Go @Ravens (-3) > Eagles
There we go, a real game. O Really?
Beware "disrespected" Iggles (not that 'Iggle' is a disrespectful moniker ), 19-24

Underdogs, pfffft!
Well, if you were sitting at Geno's in South Philly eating your cheesesteak, properly ordered "wit", and perhaps a glass of wooder to warsh it down wit, you would notice that "Iggles" is the correct pronunciation in native Phulladelphan.

Whiz or no whiz?

Usually "prov" (provolone) wit onions and peppers.

Brutal.

Do you think it was 100% a dirty play? Or do you think an argument could be made that it was a legitimate football play?

[Vrede too]

Mitch Trubisky in for 11 minutes of Bills' garbage time!

IMO yes 100%:
Targeting head and neck
Any aggressive contact during a slide
He could have diverted the directionality of the hit

[Vrede too]

3-7 today (including SF), 3-8 for the week so far

[O Really]

100% dirty.

Yup, watched it a couple of times.

He had opportunity to pull up, Lawrence had begun his slide and he made zero effort to avoid.

Weird, the video was embedded in the tweet, now gone.

Here's a good view.

NFL/NBC property. It'll be on their websites, social media accounts and YT channels.

Ah.

Football in the snow is fun.




That counts as a catch?

Do you?

Texans' Azeez Al-Shaair apologizes for hit on Trevor Lawrence

Azeez Al-shaair

All Praise to Allah

Menace?

... Last week, Al-Shaair was flagged and later fined $11,255 for a late hit out of bounds on Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard.

He also was fined $11,817 earlier this year after he punched Bears running back Roschon Johnson on the sideline in Week 2. That occurred during a scuffle that started after his hard shot on quarterback Caleb Williams near the sideline wasn't flagged....

[O Really]

Sit him for the rest of the season.

[GoCubsGo]

Sit him for the rest of the season.

And let him get paid?

Cut him.

[Vrede too]

Sit him for the rest of the season.

Seems reasonable. They may sit Lawrence for the rest of the season. The Jags are 2-10.

And let him get paid?

Cut him.

Maybe a little harsh? Plus, any team can pick him up . Do players on suspension for cause get paid? How high can fines get?

If you sit him you might as well cut him.

Fines are a fraction of game checks, that's what hurts the wallet.

If he's picked up it will be at the league minimum.

4-8 for the week. Go @Broncos > Browns 41-32.
J. Winston 34/58, 497 YDS, 4 TD, 3 INT including 2 pick6s

J. Winston 34/58, 497 YDS, 4 TD, 3 INT including 2 pick6s

That's a microcosm of his career.

[GoCubsGo]

Yup.

[GoCubsGo]

The NFL has weighed in.

Dirty hit.
