That Aud Smell Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 I mean ... he probably won't score 9 TD's next year ... but he did this past season and co-led the league in TE TD's. And then there was that superhuman catch for a TD against NE in the wild card game. The guy was incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's inconsistent, I'll answer @JujuFish too Anyway, I'm done with it. He's had the biggest drops on the team since he's been here. Repeatedly.

I definitely think the Bills would have rolled the chiefs, but it certainly is an unknowable question. Bills would have been as emotionally spent as the chiefs were. I really believe the bengals have the horseshoe this year. They drew the chiefs and raiders right after insanely emotional games, those teams had blown their wads and hit the wall. Then in between they faced the weakest 1 seed (at the time, not necessarily at their peak months before) I've ever seen. And on top of that, four interceptions from tipped balls in 2 games. They deserve all the credit in the world for getting to this point but we all know that you need bounces to win, and they sure are getting the bounces 8 minutes ago, Thwomp! said: Either really good or really, really bad.

Knox has been a roller coaster historically but I dont think his variance in 2021 stands out compared to any other player. Tom Brady had wider swings than Knox did this year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the record, I would have wholeheartedly agreed with you before this year. He took a big step forward this season, and was considerably more consistent. Last year, he'd made incredibly difficult catches and drop the easy ones. I'd say your comment of "really, really bad" tells me you have an emotional investment in this, for some reason, because I don't think that's the case at all this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sodbuster Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) Brian Flores lawsuit against the Giants and the NFL is juicy. He's blowing the whistle on the Dolphins for tampering with Brady before he was cut. He's accusing Ross of offering to pay him on the side for intentionally throwing games in 2019. He has texts that were accidentally sent to him instead of Brian Daboll from Belichick congratulating him on the Giants job before he had been interviewed. The man will probably never get a job in the league again. There is one Bills related note, that Daboll may have taken the OC job in NY with Flores as HC because he wanted to get away from McDermott. So those rumors of tension between the coaches that have been circulating the last few days may have some merit. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/33194862/brian-flores-sues-nfl-others-former-miami-dolphins-coach-alleges-racism-hiring-practices Edited February 1, 2022 by sodbuster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's not filed by a bunch of idiots, either; that is a real firm with a track record. I don't think it's going to be thrown out on the first motion. The Dolphins might be dismissed out, the NFL, too. But I think the Giants are in for some litigation.

Neither has a place in a complaint, at least one is inflammatory, and there are several federal judges I know (and you probably know some) that would reprimand (orally not officially) and demand a refiling. But it is, as you say, a very savvy pleading. On top of it, the timing indicates to me that there wasn't a whole lot of negotiation before drafting/filing. Like none.

If he can show that he was fired because he refused to break the NFLs rules, he might have a case. Not to mention, that could be a serious problem for Ross' ownership of the franchise.

Not a race discrimination case, though. Maybe a state court breach of contract case. (And maybe not. I don't know what his contract said.)

That’s what I was getting at with “savvy.” It reads like a polemic or novella. But it seems like they’re partly focused on a federal lawsuit, partly focused on other forums. Agreed on the timing. I can’t even imagine that there was a courtesy phone call with a demand for all requested relief — maybe just a heads up that it was coming (and will you accept service).
