I don't know how to post videos ... off the top of my head:
- huge first game with two long runs in Oakland - big (90 yard?) run vs Atlanta - screen pass at Heinz Field in the playoffs for a TD - playoff clinching run at home when Fitzpatrick whiffed - long, winding run vs Chargers - huge winning run against Texans when he went OB - behind the defenders back TD grab in Cincy - stiff arm run vs Philadelphia - stiff arm run vs Pittsburgh - HUGE run at Baltimore when we drilled them there
See you back playing in 2024, Nick Chubb, our best player and a true Brown.
But geez, to some on these boards, can we stop with the crybaby bs (no offense to anyone) and get behind the rest of the season? At least until next week?
We’re two weeks in, 1-1, our D looks good. If we don’t give up two D scores we beat them.
Chubb’s injury had me down last night and I almost didn’t care if we won. The game sucked after that play. It wasn’t Fitzpatrick’s fault, it was football.

Nothing tops that one picture of the red zone TD in Baltimore with the trail of broken Raven defenders behind him.
Watched that vid. I am so sad that we might not ever see Chub run for the browns again. The dude was stand up in his personal life and his pro life. ........................
I don't think I've ever been so affected by the loss of a player. I completely lost interest in the game after Nick went down, and I don't have much desire to watch the game this Sunday. I hope he realizes what a positive impact he's had on the fans, the Browns and the city. He is a true legend.
Possibly his life in football did. His career may have. This was something devastating not only to Chubb but to his friends, family, the team and his fans.

There have been three players since the Browns returned in 1999 that I have had a great deal of respect for not only as players but as people who have been at least in part the face of the Browns. Joe Thomas, Nick Chubb and Myles Garrett. They embody not only what we hope and expect to see on the field, but off the field as well. The type of people that make you feel a sense of pride in your team.
I'm hoping Chubb makes a speedy and full recovery. We need him more than ever and no matter how anyone slices it, this team is markedly less without him.
I don't think Minkah should play until Chubb does. I couldn't imagine intentionally hurting someone like that. Just typical steeler BS they get away with
The best thing about this thread for me, which I'm screwing up by posting this, is that there were 24 comments waiting for me to see them in a thread about #24.
BILLS FANS DONATING MONEY TO NICK CHUBB’S FAVORITE CHARITY
We're already into week 3 of the 2023 NFL season and we have a ton of storylines on and off the field.
The Buffalo Bills ate 1-1, with a matchup against the Washington Commanders this Sunday. It's the first game between the two teams since 2019 (a win for the Bills at home).
As for the rest of the league, the injuries have been a huge talking point. There seems to be an abundance of injuries through the first two weeks of the season -- with high profile talent as well.
Get our free mobile app Enter mobile number The latest star player to go down was last night. It was also one of the most gruesome injuries we have witnessed in the last decade.
During the second quarter of the Monday Night Football game between the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers, Browns running back Nick Chubb was injured on a run play inside the 10-yard-line. It was a knee injury that ESPN did not even show a replay of, because of the nature of the video.
Chubb is out for the remainder of the 2023 season.
NFL fans and media members voiced sadness and frustration over Chubb's injury on social media, and Bills fans decided to help out Chubb by donating to his favorite charity.
Bills fans are donating to First Candle, which is a charity in Georgia that spreads awareness and helps to prevent SIDS and sleep-related infant deaths. Chubb's nephew Junior died from unexpected infant death and donated proceeds of his cereal, Chubb Crunch, to the cause. Chubb is from Georgia.
Now, Bills fans are supporting it with $24 donations, referring to the number 24 jersey that Chubb wears.
This is no new thing for Bills Mafia.
They donated to Lamar Jackson's charity after his injury in the AFC Divisional round playoff game in January of 2021. They also famously donated to the charity of Bills safety Damar Hamlin this past January, along with many of other NFL fans.

unreal!!
Here's the link with the article. Absolutely incredible it was only his MCL. Great news!
The season-ending knee injury that Browns running back Nick Chubb sustained on Monday night was so horrific that ESPN declined to show the replay. And online, early reports indicated a total dislocation, which could have been career-threatening.
Chubb's reality is far more optimistic, sources say, after a battery of tests throughout the week. While Chubb was placed on injured reserve and will miss the remainder of the season, the very real possibility exists that he can return to 100% health and play again.
Sources say tests showed Chubb suffered a torn MCL, which will be surgically repaired next week. While his ACL did sustain some damage, it was not fully torn
There is still a chance, however, that Chubb must undergo full ACL reconstruction. If the surgeon examines the knee during surgery and determines there is enough damage done, a complete repair would be necessary. But going into the surgery, even with all the damage in the knee, it's not a given.
In addition, Chubb did not dislocate his kneecap and the other ligaments appear intact, sources say. Doctors may also repair Chubb's knee using two separate surgeries, which would be common given the injury.
Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson, like many on Monday night, immediately thought about Chubb's college injury in 2015 -- a dislocated kneecap, plus a torn PCL, MCL and LCL.
"Once we saw the replay and exactly what happened, just a lot of flashbacks to the previous one he had in college," Watson said on Sept. 18 after the Browns' 26-22 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Except this injury doesn't appear to be as traumatic as the one Chubb endured at the University of Georgia.
To be sure, four-time Pro Bowler faces months of recovery. But being ready for next season is within the realm of possibility.
"Does he actually have a bionic knee?" I asked myself. So I went back to read about his original injury and original amazing recovery... Actually a very informative article:
While what some are calling "news" sounds very positive, I've seen how seeing words like "thought to be", "believed to be" and "online reports" have often times been wrong. Like everyone I'm hoping for the best, at the same time I'm going to have to hear something more official before I can breathe a sigh of relief.

Bottom line.... we won't know sheet till they get in there and take a look.
you just wonder about genetics ... some people can heal very quickly, or can avoid major injuries etc. The body is an amazing thing
I remember Kenny Lofton returning very quickly from a torn rotator cuff. Surgery in mid-December, back in center field on opening day. They had the surgeon on a telecast early in the season. He said Kenny is just "wired differently" and he had never seen anything like it.
I think Chubb may be in the same category. Let's hope the surgery and rehab go well.

Definitely. Bothers us all that Nick got hurt like that. The way he was running I really believe we would have won that game. 64 yards on 10 carries. They couldn't stop him.
While Chubb has since been placed on injured reserve due to that gruesome knee injury, there has since been some early optimism news surrounding the back's ailment. Initial tests conducted on the Chubb leave room for hope that he did not suffer a torn ACL, according to ESPN. However, the report does also note that doctors do believe the ACL was stretched on the play and that he may still be dealing with a torn MCL. Chubb's recovery timeline is reportedly between six and eight months.
That's what some of us had feared. Preliminary reports sounded a little too positive considering what we had witnessed and I saw nothing anyone could consider official in any of those reports.
What caught my eye on the Chubb surgery report was the comment about 'repairing' the ACL. My son tore his ACL about 5 years ago. Pre-surgery, the surgeon said they wouldn't really know the extent of the damage until they got in there (via a scope) - although he was all-but-certain my son's was torn (and it was). If it wasn't torn, they would 'repair' it.
Anyway, I did not ask then ^ and do not know now what is meant by a 'repair'. So...it's not torn but it needs repaired. I think they kind of sew it back into a woven state - which is supposedly quite effective...I suppose depending upon how much damage there was...and I think that's all done via arthroscopy.
Any medical folks out there that can confirm - or deny - my comments there ^.
I certainly wouldn't make any prediction as it pertains to his return. He's certainly a fighter and a determined young man no matter which way he decides to move forward.
Any of the injuries individually wouldn't particularly worry me. Yet, the cumulative effect is troubling. It's a lot easier for one thing to heal if everything around it is sound. When it is essentially everything that is unsound, that's rough. If anyone can make it back, it's Chubb.
