I would be shocked if he were the only NFL player with a fake vaxx card.

I would wager you're right. Having just image searched fake cards, they're very, very unsophisticated, so I absolutely wanna see the crayon paper mâché mock-up he made. Legit surprised it took this long. If the NFL instituted a new policy that says you can't have profanity-laced facial tattoos the guy would have one tomorrow.

I can't believe Andrews dropped that pass. Pittsburgh had no business winning that game with Devin Bush and that pathetic defense.
Ah well, it's just delaying the rebuild efforts for another year and giving the Tomlin apologists another talking point.

After watching the condensed BAL/PIT game last night, I am going to amend my comments.
The defense played better in stretches, particularly the front 3-4. Devin Bush is pathetic.
Every BAL offensive snap, I watched Bush on the field. This was easy since he had on gold/yellow shoes. After watching that, Bush reminds me of a couple guys I played with growing up. They seldom made a play, often running away from the action instead, frequently out of position, would bite on every fake/look off/etc, had no real clue what they were supposed to be doing on the field, but always ran toward the ball and would be standing around the pile after the tackle so it looked like they were part of the action. One of those guys I remember was the coaches son. He had no business on the field, but his relationship with the coach earned him playing time.
Some will blame it on his knee injury in October 2020. Granted, an ACL tear is a major deal, but it doesn't impair your football IQ and instincts on the field. I don't get it though. He came from the University of Michigan, which usually produces some legit NFL talent. He was good in college. I am not sure why his football sense/IQ went out the window when he signed an NFL contract. Maybe he is one of these guys I referred to in the past who isn't really into playing football as much as he is into his brand/message/causes/etc. He worked his butt off and played hard to get where he is today, but maybe he thinks he has achieved the pinnacle of success just being on an NFL roster and the rest from here is, as we say, gravy?

I've seen a bunch of replays of that. I hear you, but also can't believe that Lamar couldn't place it any better than that. On the other hand, the TD pass that Chase bobbled and turned into an INT in the Cincy game turned the game, and is far less excusable; that pass was picture perfect. That's football...truly a game of inches!

I was really afraid it was gonna be one of those games when the D shows up, but they can't put any points on the board.

Bush is a total bust. It's hard to figure out what goes on with players who were great in college, get drafted in first or second round the then crap out in the NFL.

On the other hand, TJ is back they definitely don't win that game without him.

Minshew Mania hits Philly!

Well, maybe only for one game. But it was a pleasure to know he led the Eagles to a convincing win while starting in place of an injured Jalen Hurts in a 33-18 victory over the New York Jets on Sunday.

Minshew finished 20-for-25 for 242 yards, two touchdowns, no INTs and a 133.7 passer rating – highest by an Eagles QB since his former Jaguars teammate Nick Foles had a 141.4 against the Vikings in 2018 and highest by an Eagles QB on the road since Foles' 149.3 in Green Bay in 2013.

Philly may not have a QB controversy this week, but Hurts better get his butt back on the field unless he wants to see one happen.

As always, Go Cougs...and Go Minshew!

He's fun to watch, and humble. His post game comments were nice to hear/read.
Maybe he can move across the state and take over for the Steelers next year.
