Innovator 09-20-2015 08:33 PM

Mine can't get out of its own way.

Also, I feel bad for Romo. All last week was spent saying how much healthier he feels, now breaks his clavicle again

McLegend 09-20-2015 08:36 PM

Your team can at least get a lead.

Yeah seems like Romo was jinxed.

Evil Vito 09-20-2015 08:41 PM

<font color=goldenrod>And the Giants have to play again Thursday, with Cruz and Beason still out for an indefinite amount of time. Fuck.</font>

SlickyTrickyDamon 09-20-2015 10:10 PM

Cowboys are fucked Romo hurt (He lost 10 weeks to the same injury before) and 10-12 weeks without Dez Bryant.

Vastardikai 09-21-2015 06:42 AM

Maybe Garrett can take off the headset and grab a helmet.

Ruien 09-21-2015 06:52 AM

It's a good thing the division is complete shit. Who's going to challenge the Romoless Cowboys?

Emperor Smeat 09-21-2015 09:37 AM

Doubt the NFL is going to bother to investigate but NBC Sports is reporting the Bills might have broken a rule against artificial noise for yesterday's game. League sent a memo during pre-season for teams to stop doing it since its been an issue for years.

Bills also might have tipped the league about possible shenanigans happening when they went public saying they wanted to break the stadium noise world record for their home opener.

#1-norm-fan 09-21-2015 10:20 AM

Looking like 8-10 weeks (7-9 games) without Romo. Still think the Eagles are the more realistic competition for the division over Washington so basically a 2 1/2 game lead 2 weeks in to try to nurse for a couple months. Luckily the defense has looked pretty fucking stellar, so 4-4 isn't completely out of the realm of possibility. I'd feel decent at 6-4 in that division with Romo coming back.

Evil Vito 09-21-2015 10:55 AM

<font color=goldenrod>I wish I could summon up the optimism to say the Giants will win a couple of ballgames and get right back into it but I just can't. Even if they manage to win on Thursday on short rest, they then have to go to Buffalo for a really tough matchup with the Bills.

This just seems like a miserable football team.</font>

Innovator 09-21-2015 11:38 AM

Luckily the division looks to be miserable. Only thing is Dallas has a 2-0 division lead already.

<font color=goldenrod>They must be pretty confident that Cruz will be ready by Week 4 in Buffalo at the latest. They'll just go with 4 WRs into Thursday's game I imagine.

Good opportunity for Geremy Davis to show what he can do. Gotta root for a UConn guy.</font>

Innovator 09-22-2015 11:25 AM

I think Harris's toe is ok enough to put him in the slot.

Evil Vito 09-22-2015 11:30 AM

<font color=goldenrod>I'm all for giving Harris some offensive snaps. They gave him a fairly insane amount of money to be a return guy in a league where the opportunity to even return the ball is few and far between.</font>

I wouldn't even mind that. His agent says he's matured, I guess 41 is a good age to mature. Bring him in what could it hurt.

<font color=goldenrod>Maybe Beason will play more than a quarter before getting injured.</font>

Evil Vito 09-22-2015 03:41 PM

<font color=goldenrod>I love Beason btw. When he's healthy he's really fun to watch and in every interview with him he seems like the nicest dude ever.

But he's injured so frequently he's basically the football equivalent of Moises Alou.</font>

Dallas traded a 7th round 2017 pick for Matt Cassel and a 5th round 2017 pick. .

#1-norm-fan 09-22-2015 07:58 PM

Bit steep. I would have been fine with a 7th rounder.

#1-norm-fan 09-22-2015 07:59 PM

Was kinda hoping for Flynn though. He seemed like he best option out there.

#1-norm-fan 09-22-2015 08:03 PM

Oh, I misread that. They're GETTING Buffalo's 7th. So just trading down a couple late rounds for him. That's not that bad.

insane amount of money

Emperor Smeat 09-26-2015 10:14 AM

While 3 teams are currently considering a move to LA, the NFL is rumored to only allow one to get the entire LA market and the other 2 staying in their current location. Main reason would be to not overload the LA market this early with multiple teams and prevent another failed move.

Rams favored to be the one to move if that's the case since the current Chargers-Raiders plans are for both to share the same stadium.

I don't think The Eagles are good. However they still might be good enough to win the NFC East.

Very possible

They can send Adam Gase back to Denver anytime they're ready. His offense worked for Peyton Manning.

How long is Cutler out? Bears have 0 chance of winning a game without him.

Evil Vito 09-30-2015 11:34 AM

<font color=goldenrod>Like...I get it. If they were ever going to be motivated to take a dump on the rest of the league, this is clearly the year for it. And their schedule is incredibly favorable.

But there's a reason it's only happened once. I think you need to go at least 8-0 or something before it becomes a real discussion.</font>

Evil Vito 09-30-2015 11:40 AM

<font color=goldenrod>Wait...what? Saints and Drew Brees agree to a contract restructure, freeing up around $2.5 million in cap space this year but bumping his cap hit next year to about $30 million, highest in the league.

So they decided it was important to save money on this year's cap despite the season basically already being in the toilet (0-3 with 2 division rivals already at 3-0) than it was to just eat the money now and give themselves more flexibility for next year.

Dumb.</font>

Should've signed Landon Donovan instead. He was reportedly interested.

The Eagles offensive line is horrible which has caused Bradford to never look down field.

He's too afraid he's going to get hit to throw the ball.

He wasn't that good in St Louis with a decent line either though. Think ESPN had some stat about him being the worst or 2nd worst QB when it came to blitzes.

Giants look like the favorite for their division. I can't believe I am thinking that either. They should trade for Forte.

Evil Vito 10-05-2015 08:39 AM

<font color=goldenrod>I was very impressed with what I saw from the Giants yesterday. Yes the Bills shot themselves in the foot with a ton of penalties, but the defense actually looked really good.

They'd be 4-0 right now if not for those 4th quarter meltdowns but regardless things have broken the right way for them to pull ahead and build a lead in the division. Need to keep doing what they're doing and avoid the letdown game vs. SF next week.</font>

Evil Vito 10-05-2015 08:41 AM

<font color=goldenrod>also re: Forte, not sure how much of a help he'd be. He'd be an improvement to the current roster certainly, but I think Jennings/Vereen/Williams are a good trio and the fact that they haven't been able to get a whole lot going speaks more to the O-line's lack of run blocking ability than anything else.</font>

road doggy dogg 10-05-2015 09:15 AM

I wasn't watching fully because Lions weren't playing/had a hockey draft/just don't care about football as much, but while casually watching Redzone it seemed like there were a LOT of missed FGs yesterday. Anyone have a total tally of all the missed kicks

Nark Order 10-05-2015 11:32 AM

The 9ers offense is really garbage. Felt really bad for the defense because they held off Rodgers for so long when everybody thought Rodgers was going to torch them for like 75 points.

And now every Packers fan forgets that the 9ers beat them all the time.

Nark Order 10-05-2015 11:34 AM

There's been some weird rules in the past couple of years. The Niners always beat the Packers (until now) despite them for the most part being better. And the Giants always beat the 9ers no matter how bad of a record the Giants have.
