I’m a lifelong NFL fan like most of you, so I’ve seen quite a bit of gruesome injuries and whatnot, but Alex Smith’s was on a whole other level and the mere fact that he came back and played football on THAT leg, seeing it now, makes me want to barf, frankly.

Before there was “Action Jackson”, MarShawn Lynch gave Fred Jackson the nickname “Head”

I remember this very well. Exactly as you described it too. Apparently a lot of other fans remember the same thing. A lot of my memories from regular season games that long ago are pretty vague and yet we all remember the “CJ Mosley game”. Probably helped that it was the season opener.

On a side note, it’s kinda cool that we have become to the Ravens in the playoffs what the Chiefs have been to us 😂

We shall see. I sincerely hope I am wrong, but something like this may impact Hairston’s chance to be the day one starter we all expected. Off season reps are extremely important for rookies. And someone brought up a good point earlier about Cole Bishop and how his off season injury last year had a significant impact on his preparation and ability to compete for the starting job. I really, really hope this injury to Hairston does not linger.

I know nobody wants to hear or believe this (including myself). It was a thought it my head about a month ago, but now, with this news, I’m going to officially make the call: Dorian Strong wins the job over Hairston. it’s Kaiir Elam vs Benford all over again. Guys both players were even drafted in the same rounds I mean come on we did it to ourselves 🤣

Hodor...... Henry is worth 15 million, yes......at age 31. Cook is 25 and prime age for a RB. Henry at 25 would be more than 15 mil in today's (new) RB market. I'm not so sure that this contract hurt James value as much as some may believe.

Also Troy Polallamalamu

Think we all know what the cover image is going to be as well. I’d be shocked with Anything other than the “backwards hurdle”

How many of the TEs ranked below him would have caught that final pass against KC? That's really all I care about. And those are the guys I want.

I know I might be in the minority but I hope Forrest gets a fair chance at the job as well. The kid can flat out ball and is an unbelievable athlete. The problem is, there always seems to be a bias against FAs brought in from other teams and a slight favoritism toward our own draft picks. All I am saying is, let the best man win the job. Whether that Hamlin, Bishop or Forrest. there is a lot more to be excited about with Bishop and Forrest also so I am hoping for a tight competition between those two at the end of the day.

Jairus Byrd was here multiple seasons but his rookie year where he would somehow pick off a pass every single week was pretty impressive and fun. How about Bryce Paup! I know, he was here for 3 years, but that 17.5 sack season came out of nowhere and was spectacular. Believe he also won defensive player of the year! And if we are doing most memorable for the wrong reasons… Anquan Boldin.

A lot of fans also wanted Leggette or AD Mitchell. Funny that I only see the comparisons to Ladd though.

Can relate. When I was in middle school had a buddy with a tv descrambler. Once word got out, he was the coolest kid in class.

Would still love to see Hamler actually get a chance in a regular season game. I don’t know what the issue is here. He played well for the Broncos despite playing on one of the worst offenses in the NFL. His problem was staying healthy.
