The scary part is that isn't really embellished. You should take some time and listen to the interview. Blames his team for the fact he gets so upset he draws shitloads of penalties for stupid poo poo and the fact he fucks up his route running.

To be clear, he is ridiculous. With that said, you are a coach getting paid like a hajillion dollars. Handle your super talented prima donna player for fucks sake or a better coach/team (hello Cardinals, Patriots) will figure it out and you'll feel Real Bad.

Quick reads is up, http://www.footballoutsiders.com/quick-reads/2016/week-4-quick-reads which is mostly interesting for putting Julio Jones' game into perspective.

They currently have it as the 25th best receiving performance since 1989.

TO once caught 20 of 22 passes thrown to him for 283 yards in a game.

Isaac Bruce 5 catches on 6 targets for 134 yards and 4 TD

That's some efficiency right there

The browns have gotten jobbed with terrible game changing calls several times this year already.

Not that they would have won, but that call was so blatantly wrong that I still can't believe it. He was holding the ball out of the pike before the fumble was ever awarded to Washington.

No, but they've done it with guys like Mathieu, Nkemdiche, Chandler Jones, etc. Pretty good track record for handling guys with checkered backgrounds

Yeah, I don't think Arizona has been huge on taking problem guys, they've just been very good in free agency and talent acquisition in general and built a good team out of that that hopefully isn't imploding because that's what Carson Palmer does.

It's insane. When I saw some of the gifs they were detached from the play so it was hard to tell how the pile actually played out. When you watch the play from the start until that picture, he basically never loses contact with the ball. He fumbles, falls on it, stands up immediately and shows the ball. There's basically no time spent where they could be wrestling for possession.

I know it's basically an argument from authority, but every #1 pick is talented. Good/successful is a different story.

I'm finally attending my first NFL game for Broncos vs. Falcons. Work is terrible because I am far too excited about seeing the Broncos defense fight the Atlanta offense. Let the magic of Miller, Talib, Harris, Williams, Wolfe, and everyone else on this defense never end.

I feel like the mistake on the initial call is acceptable. The ball was fumbled and the refs are clearly paying attention to the scrum instead of Johnson, so I can accept a missed call on the field.

What is completely, unbelievably inexcuseable is that none of the refs overturned it on replay, since turnovers get reviewed. Or should be. And then the NFL doubled down on defending their error when normally they throw refs under the bus.

It should have been clear to the refs on the field when no one in the scrum came out with the loving ball, and they should have seen Johnson holding the ball during replay review. This might be the worst fuckup since the Fail Mary

It's not acceptable on the initial call either, how the gently caress do you determine possession if you can't find the ball

So that narrative in the NFL is now that Brady is back the cheaters are going to be all angry and just destroy the rest of the league for the remaining 12 games left in the season. I would bet that this doesn't happen despite them probably beating the browns this week. Though they will probably win the division simply due to the 3 other teams being messes.

Yeah, the pic I posted has the ref literally signalling Washington ball which means she's either guessing or thinks a player's arm looks like a football.

A fair amount of speculation is that the NFL is rather reluctant to criticize her because she's the first female ref, which if so will likely ruin her credibility.

Also the Patriots offense looked pretty good with Jimmy G around and was dominant last year with a worse offensive line and worse weapons before injuries. If most of the pieces stay healthy this year, the Pats offense should be very, very good.

I remember #4 with Chad Johnson. That was the game where they let SD come all the way back and beat them 49-41 by scoring 21 points in both the 3rd and 4th quarters. I was loving FURIOUS. That's probably the angriest I've ever been at the team other than the end of this last season.

They could at the very least eviscerate the replay official for upholding it. Dumb calls happen on the field but the guy running the replay booth is there to fix them, not double down on lunacy.

So uh, the Cards aren't looking too great. They have a pretty tough schedule coming up, and down Carson Palmer for a bit (who wasn't having a good season anyways) they're pretty hosed. They kind of needed to get victories against weaker teams in the beginning. If they start 1-4, man... that's hard to come back from.
