Low Positive

If you listen to the whole interview, it was not nearly as bad as that clip makes it seem. He was giving boilerplate responses, but then a reporter asked him why he wasn’t getting open. That was the response. He was defending himself from an accusation.

Yeah. Even here in Cincinnati people are starting to talk about that Mike Brown is forcing Zac Taylor to play him. Also, people are asking if he lost his motivation after getting paid. People are noticing that he seems to have little trouble stepping up in the pocket, but he is still taking sacks and not seeing wide open guys. It’s really bizarre.

People, this guy was only on the Panthers as a futures/camp body FOR THIS OFFSEASON. NO ONE WHO MCDERMOTT AND BEANE WORKED WITH IS STILL IN CAROLINA. AND YES I'M YELLING BECAUSE THIS DISCUSSION IS RIDICULOUS.

It's on NFL Network.

Trevor Lawrance doesn't strike me as a guy who enjoys a fine pint of cask ale. He seems like the type of guy who drinks Coors Light and crushes the can on his forehead.

The Giants are about to slide down into that Bears' territory. That team is coming apart at the seams.

You know what's crazy right now? There is not a single KC Chief in the top 50 in receiving yards through 4 games and they're 3-1.

Actually, Jamesis had 33 TDs that season. That stat line is the most insane for a QB in my lifetime. 5,109 yards, 33 TDs and 30 INTs. Players have had more TDs of course, and even more INTs (Vinny Testaverde in 1988), but to have that much success and failure in a single season is really strange.

I just realized that Dawson did the Micah Parsons post-sack crawl celebration.

For all the people talking about the 2021 Jags game, remember that this is an entirely new coaching staff for Jacksonville with new schemes. And they are a much better team that I'm sure that the Bills won't "look past."

Jet lag on a 5-hour difference is not really that big of a thing. Just force yourself to go to bed at the normal time regardless of how early it feels and then it's gone the next day. Use a sedative if you have to. Now, anything over 8 hours is a whole other thing. That takes days. When I went to Asia in the past, I would go nocturnal for a few days before departure to ease the transition.

The Giants have become the team that we thought that they were last year. The worst thing that could have happened to them was winning last year because they were forced to pay Daniel Jones.

Remember when we used to live and die over the results of games like this?

He played every snap. Captain went down with the ship, so to speak.

My way to early hot take: CJ Stroud is a franchise QB and Bryce Young is not.

Ross wants to win a SB so badly just to rub it Goodell's face for punishing him. Because of this, he's demanding high-profile moves even if they don't make sense. People remember Chubb from the draft. I mean, they were trying to get Jonathan Taylor just to make a splash when RB is a strong suit of their roster. They sign an obviously declining Jalen Ramsay. All these moves fit the mold of an owner meddling in player-personnel decisions.

He said on some podcast that he wants to get into the adult industry as a "performer" after retirement.

Yep. Tua will demand a HUGE salary because some other team will give it to him. Then you have to pay Waddle. Even Tua's 5th-year option is a huge raise in cap hit. I also expect that he might not want to play on that 5th-year option. The Fins are all in this year because the party winds down really fast.

They lost to the Colts last year.

That would be a good cash crop of the southern states.

Nah, more like Kelce’s mom.

It’s already a topic here in Cincinnati.

Collinsworth owns PFF.

If you were a Jet fan, wouldn’t you have sold your ticket to a Chiefs fan or a Swiftie for triple what you paid?
