Come on bro, this happens in sports. It didn’t have an impact on the game. Just feeds into the mythology. There are so many variables and stakes in a football game, yet we wanna highlight JuJu? And btw, he wasn’t the only one to “disrespect” the Browns. When Shaq called the Sacramento Kings, the Sacramento Queens what happened?

It’s a playoff game. The stakes are at its highest. There are so many variables in a football game. Their trash talk wasn’t the reason they gave up 28 points in the first Q.

Jesus balls, are you arguing just to argue?? What's your horse in this race?

I'm not saying talking schnitzel is like a transformative superpower like Popeye throwing down a can of spinach, but these are apex level athletes and competitors who will jump on ANYTHING, real or perceived, to try and gain any slight edge. Players, former players, coaches, etc, talk ALL THE TIME about the effect bulletin board material can have. It doesn't mean it's automatic, there are tons of instances where teams or players have talked crap and gotten away with it. Hell maybe it fuels themselves up, feels like it gives them an edge. And that's all fine. Even JuJu doing what he was doing was fine...until it wasn't.

Around midseason it became a "thing", and teams started noticing it more and taking more of an issue with it. At that point if I'm his teammate I'm grabbing him and saying alright, enough, cool it for awhile. But nope, he had to double down and say what he said this week. The Browns have a hundred percent making reference to it. I'm not saying it is THE reason why the Steelers came out and diarrhea'd all over the field for an entire half. One team executed and the other didn't. But it's somewhere in that mix, in the margins, and sometimes just that little difference can make things snowball.

Why do you think Belichick essentially puts a gag on his players, while also nitpicking any remote potential slight he can use to motivate? I'm not saying it can make the impossible happen, and turn sure defeat into a resounding victory, but in a sport where the phrase "any given Sunday" exists for a reason, and the gap between the worst team and the best team is probably narrower than we imagine, it can help.

Have you ever actually played sports? Trash talk is 100% a motivator. Being extra motivated doesnt mean you are going to win though.

he will be on another team, see if he continues that or if the HC will have rules and not allow that sorta trash talk.
