DE Nick Bosa "Smaller Bear" NO POLITICS | Page 1438

Not trying to make excuses for Bosa but I get where he was coning from. He's not trying to cause a penalty by grabbing his high, which refs are always itching to call.

Tackling isn't bush league IMO and he looked like that most of the year.

Nah, that was a bad effort. Ripping his arm off? Come on now lol. I like Bosa a lot but IDK wtf he was thinking there. You think Greenlaw would've allowed that to happen?

I've seen that tackle hundreds off times when a player tries to stiff arm a defender, then you pull him down by his arm.

Wasn't he a game time decision to play?

I don't fault him for effort at the end of the game and that crazy drive, but I would guess if he had another chance in that situation he would try do something else than try to grab his torso

This sums up 2024 Bosa for me in one play.

Just grab the arm and go down. If a player wants to stiff arm he's exposing himself to a arm bar tackle.

Yep, was dealing with the hip injury and had been a limited participant in practice leading into this game.

That is 100% the rules, does not want his hands around the neck area, and does not want a "hip drop" tackle

What do you guys mean? Have you guys never seen a player use a stiff arm and get still get tackled? You take him down by their arm,

it's simple.

I like Bosa, but that was a dumb play by him.

This dude will be cut if he continues to play like this. You can't pay someone 34M a year in the NFL and get mediocre output.

So despite missing 3 games and likely playing through injuries he is... he's 7th in total pressures?

Tell me how that's bad?

How is this even a question when he's the highest paid defensive player in football.

So now his stats are bad because he's made of glass?

My guy it's Christmas. Do you not have a family?

Not everyone celebrates Christmas and today seems like a great day to talk how much Bosa has let everyone down.

Why are you here, dips**t?

Basically what I read is that your family hates you. Makes sense.

You need to stop projecting and fix things with your family dude.

Red, we get what you're saying about Bosa but no need to call Gore a dips**t. Bosa is a great player but he hasn't been elite in 2 years. No big deal.
