Considering that his LT ended up in his lap while he was delivering the ball, you are 100% full of shlt and should stop trolling this thread immediately.

Probably keep our camp on the river here in Western PA to spend April-October. Then buy a winter house somewhere with lots of sunshine and mountains; leaning toward central AZ (Sedona) or maybe SW Utah. Not opposed to the mountains NE of San Diego, but real estate could be prohibitive.

We were only up 21-14 at the half; the Bills didn't go up 35-14 til very late in the 3rd. The Lions didn't even score in the 2nd half until near the very end of the 3rd qrtr on a fluky tipped-ball 60+yrd TD on 3rd/20ish. From that point on they never got within one score of the Bills until the last play of the game because the Bills were forcing them to piece together 10-15 play drives for their points. They played it just right for a road win against what I think was the best team in the league at that point.

Sometimes I think you actually believe your own bullshlt. He didn't sprain a toe then "decide" it was too much. He tore both a ligament and a tendon and was forced onto IR for a long rehab.

What a world we live in where people make ***** up to upset themselves

My mistake was misremembering that he was doing excellent work and receiving high praise from coaches in OTA's before tearing a ligament and a tendon earlier in camp than I remembered. Your "mistake" was that he wasn't injured and instead quit, which is less a mistake than just another outright lie.

Did you know that the toothbrush was invented in West Virginia? Otherwise it would have been called the teethbrush.

The reality that he was injured and didn't quit, like you falsely accused him of. He got hurt at camp but here's what McDermott (who has zero hesitation about calling guys out when they deserve it) said about him during OTA's: "Very impressed with Chase, really just starting with his approach," said McDermott on Tuesday. "Here's a veteran receiver, former high pick that has been on a journey, right, through the course of his, recently, his career. I applaud Chase for coming here to see where things go. He's very focused." "You don't find that a lot around the NFL, where a player has been at a certain level and then is on a mission, right now, to reclaim what he once was in that regard. Very impressed with his day-to-day approach, true pro, high character, smart player and been a good addition to the team." "He's working extremely hard day in and day out and embracing, not just the wide receiver role that he could play for us but also the special teams role that he could play for us," So unlike your false claim that he quit, the truth is that he was focused, working hard and impressing coaches before he got hurt.

I'm not sure what any of this history lesson has to do with the fact that you falsely accused him of quitting last year when the reality was he was injured while apparently having an outstanding camp.

I have some memory of being surprised when McDermott said some genuinely complimentary things about him during camp without being prodded to do so. That's not something you see every day out of Coach and it gave me some hope that maybe he's learned some humility and an associated work ethic. If his head is still in the right place, somebody is going to give him a shot; I hope it's us.

I won't disagree with any of that.

That's not exactly a fair or accurate representation of an injured player.

It's not an excuse, it's the reality of an undersized DT who has to work harder to beat bigger players. Increased exertion leads to more injuries and if the guy wants to be healthy and ready to go down the stretch and in the postseason, this is how he's going to have to approach the rest of his career.

You might as well get used to it. The only way he's going to keep that frame healthy for later in the season when it really counts is by pacing himself earlier in the season. And imo, it's exactly the right way to play it.
