Wow on Demaryius Thomas...drafted in 2010 I think off hand, same draft as Teebow. He put up a 5 year stretch with Peyton as his QB that was something else.

As for the Thursday night game, that was bloody close to being one play away from going to OT. Vikings running the ball like that with a 29 point lead...almost blew it.

Really sad to read the Thomas news.

Such a likeable guy who overcame a lot of life's hurdles as a child to make himself great.

Pretty incredible they even managed to climb back into this one yesterday. Quickly souring on Claypool too. Super talented, but the guy produces dumb #### every week.

Shocking news about Demariyus Thomas. Way, way, way too young.

Claypool costing his team valuable seconds celebrating with a running clock and only 38 seconds left, needing a touchdown, is elite stupidity. If he were a borderline player I'd imagine this would be the thing that gets him cut.

DT was one of the greatest to ever put on a Bronco jersey on the field, but off the field he was possibly the greatest Bronco of all time. He was so generous with his time and that smile....

Absolute legend in Denver and the world is a little less friendly today. Nicest dude ever.

I like Claypool (and I'm a Steelers fan) but I'm actually concerned that he is trending down the same path as Antonio Brown. I think he has a lot of potential but if he has an attitude he could be a cancer in the locker room. He was pretty stupid all game starting right at the beginning with that unnecessary Personal Foul followed by the near turnover. After he had the ball knocked out I did not expect to see him back on the field. As much as I don't want to see it happen I think that trading him before next season would be ideal especially if Juju is healthy again.

AB at least balled out and only became a problem in his final years in Pittsburgh. Claypool's only in his second year and he's pretty far away from his rookie performances, so him developing an attitude and costing the team with his dumb mistakes is concerning. The kid needs to smarten up fast or it's over before he knows it. Either way, Diontae Johnson's the one they need to pay.

True. I think that between Juju, Johnson, Freiermuth, McCloud and Harris they can afford to lose Claypool.

Well Antonio Brown might be a stretch. This is a guy accused of some pretty serious off field stuff.

Last year Juju was getting raked over the coals for his Tik Toks and being about his brand more than the team. This year Juju is an afterthought as he's injured and he's down the depth chart.

They might trade Claypool, but he's still productive on a rookie deal so they might keep him another year. But they likely don't give him a second contract, he's too much of an Individual and the Steelers tend to move away from those guys.

I really miss Juju though, his blocking is not appreciated enough. Canada calling these tosses to Harris makes no sense without Juju there doing the hard work, those other receivers are simply not up to it.

A college coach failing when he can’t bully Young men and coaches and struggling when their talent isn’t 2X their competition ?

Mind blown

He sounds like a lovely man and I imagine he has a long career in Jacksonville ahead of him

Remember when Jacksonville was 1 quarter away from playing in the Superbowl, literally feels like a lifetime ago but it was 2018

If Denver can't throttle what I realize is a very hard playing Lions team today after what had transpired this week I think I might be done until Fangio is fired. Would be absolutely shameful to lose THIS game.

The rest of the Jets uniform is so terrible and XFL'ey, but their helmets are so nice. When they finally fix the uni, I hope they keep those lids.

You know you're in a tough situation with personnel when your starting QB has an injured finger that is clearly badly affecting his throwing and causing lots of sailed passes, but you start him anyway because there's no better option.
