Devin Hester was cool and on my favorite team so he should be a Hall of Famer, simple as.

Peanut Tillman should be in the Hall of Fame for the above reasons, and also he's single-handedly responsible for dozens of offensive players getting punched every week with no repercussions because it's happening as part of a poorly executed attempt to force a turnover

If you can put a game plan in the hall for its influence or impact in a Super Bowl you should put Hester in for housing one on the opening return. Also put the Saints onside kick in. Yes I know the bears lost anyways but it's the bears let them have this one.

Put Thomas Morestead in the Hall of Fame.

He would definitely take a direct snap while in motion then pass the ball downfield for a first down or TD at least once and it would rule.

That 2020 season where there were tons of trick plays I remember thinking Cribbs would be really fun to watch in that offense.

Then again I don't know if Kevin could help himself if he had a weapon like that and would get cute far too often.

Obviously some positions are less valuable than others, but in any sport, if you are the best at your position then you deserve in the hall. I think Hester qualifies as such.

it might be oversimplifying things but I 100% agree with this. if you have a very good case of being literally the best ever at your particular position, you deserve to be there, first ballot even. I don't care if that lands some punter in the Hall next to Jerry Rice or Lawrence Taylor, it's deserved

It's not. I'd be offended if I was Jerry Rice or LT. Hell, Deion Sanders is on tape being offended and people itt are telling him to worry about coaching instead. HoF is for the best. Not the best at your position. Not for a position that's fungible and not played by the best players.

Tillman, over 13 seasons, nearly doubled the total of forced fumbles as the second highest player in that same timeframe (44 vs. 23).

Ravens Injury Report: Kyle Hamilton, Zay Flowers, Patrick Queen, Roquan Smith, Kevin Zeitler, Broderick Washington, Arthur Maulet, Jordan Stout, Jalyn Armour-Davis
Dolphins Injury Report: Tua Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, Xavier Howard, Jevon Holland, Andrew Van Ginkle,Robert Hunt, Austin Jackson

Bolded all the starters. I bet both teams really want that bye!

The Ravens still have a chance if they lose. Because if Miami loses to Buffalo and the Ravens beat Pittsburgh at home then the Ravens are back in #1. Winning this week though will effectively let the Ravens rest whoever needs to rest for two weeks which could be huge. I know people are going to say stuff like "but remember the tennessee game" but that was a bunch of other things going on not anything to do with the resting against Pittsburgh.

I think it will be a close game. The Ravens I think will win and we have unfinished business vs Miami. But I don't underestimate them and they're in the same position we were last week really wanting the win just to show they are in that category.

If the Ravens lose to the Dolphins, the Bills are probably locked into the #6 seed. No reason to play starters week 18, compared to the Dolphins who will be playing for a bye. Hard to imagine Buffalo would pull that one out.

Can’t believe Russ rushed into a play to the detriment of his team in a high stakes situation.

even funnier when you recall that Russ has a huge problem getting the ball snapped on time to the point where it was a major offseason story "can this idiot stop eating delay of game calls??"



and pressuring him to change his contract makes sense, I'd be a lot more mad at the broncos if it wasn't a dude on his 3rd contract who's already made obscene money across the board. it does however raise the question of if the contract was that bad you needed to threaten a dude why do you still employ the guy who gave him that contract?
