    Well that would be because Haden is a beast you cut entirely too soon. We were also down Steven Nelson so while Sutton is very solid, Justin Layne is still a little raw. 

    If he is/was a beast for you....then he was a complete slacker for two years for us....because he really truly played poorly, like he was done.   Or, I don't know, he may have been suffering from a 3 year injury which he finally overcame.

    Or its the culture change.  He's been terrific for us.

    Or maybe he's doing roids... It wouldn't surprise me one bit...

    One more final thought: Steelers' pass D really seemed to suffer after Haden left game with a concussion.

    Not sure why unless DC had 2ndary shading towards his replacement as WSH really went to work on its right-side short and left-side middling to deep.

    Well that would be because Haden is a beast you cut entirely too soon. We were also down Steven Nelson so while Sutton is very solid, Justin Layne is still a little raw.

    Your depth of analysis is breathtaking.... almost on par with Gipper's Slacker jab...

    Haden was injured and missed 11 games in 2015, his next to last season with us, and then missed 3 in 2016. I don't recall the 2015 injury.... thinking it was knee, but not sure... but IIRC in 2016 two separate concussions cost him one and then another two starts.. He simply was not the same player we made one of the highest paid CBs in the league after his rookie deal which he paid off with back-to-back Pro Bowls.

    Then he basically took the same offer from you that we'd made to him and missed 5 games in his first year with you. He was pretty ordinary that year. But he has regained a nice chunk of his early form... good for Joe... and he saved himself a lot of heartache by moving on.

    Even got to taste the playoffs the last time you made them... in 2017... your one-and-done at JAX.

    You could not have done it without him...

    When you suck, you suck.  Not sure what a culture change has to do with it.....unless, of course, as I said, he was actually dogging it.

    Except of course, I am the one that pointed out that it may have been 3 years of injury issues with him as an explanation.

    So, maybe the only slacker here is you because you fail to either pay attention or you are just oblivious at times.

  • I've got to give Browns fans credit... no matter how many times the Steelers beat the ever-loving shit out of us, they'll still try and talk shit to their fans. ?

    Well....as badly as the Browns have been mismatched against the Steelers over the last number of years,  their fans have equally been mismatched against us.

    Somewhat....at least I believe it about the ones that show their faces here occasionally. 

    My view is that it is NOT  when your team is going very well over a long period of time that is the test of a fan base....but how that fan base reacts to a sustained period of losing that tests their metal.  

    Fair to say.

    You really like tooting that little kazoo don't you gipper?  You don't bother me, I can also say with a great deal of confidence you have never "put me in my place" or made me reevaluate a position.  If I ever stop responding or choose not to engage it is ONLY because i don't care for the run around anymore.  You don't own anyone, you sure as shit have never owned me and the hivemind here only goes so far.  You aren't the board celebrity you think you are and I get a kick out of it. Thanks for the laughs old man river.

    You know what I think you should do? You should get yourself banned again and when you get suspended you should cry to come back, again.  I talk to several people privately on this board and get what i want and need from it.  I don't give a single damn about you or any of the other regular mouth breathers.  Go take a walk.

    It's a good one, lots of it on Reddit.  People get a mindset and pile on and it doesn't matter if  that mindset is right or wrong as long as you fit in with the hive. A good example is gipper who foams at the mouth and acts like he rules the roost.  The other chicken shits show up and bang the drum.

    Of course he can't help himself as he is a lawyer...

    Just telling the truth.

     You don't bother me,

    What makes you think that give one single thought about you on here except when I am responding to you?

    I can also say with a great deal of confidence you have never "put me in my place" or made me reevaluate a position.

    Again what makes you think this has fuck all to do with you?  Either you are a narcissist.....or you have an inferiority complex....either thinking everything is about you....or that people are always talking about you. 

      If I ever stop responding or choose not to engage it is ONLY because i don't care for the run around anymore. 

    No one cares whether you do or you don't. 

    You don't own anyone,

    Of course not.  Have you ever heard of the  13th Amendment? 

    you sure as shit have never owned me and the hivemind here only goes so far.  You aren't the board celebrity you think you are and I get a kick out of it. Thanks for the laughs old man river. 

    Well, based on the fact that you made this post all about me when the subject had nothing to do with you......apparently I AM the board celebrity...at least in your mind.

    Well...it is a "hive mind"  to this extent:    I treat you like a fly and pull your wings off just for fun.  I don't know if flies live in hives....but if you prefer to think of yourself as a bee having his wings plucked....very well then.

    I take the positions I take because primarily they are the winning/correct positions to take....for the most part.  It is only very rarely that I will take a contrarian view just to be contrary. 

    And actually, more than anything lately, because I am a magistrate I am listening to two sides of an argument and making a decision based on the arguments of others.
