2020 Our Year For Sure Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I am pumped for this game! Compelling stuff on a few different levels. I think the network will be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 We are primed and ready for a deep playoff run. For week 13, we are extremely healthy and playing our best ball of the season on both sides of the ball and special teams. The coaching staff has us (what looks to be) peaking at just the right time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wiz Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 (edited) So Haden has 3 1/2 days to clear concussion protocol and still no word on what the COVID status of Pouncey is. Connors was just activated and Pouncey joined COVID IR 4 days after him. Might be activated late on Sunday is my guess.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 1 hour ago, BillsFan619 said: Great thoughts and explanation, Hap. Thanks for sharing. I definitely see your point. Do you really want a game manager out of a #1 pick though? I’m going to somewhat answer my own question but I’d like your thoughts as well. If it takes him being a game manager for a year or two to start ascending to something greater, then it’s probably worth it for the Browns. Great back and forth, bro! No, I don't think you want a game manager out of a #1 pick. I'll go further, I don't think you can have a game manager #1 pick at QB...because a #1 pick who is starting for his franchise and stays starting, is going to expect to be paid "market rate" for a #1 pick. And then it's going to get harder and harder to keep an impregnable wall at OL and a great run game and great defense around him. On the other hand, a number of QB have started out at "game manager" level and taken a step as they learn to read defenses and react appropriately. So that's one strategy. Because he's being asked to be a game manager now, doesn't mean he'll remain a game manager forever. It's just a question of "wait and see", which I have no problem with in the media applied to any young QB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Man... For the Steelers to lose Bud Dupree, Joe Haden, Robert Spillane, and Vince Williams in the few weeks leading up to the Bills game is crazy. That's A LOT of defensive talent that won't be suiting up on Sunday night. The absences of Dupree and Haden (if he doesn't clear concussion protocol) especially, will be difference-makers. And now I'm hearing that Chase Claypool didn't practice today? I wonder if the illness that kept him out will be serious enough to jeopardize his chance of playing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I just can't even. And what is this argument that it doesn't matter that we beat the Rams and LV because they weren't playing well at the time? How about we get a pass on losing to the Titans and the Chiefs because "we weren't playing well at the time" The answer is we don't, and neither do they. We won. They lost. We lost. They won.

I don't care for the "one ridiculous play away from a win" argument, because then there's the "one ridiculous play away from a loss" argument people bring up about the PI call on the 2nd to last play on the drive against the Rams. I think the plays all count, and the idea is the ridiculous plays even themselves out over time. But to your last...that counts both ways, they don't get to discount or diminish our W unless they want to discount or L to the same degree. NOOOOooOOOOOO! Not Mongo!

Almost exuberant and stubbornly-willful ignorance. I think for whatever reason, as we all know, Allen was so polarizing coming out of college that people who dug in on him being trash, in some cases, refuse to break off of that mindset, and even double down on it.

The Wiz Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Man I don't know what it is but my BBFS is really trying to climb up into my head for this game. I can feel the scratching at the back of my neck and telling me "a lot of media coverage, everyone likes us, they think the Steelers are faltering, everyone is betting on the bills". I'm pushing it back down the best I can but I don't know how to deal with success or being favorited this late in the season. I need to go back to the Josh Allen Haters thread to even my ship. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
