    Idk, getting manhandled because you're too small is hard on your body. 

     

    I don't think Darius Leonard is getting manhandled soon... lol

     

    But seriously, it's just all about finding the balance. He felt he was on the heavier side of the balance, which is legitimate because of his ankle issue, and felt he needed to cut down on his weight. Now if he gets manhandled, then he'll gain more weight, but until that happens, he should maintain this weight

  2. Sucks that we lost the Chargers game, but that was a game I slated us to lose even before Andrew Luck retired. But we gotta win this one. Absolutely have to. 

     

    If we win this, we'll have an early lead on the division, something that we really need. 

     

    And I think we can. They may have looked pretty good last week, but at the end of the day, they're the Titans. We almost beat the Chargers, and that was with several things unusually wrong or something the league messed up, like the Autry penalty, the Ebron TD, the Turay hold(s), the Vinny misses. I am confident that we can beat these Titans. The only thing is that we gotta fix our run D.

     

    That's how we've been beating them. We shut down the run game, and things get a lot easier from there if the ball is in Mariota's hands. But it's gonna be a long day if we can't stop Derrick Henry...

    I don't have any compelling reason to believe her.  I don't subscribe to the notion that I need to believe the accuser, or any accuser, because of "what it might say"  about all other future rape accusations by anybody.

     

    The proper avenue is to accuse AB in front of the police.  That's what makes it an accusation.

     

    If she is only making the statement to the media, and never told the police,  she is basically making a statement to everyone on the planet that doesn't matter.  Doing so does not require me to think of the statement as a legitimate accusation. 

     

    Statements communicated in this manner actually begin to make AB look like a sympathetic figure.

     

    On the flip side, I don't automatically not believe her either. The position of an allegation should be neutrality, not one way or the other

    She doesn't want to file criminal charges but wants to go for the $$ instead? Yeah that's a red flag right there.

     

    AB is a piece of **** but this whole thing doesn't seem right.

    I don't exactly know, but maybe statue of limitations comes into play here. It was in college, so that's a long time ago

    Too complicated. Keep it stupid simple. Each team gets 1 possession guaranteed. That way if the first one scores , the other gets a chance, if neither team scores on their first possession, goes to sudden death and the next point wins. 

     

    Completely agree. The NFL is becoming more offense-driven. The rules have favored the offense more and more. Touchdowns are being scored at record rates. All this means that OT games are being decided more and more by the coin than by the actual relative offensive prowess of the team. They need to give both teams a chance in today's offensive-driven NFL

    They did trade up for him in the 4th round, showing they like the guy a lot.... but still, he's a 4th rounder.

     

    Geathers has not been able to stay healthy, Hooker has his own injury concerns, Farley was coming off season ending injury, Odum has shown spurts but is largely unproven, and we didn't really have other reliable options on our roster during the time of the draft at the S position.

     

    I think after addressing other glaring concerns prior to drafting Willis, they probably thought this guy can come in and provide depth and ST help with the possibility of taking over for Geathers in a year or 2 if Geathers got hurt again or didn't play very well... I don't think the plan was for a 4th rounder to come in and beat our a team Captain on day 1... unfortunately, Geathers just didn't play very well yesterday.  I wasn't in the gameplanning sessions, so I'm not sure if they knew all along that Willis was going to play that much, but my hunch would be he got more time than expected due to Geathers having an off day.

     

    Nah, they traded up for him. That shows they have a plan for him. I think he'll become our "Geathers" of the future. Ballard doesn't just waste 4th round picks. like that. They had a plan

    Based on initial impression, I thought Rock Ya-Sin and Khari Willis looked fine. It was Malik Hooker and Clayton Geathers that had trouble with tackling. 

     

    I thought Malik did fine tackling

    It would be complete anywhere else on the field besides the sidelines. Ball never hit the ground. It was only incomplete because he didn’t have control until he was out of bounds. Had he stayed in bounds then that is a complete pass 100/100 

     

    I think he had control, and then just, well, didn't exactly lose it, but bobbled it while going out of bounds

  9. IMO, it's a catch. He catches it, gets 2 feet in, and his elbow hits the ground, all while not bobbling it. It's only when his back hits the ground that he bobbles it, but the play should be over at that point. 

     

    It's weird to me that runners just have to "break the plane", and can let go of the ball immediately after it, but receivers have to hold on to the ball for like 5 seconds before it's considered a catch.

    prolly since his team was in the playoffs last year when JB hasn't done a damn thing yet.

     

    the experts ranked him ahead for a reason so glad you homer fans dont run things dear god

     

    All hail the all-knowing experts!!

    Mitch second year passing percentage was 66.6% and a rating of 95.9 % Brissett has not done anything to be better than Mitch. That’s not a knock on Brissett either 

     

    I'm not saying Brissett has been better than Mitch. I'm saying he is better and will be better than Mitch

    I'm not a fan of his but you cant just say an unknown is better than someone with experience after 1 game 

     

    But seriously though, why can't I? He hasn't proven much to me. If I think Brissett is better on paper, then I think Brissett is better. Otherwise by that logic, it would be completely unreasonable to say that Kyler Murray, or some other unproved but talented QB, will be better than Ryan Leaf. It's not about how good they were, or how good they've proven to be, it's about how good you think they will be.

    Thought about it and in a very partisan fashion put together my list for this year:

    1) Mahomes

    2) Brees

    3) Ryan (underrated by many)

    4) Wilson

    5) Wentz

    6) Rodgers

    7) Roethslesberger

    8) Mayfield

    9) Goff

    10) Rivers

    11) Brady

    12) Prescott

    13) Watson

    14) Cousins

    15) Carr

    16) Flacco

    17) Stafford

    18) Brissett

    19) Foles

    20) Trubisky 

    21) Garoppolo 

    22) Darnold

    23) Newton

    24) Jackson

    25) Mariota

    26) Manning

    27) Fitzpatrick

    28) Winston

    29) Murray

    30) Dalton

    31) Allen

    32) Keenum

     

    Cam is way too low. Trubisky, Flacco, nowhere near him. Jameis Winston will also improve. I see Bruce Arians' style really fitting with him. Goff, Carr, Flacco, Stafford too high. The Carr and Stafford ones are more nitpicks.

     

    I could nitpick with the list a little more here and there, but overall pretty good

    I think they over-achieved last year.  Also, it might take a couple weeks to get comfortable since they havent played much together this year added to new coaching philosophy.

      It wouldnt surprise me.'

    Jacoby has also had a habit of holding onto the ball too long which could also create an appearance of regression.

      Ol play is like a synchronized dance.  It takes practice and playing TOGETHER to build and maintain that.

     

    He also held on to the ball cause of Pagano's stupidly vertical offense though, so there's that. I'm not as worried about that factor. 

     

    Overall, they played together last year. They've had the whole offseason together. Sure, it's possible that this could be a down year, but all in all, O line is the least of my concerns after these rough few weeks...

    I'm over this already, I'm excited to see if what both Brissett and Kelly

    can do in Reich's system. Both men have been cleared by Brian Decker's

    check list, so no one knows if Luck has what it takes to pass Decker's 

    testing system, since he was both signed and resigned by Grigson.

     

     

     

     

     

    You're kidding, right............. you're not seriously wondering if Luck would pass a testing system

    Like all Colts fans, I am ready to move on, and give Brisket a chance to success

     

    Like most,

    I was disappointed with Luck's decision to retire

     

    But

     

    I wonder if at least SOME of the decision was based on lingering effects of the shoulder

     

    If you watch the 2nd half of the first playoff game, then the Chiefs game, and.... then the Pro Bowl...

     

    Luck's throws were without his normal velocity in all 3 games. It was very noticable

     

    He wasnt the same QB

     

    I wonder if he was never going to be able to handle a full season anyway..........

     

     

     

    I think it's kind of cherry picking to pick a non-serious game, a game which he played like crap, and then a meh second half. I don't think he miraculously got the shoulder injury again after the 1st half of the Texans playoff game.

    The problem with this isn't Dak, it was Philly paying Wentz what they did. Dak has been healthy, and productive, and I don't blame him for using Wentz as "the measuring stick" for getting paid. Sure, it puts Dallas in a rough spot paying Dak that much but that's where teams are now with paying franchise QB's, and one's that aren't top-5. I think Irsay was right when he said Luck was probably walking away from ~500M by retiring. 

     

     

    Well, I think Wentz is way better than Dak. Dak has been healthy, but has not reached the heights Wentz has. The thing is once Philly paid Wentz that much, The Cowboys kinda have to pay Dak a little more
