I mean, the guy is a clinician first, I wouldn't really call him someone who writes for a living. Unless I'm mistaken and he's no longer a clinician? I also thought Bass had osteitis pubis. Nasty thing to have, but surgery is pretty unusual unless it's a really bad case.

I mean, aside from that drive he didn't do much. Even the Steelers looked like they couldn't be stopped on that one drive yesterday.

That should help on both sides. As for Cincy's defense, the last I looked they are ranked #32 in total defense, #31 in pass defense, and #31 in run defense (over 150 yards per game). They are also ranked #32 in scoring defense, #28 in red zone defense, and #31 in 3rd down defense. No excuses on Sunday! Right now looking like cloudy, 26 degrees, 22% of snow, light winds.

I thought the same thing. I saw them take over with over 10 minutes left, and was hoping to see a nice, long, time-consuming drive. I recall looking up to see they had just gotten a first down and there was 3:29 left and thinking, "Damn, they did it."

Same here. The true test of a person isn't how they perform when things are going well, but how they handle adversity. Brady is taking a lot of heat for his offense, and now he has multiple key injuries, he's facing a strong pass rush, and is going to have a sloppy field. He either steps up and calls a good game, or he withers under the heat. This is his big test. His performance thus far doesn't instill confidence.

Getting ready for a stat line of 2 targets, 1 catch, 4 yards.

Will there be a discount for my seat, which never had a cup holder on either side?

Signed to the active roster, too. Not the PS.

Our best chance is to win out the rest of the regular season. Can they? Possibly, but the chances are not great. But they need to, since McD's record in the post-season, on the road, is not so good. Can anyone imagine McD winning 3 post-season road games as a WC to get to the Super Bowl?

Yeah, we need bodies, and Shaq is someone they can plug in pretty quickly. But I agree with Pat on these points:

True, but let's see how they actually do against Det and GB. They've only played one of those four games so far, and they were spanked by Det.

It's from 2023. It was retweeted today probably because of the Raiders firing.

There's this as well...

The whole premise for it was, do you agree or disagree? Until now everyone just focused on Brady's predictability, or Canada.

Finally, an actual response! That was from 2023...

Honestly, it was a whole series of things, not just one thing. I actually think our Offensive Line has been very overrated. They absolutely stunk on Thursday. All five of them.

Great story. Well, not great that you had to go through it, but still great. People tell me all the time that they're not concerned about the flu. I ask them if they've ever had it, and most say "I'm pretty sure I had it before." My response is always: there is no "pretty sure". If you've had it, you'll always remember it, and you'll never want to risk it again!

Outstanding response!

...do you agree or disagree?

One thing about scheduling Thursday games for teams coming off a bye, is that they then would go right into a mini-bye. Not a huge problem, but not sure how that would impact scheduling.

It feels like NFL history is replete with overall #1 picks who never panned out or lifted their franchise out of the cellar, and plenty top 10 picks who did. Doesn't seem like it needs to be messed with to me.

I find that so hard to believe. I didn't see the injury at first so I went back and watched the fumbled punt, and he was walking around at the end of the play without any sort of limp or sign of pain. Maybe something developed over time, but I really doubt it. Was he in for any plays (offense or special teams) after that fumble?

There's this to consider... https://x.com/unvaultedlocks/status/1990880704754852178?s=20 (In case you don't want to visit the link..."Nico Collins without CJ Stroud this year has 3 straight games of 75+ yards receiving (75, 136, 92), with CJ Stroud he's only had two games over with 75 or more. Another big night incoming for Nico! 🔒")

FIFY

Of course I did. If you actually read my OP, you would see that I’m not advocating for anything in particular, and I certainly never advocated for “passing all the time.” I’m just posing questions based on that material in the video. Thanks for that, though.
