The D was a small bright spot holding BAL to: 73 yards rushing 253 in the air (with a 60+ yard missed assignment) and 13 points. The offense getting in sync will be more on Roman than any single player. Tons of teams don't have a dominant #1 WR. They have solid game-planning. Good teams find a way. And everyone calling for a tank. What exactly are we getting? A new QB? That we can start week 1, bury into the ground with poor gameplanning, and then run out of town by week 13?

have you by any chance watched the new netflix show, Last Chance U? I think it's a great look into the machine that produces these players. They're basically coddled and sheltered and handheld through college and groomed for the pros. They're the first to go to college in their family and they have no support structure outside of the university. From there, they're made millionaires and released into the world. I know you say 'unaccountable' but what if you've never had to BE accountable? you can point to players in good standing if you'd like, but everyone's experience isn't the same. and, disproportionately, poor/lower middle class african american players take the route described above. and then people pretend to be shocked when the marijuana use happens again and again and again and again. or the car racing or drinking or violence.

Eagles trade CB Eric Rowe to Pats
quinnearlysghost88 replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yeah the way he positioned it, I thought I was missing a lot of Pats 1 for 1 trades. Mankins was two years ago. So two this year? That's not being afraid? -

Tyler Dunne on the Chris Borland Effect
quinnearlysghost88 replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
"It is estimated that dementia affects one in 14 people over 65 and one in six over 80." "One of nine people age 65 or older has Alzheimer's, nearly one of three people age 85 or older has the disease." With a life expectancy of 55-60, players aren't living to even see the 1 in 3 over 85 stat. They experiencing those stats at much, much early stages in life. Shocking! you're citing a league website? the same league that just paid out a quarter of a billion dollars to settle one of what will be many concussion lawsuits? yeah, no bias there. also the 'facts' from their life expectancy study were from players in the NFL prior to 1993. it might as well be a completely different game. -

Tyler Dunne on the Chris Borland Effect

We’re told that 1 in 3 NFL players will suffer from Alzheimer’s or dementia at younger ages than their peers; that they’refour times more likely to die from degenerative brain diseases; that 78 percent will be broke or nearly so within two years of retiring; that they may be disproportionately inclined to beat their wives; and that they live, on average, to the age of 55 or 60. It’s enough to make you wonder if banning football would be good for America. --Slate -

Just refuting you saying it doesn't. I'm okay with my choices. I don't buy tickets or nfl Sunday tickets or merch (unless its second-hand throwback stuff on ebay). Just pirate games. -

It is rare to watch a once dominant species go extinct You just spent 600 words telling me that they were NEVER dominant. -
i kind of thought Kyle as well, but I just think this is his last year. He can still contribute.
