  1. These things don't matter when you win by 2-3 scores. When you lose by a field goal, well that's another matter.
  2. Why did Stefanski NOT call a time out before the punt? We just lost 30 seconds or so. We have 3 timeouts.
  3. So, here's something to consider. The NFL conducted its investigation...and passed their findings on to Judge Sue...or did they?? There have been 25 civil complaints filed; there were I believe only 24 which had been filed at the time of the investigation. Of these 24, 12 refused to talk to the NFL or in some way could not be contacted. Now, first of all what up with that? You say this man sexually violated you, traumatized you to the point you needed therapy, a career change, couldn't sleep at night, etc and you don't have a problem putting your name down in a lawsuit where you might have to testify and will almost certainly get paid $$$ , but you DON'T want to talk to the NFL, who you know full well is trying to punish to the fullest to the best of their ability the man you say sexually violated you, but there is no chance of any $$$ for you. This is your chance to strike back at the son of a bitch that violated you - and you only have to talk privately to an NFL investigator not face the accused in open court - and you take a pass? This case was ALL about numbers. Everyone says Deshaun's guilty because of how many women there were - but when it comes down to talking with investigators instead of talking to Buzbee now half of them don't have anything to say or cannot be found. Further, of the 12 they NFL DID contact, the NFL themselves didn't feel that the information they garnered in SEVEN of those cases to be I guess you'd say "helpful" to the cause of getting Deshaun indefinitely suspended. Does that mean the NFL didn't deem there was sufficient evidence in these 7 cases? Did it mean they found glaring contradictions of the assertions being made in those cases? Are there written recommendations on a case by case/woman by woman basis by the NFL investigator(s) submitted to their higher-ups/Goddell about which cases/women should be forwarded to Judge Sue and which ones should not? If the NFL is sued by the NFLPA and Deshaun Watson, would ALL of this information (not about the four cases that made it to Sue's desk, but ALL the ones that DIDN'T make it to Sue's desk and WHY they didn't make it to Sue's desk) be subpoenaed by the NFLPA? It seems to me highly suspect that Judge Sue can make the sweeping "indictments" she made about Deshaun - which, in fairness, may be totally on the money - WITHOUT considering the entire picture, which is what is up with the OTHER 20 accusers and why is the NFL withholding what they learned about them from their forwarded findings to Judge Sue? If 20 people filed civil suits claiming Deshaun was guilty of sexual impropriety and the NFL discovered many of these didn't have enough merit to be sent to the judge, shouldn't the judge and public be made of aware of those fine particulars? The judge mentioned "mitigating factors" in her report - she couldn't mention as a mitigating factor that the NFL didn't find enough merit in 20 other women's claims because the NFL didn't forward to her any information about their investigations into those 20 other women. If we had the whole entire picture, people - including the judge herself - might be feeling differently. Maybe. But we DON'T.
  4. If Deshaun was really up to no good all along, and the Texans had at least an inkling on what the situation was (if not complete knowledge,) why then would the Texans hold out trading Deshaun for maximum compensation? If the Texans were somehow complicit in some way, and/or knew at least partially the full scope of Watson's behavior, it seems to me they would be (surreptitiously) EAGER to cut ties with him, BEFORE news of their complicity AND/OR the full scope of DeShaun's activities became public [the point (it would appear) we are at now - although perhaps there is more to come.] Why play hardball in holding onto an asset whose value in the near future could approach zero (that near future being now,) when you could get something good for him (one and a two, one and a player, two first rounders, combinations thereof) before the other shoe drops? Why draw a line in the sand at 3 first rounders when time is definitely NOT on your side? Ultimately it worked in their favor, at least for now, but clearly that may not have been the case.
  5. If need be, now momentum has been established to push the game back even further.
  6. Stefanski allows the Ravens to 3-4-7-8 yard themselves to a 90 yard touchdown - and mind you anyone could tell those dinks and dunks were going to set up the eventual deep shot which of course they did - successfully. Then, hey, only the VERY best placekicker in the entire history of the NFL will be attempting the onside kick, but no way is he gonna notice that your 250lb huge bulky FB is part of your "hands team" and he won't decide to kick it in his general direction. Man I want to like Stefanski but Jesus Christ.
  7. Stefanski has been running double tight end sets on both sides of the line all year keeping this play tucked up his sleeve knowing it would work when he pulled it out. Since he runs so much double TEs (sometimes - as yesterday - with an OL as the "interior" TE) there was no red flag for the defense to tip them off. It was just about fool proof and Stefanski had the patience to wait until the biggest game of the year (so far) to break it out. I mean he could have broke this play out earlier in some of our tighter wins, but was thinking ahead to the bigger stage. This guy is ALWAYS THINKING. We got ourselves a really good coach. In time perhaps he will reveal himself to be great.
  8. We are now two games behind the Steelers and they have us, Indy and Buffalo left. And I think Cincinnatti. Our game and Buffalo they are on the road. They are cratering and we could conceivably catch them. The problem is if we beat them and end up with the same record, they will have a better division record UNLESS the Bengals can pull off a huge upset. Is there any other scenario where we end up tied with the Steelers with the same record and can take the division other than the Bengals beating them? Of course, the Steelers could implode and lose to us, Indy and Buffalo and if we win out we could win the division outright. It could happen. They just let the Washington Football - at Heinz Field - come back from 14-0 down and beat them. Anything is possible.
  9. It looked like we had 2 browns out in front to pick off one Raven and our 260 lb punter would have got the first down. Except neither of those two Browns picked off the one Raven.
  10. By about 2 yards or more it appeared from the angle the showed. ???
  11. The Baltimore Ravens have never I hear you, but OTOH, when you are 14-2 and have a young dominant franchise quarterback your draft by definition is not a desperate, pressure-packed can't miss affair that leads job-insecure GMs into wild pinata-swinging misadventures, like a 28-yo rookie QB in the 1st round, an extremely average RB w/ #3 overall, a 1st round immature drunk little boy QB, Barkevious Mingo, Justin Gilbert, a litany of trade-downs from high positions that never yielded squat (Phil Taylor and the examples get worse from there), and all the rest. It's been said a million times - nothing succeeds like success.
  12. Schefter is reporting an expanded role for Dee...word is whoever our new hire is will be reporting directly to her.
  13. Firing Freddie on Monday = get outta here! Firing Freddie tonight = get the FUCK outta here!
  14. Unbelievable. We are playing the WORST rush defense in the NFL - we have the NFL's LEADING rusher - and three passes in a row. Early in the 1st quarter. Simply unreal.
  15. What is missing here is the two Steelers offensive linemen holding Garrett down.
  16. What do you think would happen if Myles Garrett went to the Cleveland police and had Mason Rudolph charged with assault for attempting to rip his head off, kicking him and punching him in the groin repeatedly and charging him violently while other huge NFL linemen held Myles? it might not stick legally (then again maybe it would), but it would be great publicity and possibly great leverage as it is TOTALLY clear he was repeatedly assaulted by Mason Rudolph and everything Myles did was self-defense. It's all right there on video. It could possibly force the NFL to back down if the law comes to a completely opposite conclusion from Roger Gooddell.
  17. And the last two games Baker did this against two of the better defenses in the NFL - so nobody can say that he did it against soft opponents. Definitely encouraging .
  18. Anybody got anything to say now? Mason Rudolph is 6'4" 240 lps thereabouts - all built by an NFL strength team/weight room (plus whatever else...) and is wearing NFL cleats and twice goes after Garrets ability to sire children - and you STILL you think its Garret's fault? My father is a Vietnam Veteran who volunteered for service in 1964. He told me growing up if somebody hits me I goddamn well better hit their ass back - or don't bother coming home.
  19. Are any of you people going to address the fact that before Myles did ANYTHING he was kicked in the BALLS by Mason Rudolph? Are you all seriously going to act like that shit didn't happen?
  20. Mason Rudolph CLEARLY a) tired to remove aggressively Garrett's helmet on a play where there was not any foul (for roughing) and then b) twice tried to kick Garret HARD in the balls. THAT is when Garrett went after punk ass Rudolph and defended himself like ANY MAN would do. And they looked at the video and DID NOT kick Mason out of the fucking game? Are you fucking KIDDING ME? What a fucking BITCH Mason Rudolph is. Deserved to get smacked in the head. Fuck him. Yeah, they are gonna suspend Garrett a bunch but so fucking what. Any man come's for your balls that deliberately we are taking it to the streets immediately. I mean seriously, WTF?
  21. Why in the name of fuck did Freddie go for it on 4th and FOUR? Three points and the LEAD are staring you right in the face - and the Bills get the ball after the half. Does this guy spend all week smoking crack? Why is he obsessed with NOT taking points that are gimmes for longshots against really really good goal line defenses? WTF?
  22. Oh look, more drama involving Antonio Brown. Hours after his release from the Oakland Raiders, a video surfaced on Twitter showing a series of messages between Antonio Brown (via his Instagram) and an unnamed individual who says they have audio from a personal trainer that is supposedly extorting the newly signed Patriots receiver over false allegations of rape. 3,758 people are talking about this 131 people are talking about this Here are screen shots of the DMs: Via Popculture: As of now, this is just a rumor coming from an unnamed source but definitely something to monitor going forward as Brown begins his career with the New England Patriots.
