IMO Brown burned all his Pittsburgh bridges.

 

And if you've ever been to Pittsburgh, that's a lot of bridges

House to myself, so I get to just toss on random football shit, and the NFL Network is showing Lions (0-10-1) vs. VIkings (5-6), and it's impossible to to watch this and not be grateful for what has transpired for the Bills in recent years.

 

To steal an old trope, if Kirk Cousins is the answer, I don't want to know what the question is.

They showed the Bills-Chiefs playoff game last night

I just couldn't watch it. I watched a movie where I didn't know the ending instead.

I switched over to the BIlls beatdown on the Cheaters, which is basically porn for a Christian, and I want to be clear that the Micah Hyde pick on their first drive, is the earliest dagger I've ever seen delivered.

 

Jones was having a good drive with a big 3'rd and 14 pick up and then a scramble for another big first down, and they were dealing. There was a brutal drop of a great pass by Boldin, a delay of game, and then another good throw to Myers that had another Cheater receiver think it was for him, and got enough of a finger to screw up the throw. 

 

By the time Hyde stole his TD throw, I'm convinced Jones was like "Oh. Screw this. It's 2 degrees out here. I'm out.:

 

Oh, and our quarterback was simply a man possessed. f It's almost like that loss to the Pats* when Mac threw it 3 times was burned in his heart.

 

For the first tine in a very, very long time, we have a quarterback who plays like he's a fan of the team.

Watson requested that the NFL send female officials to meet with him. He also hinted that he’s very much in need of a massage.

That’s unfair and makes him look bad.  He clearly stated that he hoped the meeting would have a happy ending.

League officials are just hoping that the "Happy Ending" you are referring to is not the proverbial egg on the face.

This happened earlier today and a lot of people are yelling "Don't keep posting this video," as if we're watching someone get their throat slit.

 

It's painful to watch only because the dude has reportedly been working up to this moment after similar earlier injuries,

 

But that's not why I post it.

 

It immediately made me think of Takeo Spikes. I remember his injury, primarily because as soon as it happened, he slammed his helmet on the ground. That was the first time I ever noticed a player get hurt, and immediately know what happened and what it mean for the remainder of the season. He just knew.

 

Same thing happens with this kid, and it is painful to watch for that reason. As soon as he goes down, he knows.

Once you have one injury, you are more susceptible to future problems.  One of the issues with a lot of these guys is they push too hard and don't rest enough.  It's one of the reasons the BILLS stopped doing weighted squats during the season - because its' just too hard on your body with such limited recovery time.

 

Repetitive use injuries are a thing, especially guys who lift heavy weights instead of using variable resistance (where you are less likely to be injured).

At the risk of sounding like Joe, this is my concern with Tre.

Same.  Though frankly I think the BILLS have as good a training staff as there is in professional sports.  They certainly have the facilities.

Given enough time I think he'll wash his hands of the situation.

Interesting, but if you're going to post a video about and ambidextrous QB....learn how to pronounce the word first.
