  1. Past hour
  2. McBeane are the coach and GM that drafted Josh, the only coach and GM that Josh has ever known in the NFL. It's pure fantasy-land to think that he's been deciding whether they stay or go all these years. I do agree, though, that this may come up in the future. Once Josh is 33 years old and still ringless thanks to McBeane, he might ask for changes and a new voice in the locker room / front office.
  3. It's not too negative, just silly.
  4. Kansas City Chiefs has a high chance of being 2-4 after Sunday.
  5. Today
  6. Pretty much unanimous that most want the “wing and a prayer” play to stay as is. Definitive drama the league likes. A half the distance penalty on anything over 30 yards be a nice reward. Anything under 15, but traditional it’s not.
  7. I didn't say that it isn't a thing that teams do. Just that it's not something we're doing in this instance. Even if you don't count Bass and Johnston (as their IR's necessitate replacements who can't be cut unless they're coming back), there were still 4 IR'ed players before Sanders and Hamlin today. Meaning 4 people who are essentially placeholders on the roster, 3 of which wouldn't have been on it if Hairston, Hoecht, and Ogunjobi were available. And that doesn't even take into account someone like Brandon Codrington, who is still on the roster but doesn't have a role anymore and is easily moved on. Or players who could potentially get long term injured this week against the Falcons. All this to say that voluntarily moving Sanders and Hamlin off the active roster wasn't necessary. And with Sanders in particular, you wouldn't do that unless you had to. Getting the guys we need to get on was a cake walk before today. So it doesn't make sense that they'd IR Sanders and Hamlin for them. Especially now when we can't even dress any of them. People were saying the same thing about us IR'ing Strong last week. As if we'd voluntarily put ourselves in the position we were in against the Pats, where we had no choice but to stick with him while he was playing maybe the worst game of his life, all the while with Hairston not even close to returning.
  8. Jaxson Dart will absolutely save Daboll’s job this season. It’s just unfortunate they have Russ as long as they did and that Nabers was hurt wasting away with Russ.
  9. If you watch the league you’ll see lots of other players that your favorite team could have drafted. Every week.
  10. Yep…just get rid of it. It is not, and never has been, a football play.
  11. I would imagine the feeling is similar in Baltimore and Cincinnati…maybe worse.
  12. While I agree that the Sanders situation seems legit, I must disagree that NFL teams don't engage in "'clever' roster manipulation." There are ways of red-shirting young players without subjecting them to waiver wires or poaching, if they play along. There are injuries that don't necessarily require immediate surgery, so players/teams can choose the rehab route to keep a season alive, but those same injuries could also be candidates for immediate surgery in order to prioritize long term recovery which then entails missing most or all of the current season. Injury settlements stem from occasions when teams and players disagree about how best to manage injuries in the short term, with the teams usually shelving a guy (with eyes on overall roster management) who feels like he can get back in the fold faster. Like so many things in football, it's not black and white much of the time. The pending returns of IR'd and suspended players is undoubtedly influencing some of the team's personnel decisions, but not necessarily in some nefarious way. It's just part of the in-season roster management reality.
  13. Bills 34-24.. Palmer and Cook lead the O.. Benford with a pick and the missing #50 makes some plays.
  14. I'm sure that's what a lot of people want. But it wouldn't remotely shock me to see them bring him back into camp next year as depth, just like this year. Theoretically, Ogunjobi comes in for Sanders after this week. Hairston will eventually replace the spot lost by Strong. Poyer could replace Hamlin's spot. So there is depth where we hopefully won't lose much. But we'd preferably be in a spot where we haven't already had 2 CB's, 2 DT's, and a Safety from what should have been our 53 on IR by Week 6. Not to mention LB's like Milano and Williams coming in and out of the lineup.
  15. Wow are you serious? She’s a very respected actress and certainly fits the part. She was in the biggest movie of the summer. I’m going to assume he doesn’t tell her what to wear. But maybe you have some inside information?
  16. Adios Damar. Good luck in what’s next.
  17. More insanity by the king quack Trump put in charge of health care.
  18. Strangely enough, I find the half-shade on the field to be aesthetically pleasing.
  19. Milwaukee vs Seattle would be a good WS.
  20. I can't believe that this is the actress that plays Maeve...the niece of the guy who robbed the biker gang and kidnapped the kid!! What a transformation.....great acting!!
