Yup.

"Arians told Schefter on his podcast in 2019 that Brown was "too much of a diva," and said as recently as March that Brown wasn't a fit on the Bucs."

Counterpoint - Bucs have been riddled by injuries to the receiving corps, Brady personally is vouching for AB, and its a 1 year rental on a vet minimum salary. If AB fucks up, the Bucs can drop him without much investment. I don't think any of his antics had any long lasting negative effects on the Steelers, Patriots, or Raiders, so I'm not sure how much of an affect he will have on the locker room with a lot of veteran leadership in it.

Don't get me wrong, it's still a risk, but for a Bucs fan, I'm ok with taking calculated risks like this

That's just hyperbole - just because Arians said that stuff in the past doesn't mean he didn't change his mind - we honestly don't know what Arians feels today about AB and whether he had any hand or not in this signing.

And really, what does it even mean to be in charge? Arians let the OC run the offense and Bowles run the defense - he's really there to build them a roster. And that's what they are doing - there's a good chance BA relented because of injuries and wanting to win and was ok with this signing. We'll just have to wait and see how it plays out in practice and in games in the next few weeks

Evans has been playing through stuff and Godwin has barely been healthy all year. Scotty Miller has been dealing with stuff as well.

pppft, yet another seachickens SNF game. It's already their 3rd this season and it's only week 7. It's bad enough to have to listen to Collinsworth but him drooling over Wilson yet again is gonna be too disgusting. And with the schedule being so fluid I fully expect them to end up with 5 or 6 SNF games

I mean, if Wilson keeps leading crazy last second wins, why not keep throwing them on there. I'll take another ~100 yards and 2 TD's to Metcalf, please.

What? You'd rather have another Cowboys game? Primetime slots should be filled with the best teams.

Yeah actually that would have been a good one.

Do you believe in Herbert?

I can’t wait for the slap fight against the Redskins today.

I think they will flex in a Miami game or two if Tua does alright. Watched a bit of Rich Eisen and he brought it up: The QB matchups are very interesting: the rest of the schedule for Miami is Tua vs. Goff, Murray, Herbert, Lock, maybe Darnold, Burrow, Mahomes, Newton, Carr, and Josh Allen.

CBS and Fox have rights to protect one game per week from being flexed. No doubt Pitt/Ten was protected.

Burrow throws a tough red zone INT and Mayfield gives it right back two plays later.
