I believe PIT has 6.  Feel free to find 6 others to dispute me.

The Bears got 3 alone from last week…

That graph is dumb. It isn’t taking into consideration bad calls or missed calls. Just penalties. The Browns should be last, they are the most undisciplined team in the league. 

The fact that they displayed how many penalties and how many on the opponent bothered me. Bengals in at #4 but the 3 games I’ve watched they were disciplined as hell. Wondered if they were high up there with some if it based on differential.

Ben likely out next week. His symptoms are apparently bad (per Glazer).

Dear NFL ball carriers (especially those that are carrying the ball)….the other team is coming and many will try to knock that ball out. I know it sounds crazy but I promise they are.

No, they didn't get a single formal letter of apology, much less three.

PIT has 6 of those letters.  The rest of the league?  Less.

The Bears should've gotten letters for the jobbing they got against Pittsburgh.

I know you're salty but teams get jobbed all of the time. Browns get the short end of the stick a lot. Gotta be better and overcome it. Browns aren't good enough. Neither are the Steelers.

You're flipping out over a team that's likely going to lose 9-10 games this year.

Ok, not sure what the difference is here between “formal letter” or public acknowledged fuckups, but go on... Show me 6 of these from Pittsburgh though…

LOL...2nd pass Stafford throws to OBJ, he (OBJ) does one of his "improvisations" = INT

That OBJ/Baker thing that was going on was a combination of both. For all of those saying it was ALL on Baker, if OBJ is still so "elite" why did Keenum only target him twice against the Broncos?

Admittedly, when i think of OBJ I think of high level OBJ. He's looking like hes just not that anymore.

I think people, for the most part, think that. A lot of the reason people had the "OMG, we can't get rid of OBJ" comments. They have that image of that one handed catch on MNF. He's gotten a lot of his reputation off that. Not the same player due to injuries. Same thing with Clowney. Had that one highlight hit against Michigan and he was dubbed a "beast."

These things are just not true. When OBJ was traded to the Browns he was basically rivaled only by Jerry Rice to start a career. It was reasonable to assume his "down" year -- which was still Pro Bowl level -- the year before the trade was due to Eli being shot as a QB. 

Clowney is one of the best rushing defending ends in football. He just has to stay on the field. Hes also coming off 2 of his best pass rushing seasons of his career.

Steelers had Minka Fitzpatrick test positive, I guess it's unlikely he'll be available.

And Chargers Joey Bosa tested positive.

So with the season barely half over, it looks like the Covid outbreaks are beginning in the NFL.  Didn't ever see the study, but a while back I thought there was a report from Israel that 6 months out the vaccines were only 40-50% effective against Delta.

Surprised they wouldn’t require the booster right at 6 months

Wow...I just saw a stat that in last Sunday's game, Seahawks safety Jamal Adams just tied retired Patriots/Texans NT Vince Wilfork for career interceptions with 3

In news that shouldn’t surprise anyone, Antonio Brown being accused of having a fake Covid vaccine card.

Does this make him smarter or dumber than Aaron Rodgers?

Gonna pass on watching it. Apparently he’s still at large possibly in Tennessee? Hope he goes to jail for a long time.

I only heard about the incident but hadn't read anything.  Way more brutal than I expected, like WWE-style beatdown.  Surprised she wasn't very seriously hurt.
