  1. Araiza has at least held for FGs throughout training camp, no other punter has with this unit.
  2. It wasn’t a fake slide. I think everyone anticipated a slide which is why he was able to run free. Make no mistake though, he didn’t pull a Pickett.
  3. The way his ankle bent reminded me of a very bad sprain I had while playing basketball, but mine happened while shuffling sideways, my leg didn’t slam into the ground, so it may be a fracture.
  4. If Knox catches that gimme pass, Bernard may have never gotten hurt.
  5. Outscored 17-3. Offense has went into a shell, defense has too many injuries.
  6. I really thought Brady was going to run it on 2nd and 7 which would’ve got us to the 2 min warning. Whole game changed from that point.
  7. You know the Chiefs fans are happy that Bills are dropping like flies.
  8. Weve got a few contracts on this team that need purging.
  9. I’d go for it before punting from 35 yards in.
  10. A lot of the newer stuff can be described this way, but not the older songs when rapper’s couldn’t just mumble their way through a beat.
  11. I get the outrage over giving someone a job because of their skin color. That shouldn’t happen, ever. I DON’T get the outrage over simply giving a minority an interview because of his skin color. If they feel they’re being used or not taken seriously, they can turn the interview down. Don’t feel angry or insulted for them. That’s not your place.
  12. What one perceives as a problem, another perceives as an opportunity. Their skin color grants them an interview, nothing more. What they can take away from that interview is experience… and if they’re lucky, a job. To your second point, an organization doesn’t always know what it’s looking for, it’s the old adage “I’ll know it when I see it.” Going back to Tomlin, you could argue the Steelers didn’t have serious interest in hiring him when they scheduled the interview, but Tomlin blew them away and so he got the job. It’s only insulting if an individual allows it to be. Do you suffer from the rule in some way?
  13. Agree with the bolded, but it does open opportunities for minorities that otherwise wouldn’t have been there. The opportunity to interview for a coveted HC position. Nothing more, nothing less. I believe Tomlin was a beneficiary of the Rooney Rule and the Steelers had said without the rule in place he likely wouldn’t have even been interviewed (if it wasn’t Tomlin and the Steeler’s comments, someone correct me on this). Minorities have long lagged behind others when it comes to opportunities for advancement, so I can’t poo poo the rule.
  14. Yeah because if I was a fan of the opposing team I’d be throwing them to get a penalty on the Bills.
  15. Kudos to them for drafting first round replacements in every case, but they’ve beaten the odds twice in terms of hitting on a franchise QB. Those guys are rare, there are way more busts and duds than superstars at that position, but don’t tell that to the Packers. They’re due a drought.
  16. There’s not a fanbase more spoiled than the Packers. To go from Brett Favre, to Aaron Rodgers, to Jordan Love…
  17. Congrats, Lions! When will HCs learn that taking a 5 yard delay of game penalty in the second half is MUCH better than burning a timeout? They just don’t get it.
  18. I’d be furious with McD if he ran fifty seconds off the clock with 3 TOs in his pocket.
  19. I don’t remember any talk of LaPorta going into the draft. I recall Kincaid and Mayer were thought to be the two best TEs. Kudos to the Lions for picking LaPorta before Mayer at the top of the 2nd round.
  20. Sneed is what Kaiir Elam was drafted to be. Long, rangy, fast, and physical man corner. Not sure the light will ever come on for Elam, or if it does, it’ll be with another team and in another scheme.
  21. We need Grape 🍇 Davis for KC. He usually plays well against them.
  22. Dolphins defense is missing 6 starters, but this game is totally on the inept offense.
  23. The good thing is we know them almost as well as a divisional opponent at this point. Bad news is, they know us that well too. Hope Josh brings his A game.
