Maybe you posted the wrong clip, but they appeared to be effusive in their praise of Josh and critical of Tua. The whole point of the segment was to highlight that Tua has never shown that he's worthy of being in the discussion of top quarterbacks like Josh, and also that Josh owns him head to head.

Cincinnati settled for four field goals (2 inside redzone) and their QB gave up a fumble scoop and score. That's potentially 23 points lost right there. But, at the end of the day, as others have said, you've got a HOF QB, head coach and kicker.

Well, he's a grown man and knows the risks at this point. Seems he's content to end up like Junior Seau someday. For his sake, I hope no team ever sticks him on the field again.

I thought the same thing. Running into a relatively skinny guy who is barely moving shouldn't have caused what we saw last night.

Hard to believe that finding out that you're losing your best defensive player for a month is good news, but in this case it definitely is.

Of course, but how hard is it to find some kickers to bring into camp to compete with Bass?

As opposed to Daboll, who looked like the kind of guy to eat the entire tray of deviled eggs at a party before anyone else got to taste them.

I have lost all confidence in the guy and I'm terrified of where this is trending. This guy could seriously lose us a(nother) playoff game or, God forbid, choke away a Super Bowl. I really wish Beane had looked to upgrade the position in the offseason.

As others have said, good depth is a great "problem" to have. More guys will inevitably get nicked up and miss games as others come back. Now we know we have a stable of quality defensive backs to carry us through the season. I love it.

Correct. The second half was a glorified preseason game after Ingram's pick six. Run the ball and avoid injury. Josh played great in the first half when it counted. Consistently made the right decisions, even slid and threw a ball or two away that he'd often force. Guy was completely controlling things for the limited time he saw the ball over the first 30 minutes.

Bass is cooked.

Jesus. Guy needs to retire already. This makes me sick

I don't think it's any of those things. Diggs is/was still a stud, imo, but the offense did improve when Brady took over and we began spreading the ball around to more targets and running the ball more. There's no question we would be a better team if you swapped out Curtis Samuel with Stefon Diggs.

I rewatched the week 18 game from 2023 earlier today on NFL Network. Our defense was terribly depleted and we still held them to 14 points (yeah, I know Waddle and Mostert were out). I'm not really scared of us getting boat-raced. The one thing I noticed from that game was how good Diggs still was last year, even if he didn't always show up. I know we've all rationalized here and tried to create a new narrative of the WR room getting better, but I suspect that we will all eventually miss Diggs, maybe sooner rather than later.

Holy cow...Trump just lost himself the election over the past 5-10 minutes. He sounds deranged. I'm no Harris fan and I'll probably just abstain from voting for President, but no way in hell would I ever vote for Trump.

Your post knocks it out of the park. It takes a special kind of person to be a good/great cop. Unfortunately, there's just not enough of those personalities to go around, so we have to settle with a bunch of relatively decent folks who are not fit for the high stakes of policing in the long run. What you often end up with is highly anxious armed dudes (essentially with PTSD) that are tasked with interacting with and protecting the public. I always try to keep that in mind when stopped by or interacting with police in any situation. Just comply and do everything you can not to escalate a routine stop. (Not going to get into the small amount of truly crooked or power tripping fascists that end up in the police force. I acknowledge they exist and most of us or our loved ones have had run ins with these types at some point in our lives.)

Looks like we addressed the backup QB spot, but who is this "Name" fella? I assume he can't be worse than Mitch.

Well, you're wrong, bro. Handcuffs do not equal arrested. It's not about rationalizing. It's the just the facts. Edit: this is from personal experience on the receiving end of cuffs.

To be fair, Harvard has churned out a ton of irreverent, funny dudes (See Conan O'Brien)

You have to love Fitz. Has never taken himself too seriously and always seems to be living his best life.

Bingo. I like and respect GunnerBill and appreciate all of the time he puts into sharing his typically quality takes with the board, but the bolded is direct evidence that he isn't viewing things relating to Von's performance objectively. As for the larger picture, Bill could be right and it's entirely possible that Sunday is the best we ever see from Von this season and he goes back to being invisible, but he played a solid game on Sunday and definitely created and deserved that 4th quarter sack.

It was a good first game for a rookie receiver. He doesn't look like a game breaker type, but he's smooth, big and seems to have sure hands. Looks like he has the ability to develop into a really nice complementary piece/#2 type of guy.

I'm not too concerned, because this is a game I have us losing to a divisional opponent; even in scenarios where we make the playoffs/win division. I expect a barn burner.

Their guy has 58 career total yards and ours hasn't played a snap. Pretty clear that we lost that trade. 🙄

Look at it this way...it's the difference between a dropped "interception" versus an actual interception. We are talking about turnovers, not potential turnovers.
