NFL flicked a Booger at the Raiders.

Kyler needs to run with no fear like Josh Allen

 

[TRW]

Allen holds the ball out like Murray does.

 

[TRW]

Allen is huge and FAST. Tough to bring down.

What was funny about that play is that Zay Jones wasn’t even in the endzone & Carr still threw it to him

With how sloppy their TE ran a route, I would guess that was the play call.

Josh Allen is a big dude.

 

[GatorAZ]

Allen isn’t fair.

 

[TRW]

Bills are gonna steamroll the Pats.

I don't see Murray will ever do that, an extra 6"(and I am being generous) and 30 lbs determine the difference.

 

[Totally_Red]

Charles Davis is underrated as an analyst. Why did Fox let him get away?

 

[PJ1]

Kyler needs to run with no fear like Josh Allen

Yes if he wants to die.

I was curious so I looked it up....Karras on the Pats has an Uncle named Alex Karras who played many years in the NFL. Alex also played Mongo in Blazing Saddles.

I'd love to see our DBs make a half that effort when the balls in the air... What a pick!

 

[Hoodhero]

Mac actually ballin but receiving corps failing him

 

[reebokalone2001]

Mac Jobes seems pretty calm out there with pressure on his face as well.

Alex Karras was a bad man. Great player. Also played the dad on Webster with Gil rl wife as the mom.

I liked him his short time on MNF too.

Alex Karras was a helluva player for the Lions. Also worked MNF during some of its glory years.

It was a great play by Micah Hyde. I don't think the effort is what our secondary players lack, but the instinct they do not have.

I think he was suspended a year for gambling ( maybe with Paul Hornug?).

I would agree.

 

[reebokalone2001]

Our safeties are great tacklers and excel in run support but do not have the nose for the ball. Baker, J Thompson, D Thompson, Banjo, Washington, none of them does. Have not seen enough Wiggins to tell at this moment.

Balloon Juice - Open Thread: Mongo Only Pawn in Game of Life

. Since the 40th anniversary (!!!) Blu-Ray version of Blazing Saddles has just been released, Esquire has an interview with Mel Brooks: ESQUIRE.COM: Looking back, what are the memories that stick out most from making the movie? MEL BROOKS: I always thought Richard Pryor was going to be the black...

Highmark Stadium doesn’t have an heated field. That’s bad in an open stadium and cold weather.

 

[Metcalf Rules]

Alex Karras also played himself in “Paper Lion” which also starred Alan Alda as George Plimpton. It was based on a true story in which sportswriter Plimpton posed as a qb in camp with Detroit. The movie also features some real game footage including Cardinal Jim Hart getting injured in a game against the Lions. I saw it when I was a kid and a young Card fan. I gotta check and see if it’s streaming anywhere..Also, Alex Karras wrote a memoir called “even Big Guys Cry” about his life in football.
