Got to agree with that conclusion. Especially given what others have reiterated; Beane & Co. knew about the allegations that are resurfacing. If they didn’t, which we know isn’t the case, and want to hang their hat on that hook then that’s extremely shoddy background checking and whoever oversees that process needs to be removed. Like anything, I choose to keep my opinions on the matter itself private but wish nothing but the best to both and all parties involved in this lawsuit until absolute certainty and matter of fact can be conveyed.

Give Brady credit. He took that like an absolute champ. Plenty of hard nosed QBs would have been laying in the grass after that.

Same to you Steve, and everyone else. Happy 4th!

Thank you. Great player was McGee.

He was still under contract with the Giants, this they retained his rights if he chose to return. Essentially they don’t lose him for free and remove the dead cap hit is what I’m seeing. Could be wrong though.

Their playoff games are absolute head scratchers. They deviate away from a lot of what is successful during the regular season. Last years loss to us was on the rest of the team but the year prior against the Chiefs? Ooof. He gave KC the win when he was playcalled as a “passing” QB. Regular season king indeed.

Watt has healthy the past 2 years. Played around 80%+ of the defensive snaps too. Often injured? He’s missed 12 games over the last 5 seasons. 2020&21 he came back for the playoffs. To the rest of the post, yeah the outcome doesn’t translate to what his stats have been but they’ve also had very little from the QB play. Very rare do they have a 2 score lead late in the game and can have their guys pin their ears back and get after the opposing QB.

Toast? You think so? The guys they have behind him could produce. Highsmith is decent, Herbig has shown flashes and Sawyer has a chance to show the same flashes Herbig has in what, as it stands with Watt on the team, would be a limited role. Hey ward/Benton/Harmon is a decent interior on that defensive front that should make things easier for whoever slots on the edge. Getting rid of Watt would not be the ideal move for them given where they are at but if they can’t work a contract out, which at him wanting $40m p/y seems unlikely, then the most they’ll get for him is a 2nd rounder as the highest. Either way, don’t believe they are “toast” without him. Definitely not as elite I can agree with.

Always enjoyed watching Alex Smith play. Guy was the consummate professional who did nothing but what was best for the teams he played on. Never complained about the Kapernick or Mahomes leapfrogs, showed up and mentored the guys as best he could.

From the few Steelers’ fans I know, this is one move they like. They feel Fitzpatrick is on the decline, which I disagree with to the extent you move on. They feel Ramsey or Slay transition to a safety role. What are your thoughts?

Well said Bill. I enjoyed the drought years thoroughly, weird I know. There was something about not having an expectation to win when you have one of the most generational talents at the most important position on the field. Winning is great but knocking a team off when you’re a perennial underdog or underachiever is just as awesome. Still, thank goodness for Josh!

And the talk is the Bills are on the short list for the Steelers international “home” game in Ireland… Ooooof

So are you displeased or what?

With the contracts they have extended last year and this offseason, I’d begin to think that as well. The only guy I can see being tagged outside of Cook is Bosa. Even then that’s a huge task and probably unlikely given what he would be signed for and the return on the compensatory pick.

Think so. He’s filling the Von snaps imo, so 30-40%? Someone posted that his play makes AJE obsolete and tradable. I’m starting to think that as well.
