game changed from that point.

You know the Chiefs fans are happy that Bills are dropping like flies.

Weve got a few contracts on this team that need purging.

I’d go for it before punting from 35 yards in.

Punt from the 32 yard line? No way.

A lot of the newer stuff can be described this way, but not the older songs when rapper’s couldn’t just mumble their way through a beat.

I get the outrage over giving someone a job because of their skin color. That shouldn’t happen, ever. I DON’T get the outrage over simply giving a minority an interview because of his skin color. If they feel they’re being used or not taken seriously, they can turn the interview down. Don’t feel angry or insulted for them. That’s not your place.

What one perceives as a problem, another perceives as an opportunity. Their skin color grants them an interview, nothing more. What they can take away from that interview is experience… and if they’re lucky, a job. To your second point, an organization doesn’t always know what it’s looking for, it’s the old adage “I’ll know it when I see it.” Going back to Tomlin, you could argue the Steelers didn’t have serious interest in hiring him when they scheduled the interview, but Tomlin blew them away and so he got the job. It’s only insulting if an individual allows it to be. Do you suffer from the rule in some way?
