Stop calling deep routes on 80% of plays

Love to see Gabe Davis transform into Playoffs Gabe Davis, for sure

Lawrence Taylor and Ronnie Lott, but 6'5 and a good cook

Of all of these, Beas feels like the lowest hanging fruit. No question we've missed a reliable 3rd down slot receiver who can get 7 yards. Looking back at the 3 games we lost, it absolutely feels like Beas could have helped keep a few drives alive, which might well have made the difference.

just stop

just screams 'elderly mother-in-law easter outfit'

I look at Nate’s shoes then I buy the same ones

Most people are capable of complex emotions. An example of this might be "it's with a heavy heart that I step back out onto this field while #3's fate is unknown" or the opposite of which is "I'm not going to do a goddamned thing until i know 100% that #3 is back in perfect health" Most adults (even young ones) have suffered loss and understand that times moves on and most dont have the luxury of waiting for optimal outcomes before getting back to the grind. None of this takes away from the dark cloud over everything while we wait out the situation, but rending our garments and wailing isn't going to get Hamlin well any faster. Sitting shiva, and similar ritual in dozens of cultures across the world has been practiced for thousands of years. Although not a perfect analogy because all indications at this point are that Hamlin is going to survive and hopefully have a full recovery, it remains a worthwhile philosophical approach to the current situation

Most human beings have coping strategies when things get hard. I don't see how refusing to work is going to help any of them cope? Will they ever be expected to play again in your mind?

Damn, that's great

That thought struck me as well. He is, through no real fault of his own, going to bear the burden of this the rest of his life. I work with a woman who ran over and killed a guy like 30 years ago. She wasn't charged because it was a dark rainy night, the guy was wearing all black, and basically jumped in front of her car, but its still with her

The Cinci fans have been 100% class, as someone else said. Many of the Cinci players have been great, and especially the coach. Having said that there did look to be some dirty pool going on. It's possible for all these things to be true.

My mom was a school psychologist. She forbade me from playing football, and I had a batting helmet that make me look like the Great Gazoo. She had seen too many young men getting concussed and having awful downstream consequences. This was the 1970s when 'getting your bell rung' was a sign that you were playing hard. I was mad about it at the time, but I get it now.

The NFLPA has the league by the shorthairs right now, I doubt we're going to see the usual league lawyerball/letter of the law stuff when this moves towards resolution

Like you, I've been watching football long enough when I can tell pretty quickly in a game how's its going to pan out. It didnt take long last night for this one to shape up real ugly. TJ, Josh's ankle/knee, then Hamlin. Obviously Hamlin is orders of magnitude more serious than anything else, but the point is that the game looked like it was going to be a real sht show for Buffalo

what on earth are they going to talk about on ESPN

Yeah and the thing is, I left a job that had a terrible work/life balance and took a substantial paycut to go back to where I was. It was an easy decision once I actually faced it, so it's not hard at all to imagine some of the thought processes guys like Tre/Morse/Hyde/Poyer must be going through right now. I encourage each and every one to think about their future

You have to think that if someone is on the fence about retiring that this would weigh on them at least some

People want instant answers and resolution, which we've been trained to expect. This isn't going to be one of those things though
