Captain Caveman

Thanks!

I haven't heard anything about this with all the other craziness happening this week - has anyone heard if he is expected to play this coming weekend?

Negotiating an Injury Settlement and filing a grievance are 2 very different things. If he really wants an injury settlement, he could probably get one. Then he won't be paid for the rest of the year and will have to hope he catches on somewhere else (risky for a rookie kicker who has shown very little so far.) Filing a grievance would indicate that he wasn't injured at all could be playing right now, but the Bills are trying to stash him away for next year. I don't think that's the case. I disagree. I haven't heard anything to indicate a healthy player being IR'd recently.

You can't use IR to "stash" a healthy player for next year without him counting against the roster limit. You can IR a player who is legitimately injured, even if he would otherwise have come back earlier in the year. Otherwise teams would have a serious challenge in fielding a healthy roster by mid season.

That's not true - lots of players are put on IR with a multi-week injury that is not necessarily season ending. Teams have to make judgement calls like this all the time in order to keep enough healthy players. Now, if he wasn't injured at least a couple of weeks you might have a point.

And you would have a nice little Arena league career to look forward to as well.

We didn't recover it, a Brown came out of the pile with the ball.

See, that's what our coaching staff needs, some real creativity. I think we should totally run the end of the game lateral drill on EVERY kickoff and punt return.

Freeman had almost zero trade value to begin with. It's revenge, pure and simple. Bricks are too heavy.

I think O line (and Guard specifically) is the one place worth making a trade, not necessarily because we're going anywhere this year, but because protecting EJ better now should help him grow into a better QB in the future.

I fully expect tonight's game to come down to mistakes and field position. Don't know that TJ is a guy I trust to play mistake free football doing something he hasn't done before.

One more angle. Keep it up MD!

I was ready to cut him. Now I like him cause he's fat, he made some good blocks, and he plays for the Bills.

Is it Thursday night yet?

If FJ and or CJ can't go Thursday it would be nice to see Frank the Tank get some carries, maybe he'll turn into our own Peyton Hillis.

The NFL would have more to gain by having calls go against the Broncos to have them in more close games, especially on Sunday night. The league does not benefit from a blow out in a nationally televised game. There are aspects of the NFL which are shady. Regular game day officiating is not one of them.

I don't get it.

Sometimes you eat the bear, sometimes, the bear eats you.

Just reinforces the notion that if you want a tough SOB of a son, give him a girl's name.

I agree with the rest of your post, I don't think they were planning on punting, but they did need to make sure they ran out every second, or risk still turning the ball back over to the Ravens for one final play.

I think this is less funny than you.

It seems there is quite a bit else to say, judging from this thread.

It seems like you've left, but in case you're still checking in here I would have two pieces of advice. 1. Be as honest as you can with everyone involved, including yourself. This doesn't mean giving your GF unnecessary details of what happened, it does mean letting her know that you work with the other woman. 2. If it is yours, be a father. When I made that commitment it made me a better and happier person. I believe it has the same effect on most people, although your situation certainly is beginning from a more difficult place than most.

If he's not yet kneeling then a touch does no good (this isn't touch football.)
