Don’t know how he’ll do, but Kyle Sloter looked great in the preseason for the Broncos, a couple years ago.

Call me Ford Frick, but if Cooper Kupp doesn’t break Megatron’s receiving yards record this week it doesn’t count.

So, how much of Kupp's success is system/scheme based, as opposed to talent and where do people feel he is from a talent ranking perspective relative to current starting WRs in the NFL?

I suppose what I am asking is, how many other guys currently playing could do what he has done this season if you just swapped those players?

Also, would people think about his achievements differently if he was not white?

Ricky Seals-Jones and Fox cameraman Jim Simmons just both got KTFOd in the PHI-WAS game.

ETA the camera guy’s name.

Too bad he’s a Bengal and abandoned me when I needed him in the Bensell league

Kupp obviously has talent. I don’t watch enough of the Rams to know what exactly his skills he excels at the most, such a short-area quickness or making contested catches. Coming into this year I though Kupp was a guy, like in the 11-18 or so range for receivers. Clearly a bona fide pro starter. But not to the level of a “just throw it in his general direction and good stuff will happen” receiver.

I agree race plays a factor in his perception. And he’s certainly helped by a great scheme. But I think it’s also fair to say while this season was completely unexpected, and I wouldn’t have expected this guy to pull it off, he’s certainly got both the talent and opportunity to do this, and it is a passing league now. Look at this company he has this year.

Was looking for the video redzone just showed but this pretty much nails it.

Holy shit. Antonio Brown just did the thing Luke Wilson’s character in The Royal Tennenbaums did at Wilmbedon.

Here’s a better video.

I’m guessing the guy in the Alstott jersey didn’t like it

What the hell are the Bengals doing? Kick the field goal. Nevermind. Looks like it worked, but strange decision.

Somehow it's perfect. They want to lead by 7 or go to OT. They don't want to be up by 3 and have Maholmes start from the 25.

They held Mahomes to 3 points in the second half. Seems like an unnecessary risk.

Did Burrow actually get hurt in that series of plays or did he get banged up earlier and try to play through it?

It’s too bad they came back because I was looking forward to the Post going with BUC NAKED on the back page.

Hell, they may still do it.

Matt Ryan fever! Catch it.

You'll note that he didn't make it to the end zone before taking the knee. So instead of a TD to pull Atlanta within 7, it became 3rd and goal at the 19

Tennis Announcer: That's 72 unforced errors for Antonio Brown. He's playing the worst tennis of his life. What's he feeling right now, Tex Haywood?

Tex Haywood: I don't know, Jim. There's obviously something wrong with him. He's taken off his shoes and one of his socks and... actually, I think he's crying.

Some twitter people are claiming it all went downhill for him after a concussion in the Bengal's playoff game.

Any doubt which way Goodell would bet if his job and entire fortune were on the line?

We had 6 teams of pretty much equal quality, including yours truly, battling for the 4 playoff spots that week. Thanks to Jamarr “Shithead” Chase, I bombed out. If I were in the final, I’d be rolling to a title right now. I imagine I’m not the only one with that story.

pruitt2 · Post by **pruitt2** » Sun Jan 02, 2022 7:35 pm

I had Chase, Bears' Defence, Rhamondre Stevenson and superstar Amon Ra St. Brown. Up by 109 with Chubb left to go.

I may not be rich, but I'm richer than the rest of the league!
