Anyone that wants immediate retribution needs to think. Yeah, it MIGHT hurt team chemistry... but it could also DAMAGE team chemistry especially if Udoh talks about it with his teammates. Damage in terms of players thinking they are on watch.

I saw resisting arrest... such a nebulous call. Turn a shoulder? Resisting! Show the video.

Often, cuts for this kind of stuff are made based on the players value to the team....

Initial report is he followed a woman into the bathroom and then refused to leave... not a good look.

These guys have so much to loose... gotta make smart decisions.

Guys go in all the time, the key is how much persuasion was invoked. But I agree overall w/ not a good look and not a series of smart decisions.

Cut or not cut.... YOU MAKE THE CALL!

You be KOC and/or Kwesi. I say the regime decides, after a bunch of BS statements, he will stay.

WTF is wrong with players?

Did he think he was special?

Drunk?

How hard is it to act with just a bit of common sense and manners…

FFS..

Is Udoh that important?

He may be identifying as an unemployed NFL lineman depending on the new regimes tolerance for fools.

The Packers are +10.5, the largest spread, v. Buf. on FanDual right now.
When's the last time they were +10.5¿

Agree on all, Bill. I don't think much of Kene as a 1 or even a 2 but I'd try to get him a few touches a game.

I think his best play so far this year has been on kick off coverage. Hopefully he snaps off an opportune return or 2 soon.

I'm not sure this offense or defense are any better than last year overall stat wise.

Biggest difference is Kirk has engineered some 4th qtr comebacks and Donatell has cleaned up the last 2min of each half failures from last year.

Penalties have been greatly reduced and ST's improved.

Kirk engineered numerous 4th quarter comebacks last year only to have the FG missed or the defense give it back.

Then it doesn't count as a come back last time I checked.

Maybe not, but are you saying that diminishes what the QB provided leading a comeback earlier?

An earlier comeback? How early?

There might be some stat out there like 'Almost A Comeback' or 'Drives With A Fair Amount of Time on the Clock' or 'Pretend Comebacks'.

In the games being used as examples, it's the other QB would led the comeback.

In the category of could have been comebacks.

Do you propose that they take away the comeback from the other QB and credit it to Kirk?

Kirk stats and play at times this year suggest it's his worst statistical season but I actually think this is the best he's ever played.

I still don't think he'll ever win a Super Bowl but he seems to but more relaxed; taking more charge and playing better in the clutch.

I think you read my post backwards? There can only be one comeback at the most in a game.

Montana leading the 49ers 92 yards to a win in the SB, the epitome of a comeback. If the Bengals had come back to win, sorry Joe.

There's nothing wrong with that and she should be allowed to participate in women's MMA.

I was agreeing with you; disagreeing with those that believe they should count as comebacks for kirk.

In the span of six minutes Sunday, the New York Jets lost rookie running back Breece Hall and right tackle Alijah Vera-Tucker -- two of their top players -- to season-ending injuries.

An MRI confirmed an ACL tear and a meniscus injury for Hall, who was one of the leading candidates for NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. Vera-Tucker, who distinguished himself by excelling at three different positions on the offensive line this season, will have surgery to repair a triceps injury.

seems like we have been getting a lot of roll this year, some things breaking our way, other teams getting in their own way …

And we have made just enough good plays and cut out just enough bad plays to get er done against other commensurate teams.

Our games feel like testing at the very high end of normal cholesterol. Its not bad but … no more pizza or sonoran hot dogs.

Maybe. It might help to proprly address tricep injuries as ‘lunch lady arm’ or ‘grandma wing’ or ‘pillowcase full of cakemix’ injuries. This generation needs to suck it up.

Not being a sports trainer, I've been wondering how our new staff has modified their approach. We haven't had the typical rash of pulled hammys and groins and the pectoral tears that we've seen in years past. Maybe that's luck but I'm betting we have more flexibility and endurance training mixed in. I hope our team continues to stay healthy.
