I wonder if the Browns choices were limited by 1) needing someone willing to work with Stefanski as primary play caller 2) willingness to work with DeShaun Watson In the TBN article about Dorsey's interview as Browns OC, Dorsey was quoted with an interesting comment: As the leader of the offense. Hmmmm. Maybe it's just me, but I see Josh Allen as the" leader of the offense" and the OC as the designer and play caller.

Um. 🙋‍♂️ It is a huge accomplishment. It's just not the level of accomplishment we as fans (and the Pegulas as owners) want to peak at. But it's still a huge accomplishment. It is very hard to win consistently in the NFL. The season records are littered with teams that changed coaches, had a winning season or two, went to the playoffs, and then subsided to mediocrity.

? Andy Reid’s oldest son killed himself with an accidental drug overdose at age 29 in Eagles training camp. I think Andy Reid missed a day of camp and asked that training camp continue in his absence, then re-joined the team pretty shortly Far as I know, none of the Reids actually killed anyone though, the younger son came about as close as one can come without actually (permanently disabled a little girl, who spent weeks in a coma)

Andy Reid’s son Britt Reid almost killed a little girl, who was left permanently and severely disabled as a result. This was just before the Chiefs Super Bowl loss to Tampa Bay. Since they lost , not sure you could say “didn’t miss a beat”

Dan Quinn hiring his own staff especially OC and DC is SOP for a HC change At the least it’s more common than not But What’s intriguing about this, is that 1) Sam Howell showed promise 2) The Commanders own the #2 pick 3) Kingsbury just spent last season coaching Caleb Williams at USC (Kingsbury was his QB coach) So….what will happen there?

All of you kids, GERROF MY LAWN!!!!!

A while back (can't find it) I saw this thing where guys were shown a bunch of photos and asked to rate the girls in them. There were a lot of critical comments. Then they were asked to rate themselves and they were like "9" "9.5" blah black and I'm looking at the guys involved and going "seriously Dude you think you're a 9?" I'm all about "ratings, who cares, just so you're happy" but the flab bellied basement dweller dissing quite nice looking ladies has become such a meme Huh? Wasn't Brady's separation/divorce year the Bucs 8-9 season where they missed the playoffs?

Ha yeah I sound like I'm all up on the social medias probably, which is ironic since I don't have an account on Insta or X or Tiktok or whatever Brittany did a podcast with Matt Stafford's wife and I ran into an article about it Obviously we agree on Scenario #2

Actually, according to various interviews, they had known each other casually (families were friends) before his "star blew up", but only started dating when he was in college at Wyo. Unclear how serious it was before Allen's "Star blew up" and he was predicted to become a 1st round draft pick in the NFL in 2016 (then went back to school). She was a popular cheerleader sorority girl at Fresno, the school Allen wanted to attend, while Allen was a scrawny geek trying to grow into his height and sending out 1,000 letters looking for a DI scholarship. You can see it in the early relationship photos she posted on her Insta, she gives off "I'm the hot cheerleader" vibes while he gives off "how did I wind up with her?" vibes. There's this little thing called a "prenup" which takes care of that problem.......... Marriage is not required to have such an agreement, it's also called a "personal contract" or "personal agreement". The typical terms involve nondisclosure during and after the agreement, in exchange for something of value (in Williams case, probably an allowance during the relationship and a hefty severance package if they break up). A famous example of a celebrity with this sort of thing in place would be Oprah Winfrey. Pretty sure Josh and Brittany had something like this already in place when she moved to Buffalo. Josh seems to have had a solid financial advisor/agent/social media/legal team in place starting from before the NFL draft, and that's the sort of thing such a team would strongly recommend.

Thanks. Yeah, that does pretty clearly seem to imply that *something* outside the building was dragging Josh down at the beginning of last season and *something different* is giving him energy this season.

I dunno about narcissist but def. seem to trend towards attention seeking and drama with NFL WRs and CBs

A girlfriend who has her own career and money and fame doesn’t need to depend on Josh to get her onto the red carpet or into the A list parties. She can get there on her own If she’s with Josh it’s because that’s where she wants to be. A girlfriend whose thing is basically, being a football player’s girlfriend, can go one of two ways, Either she makes his success her whole focus - Zo Alexander talked about how important his wife was to his success and extended career, encouraging him to take care of his body and eat differently. Or, he’s her ticket to the A list parties and the best clubs and the glamorous life, and the 6+ months of intense football is what she puts up with to get there. My impression was Brittany was in the latter sort by the end of the relationship I mean, different tastes. They are both beautiful women.

I must have missed it, what was Dawkins backhanded compliment? Correct

I don't know if Josh Allen is engaged. But introducing his Dad to Tom Brady was pretty engaging:

LOL Interviewer: "What is it about a sports-y man?" Steinfeld: (drops voice into husky range) "Listen, what ISN'T it about?"

Tyreek Hill has blazing speed. So what's your argument now, that defenses only fear 1 or 2 WR in the league who can "burn them" on one mistake? That's a silly argument. When a receiver is turning in 8-10 reception, >100 yd games you can safely bet that opposing DCs are scared of him and are striving to shut him down. If they don't, you'll see debacles like our first game with Miami where defensive Savant Vic Fangio left Kader Kohou on an island to cover Diggs, and Diggs toasted the Dolphins for 120 yds and 3 TD. Again, I'm not trying to argue that Diggs has scared defenses every game (no receiver does, including Hill), and Diggs has had long silent stretches the last 2 seasons. But to say he has "never" scared defenses or taken over a game flies in the face of actual documented facts. The Bills didn't offer him a big contract extension because he "never" scared defenses. I actually like Sauce better for how he behaved towards the kid. He was 100% cool. Well played Gardner! Pity, I'd prefer to dislike him.

I am personally rooting "one game farther" for them.

LOL at "never". In 2020 when Diggs first came to Buffalo and was leading the league in targets, receptions, and yards while rocking a catch % of 76.5%, teams were plenty scared of him. Not viewing a guy who is leading the league in receptions as a threat, Sure guy.

I can't disagree with what he said, but I also think if he and Josh were tight from his POV, he would have said "that's my brother, and you're never gonna hear me say a bad thing about him". 🤷‍♂️

? Daniel Jones worst career completion % was 62% his rookie year, with 24 TD to 12 INT. He got enough ypg to win, as well, with 233 y/g That was under Pat Shurmur as OC and Mike Shula (yep, our guy now) as OC. He looked pretty good IMO. Compare and contrast Josh Allen's rookie year, 53% completion and 10 TD to 12 INT, 173 YPG which is typically not enough to win consistently. Allen's 2nd year some better, with 59% completion, 20 TD to 9 INT and close to 200 YPG Part of the difference is that Allen got to stay with a consistent crew of coaches that added pieces on OL and at WR. In contrast, the Giants moved on to Joe Judge as HC and Jason Garrett as OC and Jones supporting cast either stayed the same or got worse.

Would you say that seems to be the model in San Francisco?

I don't believe we get one

I agree that Beane needs to invest whatever he can to fix the WR room. As far as two high draft picks though - What am I missing here? https://www.nfl.com/news/2024-pro-bowl-games-complete-afc-roster-revealed Wide receiver (4) Tyreek Hill, Miami Dolphins* Amari Cooper, Cleveland Browns* Keenan Allen, Los Angeles Chargers Ja’Marr Chase, Cincinnati Bengals He's an alternate maybe?

I mean, isn't that part of the "beef" with Diggs currently - that he hasn't said anything after dropping that dime that went right through his hands? He hasn't tweeted, he deleted his Instagram account, he refused to talk to the press in the locker room after the loss or on clean out day?

I mean, what did he break down? He doesn't believe Diggs has cause to be unhappy because he's 'paid' and playing for a contending team, so he's asking "why?" cause all the controversy? It's the same question we're all asking, but what insight or information did he add? Really? You see the shots of that fiery player on the sideline and some of the blocks he's thrown, and that says "checked out emotionally" to you?
