Then why watch at all?

To compare, would Buffalo have trusted a rookie Allen to pass in last night's weather? Jones is a rookie, who doesn't have the arm Allen does. Not many do. So it would be stupid to force passes that they didn't need to. People always want to compare players in the now, when Allen has a 3 year head start in his system, and playing in the NFL. You can't directly compare the 2 players, especially in the crazy weather.

It was weird. Once Michigan adjusted to that PA bootleg that worked some in the 1st half, their offense was toast. Ferentz is a great coach, and he overachieves at Iowa, but how can you literally have no other plan than that? Michigan has a decent chance in the playoffs, but they need more out of McNamara. He shows flashes, but he needs to have a Nick Foles type playoff switch to get them a championship. The defense and run game are there.

You're nuts. How many games have you watched? Hooper has been very good. He doesn't put up huge numbers because they run so much, but he is a good blocker and he moves the chains. Njoku has been good too. His hands are iffy at times, but he offers downfield passing in a TE, and his blocking has improved a ton. Malik Jackson has been very solid. He's definitely not what he used to be, but he is still an above average starter for sure. Wills played over half the year on 1 leg. He had a severe ankle sprain in week 2. And despite that, his running blocking was still good, he just struggled in pass pro until it healed up. Also, Mack Wilson isn't a starter at this point, and even Walker is replaced by Malcolm Smith a lot.

QB is at least questionable right now. TE is not a weakness at all. If Harrison Bryant is your 3rd TE, you're doing just fine. WR, as someone else said, needs a #1, or at least a speed guy to back the defense up. Not just a guy who can run fast down the field, he needs to be able to produce when the defense moves up to stop Chubb/Hunt/Johnson. Landry is fine. Higgins is fine, just has the injury bug this year. Schwartz is the speed guy, but has been hurt, and not produced much yet. Peoples-Jones is hot and cold right now, but has been injured a lot too. He has the potential to be a solid #2, maybe more, but needs to keep improving. LB is debatable. I think they need to upgrade at MLB, but they rarely play 3 LB anyway. Owusu-Koramoah will be a Pro Bowler, and soon. Dude is a missile, and reads the offense extremely well, especially for a rookie. DT they basically need depth and youth. Malik Jackson is good, but older. Malik McDowell is really good, especially for where he has come from. He needs to improve no doubt, but he is extremely overpowering at times. And Jordan Elliot is a good, quick tackle. Not great, but pretty serviceable.

And even with 3 sacks, Hutchinson was held WAY more than what was called. He was headlocked to the ground at least twice that I saw that wasn't called.

Nope. Not sour grapes at all......

The NFLPA doesn't want it after the draft, especially now with the slotted draft positions. FA players land bigger contracts when there is the unknown of who will be available in the draft.

Peanut butter and pickle sandwich. Not very often though. Like once or twice a year. It's weirdly delicious.

He's dropping passes non stop too. In 6 games this year I'm pretty sure hes dropped 3 4th down passes that hit him square in the chest.

Stallworth is similar, but not the same. He was drunk, but the other guy was also crossing a major highway, at night, in an area with no light if i remember right. He deserved to be charged but its not the same as this incident.

LT Wills is back, Conklin is out.

Hunt is out, they put him on IR this week. D'Ernest Johnson starts, with John Kelly, who was great in the preseason, as the backup, and Demetric Felton as a 3rd down/receiver. Johnson has played pretty well when given the chance, he just get next to no carries with Chubb and Hunt in normally.

The dude had a full handful of jersey on his back. Can't be an easier call.

Watt should be suspended for the forearms to the head last night. He wasn't going for the ball. The hit to gut he may have been, but the 2 forearms he was not. Pittsburgh has been dirty for years, but always play it off as "being physical." Hines Ward is the dirtiest WR I have ever seem, and James Harrison is close with Burfict for the dirtiest player I've seen.

Mayfield's MRI came back bad enough he's getting a second opinion. Being that the Browns play Thursday night, it sure looks like it'll be Keenum this week. The Browns are decimated by injuries to major players. Chubb, Hunt now, Wills, Conklin, Landry, Beckham, Newsome, Janovich, Owusu-Koramoah, and Walker are starters who have all missed games, and Mayfield has been injured since Week 2

Rudolph is hot garbage. Mayfield is struggling for sure, but Rudolph is bad enough they'd rather play Ben at 60% and $40M this year.

The Browns never offered him $40M.

It's under 2 minutes. That's how it works.

Obviously, you take away their best defender and offensive weapon and that changes everything. And yes, I'd bet on Buffalo 10 out of 10 times now, but my point still stands. You can't say "Pittsburgh had all offseason to prepare for Buffalo, that's why they won" when the exact argument could be made for every week 1 game, and for Buffalo in that game as well. I hate Pittsburgh, and I wish Buffalo had beat them 50-0.

Buffalo is obviously the much better team, but that's the dumbest argument I've heard in a while. Buffalo had the same amount of time to prepare as Pittsburgh did.

Or, he can not sign it until the deadline. They either have to recind or hope they have a partner lined up who will pay Trubisky top 5 money, which no one will.

He put his shoulder straight into his head. It was deliberate. Both offenses look bad so far.

I honestly didn't know that. I respected Ralph for voting no to the move. He and the Rooneys were the only ones to do so. I hate Pittsburgh but will always respect the Rooneys solely for that. All his receivers minus Andrews are hurt, and he has no one else to run the ball. If he is the entire run game, he'll be on IR with them in no time.

They stole my team. This x10000.
