This. People are happy that DaQuan Jones is back. I'm happy that DaQuan Jones is back. But we have to understand that DaQuan playing with a surgically repaired pec, 12 weeks post-injury is unlikely to be the same fire-breathing monster he was into Week 5. He may be better than Poona Ford or Tim Settle, but temper expectations. And 12 weeks post-injury is actually not an outlier time for RTP from a pec tear these days. In 2019, JJ Watt came back in 9 weeks, but playing on the edge he's not necessarily in direct contact with another 300+ lb behemoth on every snap. Ditto TJ Watt in 8 weeks. In 2020, Jon Feliciano came back 13 weeks from pec surgery and played effectively at C and G when he did. He talked later about how limited he was in strength training at that point, but he managed. For Milano, though, if it's true he suffered a tibeal plateau fracture injury 1) it's a challenging injury to return to form from. Needs the right surgery and the right rehab 2) it doesn't just involve healing a broken bone then rehabbing, it involves very limited weight bearing for a prolonged time, because any sideways force on the tibial plateau could impair proper healing. And then, bones heal in 8-10 weeks typically, but the repair process to allow full strength takes much longer. If we want the best chance to get Milano back at something resembling his all-pro form, give him all the time that he needs to heal and to rehab.

Ro Ro. Diggs and Fournette not out there.

Gronk should never have been allowed to play with a brace that amounted to an armored club on his arm, and if they did, it should have been with the understanding that the first time he used it as an armored club would be the last time he was allowed on the field with it.

They would have been dead to me. Dead, I tell you. Dead. LIke it was a dirty hit, you'd be livid if it had been done to Brady, just admit it. I have a close friend who's a Patriots fan, I watched games with him when we lived in the same city, and he straight up acknowledged as much.

*shudder*

Is anyone else sick and tired of seeing Von's football-underperforming face in front of the media? Show up and show out, or Shut up, Von. I would love to hear from Floyd or Bernard or even Epenesa or Ty Johnson- someone who is dinged and has been critical to the team when they've played. I'm not a lawyer, but from what I understand, it's also never a good idea for a person with potential legal charges against him to speak out in public.

I tend to respect @Bill from NYC point in another thread, that very likely the responding police officers have a pretty good sense for "what the hell happened". Unless they were sworn in the day before, it probably was far from their "first rodeo" and they've seen it all multiple times

Do we know that LaFleur called the plays when he was in Green Bay? Because it's pretty hard to argue coherently that Hackett's offense didn't work in GB 2019-2021 I don't remember who made the point that the Jets OL is so bad that whoever tries to reclaim Zach Wilson really needs to give him a year behind a solid OL to see if he's got something or not.

I believe its history got re-written

That's a shame. That's a Damned shame.

Lemme fix this for you: "Been playing super Nintendo. Just turned on game. Embarrassing I picked the jets in my work pool."

They look like Denver in the 2nd half of the Miami game Guys making "Career Decisions" all over the field.

The magic 8 ball says "Unlikely to Occur"

It is not true. After the trade deadline, ALL players are subject to waivers.

I know, right? Jordan F'ing "Buffalo made me a Father, Nothing to do there but each other" Matthews. From 800 yds in Philly to 282 yds here. Oh I dunno Jordan, maybe get in the playbook and try to play ball? He's still in the league, BTW. Has been playing ST in Carolina.

I mean, what team in the league has a shorter injury list this time of year?

Wow, this does surprise me. Agree, they will try to re-sign him if they can. Wanna know what team has both starting OTs on injury report and could claim him this week? 🤞

Ramsey is currently leading the league in passer rating against him (down in the 30s). He's like 6th in completion % against. Wanna know who's leading the league in completion % against him right now? I DID not see this coming, I promise you.... ....Ronald Darby. No kidding. Ronald Darby, Bills 2nd round draft pick in 2015. It seems to be a trait of elite WR. Remember Tik-Tok Boy dancing on the opponents team logos?

We don't, we go after Justin Jefferson. If you're gonna dream, Dream Big.

And yet....the Chiefs defense is #4 in the league for points against, currently .....#3 for NY/A passing, not nearly so good against the rush.

There's actually a long history of oral examinations in liberal colleges, dating back to the very first universities in Medieval Europe. It wasn't until the late 19th-19th century that University examinations began to shift from oral to written, and some oral examinations were retained at Oxford (and I think Cambridge) into the 20th century. They're still part of post-graduate education, including in the US, in the form of oral preliminary and thesis defense exams for PhD (US) and "viva voce" exams (Europe).

Ah, traditional Brit Christmas I see....

Peterdude is just Catnip for Coaches, I swear it. Something about him must just be irresistable He's still in the league, you know - with the Bears Spotrac gives his career earnings as $7.4M That's right, $7.4M for a guy who has started 5 NFL games (1-4 record) and thrown 4 TD to 13 INT He's kind of like the Buddy Holly (or Elvis Costello) of NFL QB - for you youngsters, that'd be the ordinary-looking guy in the thick birth-control glasses who made every guy in HS think "hey, if that dude could be a rock star then why couldn't I?"

Tyrod was the #2 for the Giants before he was injured and went on IR. So if he's full-go, it makes some sense to send DeVito back to the bench I guess. Neither of them are the hoped-for Franchise Man so go with whoever has the best chance to win I guess. I'm not sure what Rivera is trying to accomplish with Sam Howell, unless he's injured but not enough to show in injury report.

I thought about that, but it would leave the Bills with only 4 DT, one of whom is just coming back from injury since Jordan Phillips is on IR. They might do that, if they feel Eli Ankou is almost as good as a 1TDT but I think they used him before as more of a 3T? See, here's the thing: who else they got who can play RT? I'm thinking Jonathan might go on IR. There are little hints he's playing through something.
