Can't wait until the draft...this list should grow significantly
Sorry this took so long but I can't get the format to change to make it easier to read.
your best bet would be to do all this in google sheets and then embed it just like a youtube video (using iframe)
instructions: https://wcmshelp.ucsc.edu/advanced/embedding-google/index.html
Alternatively, you can copy from excel into a excel to html converter and then take that output and paste it into your post. If you change the table class to "blog_statistics" it will look TKP official. Of course, the drawback is you have to pick through code to make changes.
Example:
Me trying to understand what you wrote.
in that case, follow my first link and do it the easy way
First the second one is great looking secondly is google docs just the file sharing thing or another program like word?
the file sharing thing. If you look at my most recent commonwealth clash post, I use the google docs/iframe approach. If you have a google account, go to google drive, click "NEW" (blue button) and select google sheets. This will pull up a browser based spreadsheet app (think excel, but in chrome/firefox/
internet exploreroracle). Enter your info then follow the instructions in that other link to get the iframe code string to paste in your post. Then you can update the sheet in google and it will update here. You can also format however you want to try to make it more presentable and it's a lot easier than doing the same things with the html/css/whateverI'mmechanicalandIdon'tneedtoknowthesethings code.You can copy an excel file directly to imgur. Then copy the box for websites and blogs to TKP.
Quick question: did Sam change his last name (*Robers)?
When the season starts would you be willing to make this and then emailing it to me to post?
Sure you send me the data, I can send you the code.
Of course I'm sure someone here could automate the process but until someone else volunteers I can do it by hand.

He's a little behind, but this website is usually awesome for following our Hokies in the NFL each week.
http://prohokie.dietzdesignz.com
Especially love being able to follow how each player played each week.
Tyrod plays for Cleveland... Is that still considered "in the pros"?
If UVA football is still considered FBS then I think so.
What's the latest with Bucky?
Nothing yet. Last year finished on Panthers practice squad. Hasn't been signed to a futures contract that I can find yet.
Did DeAngelo retire? He's listed as a free agent.
He is weighing is options.
Does anyone else see the irony that we have more offensive linemen in the NFL than any other position?
#OffensiveLinemenU
trey Edmunds saints? or we not counting him as hokie anymore?
I go back and forth. The Saints list him as from Maryland, but he did his pro day at Tech. I'll do what TKP wants, last year I listed him.
List him. Especially because his brothers will be joining him.
Still a hokie to me
I agree list him. I think hes a lot more hokie than terp.
He spent a lot more time in Blacksburg than College Park.
Done. TKP has spoken.
And the Hokies in the assembly said "Fam"
Is BAM BAM KAM medically cleared to play?
As of March 2, not yet, but Pete GumChewer says he is hopeful.
Fansided Article
Surprised he is not with the Giants. Pat Shurmur got him onto the 53 man roster, before he was cut due to injury.
They have a deep TE group.
With a lot invested in it, too.
Their WR Group is very thin. He could be used as a WR. The Jets that is.
Updated with draft 2018.
Teller to Bills. Mad at them cause of Tyrod, but hope Maine, Wyatt and Logan can thrive. Their most recent offensive and defensive tendencies seem set up for them to succeed.
I agree and I believe this is a good situation for them to compete for a starting job day 1.
UDFA signings: Motu Jags, Faycson Chargers, Reavis Jags
Jags have a hole at MLB too. Hope Motu takes advantage of the opportunity.
We should do an open training camp together.m wearing Hokie gear.
I plan on it #DTWD
Saw cam post that he was unsigned still. Any idea what's up with our two leading wrs not getting any love in the draft with Ford going lower and cam still available? Is it the offense we run or do they only recruit speed at that level? Cam wasn't a burner but was a technician for sure.
Yeah, they aren't burners. It's not some conspiracy.
Bills really want Hokie Nation back as fans.
Cam Phillips UDFA deal with Buffalo.
Very surprised he wasn't drafted. He'll get his shot.
Glad he ended up on a team that's super thin at reciever. Benjamin has underperformed since his rookie year and Zay Jones hasn't had the best off-season of all time. I can't name a 3rd receiver on their roster.
Not to mention his (Zay) regular season brick hands
Had to read it twice before I realized you were saying Jones had brick hands, instead of Cam.
Cam Phillips
Boom
Eric Gallo and James Clark get mini camp tryouts
Colton Taylor long snapper has tryouts with Jets and Redskins.
I really like what Clevelands doing this year, other than the draft.
Lol, but I kind of agree.
the Bills and Browns are making it difficult to not root for this year
Wait, Dadi Nicolas is in the NFL?
Well not only is Dadi not going to the Browns he has been waived by the chiefs. This is a blow to Hokies in the NFL.
WTF
WTF indeed. That sucks.
So...Dadi Nicholas isn't in the NFL after all (ducks)
Another Hokie off a NFL roster already.
Damnnn
Stroman got the 25 again.
Good for him. Reading his twitter was getting rough. Dude really wants to play football.
so dadi is in the NFL? *stands back up*
Article praising Facyson signing with the Chargers.
http://www.chargers.com/news/2018/05/16/bolts-may-have-landed-potential-...
Great to see Brandon performing well. Looks like he went to LA with his game Facyson.
Took me longer than I'd like to admit to get this name pun.. but damn it's a good one lol
Sorry this is late. Here ya go
Bravo.
I hate Pittsburgh, but I love this for Malleck.
not that I'd ever rejoice to see a player injured, but replacing a former hoo with a hokie has always got to be an upgrade in my book.
Regardless of injury, Malleck never takes a back to seat to a hoo:
Just don't @ him about it. (That *is* Blanding, right?)
Yup, that is Blanding getting run over.
That block after Malleck breaks the tackle is Bucky Hodges coming across. Must have been a big collision to send him flying.
He single handedly took 3 Hoos out of contention to make a tackle.
Read something about Cam Phillips making a touchdown catch during practice with the Bills the other day.
Well that didn't last long.
Woody Baron playing in the CFL for Montreal.
Tremaine!
Glad to see he's already having fun.
Eeeesshhh. That's like being the most talented player on UVA's football team.
what is there infatuation with this man? trade everyone you can so that he is the "most consistent QB"..... consistency can mean a lot of things. He could be consistently throwing picks you know maybe 5 a practice and that would still make him the most consistent QB.
This is awesome, but I thought Cam had that award under lock & key (w/ his td during training camp)??
He had another TD last week on what was described as a great play by Cam. Unfortunately, it looks like Cam has a large uphill battle to make the 53, might make practice squad
I was wondering where this thread went. Tyrod has had nothing but praise during OTAs and training camp...
Not sure if this applies but I spotted Joshua Stanford catching passes for Saskatchewan the other night
https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2781136-todd-haley-baker-mayfield-ha...
I want Baker to be in the position Tyrod was in with Baltimore.
How Brownian is it for them to take a QB with the number 1 pick for him to potentially walk away from football for baseball with a $5M contract?
doesn't matter tyrod is their future
That is my hope. Tyrod should be able to do great things this year if the Browns OL is even halfway decent.
I think you're mistaking Kyler Murray, who is still at Oklahoma and was selected in the MLB draft, with Baker Mayfield.
Could have been, just heard Sooners QB and draft.
Does Baker even play baseball??
did mike vick? (granted this wasn't the #1 pick but that wasn't baker that is murray OKLA current starting QB.)
Vick was taken in the 30th round of the 2000 Major League Baseball Draft by the Colorado Rockies, despite not playing baseball since the 8th grade
Probably had the same odds of Vick playing pro baseball as Taro Tsujimoto coming over to play pro hockey
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.turfshowtimes.com/platform/amp/2018/5/1...
Not sure how I missed this. Sam Rogers waived.
I was hoping he'd get a couple of good years. Sounds like he might not be completely boxed out yet from making the roster...
Per FudBoster's response, I submit an * be put next to WAIVED regarding Sam Robers.
Anybody else notice the name of the player the Rams brought in when they released Sam Rogers. Dalton Keene, coincidence? Metaphor? Prophecy? I've drank too much?
yes
adonis to the skins
Redskins stockpiling hokies...
Good for Dadi. But the Deadskins?? Seriously?! C'mon Man!!!
This will be me during football season "Good Play ^insert Hokie here^! Grumble grumble Godblessachinesechicken Grumble Grumble Stupid Deadskins. Why the Hell do the stoopid Skins have so many good Hokies? Grumble"
Dadi is back in the NFL!
so close Fireman
Sorry I had to update the master list too. All while at the pool with four kids. Go back to dying early in the storm all while I risked my life to revive you AGAIN
damn son, I sacrificed myself to kill that guy so you could live on and blow the game by shooting rockets straight in the air.
I think it's time for you two to get your own
roomthread. You know like that NASCAR thread for wasnick and HighlanderHokie.for those of you who can't see twitter videos at work, D Hall is officially retired.
I can't link twitter at work, but Jay Gruden says that Kyshoen Jarrett has been helping out the staff and could become an excellent coach. Great to see him still doing NFL things, he was another promising career cut short with injury.
He has been running football camps and doing motivational speaking like his mom in the last couple of years so I could see this being the case. Saw a video and you could tell he still is having difficulty with full mobility in that shoulder and arm.
Steelers swap out Hokie TE's.
i guess we feel good that Bucky got picked up and sad that Malleck got waived. Once he heals up he will probably end up somewhere.
I didn't even pick up Bucky got cut by Jets a few days ago.
Yeah man, you gotta get back on top of that.
Quickest excited fist pump followed by a disappointed head duck ever
Doubt we want a whole thread for the preseason, but Chuck Clark just opened the preseason with a tackle and interception on the opening drive of the year.
Just start a "Hokies in the preseason" thread. Would also help me so this thread isn't 1,000 comments long at the end of the season.
Not a bad idea. Let the other thread (and the "Hokies in NFL Regular Season" thread) be for on-field performance, and let this one be for roster moves and off the field information.
now we're cooking with gas
I just started the thread.
Some high praise from Lesean McCoy
Woody Baron with a sack on Jeremiah Masoli for Montreal. Masoli is having a game. Manziel needs a team around him. Tipped balls, terrible secondary, no OLine. Yeesh. Helps when you're at A&M and have star recievers.
Laurence Gibson signs with Titans.
https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports/football/nfl/bills/201...
HE IS BACK
damn you Bills.... I should hate you but you're pulling me back in.....why the phuck could just not have treated Tyrod right?!
Is it weird to say that Tyrod is in a better situation in Cleveland than buffalo?
ultimately players get traded. it's a business. I have no issue with that, but the Bills organization screwed Tyrod several times culminating in their dumbass decision to tie the record for most INT's in a half. It's a mystery why they couldn't appreciate the man and support him.
is Tyrod in a better position at Cleveland? From a respect point of view, yes certainly. But it seems Baker is their guy, although the organization seems over the moon with Tyrod. I think they see him as a placeholder for a year or two. Will be interesting to see what happens once Tyrod's contract is up. But if Cleveland does well and Tyrod has a stage maybe his next stop will FINALLY be one where he is the showcase.... Or if he wins the superbowl for Cleveland he might just stay.
So if they play each other it's Hokie offense vs. Hokie defense that's gonna be a fun game to watch lol
If I wasn't going out of my way to watch Bills preseason games before I am now.
Terrell Edmunds just forced and recovered a fumble on a kickoff for the Steelers
Big Timmy with a pass block.
Well shit. They've already moved him to TE? /s
He just checked in and he's picking up where he left off last week.
Take your leg.
Tyrod just snapped his left wrist on live TV. That was stomach churning.
Didn't look good at all
He folded the hand under at the wrist. Hope hez ok, those last 4 downs were horrible.
Yep. Terrible not to run the ball. But it's the Browns.
It's preseason. They know they could have pounded in a 1 yard TD run, this is the time to work out the kinks. I have no issue with the play calling there.
I don't know why Landry kept complaining about the no calls when he wasn't getting more than 5 yards down the field on either of those fade routes. As a WR who made his living on short routes you would think he would be wiser to getting off that jam.
Evidently it was a dislocated pinky finger
finky pinger
Hope it's not broken, could be just a sprain, but it looked bad
That was ugly. Right after I saw it I went and put money on the under for the Browns regular season win total.
Can you cancel that bet?
I was on the edge anyway. Worst case scenario I hedge at the end of the season. 6 wins is very bullish for a team that has one win the past two years.
Also, I need an explanation as to how that x-ray was negative...
What sucks too is knowing that if this gets Baker's foot in the door the Browns probably won't look back.
Thank god he looks ok. He's smiling back on the field.
Shew, he looks good on the sideline. #TeamTuhRod #ScrewBaker
Hope he is good. Time to put him on the bench the rest of this off-season where he belongs.
He's baaaaaaaaack!
Looks like it was Tyrod's non-throwing hand, and he came back in for a series, so he good
Baker just thru an awful pick. Joe Buck sounds like hes givin Mayfield a header. Also, #80, landry is horrible, he and the dude he ran into twice on pik routes cost tyrod a td. Buck and bradshaw givin landry a header, and he is not showing much. Dont listen to fox sports, they're on their knees for certain players, jeesh this is an awful game and tv coverage.
I generally think Landry is a good player but it was beyond ridiculous how bad he screwed up those end zone routes. Both times he screwed up his route by running into someone else, once his own teammate, and then begged the ref for PI calls (which he rightfully didn't get). If he does his job, either one should have been an easy TD for Tyrod.
The one deep ball I saw Tyrod throw, looked like Landry eased up and quit on it too.
Yeah that one looked like he had a step and never found the ball. Pass landed just past the sideline so it was thrown well to his outside shoulder. I know its preseason, but I would have liked more effort to get to that ball.
Terrell Edmunds intercepted Mariota and had a nice return of about 30 yards and finished the run by delivering a pretty good hit to Mariota.
Make sure he remembers! Sweet!
Chuck Clark also had an interception tonight against Miami.
Motu looked okay tonight. Absolutely whiffed an open field tackle though. Reavis was pretty good, but got his bell rung making a tackle. Was down for a long time, and then walking back to the tunnel, you could see in his eyes he had no idea where he was.
Cut down is coming. All teams must be down to 53 man rosters by Saturday at 4pm EST. I'll try and keep up as best I can.
And for that we thank you

Wrong thread maybe, but Quin Blanding cut by Skins
That's so odd (based on all the reports from him this off-season/pre-season). Any ideas what team might be a good fit or is in need of WRs?
That move makes no sense to me. I expect some other team to pick him up. C'mon Redskins.
Isaiah Ford cut
edit: too slow
I doubt he clears waivers
Might end up on the Pats.
Not only did Blanding get cut and Stroman and Adonis made the team, but Benkert was also cut today lol
Great news for Stro and AA!
I thought the final cut list for the Skins won't be released until 4 today?
The Bengals also cut 5th round draft pick Andrew Brown.
Laurence Gibson cut
Starting to pick up steam on the cuts. Trying to stay on top and with waiver pickups and practice squad next three days.
Buffalo cut Sam Rogers
Jacksonville cut Motu and Reavis but they are expected to be on the PS from what I have seen.
*Didn't mean to reply to this, meant as a new comment but works either way.
Bucky Hodges cut by the Steelers
Sucks. Just thinking about what Bucky, Ford, and Jerod could have done for us last year and how underwhelming they've been at the next level is frustrating. I thought Bucky had a legit shot to make the team bc of the TE injuries in Pittsburgh.
Yeah, the TE situation in Pittsburg is perplexing. From what I had read, I thought Bucky was the only healthy TE on the roster and had a chance to start Week 1. Either James's back injury is not as severe as initially thought, or they think there are some good free agent options? That move was really surprising.
Looks like they may stash him on the practice squad.
Did a quick edit through. I'll fine tune it tonight. But as expected it wasn't pretty for offensive players.
Facyson makes the Chargers' 53-man roster.
From UDFA to the 53. Awesome to see.
This one pleases me the most out of all the guys that made teams this year because of what he's been through. When he first got to campus, I thought he was just as good as Kendall was, maybe even better in certain aspects. But injuries really took a toll and took away some of that wow factor from his freshman year. But he kept grinding and found a way to make it to the NFL, showing that flash from his freshman year wasn't lost.
Dadi cut by the Skins
Yep had that one.
Not a Hokie but a Fuente player...
Paxton Lynch was cut by Denver. From 1st rounder to cut in 3 offseasons. Ouch
Guess Pete won't be using him in any more tweets uh.
i mean, he put the guy in the league from freaking Memphis. still something.
Ford on Dolphins Practice Squad
Ballsy by the Bills to cut Sam Rogers. Bucky practice squad?
What about CJ Reavis he should be listed too.
CJ made the Jags practice squad, DUVUALLLLL but as much as we like him are we counting him among Hokies? Bucky also isn't official as far as I've seen come across. I said above he looked like he was headed there but I don't change things until they are official.
Edit: and Bucky and Cam just came across the lists.
Yeah CJ is family son, bet
I count him. And if Mook makes it, I'll count him too.
Played at least a season and still has love for the school. It was great seeing the seniors travel to Marshall for Reavis' last game.
List has been updated as of 8/2.
That's a damned sexy table ya got there
"damned sexy table" anagrams to "beaded stream lynx"
I think you mean 9/2
Had to figure out Nick Bectons status first. 😉
Didn't we have someone playing in China?
I'm married now, so on the retired list.
Good answer. Saying just about anything else puts you on injured reserve.
Last I saw (might not be the case anymore) Bryan Randall was playing in China's Arena Football league
Nick Becton's status with the Giants is a little fuzzy. He is listed on IR for some and waived injured for others. I'll try and keep up with all of this as best I can. Unfortunately I don't have time to do arena and overseas leagues this year.
Look at that, you edited Becton's status. Proud of you. Btw, I have Baron in the table. If you just want the table to be NFL guys, we can change that.
It works that way. If we get more guys in CFL then maybe a second table?
Trey Edmunds cut by Saints is going to sign with Steelers Practice Squad.
Not surprising given their talent at RB.
Linking up with his bro, but ugggh more Hokies on Shittsburg's team
Exum back on 49ers active roster.
So for first week f NFL season there are 15 Hokies on active rosters, 5 practice squad guys and 1 on IR.
Tyrod has already secured a better record for the Browns this year vs last year
And the Bills got smoked with starting Peterman.
Honestly, I'm the biggest Tyrod homer there is, but today he did not look good. I know the weather was bad, but from a passing perspective it did not look pretty.
I agree, I I'll give him some timing slack with this being his first game with Gordon, but at one point he wa 15/39 passing. It was a rainy game, but that is not good. I didn't see the game to know if it was drops or poor throws, but the Browns had many chances to win that one today, which is still a credit to Tyrod.
Lots of drops. Also some poor throws. But it was a tough day to be a qb. Rothlesburger had 3 ints.
He had a 4th in OT
He didn't play great today but it was a monsoon and he still made some plays when it mattered to send it to OT. Would love to see him bounce back next week.
Checking to make see Steelers fans are coping okay with this near loss.
Big Timmy almost had a sack today for the Redskins in some very limited time.
To any Skins fans, did any of our boys see the field and how did they do today??
Hey guys can we take the "how did Hokies play" over to the other thread. Last year I couldn't get this one to load with the amount of comments by seasons end.
Finally some good NFL news.
They lining him up at QB? What are their choices this week Pick Peterman orr Derek Anderson?
....Logan Thomas?
Me thinks Anderson was already given starting nod
The whole thing is insane. Anderson has no business in the league at this point and Nathan Peterman is maybe the worst QB in NFL history. There have to be at least 30 QBs more qualified to start a NFL game... and one of them is in the middle of a collusion case against the NFL. It's crazy.
That's an understatement. The dude has a total QBR of 4.9.....his Passer rating is 16 this season which miraculously brought his all time passer rating down to a 29.9. His stat line is hilariously bad.
http://www.espn.com/nfl/player/stats/_/id/2972236/nathan-peterman
He sucked at Pitt I'm still shocked he even got a shot in the NFL
Right? When I heard that the Bills planned to bench Tyrod in favor of Peterman last year, I remember having to look him up to realize he was Pitt's old quarterback. I am truly baffled a guy like that even got drafted. Was he even one of the better QBs in the ACC? I don't remember him ever really being talked about.
He was top 10 in passer rating his senior year (leading the ACC in a year with Mitch Trubisky, Lamar Jackson, Deshaun Watson, and Jerod Evans) and #11 in QBR. Plus he and James Conner led Pitt to a top 5 offense in terms of efficiency that year.
He was a good college QB that year, and is a truly awful NFL one.
a passer rating of 29 is so bad that i could throw 100 incompletions and still be 10 points higher
Logan Thomas IS their emergency Gameday QB.
He is a better choice than Peterman.
That's not saying much. The play60 kids would be a better choice than Peterman.
LT does have a yards per completion average of 81 and a perfect touchdown to interception ratio after all.
In order for him to be on the roster the bills cut undrafted WR Robert Foster out of Alabama.
5-star #1 ranked WR #18 overall player by 247 out of Pennsylvania in the 2013 HS recruiting class.
Never heard of him, guess he never really panned out at Alabama and now in the NFL.
Career stat line of 29 receptions for 345 yards and 3 touchdowns in college. I'm surprised he ever made an active roster.
He had a good camp, but if Cam had not gotten hurt, Cam would have most likely made the opening day 53 and Foster would have been PS.
Nearly all major P5 guys that play, get at minimum a tryout in the NFL
Dudes like this are a good reminder that guys like Devon hunter could be busts or not as good as we would wish. This dude was the number 1 wide receiver in his class and didn't do much in college. Only difference is Alabama can afford to have a few 4 & 5 stars not pan out since they have another 2 or 3 of the same potential at any position.
Yea dude is terrible and has no chance of becoming a pro. /s.
Maybe we should give our guys a chance to develop before we write them off.
You have to think about Alabama over the past 10 years under Saban and realize how little they have utilized their receivers outside of blocking. The Redskins have a similar Alabama wide receiver in Cam Simms that they got as an undrafted free agent because he was so little used. Four stars, #87 overall in the 2014 class, Played all four years, totaled 415 yards on 37 catches. But he is 6'5, 214 lbs and lightning fast in the initial burst and has the vertical to high point over almost any defensive back in the league so great for Red Zone opportunities. If he hadn't gotten hurt preseason likely would have been starting or at least competing with Josh Doctson for playing time. Ton of similar stories for other Alabama wide receivers over the years. Likely not limited to wide receiver either considering how many 4 and 5 stars Saban has had since he has been there.
Yet it doesn't seem to hurt their 'crootin. Why come?
Because they have also had Arrderius Stewart's, Calvin Ridley's, Amari Cooper's, Julio Jones, etc. Now they are like 6 deep with productive and future NFL WR's.
Sorry I'm so behind on this.
Cam Phillips cut from active roster then placed back on practice squad.
Isaiah ford got called up to the active roster for the dolphins. per a sauce. should be official by the end of the week. hopefully the sauce is a good one as it came from a 3rd party that works with Isaiah's brother who both are friends of mine. if true... its about time. because the phins have called up some people that Isaiah is way better than.

Ford's work ethic and patience Finally getting him a shot.
All three Edmunds brothers back on active NFL rosters.
Let the Edmundination begin!
Noyce use of that Bell money
The Steelers are trying pretty damn hard to make me root for them...
Tim Settle got some run in the game last night, which is two games in a row for him.
Has only recorded 4 tackles so far (3 in the Dallas game, 1 last night), and from what I've seen he's still learning and/or working up to NFL level strength and conditioning. Seemed like he pushed the pile and got into the backfield a few times, but also had a few plays where he was getting overpowered.
He was also the next in line OL if another one got hurt last night.
Before too long Settle might be playing QB for the Skins
He was next up for OL, so it might end up being like backyard football... Timmy snaps the ball to himself....
I think the theme song for the skins needs to change from "Hail to the Redskins" to "Another One Bites the Dust"
In the same game Greg Stroman slipped up on a Golden Tate juke move in the back of the endzone and ended up giving up the TD, but came close to recovering and making a really nice PBU
I also saw Stro make an excellent open field tackle for a very short gain.
Dunno why I brain farted on Stro.
He's also had an up and down year, definitely made some open field tackles and also been burned in coverage.
Both guys are learning.
Stro has TGray and Tim has a wealth of talent around him to learn from + a good DLine coach in Tomsula.
stro had a tough game. of no fault of his own most times. he missed an open field tackle against golden tate (which most DBs would miss) but the experience hes gained this year, I think he will be a really good slot DB/ nickel back in the future. I mean the whole redskins secondary is pretty good. Adonis also got some late game burn and played decent.
get to see all my guys in jax in 2 weeks and pretty excited to see them.
Also committed a roughing the passer penalty that I thought was rather unfortunate (though as an Eagles fan I wasn't complaining).
it was largely bs also, shoved into wentz
yeah, but hey that's easy to overlook when its better business for the Eagles to be in the playoffs.
I'm sorry but as an Eagles fan the idea of the league trying to nudge us into the playoffs makes me actually laugh out loud.
Our next game is against the Cowboys, in Dallas, and if we lose that it all but eliminates us from contention. I think if any nudging were happening, it would be in their favor.
edit: LIKE THAT. I mean, we played like garbage and didn't deserve to win but after those officiating decisions yesterday I don't ever want to hear about this again
saw that in the Chiefs/Ravens game that Chuck Clark had an INT and Kendall Fuller with the PBU that led to the Chiefs winning
The camera crew also caught them exchanging jerseys after the game!
I love Kendall... but that was PI. Unfortunate no call for RG3 and Snead on a 4th and 20 something.
Let the boys play. He was going for the ball.
I do see your point in that that Kendall was treading on that line though.
From what I remember, it seemed like he was at least looking at the ball, which even if there is contact don't the refs usually let that go? I also might not be remembering it correctly.......
I was going to let the first response go. Yes, he was looking at the ball, but his right arm was on top of Snead's right shoulder pad and pulled/spun him back before the ball got there. He dove too soon and changed the receivers ability to catch the ball. If someone has video evidence otherwise, I'd be happy to look.
I keep forgetting that dude can't even by himself a beer with all that first round money.
Wyatt Teller has been starting for the Bills recently.
Kyle Fuller with an int, apparently he is tied for the most in the league
Kyle Fuller with the SNF pick! Hokies are balling out today!
Edit:
Article about Kyle in Chicago Tribune - https://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/football/bears/ct-spt-bears-kyle-f... Same paper questioned the Bears keeping him, so nice to see some positive recognition. Would be awesome if he could get a pick sunday against Rodgers.
Kendall Fuller just snagged a NICE interception!
In the endzone right before the half, with the Bolts throwing for the tying score. Great timing!
Too bad he had ROUGH final few minutes of the game (that PI was total bullshit though. The refs this year have been absolutely atrocious at damn near everything)
It reminded me a little of the OPI during the USC game. PI but no touching? How?
calling PI correctly has gotten a lot harder since they started recruiting padawans...
That PI was a makeup call for the no-call on the helmet-to-helmet hit on Rivers just before that.
That was my gut feeling as well.
Was at the game, nice to see Kendall get an INT, the PI at the end was such a garbage call
Just how loud is Arrowhead? Watched quite a few games there on tv over the years and damn it sounds loud as hell.
It was very loud, louder than Lane in its heyday, I think they broke the record for decibels in a sports stadium at 142.2. Apparently Lane's record is 126 db. It was LIT though,had a ton of fun at the game. My only nfl live game experience was a Redskins game, which was fun but KC fans are on another level of fandom. Would definitely recommend watching a game there. Side note, they used Enter Sandman as their intro song, wasn't quite the same with no one jumping :)
Annnd boom. Not a lot of specifics here, but sounds like he will be out for a while. At least he made a great play before time off the field
Chiefs CB Fuller to Have Surgery
Not that he needs more than one wrist...
Also, as I understand it, the wrist was already injured before last night and he was playing anyway.
Wow that's powerful stuff.
Great to see him do well, I was so excited for him to start for us.
This is why I'm glad he's included in the OP list. Regardless of what happened in that situation back then, he's still one of us.
Pretty good for Kyle, he went from they were going to cut him to Probowl.
Yeah, but they were going to cut him because they were stupid. Then, they made the smart decision to keep him.
They made the stupid decision to decline his rookie deal's fifth year option, then made the smart decision to match the offer sheet he signed with the Packers.
Could be wrong, but I think this is his 2nd Pro bowl selection.Edit: N/m. Felt like he had gone once before, but I guess not. Also, felt like Kendall got cheated out of a Pro Bowl appearance last season (imop).
You're wrong.
Tremaine Edmunds with another interception. Having a year in Buffalo.
Tremaine Edmunds And Kendal Fuller were the leading tacklers on their respective teams this week. And Stroman has worked himself into regular playing time on Sundays.
Logan barely slowed down running through this guy
