Tyreek Hill receiving yards: 477. Justin Fields passing yards: 471 - Strongbad Oct 4, 07:35 6
- I saw that Fields had 11 passes in a game they were down 20. The coach should be fired for that. -- (edited) - Will Hunting Oct 4, 07:49 5
  - The offensive line is a sieve on pass protection. They run block pretty well, but Fields is running for his life. -- nm - pmb Oct 4, 08:56
  - why can't it be both? -- nm - Beaker Oct 4, 08:26
  - Though is there a chance that some of those were plays called as passes and then Fields never threw the ball? - JD Oct 4, 08:03 1
    - That is what happened. If I recall, in that game there were 18 pass plays called but 7 were either sacks or runs. - zunk takes things literally Oct 4, 08:36
  - The take yesterday was that defenses know his first reaction is to run, so they show pressure and then just spy all over. It's never going downfield. -- nm - Volnelk Oct 4, 07:53

Procrastinated on the $1.99 Peacock deal and missed it but it worked out. Bogarted Peacock Premium from my son's Xfinity account. Signed up for Hulu - oblique Oct 4, 07:12 9

        er, wait. So there's data (the show), the show data gives way to the ad data which is blocked, the show data stream meanwhile has been waiting for - JD Oct 4, 08:08

- What? It's a balmy 57° in my bedroom. Not even close to caving. -- nm - Ender Oct 4, 07:03 1
  - NGL, I'm more than a little insulted you think I may have already caved... #NoHeatTillNovember -- nm - Ender Oct 4, 08:46
- I turned it on yesterday. I could bundle up, but my hands were cold and I can't type with gloves. Also it was a bit damp on top of cold. -- nm - Dano Oct 4, 07:00 1
