Awhile ago, the Steelers were off sides on a special teams play....
It was a db that was the culprit....
The cameras kept showing Matekevich, as if he committed the penalty.....
We’ve noted this type of bs many times here......

Speaking of the Brown-Ravens game that I turned off, watching Baker Mayfield is an interesting thing. He has regressed significantly from last year when he played free and loose. One play was a quick toss to the RB on the right side that was designed to be a RB option-to-throw trick play. The Ravens had that side overloaded guaranteeing the play would fail, yet Mayfield still runs the play. Can he not change the play at the line, or did he somehow not see the obvious? Is he allowed by Kitchens to audible out of stupid plays? Last year's offense was much more wide-open with Baker running a significant amount, while this year there is none of that at all. I guess that Kitchens, seeing that Mayfield is white, determined that only a Joe Flacco-inspired offense will do since white boy Mayfield has gotta be immobile like the head coach is.

Not saying that Baker Mayfield could run the Raven's offense, but the Browns offense is amazingly dull and unimaginative.

All the offseason hype about Fredie Kitchens was ridiculous. Honestly though QBs are expected to take some lumps early in their career. Kitchens is a bad head coach. I think Mayfield will be fine - it's Kitchens and that gum chomping cuck GM Dorsey that should field most of the blame. Dorsey has shipped out accountability and created a poor environment - Landry, Beckham and Garrett all have been terrible for the Browns this year. Dorsey does not want to re-sign Schobert either so we know where his head is at in terms of team composition. The Browns need help at both tackle positions and a TE. Chubb is actually a very good RB and so far seems like he has a good head on his shoulders and does not buy into the normal afflete antics.

I just came back from the bar and saw a bit of the Jet game. The Jets are trying hard to give the Steelers the game but the Steelers are resisting. That guy Adams (Jet safety is a good player, but not as good as he thinks he is). Darnold is the real McCoy as a QB but is surrounded by a bunch of bums for the most part but the worst things is the OC and the idea of not allowing good White personnel on the field. Levon Bell is a 2-3rd rate RB at best. I also think the HC is a good guy if he's allowed to do the things he wants.

Watching Brees and Tannehill battle in this game is fantastic. The last TD throw by Tannehill that was perfectly placed was something to behold, especially with the pressure. Credit to the WR for making a good catch as well. 3-point game now.

Saints go for it on 4th down with a trick play to Taysom Hill out of punt formation! Unfortunately Hill threw the ball a couple of inches too high which bounced off of the facemask of the afflete WR. Must have been all Taysom's fault! lol! Seriously though, it was a comical drop by the afflete.

I know the Panthers have played awful for the past 6 or 7 games. Despite that they took out CMac with over 2 minutes left in the game. This could hurt his chances
at making the 1000 yards receiving and rushing in a season. Only 3 running backs have ever done it. Then it also hurts his chances to win the rushing title. Makes
you wonder just like playing Grier today and he has been very average. Despite Kyle Allen struggling, Allen should have played today and next week. Cmac needs about
67 yards to break 100o receiving next week. He better get it. I really wanted him to win the rushing title. He has a slight chance but most likely the Panthers gettting killed
every week just didn't give him enough carries to lead the nfl. He will probably finish 2nd to Nick Chubbs. That sucks. See what happens with 1 game left.

Not sure how much Kitchens gets involved with calling plays on the Browns offense, but their play calling on their last possession was terrible. They had the ball first and goal at the one and had an incomplete pass on first down, then ran Chubb up the middle and lost a yard on second down. Then they run the exact same play on third down and lose four more yards. Then they decide to go for it on fourth down and thankfully get bailed out by a defensive penalty and score a TD. But what was really idiotic is they are down 24-15 at this point and if they just kick the extra point, they are down by 8 and its a one possession game. But they decide to go for two, and didn't get it, so now its a two possession game wuth 10 minutes left! How stupid can you be?

Hunter Renfrow back in action today, immediately scores a 56 yard TD at the beginning of the game!

Daniel Jones wins it for his team in OT with his 5th TD pass of the game. Great performances today by Jones, Brees, Tannehill, and the much-maligned Andy Dalton and Ryan Fitzpatrick. Sam Darnold another young White QB leading his team to victory. Plus Brady, Josh Allen, Goff, and Jimmy G. showed up yesterday. #YearoftheWhiteQB #EveryYear

He's still going to have a historical season. Top 10 for yards from scrimmage in a season is almost guaranteed, he is like 20 yards away. Playing the Saints next he's probably going to get over 67 yards receiving so he will be one of only 3 players ever to do 1000 and 1000

It's great to see Hunter Renfrow back adn tearing it up in the first half. He has 5 catches for 96 yards and a touchdown! What a game. Hope he can add to that in the 2nd half. This
kid just has that swagger about him. He was born to be a star!

Jeff Heath leaves the game with another shoulder injury..........
Troy Aikman said that Heath leaving the game is a big loss for the Cowboys, that their defense isn't the same when he is out. At least one color commentator telling the truth and pointing out the obvious.

Dak is doing very poorly, throws are poor as are his decisions. Eagles have played smart defense, loaded box to stop the run and force Prescott to throw. This is how I would also defend Baltimore. Heavy rush, aggressive route disruption with the receivers force Jackson to throw in a hurry to targets that he doesn't know where they are going to be.

Heath back in the game, makes a big play for a loss on a receiver screen.

What an absolutely worthless bum Brett Hundley is. He has zero business being in the NFL in any capacity. It’s not that I’m an Arizona fan, but they were destroying the plantation all game, then their midget starter goes out, and Hundley the bum will lose this game now.

Eagles win! Wentz arguably a better mvp candidate. He’s done more with less than any other qb. Ertz and Goedert are his only reliable targets

Jeff Heath and Sean Lee played outstanding defense in this game, they don't need to hang their heads. This loss is all on Dak and his affletic receiver corps with bad throws and bad drops.
