Makes me laugh that everyone always expects craziness at the NFL deadline. Team has no cap space for multiple trades. However the team is already rumored to be involved in a big target, but also that target seems to price himself out of teams who've discussed it and, as pointed out, we have no cap space. Expect nothing, be surprised if theres something... Theres been 2 trades in the league at the deadline.

to Mayfields credit he was still moving in a forward direction which allowed the play to continue. If we're going to blame the coaches for situational game awareness though, then we can obviously blame the players. I will say my biggest problem with McDermott is, in a vacuum, the coaches repeatedly made the same wrong decision while the players made mistakes. The decisions had less of an impact on that game .... and I have to make sure I specify here....at the time they were made; while the errors of the players had a far greater impact on the game at the time. Taron Johnsons hold allowed the drive to continue.... Phillips Facemask did the same....then they scored. Now, McDermott obivously made his decisions with both an overly conservative approach and abundance of caution with JA being injured so I can understand it to a point.. Notice he didn't run as much once he got checked in the tent for his shoulder, and on the 1/2 occasions he did, he slid earlier then he would have. So while I don't essentially like the decisions not to "go for the throat" I can understand them and recognize that they had less of an impact situationally on the game at the time they were made.

I agree on the go for it scenarios, but its not McDermotts fault Jordan Phillips inexplicitly grabbed Mayfields facemask while he had him in a clear bear hug and he was going down. Its not McDermtts fault #7 grabbed onto the receiver on 4th down. The game should have been over twice at that point. Players bear the blame for that stuff. We can grip about the coach all we want but he isn't the one getting penalized to allow the bucs to score the touchdown to make it a 1 score game.

Not gonna lie this had me dying.

I'd honestly just file all this drama under "AP reporter needs to get last word." Whole thing is silly, yet it continues.

Hes not wrong. Honestly I want more accountability for the team having hangovers collectively on Sunday. 13 games (Coulda been 14 who knows) Division winners.... we did good stuff. I want to know why the team looks like they all took a fistfull of benadryl on gameday

I read that as Josh McDaniels because my brain couldn't process how ridiculous it is that it is McCown instead.

No he wouldn't have been "allowed" to play because its not HIS league. He's an employee and works for his team and the league. He would have been put on the NFI list according to the policy and procedure that again, HE AGREED TO, before any of this pandemic nonsense happened. Stop being jaded because you can't come to grips with the fact his decisions are wrong BASED SPECIFICALLY ON HIS LIES REGARDING HIS VACCINATION STATUS. (There I put it all in caps so you see specifically what I'm referring to)

That is exactly the topic of this thread. Just because you may agree with his insanity, doesn't mean that others can't disagree. But as Hapless pointed out no one is talking about his decision to vaccinate or not to vaccinate. We are talking about misrepresenting whether or not he WAS vaccinated....and the justified punishment that should come with it. He didn't wanna get vaccinated? Fine...follow the damn rules. What happens when you don't follow the rules your employer sets? You get some form of punishment. Personally I think his interview was a trainwreck into a tire-fire as far as his "image" goes and likely will cause more problems for the Packers then himself. do I think thats right? Nope. But thats whats gonna happen.

Not gonna lie I fall on this side of the fence. The NFL had to review all of these as part of this investigation....it's on them to take action if necessary....not the court of public opinion. I said some pretty stupid crap 10-15 years ago.... as I'm sure most people have. Now if the NFL is the one selectively releasing these emails as intimidation tactics (no clue if they are or not) then yea either release them or get a court-ordered gag seal on them 10-15 years ago society didn't feel the need to attack anyone who said a thing they didn't like to the point of getting them fired. Don't get me wrong I find most of what was said to range between abhorrent and in poor taste.... but emails from 10+ years ago have no bearing on what happens today....you know unless one of them admit to killing JFK? 🙈

He's on IR.... how many times to people gotta say that lol

The only gripe you might have is that he could have allowed them during the Patriots game, but after that cases in the entire area started to rise dramatically. Now they are even higher. It's not gonna happen at this point. At least the games are being played.

Bell is a FA and a decent back. Name a decent FA Lineman.

In any other season I would agree with you, but they are already losing massively on the season.

they want more time for two more rounds of testing is my guess

I agree with the caution honestly. Look at UB. just had 25 cases show up, who knows how many after that....

Honestly I approve. It won’t inconvenience them too much and I’d rather the players take precautions so they can keep playing. side note: hapless, sorry to hear about what you’re going through...stay safe! Also stay sane! Reading through this thread has been like trying to read the Bible and the Koran at the same time....with the random Cthulhu worshippers who don’t understand why masks are required and just want the world to burn under an octopus faced tentacle monster

lol the percentage of "fans" who get riled up by these things isn't that high. I'd actually wager that the more fanatical "fans" on this site fall into that category. Therefore, the "need" to watch football. Additionally the players earn their money from the owners/league. The league earns the vast percentage of their revenue from TV deals. While I agree that tickets/merchandise is the other percentage; again....people will still watch and buy merch. Those "Fans" will not stop that from happening.

lol, didnt you, or others with this same mindset, say the same thing about kneeling, allowing shoes to be designed by players, letting players voice their social justice concerns, and any other multitude of things that mean players have a brain and can think for themselves? The league will be fine, but by all means boycott the league.... you need them far more then they need you.

This is not the big deal that some people on here are going to make it. It's a good message.

sure they should, when necessary. Was it necessary for one cop to shoot him 7 or 9 (can’t remember) times in the back? I doubt it.

Your point isn't proven because he called you out, in fact if anything it was an affront on your disregard of information because you don't like the source. Like someone else said go watch something "reputable" like Tucker Carlson.... America gets dumber by the day. Edit: Oh and before you say something along the lines of "Well you just called out Fox News so you disregard them too...." I'm able to discern ignorance from biased reporting. Fox News is both.

Agreed. Some of you may be all for playing the law of averages with your life and those around you, but I'm not.
