Now if it were Saints or Falcons gear, I might be a little heated.

Yup, the RG is getting beat and PJ is rightfully getting out of Dodge to the right. The problem is he turned and there is a battle right in front of him so he hits the gap between backside guard and tackle before making the pass. You do know when a guard gets turned perpendicular to the sidelines, he's beat, right?

Again, Luke's a nice guy and if they gifted him Bills swag, he's not going to decline it. Did he not talk to Ron's club last year? Dude has tons of connections/friends and he's not going to let his playing days "colors" interfere with great relationships. Don't be shocked to see him visit Washington in the future and sport something of their gear.

Peanut Tillman, right here, and he retired as a Bear.

Okay, that was funny. (probably true)

Just how big are you trying to make this mole hill? He's a retired player visiting another team. If they provide him garb to wear during his stay, he's obliged to wear it.

I'm sure showing up in Panthers swag at Bills camp would have gone over well. Dude is visiting and trying fit in. I have no problems with it.

Ding-ding-ding!!!!! Winner-winner, chicken dinner! Slye has the physical tools, but not the MENTAL game. People are still giving Darnold sh!t for the "ghosts" game. Sam literally was psyched out by the Patriots defense; they had gotten into his head. The opponent is not Slye's enemy however, it's himself. Dude can't shake off the funk after a bad kick, he's done. Our best hope for him is he doesn't have a bad kick early in a game, if so, we might as well just go for it on 4th down...we will have a better chance of converting.

Not sure, but if he's injured enough to be placed on IR, they will injury waive him and use his spot for a healthy player. He hasn't shown enough to be stashed on IR. He can be re-signed down the road once healthy if the team chooses to do so. If he's missing several weeks with this injury, that spot needs to be address now rather than him to mending while on the current roster or even the PS in a couple of weeks.

I get the 60+ yard misses, that's not my issue. I'm talking about his utter lack of ball control once he gets rattled. Am I the only that notices this?????

IIRCC, both Zylstra pass attempts from PJ, he was fleeing the pocket. FYI, even the commentators said there was some outside pressure in that clip, PJ did a good job to avoid it.

True, and if Darnold goes down, rinse and repeat...just insert the name Walker instead of Darnold.

Yup, you just restated the same thing I said yesterday after the game regarding our QB situation.

The entire season, only because the staff refuses to address the elephant in the room. PJ on his best day is no better than Darnold and then there's that clipboard guy.

He was basically a rookie last year. The XFL, while not college, was still a bunch of nobodies. Since it was dubbed a "professional league", the outside expectations were a little higher for him than rest of the day 3 picks. Kenny was kinda written off when he did little better than the guys drafted around him. In reality he looked like a day 3 draft pick who needed a ton of work despite playing "professional football" in the XFL.

Cool, but if you hadn't read my previous posts, you might want to check them out. I took nothing away from the kid's effort. However, apparently saying it was a great run, although lucky is not sufficiently homer-ish enough for the Huddle.

Cool, so now after one play Chuba is Steve Smith who routinely broke legit tackles on a regular basis.

Yes, a complete break down of the play and 6 missed tackles is luck. I never said he didn't play hard or quit on the play.

Heck, we could have even took Ehlinger with either of our first two sixth round picks. He looked pretty good yesterday against us.

I count 6 missed tackles. Three in the pile and 3 as he bounced it outside. Great determination, and a ton of luck.

I'm not taking anything away form Chuba, but how often can you count on a RB making it out of a huge scrum like that? I would have the same reaction no matter who the RB was on that play. It was a cluster fug that he somehow managed to avoid. Again, the Zylstra block is what really sprung him. Otherwise it would have been a short gain and we wouldn't be even talking about it.

I bet he looks awesome in practice with that no contact red jersey on!

Pause it at 14 seconds and you will see what I mean.

That play was doomed from the jump. While it was a really good run in the end, a ton of luck was involved. FIFTEEN players were falling around all around him, the 16th (Colt player gave up thinking the play was over) and he somehow managed to get through. The Zylstra block was the other key to the play. Again great play, but extremely lucky.

To me it was crystal clear what the staff was attempting to do with Grier. That was run the ball on early downs to get in 3rd and manageable to keep him out of 3rd and long situations. It worked to some extent, but even the short passes on 3rd down weren't connecting. Granted the OL penalties didn't help, but Grier couldn't even get the underneath stuff completed. My dread is next week he'll play just well enough to keep lingering around, to warrant one more look from the coaching staff. Come final cuts, Grier does not need to be on this roster.
