I'm sorry, let me clarify. I am not saying that Edmunds is a complete liability out there, in agreement with your arguments. He will make most of the basic plays he is responsible for or he wouldn't be in the league. His lack of instincts frequently results in him making poor decisions either putting him in the wrong spot for the play being run or taking bad angles. His frequent unwillingness to attack the ball carrier away from his primary responsibilities is another one. I've never seen him fight through or even put up much resistance to a second level block on him, only at the line of scrimmage. All of these things make him a liability that his teammates have to account for. Given his draft position and physical attributes, this is why I say he sucks. He could and should be much better but IMO he doesn't have the heart for it. He did a bit better last year when a big fat contract was riding on it but he's returned to baseline.

Edmunds sucks for two reasons: 1. He has little to no instincts for the game.2. He'll put effort into making a play right in front of him, but mails it in otherwise. Last year was a contract year and he put more effort into fighting through contact, getting to and making plays. It was the only year I felt he was "average" at his position. Having now gotten paid, he's reverted to baseline, allowing blockers to easily push him backwards, loping along the fringes of the ballcarrier when other teammates are closer. Jumping in on a tackle already being made. Continued poor instincts about where the ball is going. He lacks the appetite for aggression and violence that is especially crucial at his position. Those of us who played the game know it makes him a liability on the field. The fact that he's gone to two pro bowls makes it even more vexing. Chicago believed the hype. No excuses for them.

Review your material evidence more closely. In particular, watch the replay. Look where Edmunds lines up. 3 receivers to the right. Ball is snapped, Love's eyes drift right for a second, which Edmunds reads and shifts slightly right to cover the developing post pattern. So far so good. Love then swings his eyes left, plants slightly left and hits the left slant pattern. At these exact moments, Edmunds inexplicably over-commits to covering a pattern farther right, clearing out and opening up the zone Aaron Jones trucks through for the TD. Even though the QB and running back were both showing left. This is your high paid, veteran, stud MLB stupidly taking himself out of the play. Jordan Love would have had to seriously pivot right to open his body up for a pass that direction and he never did that. His eye fake wasn't even very good, but Edmunds has no instincts for the game. He couldn't even catch up in pursuit he took himself out so badly. A most likely outcome of this play should have been Jones gets the completion and Edmunds tackles him for a short/moderate gain. But thanks to Edmunds, it wasn't. Firechans isn't making things up, he is right. You are wrong. This is a great example why many of us don't respect Edmunds as a top-paid linebacker. I hope you try to see the complexities of the game more.

Jimmy Haslam is getting what he deserves. The Browns and their fans don't deserve this.

Living in Cleveland I get to see his game more now. Weak pocket awareness and his ball placement/accuracy is randomly a little sketchy. On full display last night. Last week I chalked it up to the rain but plain to see last night. I won't be sad if he gets suspended/injured at some point because they late round drafted this QB from UCLA, Dorian Thompson-Robinson, who did some good things this preseason with moxie and may have a legit chance to be a starter down the line.

Poyer's lost two steps. Yesterday, he couldn't run anything down unless it was straight in front of him. McD's going to need to address it or opposing OC's will.

Definitely agree. But I was never satisfied with how Frazier ran the D, hopefully we're smartly and notably more aggressive tonight.

Yesterday I watched the Browns D-line just utterly handle Cinci's O line and it brought back sour contrasting memories of our impotence in the playoff game. We'll get our first look at things tonight.

Well, they looked pretty damn complacent against the Steelers a few weeks ago. Thanks for your great thoughts, I want them to be right. I like reading how Josh Allen is going to be more hands-on about everything with the offense this year. I like that McDermott is running the D and already shows signs of more aggressive play calling and blitzing to pressure the QB. I'm most concerned about this O-line being able to be dominant enough against the teams that matter. Torrence is a Godsend, but if Dawkin's play falls off it's going to be a problem come playoffs. I'm secondly concerned with this D-line becoming a dominant force against the best teams. We couldn't even handle Cinci's patched up O-line last year. We've spent far too much money and draft picks for them not to shoulder more of the load this year. Especially with our MLB situation. Looking forward to seeing how they look Monday. Great test against the Jets. Go Bills!

Yep, welcome back to weality, wight wing weetards. A Trump-appointed judge dealing it out and standing up proudly for this country!

Rapinoe didn't deserve to be on the field. Slow, rusty, and unmotivated when she was brought in. Reminded me of Abby Wambach back in 2015. Washed up. Bye-bye coach.

Interesting development to me today: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/russia-arrests-a-hard-line-nationalist-who-accused-putin-of-weakness-in-ukraine/ar-AA1eaxwR?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=3d662847ac694b4db70e0718ff6a3908&ei=35 Igor Girkin/Strelkov played a leadership role for Russia in Donetsk in 2014 and has ties to the military and current conflict in Ukraine. He's been hugely critical of Russian leadership, including Putin, for some time now. He also doesn't like and is critical of Prigozhin and Wagner. What's interesting to me is why is Girkin arrested while Prigozhin is still free and mouthing off? I've never fully believed the health/cancer rumors about Putin but at this point I wonder if there is some truth to them and Prigozhin is tabbed to soon be his successor? Perhaps just biding time in Belarus until Putin's gone? It just doesn't make a lot of sense to me otherwise. Thoughts?

I can understand, for me all the conspiracy crap went mainstream right before Donnie's election and the Republican Party is just an utter mess of right wing snowflakes since then. While things started well, Donnie's ego and swamp really got going the second half of his presidency. He will mess this F country up for a good long time if he gets back in. He's no longer rational.

No one wants dipsh*t Donnie either, and the Repugnantfans can't seem to get that through their thick skulls. As an independent, if those are my only two choices I'm voting to keep Trump out and so are a ton of reasonably-minded voters. I'm hoping either Biden dies in 6 months or the RNC and party come to their senses. Let's face it, the old guard on both sides cling to power and the money brokers continue to support them even as it weakens and tears the country apart. Most troubling of times...

I liked Tyrod and he was an important bridge QB. My optimism for him fizzled by the end of year 1. On the field, for me, he was a slight step up from Kyle Orton. Both of them left me with vomit in the back of my throat. They were never going to do what it took to win a game down the stretch. Kyle, because he didn't give a crap to risk himself. Tyrod, because he didn't seem to have a clue about when or the need to take risks. Fitz I have respect for on the field because he gave it all he had and took the risks as needed. I'll take losing while trying to win over cowardly losing 100x over.

This stuff is the bomb for sanitizing, definitely worth the investment over the old ways. There are instructions for hydrating and activating yeast. Definitely update yourself as to the advances. You can transfer the wort by gravity with a simple hose or some fermenters have a spigot.

My perspective is he's not processing the game fast enough and anticipating the play. The more notable aspect given the Bills' culture is Washington publicly making these statements. I have to believe there's been a lot of coaching effort and now a lot of frustration with Ed's ability to play the game at a high enough level. I'm not sure the Bills should even award the big contract if he has a monster year. I would question his motivation after getting it.

Definitely not the vast majority of women. Change what you are looking for, make sure you're equally capable of being supportive to her and you'll be one of the lucky ones.

I don't know either of the gals, but I appreciate that Hailee is out with Josh casually made up and dressed in the Post pictures instead of a gallon of makeup and trying to out-hot herself with every snapshot like his ex. Good luck Josh!

What the hell do you actually know about anything in this situation? You seem to revel in rumors, assumptions, and runaway imagination. What is undeniable is that Britt and her friends are on some bizarre "husband material" shaming crusade via social media. Whatever Josh did to precipitate it, does he really want to marry any woman who handles their relationship problems this way? It's completely juvenile and bizarre IMO. Unless there's actually some revealing truth to what happened, any rush to judgment should focus on what we can see and know. And that's one sided to this point.

I'm not saying you are, but you do seem to exclude the fact that this is a team game and the coaches have a role to play. Back in 2008, during the illustrious Jauron years, our offense struggled mightily. People blamed the coaches, the players, blah, blah, blah. At least one of the players stood up and said it was ultimately on them to execute the plays being called. And he wasn't wrong. But later in the season, SF 49ers came here to play and beat us. Former Bill Takeo Spikes did the entire city a solid and went on record crediting 9ers D staff with figuring out what plays we were going to run based on pre-snap cues. Called our offense "simple" in the process. Early the next season Turk Schonert quit as OC complaining of Jauron's limited "Pop Warner offense". These guys play the game. If they don't have faith in the game plan it's a problem and both sides could be blamed. But that won't get it fixed.

True, except that if our coaches chose to reformulate their game plans for the rematch it might have inspired the players to perform better. Especially if they were the best game plans in NFL history. It certainly worked for the Giants in Superbowl XV after we beat them regular season. Boyd and Mixon called out our defense before the first game and Cinci was proceeding to rip through us before the tragedy. So our coaches decided to let it ride anyways. Let's stay on the road we were on. That's a problem in my book, and just changing it up may have allowed the players to refocus. Excuses(explanations) are what you focus on to avoid accountability for failure. When they are things beyond your control is when there's a real problem going unresolved.

I don't think it became Buffalo Wild Wings in 1982. I first became aware of the franchise in the early 90's here in Cleveland it was still Buffalo Wild Wings and Weck, then quickly shifted to BW3's. I believe it switched over to it's current name in the later '90s. And Frank's Hot Sauce was first made in Louisiana in 1920. They are proud of the Buffalo wing tie-in. https://www.franksredhot.com/en-us/about#:~:text=Because over in New Iberia,RedHot is%2C well%2C bottled.

It'll be fascinating to see where Edmunds' career goes from here, he's a fine young man coming into his prime. I hope his new role is more of an OLB and not the heart of the defense. How do turn the heart of your defense over to a 20 year old kid, regardless of his measurables? That was IMO a big mistake from McD. Edmunds is not a physical LB, which was shamefully disregarded. They asked too much from Edmunds early on, IMO. That being said, watching him play, Edmunds has always been lacking that insatiable fire to knife to the ball at all costs that you expect from any top LB. He did better last year, but still not commensurate with the contract he received. So I wish the Bills would have handled him differently but I agree with their ultimate decision. I wish him well and hope the change enables him to become the dominant LB everyone imagines in him.

Not about age, it's about where his head's at.
