Mr. WEO

I saw, yes. That article was pretrial.

so it was the FAs? Bourne was a decent addition at #2. Henry had a lot of TDs, not a lot of catches--mediocre season among TEs. Judon started off hot and fizzled. SMith, Agholor, Van Noy....not so much. No one gave this rookie a chance at the beginning of the season to be the pick of the 2021 litter or get that NE team back in a fight for the division and the playoffs. That's why he got a few votes. No chance he's ROTY.

won 10 games and got team to the playoffs. No one predicted this.

i did read the article (predates the trial I think). Regardless of whether CTE would ultimately succeed with jury, I believe obvious mental status issues were never broached as a defense. Given that there is no other conceivable defense, why not put it out there?

What was Bass doing at the time that he didn't understand what the plan was?

It does beg the question as to why, if he is mentally ill, such a story would not have made a compelling insanity defense. It's not even listed as having been considered.

link?

After the "deflated balls" were taken away from them at halftime in that game, NE came out and mopped the floor with the Colts and would appear in 4 of the next 5 SBs, winning 3. This was always a goofball story. Now confirmed.

You may not be the last one to call him that...

They both have the same pocket time: 2.4 seconds. The difference between the sack numbers is only because of Josh's mobility. Put him behind the Bills and he's over 60 sacks easily, based on the disparity in pressures. Despite Burrow's sack numbers, he's the most accurate passer and is the best long ball thrower in the NFL this season.

Against NE x2, Jets, Atlanta and KC. Don't know the breakdown beyond sacks. Josh was taking his lumps, he rushed for 64, 81, 63, 66, 68 yards those games--few were planned runs. In the 6 games prior to that, it was 24, 109, 39, 43, 18, and 3 yards rushing. It was obvious Josh was running from pressure all season. More than Burrow, but he avoided the sacks (Burrow needs to learn to not to take so may).

It's pretty good for Frazier. Bills had the best (statically) D (against the schedule such as it was). He's not going to be fired ever by McD, no matter how badly the D collapses in the next playoffs again.

Josh faced more pressure than Burrow. The talent level on the Bills line (Feliciano, Dawkins, Williams....) is what it is.

That's me if I drop my drawers...

Gotta wake the Eagle...

It provides a counter to busting on a guy on a suspect O-line, yet a player and a line that has helped get its team into the SB, as opposed to a suspect O-line watching another SB. Bengals O-line: 51 sacks 49 hits 46 hurries Bills O-line: 26 sacks 63 hits 96 hurries Overall far more pressure on Josh behind it's O-line. Josh being a mobile and quick athlete saves the O-line from proper trash labeling.

hey give him a few more years to figure this out!

No way----it needs a second and third thread!! do it right!!

ya Heir Schiklgruber will be local NFL Kommissar

Nah....Panthers Jets would suffice for the Germans.. Brits bailed on the EU. Empire Strikes Back!

So what? Would it be be better to be a starter on an a not good O-line and watching from home for the past 2 weeks?

lol---a late round 1, 2 and Rousseau for the #1 pick in the draft...

I'm sure they are all cursing that dang line as we speak....in between media interviews asking how awesome is it to be in the SB, representing a team that hasn't been there in a generation.. Anyway, this board spent a good majority of this season complaining about the Bills O-line. They weren't wrong.

Sucks for him—now he has to play in the SB!!
