To me Gronk made more “wow” plays during his prime, but Kelce is more consistent year in and year out.

Callie Brownson in Cleveland wasn't really the most feminine looking female I have seen...

I read up on Brownson and as far as I can tell she never played football. Why should women who never played football gets jobs coaching foorball? They shouldn't. Plus I don't see how any players can respect her because she never played.

I believe she played in some women’s league for like 8 years. I still don’t think that translates well to being a coach of the best players in the world. But what do I know? If she wasn’t fit to be a NFL coach I don’t think she would be one, it’s too competitive to do things for publicity.

Well actually I just read that her actual position is “chief of staff” so maybe it is a publicity thing.

Troy Reeder with 5 solo tackles and 1 assist early in the second half, hopefully he becomes a fixture as a starter after once again starting due to injury

Today has been a buzz kill for some of our guys. CMac still out, Thielen missing becasue of Covid, Kupp ignorred, etc. I was glad to see Buffalo continue their winning ways. I also was glad to see New England win despite Cam. The hype
behind Murray is even worse and he is alot younger. Would If I had to choose between only 1 of these teams making the playoffs I would rather see the Pats make it. Just barely. Best choice is neither and that may still happen. The Covid
Crap has really made both college and the nfl games like a circus. Sports should not be like this. Sorry for my rant but this crap month after month gets old over a cold. Nothing more.

Bills-Chargers highlights were good. Great defense from AJ Klein, Joey Bosa, and the always underrated Nick Vigil. Bills win, stay in control in the AFC East.

The (relatively) White-friendly Vikings' final drive to beat the ultra-coal Carolina (Black) Panthers was epic. A Caste matchup at its best.

It's a lot easier to con people than it is to convince them they have been conned. None of the COVID-19 response makes any sense. The sports response is utterly foolish. How many college or pro athletes have even gotten sick from all of these "positive" tests?

It's often a matter of ego. People don't want to admit they were conned because it means admitting that someone fooled them. Many people have egos too fragile to handle that.

The Broncos got screwed hard and if they had been in playoff contention should have gone on strike. It's one thing when COVID-19 BS policies affect the league in general, it's quite another when they screw one team specifically by forcing them to play a game without any of their quarterbacks. If the Steelers and Ravens can get their game postponed, why not the Broncos? (Or, better yet, just let their QBs, who are not actually sick, play).

Not even a Broncos fan, they aren't exactly White-friendly, but seeing anyone get screwed like this is disgraceful. (Although it might be funny if it happened to the coal-dark Carolina Black Panthers).

The explanation that I saw was that the Broncos only had one position group affected while the Ravens have players all around the team affected. Still stupid, but it makes some sense.

Troy Reeder a mere 13 solo tackles and 2 assists, incredible! Well done WSTD

If I were Scotty Miller I’d be pushing for a trade... he was doing great to start the year and got totally screwed.

It was not all bad! Beebe's game winning TD a few minutes after muffing the punt was a great win for our guys. It sounds like Daniel Jones, Josh Allen and Justin Herbert all survived potential serious injury. Mayfield has really stabilized and the Browns balanced offense has them sitting at 8-3 while the Ravens seem to be headed the other direction.

I wouldn't worry too much about Murray - as more game film is accrued the adjustments will be made. He can't run around like a chicken with it's head cut off for ever. True progression needs to be seen with his ability within the pocket.

I agree with @La France Blanche on the Broncos getting screwed over. Did they even test positive or was it all because of contact tracing? As a competitor I would be livid with the NFL but the league seems to want to enforce the same draconian rules that are being imposed on the rest of society.

Only Driskel actually tested positive. Lock, Rypien, and Bortles were deemed "high contact risks." :rolleyes:
