Honest question - would Rivers be the first grandfather to play in the NFL?

George Blanda?

I wonder if they regret those 2 first rounders for sauce Gardner lol

They should have regretted it instantly.  It was insane.

 

Beane's decision to keep his powder dry at the trade deadline may have been very wise.  If you overpay for a guy who doesn't work out or gets hurt, or you take a serious injury at a key position, you've given up much more than you could ever have expected to get.

 

(The only exception to this is the Jets.  They're likely to blow these draft picks on busts or a fullback or something stupid.)

I would think they would've called Nick Foles if they're going this route 

Retired..also. Maybe they did call him. Last time he played, he was not good. 

[Urban Achievers]

He’ll lose his AARP benefits and monthly newsletter subscription. Don’t say he wasn’t warned.

What is Bert Jones doing these days?

Bengals only get in by winning their division, Colts don’t hold them back from that. Plus, what are the Bengals doing without Burrow? Nothing. I don’t think it would be a horrible thing for the Bengals to do. 

One more collapse would be the Texans/Chargers.  With the Chargers winning last night, it's the Texans at issue.  Assuming the tiebreakers there inure to the Bengals' benefit. And what if Burrow gets hurt in advance of the last game of the season, with the division on the line?  I'd rather have Flacco than Browning if I'm them.

Yup

Yeah, he was at the desk on SNF pregame.  He wouldn't make a pregame pick, but otherwise prepping for his after football gig.

Whyizzit?...every time I read anything about Philip Rivers, I start humming 'Secret Agent Man'. 🤔

I understand having Flacco over Browning. But what are the Bengals doing in the post season without Burrow? That’s almost a guarantee first round exit. I suppose winning the division is good for a pat on the back. But you’re right, they wouldn’t let go of Flacco, as much as it would be nice for Flacco to have that opportunity.

Holy Hail Mary Batman!!!

According to Schefter, Riley Leonard (the third stringer) is now "week to week" with a PCL strain. When it rains, it pours.

Wow 

 

Why not ask Tom what he's up too LMAO 

Heck ask Luck to come back he's gotta be healed up by now & is younger than Brady but either could probably make a run at it with this team .

What of it’s a one game injury?  Would you let Trunisky walk right now to play for the colts?  I wouldn’t.

I tried for a business card for Flacco, but couldn't cobble it up. 🙁

Brett favre was definitely a grandfather while playing 

George Blanda had grandchildren when he was still an active NFL player.  Maybe Travis Henry too 🤔

Bringing back Rivers is the dumbest move I've seen in a while.  I do not see this being a Flacco type thing.
