McKissic is an UFA at the end of the season. We need to give him a lil’ change. McLaurin is obviously the better player but McKissic has arguably been the most valuable player on offense . https://t.co/a1n9niPSOH

Mike McCarthy has already said that the bizarre punt block/muff happened to him once before, against Baltimore in 2013.
John Fassel said just now he’s pulled up tape of 200 punt blocks over the last decade or so, & yesterday’s was the third one he’s seen.

Kirk Cousins is not a franchise QB. WFT is not a QB away. And when Kirk went to a team that was a “QB away” they got further away by the season.

I’m almost done with charting the Cowboys game and this might be the worst game Dak has played in…I don’t know…years?
It’s very uncharacteristic of him since the start of 2020. Doesn’t even look like the same guy. Denver didn’t even do anything fancy, either.

Bills lost.

Raiders lost.You know who didn’t lose?

In the wake of the Aaron Rodgers situation, a number of teams called the NFL for clarification on the press conference policy—admitting they’d allowed non-vaxxed players to indoor podiums w/o masks. NFL told them that’s against the rules.
So expect more masked/on Zoom guys now.

Veteran free-agent safety Tre Boston is now healthy, in shape, vaccinated and willing to sign on with a practice squad, per his agent @DrewJRosenhaus. “Tre’s been a really good player for a long time and I’m shocked he hasn’t been signed yet,” Rosenhaus said.

I’m not saying Vegas is to blame for Raiders players getting in trouble, but it sure feels like that organization is going to have to operate like Miami has to—with the knowledge that certain guys just can’t handle being in that city.
Has to be part of their equation now.

Had a few questions on #raiders release of Damon Arnette. My guess is they will use that video as reason to void the guarantees that remain.

You guys are all getting your jokes in but has anyone stopped to ask the Steelers bench if they are ok after that taunt.
— Kevin Clark (@bykevinclark) November 9, 2021
#Bears LB Cassius Marsh, who was called for taunting late in the 4th quarter, says he didn’t say anything towards the #Steelers bench to warrant a penalty.
Also says the ref hip-checked him and if it was the other way around he would’ve been ejected. pic.twitter.com/TpSIJjH625
— Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) November 9, 2021
The fact that Corrente can sit there and say “he moved towards the bench in a posture that I FELT was taunting” is the exact reason this rule sucks. It’s all subjective bullshit. https://t.co/uxErsoFBXH
— Brett Kollmann (@BrettKollmann) November 9, 2021
Celebrating in the direction of the opposing bench is considered a taunt.
I don’t think it should be.
And just dont freaking call it either.
