Captain Caveman

Well now in the next "why did we lose (karma reasons only)" I'm pointing directly at you Italian Bills.

It scratches a very specific itch, but it's the kind of itch you don't want to be dealing with too often

It's not that we're not bothered, it's that we understand that even the best teams rarely go undefeated, and we still feel like we are one of the best teams.

And yet, just about every team does this just about every year. The Chiefs lost badly to the Colts (and barely escaped with a win last night against Tenessee.) As Dick Jauron used to say (I can only laugh about it now that we're not going 5-11) it's hard to win in the NFL.

It was pretty well established that ownership mandated that Ryan doesn't play again (I think they're on the hook for his contract next year if he were to be injured) and they wanted to see if Ehlinger is worth giving a shot

My guess is they didn't trust him to develop Ehlinger and thought he might be doing more harm than good

I hope you started early enough to miss that 2nd half

Josh knows how to play the game. With that said, the number of defensive holding and pass interference calls against other teams when our offense is on the field is unbelievably low (and has been for a couple years at least) and we should take what we can get.

Why would you think Colinsworth has any say? He's an employee, if the network thinks they can make more $ with this game Chris doesn't get a say

I saw some speculation game that the Vikings game may get flexed (two teams with only one loss, Diggs revenge game, etc…) I think the league would need to announce it by tomorrow. What do you think, will it be flexed?

I did not expect to have the stadium renderings in before my Madden code

This article is clearly fake

I heard it's because he doesn't wear his wedding ring when he plays

It could also be that they want to hold off on any further agreements / publicity related to this until after the election.

yeah

My first fantasy football team was name The Captain Cavemans (probably around 2001?) because it made me chuckle, when I signed up here back in the mid 2000s it just seemed like a good fit.

Threads like these really make me wish we had gotten our free Madden codes by now... On-topic, I think it would be a tough sell to the NFLPA, and the owners would probably have to give something up to get it. Additionally, a big part of why the current rookie pay system was put in place was to prevent contract hold outs (or more precisely huge contracts for unproven rookies to avoid those holdouts) - I could see players holding out to avoid this.

I assume his college coaching must have been dreadful

My guess is it just got too confusing having a Bryce Hall and Breece Hall on the same team

And not only that, precludes you from flying but not from playing in a football game?

or lose / lose

I was very relieved that he won't be playing against us, not for any competitive reasons (well mostly) but because that's the one game on the schedule that looks like it will work to take my son to.
