Jeez, Bo Nix is passing like he is drunk. Missing lots of open receivers. Luckily, just about the entire Saints’ team is hurt, so the Broncos are still cruising, so far.

Deshaun Watson probably done for the year after a noncontact injury. Reports are he tore his Achilles.

I don’t know if it was a parody account or not, but read the fans were cheering.

I’d honestly be surprised if they didn’t.

Surely he has the contacts to massage that kind of injury away. Bound to be a happy ending to this one.

And, Jameis Winston is inactive today for the Browns. Wonder why they demoted him.

He really is a net positive to the game, too. Seems to know his stuff and willing to describe things as “meaty”.

I was listening to the game on the radio while driving home from work when the injury happened, and it definitely sounded like some folks were cheering.

I want to know how the Vikings got an extra play for a live ball penalty instead of a 10-second run off.

Technically Kevin, Ricky Pearsall fought for his watch, not his life.

There are clips online confirming this. There are also clips of him getting booed in player introductions today.

Between watching this KC/SF game and hearing Brady’s interview with Mahomes earlier, I’ve learned that praising guys for doing things the “right way” is currently one of Brady’s linguistic crutches.

My BFF in the hood group of friends is from Cleveland and is a HUGE Browns fan. He has been done with Watson from the very beginning and I suspect he is not alone. A lot of folks still wanted Baker and were pissed he got moved.

Even if you were fine with the trade, because of this friend and him inviting us all over to watch the games on 2-3 TVs in his backyard going back pre-COVID... I've watched more Browns games than I have Lions and Commanders combined. Watson has been beyond fucking bad. They hate him.

I would guess a part of it is the Steelers' general offensive ineptness and the solution of same by Russell Wilson starting. I would also guess that sportsbooks think Wilson is washed and giving them points at home is a way to entice people to wager on Pittsburgh.

Johnnie · Post by **Johnnie** » Sun Oct 20, 2024 6:48 pm

Simmons and Cousin Sal have been musing for several weeks now that the only reason the Browns have been continuously starting Watson was in the hopes he got injured. So today is pretty funny on a couple fronts.

Maybe because Aaron Rodgers isn't who many people thought he was, but they just haven't realized it yet?

I posted this earlier this week, my Jayden Daniels jersey arrived today (first piece of gear in around 25 years I've purchased), and then he gets hurt.

I swear this franchise is cursed. Was hoping that getting rid of a racist name/logo and the worst owner in professional sports would lift the curse. Sigh.

Looked like he was okay. Hope the x-rays come back clean.

Can’t blame it on Rodgers. But I would have loved to see Darnold with these weapons.

Because the penalty wasn't the reason that the clock stopped. Substitution penalties have their own clause that leads to a ten-second run off, probably due to past shenanigans.

So if it were a false start and the play is blown dead, that penalty is the reason that the clock stopped and thus there is a run-off. If it's a holding penalty and a receiver gets out of bounds, no run off.

Post by **Shirley** » Mon Oct 21, 2024 7:35 am

I certainly liked the Steelers win, but I'm very aware of how deceiving that final score is. Pittsburgh had at least three big catches that were very difficult and/or very lucky. They also had that very lucky interception. A few slight changes in those plays and that game is quite different. Despite Collinsworth's love for Wilson's moon balls, that isn't always going to be a winning strategy. And he threw a shit ton of balls at receivers' feet or even shorter.

I'd really like to see them go to Fields when they get close to goal line. His running makes them more dangerous there, I think. Plus, it will keep him engaged and ready for when Wilson falters or gets hurt.

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Mon Oct 21, 2024 7:47 am

Yeah I mean, Russell Wilson didn't do anything differently than he was doing in Denver. It just all worked yesterday. Now maybe it can work at a higher rate than it did in Denver and he'll be fine going forward, but there were games like this last year as well. They likely aren't going to continue having a positive result on every single deep ball.
