  1. He has a grade 2 sprain, TT is not running around at practice today-- no way. Seriously?
  2. There are degrees of MCL sprains, and many of the reports assumed it was a grade 2 or grade 3 sprain when it seems to be a mild grade one sprain. A grade one sprain is 1-2 weeks, not "multiple" games and a "bad injury" as reported. Bottom line, I disagree, the reporting on this has been horrible.
  3. The media today truly sucks. Somebody tweets something based on half-baked information, and then it is re-reported as "fact" over and over and thus it becomes "true." Then when it turns out TT has-- as it seemed based on Sunday-- a relatively mild sprain and might miss a game if any, it is viewed with great doubt. Then because the media reported a "bad injury" as fact, based on the process just described, the new likely true state of affairs is just a "smokescreen" to fool the Bengals. What BS. A few try to do real work-- like the unlikely Sal at WGR in this instance-- but the journalism profession today by and large is just a bunch of lazy folks who know nothing.
  4. Exactly. And let's not overlook the likelihood for improvement. We have all new coaches and schemes, and a QB that has started 4-5 games. It takes time to get this all down. Next year you'll see quotes about "how much farther along we are now with the system than a year ago-- night and day." So while the team that played yesterday does not look like a contender, if they can hang in and get to the bye at 4-3, given the weak state of the AFC and likely improvement as players get more comfortable, a playoff spot seems plausible, and maybe likely.
  5. I am not saying the Bills will win, but the Bengals are still the Bengals. Buffalo was about pick against NE, and while Buffalo's star may have dimmed since then, the Bengals are not NE from the bettor's perspective. So I suspect the spread will be quite small, with the Bills at home.
  6. No way. At home, Bills will be small underdogs at most... 1-3 points.
  7. I would agree. Plan is clear-- make it possible to win with-- hopefully-- average QB play and make it easy as possible for the QB to perform adequately. The O-line is the biggest piece left, try to make it well above average. If they can do that, then EJ or some mediocre vet-- Sanchez, Locker-- may give us the SF/KC/Alex Smith model. Another weapon in TE would not hurt either. Good thoughts... CD
  8. As it would be with a first rounder.
  9. This is the only interesting thing here. Pegula would not extend anyone.
  10. Your point is so subtle that its meaning eludes me.
  11. And here's the thing, that view is supported by the simple logic that the Pats-- or anyone-- don't get caught every time they cheat, or they'd stop cheating. Like in baseball, if you are not successful stealing 75-80% of the time, you should stop stealing because it hurts you more than helps. So one must assume in the aggregate that cheating pays off overall for the Patriots, and when they get caught it is simply the cost of doing business-- or in this case cheating. It defies reason that they are only cheating when they get caught. It must be just the tip of the iceberg.
  12. Right, but his acclaim and success were a total fraud. But for the cheating no one likely would have ever known who LA was. Did a washed up Cleveland coach and 6th round pick do what was needed to become famous. Would we have ever heard of them otherwise? Just asking?
  13. True. But the consistent performances over the years defying all odds are eerily similar between LA and the Pats. I am not saying Pats dope, but when you do things that seem impossible to do over 15 years and then you see all this cheating, is there not even something more fundamental going on here?
  14. It is starting to look like it. When something is too good to be true it probably is. What else do they do?
  15. Yes, it is like a corked bat in baseball.
  16. No, apparently not. Each team provides its own balls for offense that they maintain control over. I did not know that until this morning.
  17. Fire Chan is Cutler's mom. So take everything from that perspective and it makes sense. That is absolutely untrue and cannot be proven according to Fire Chan.
  18. Exactly. Like Cutler is an a-hole.
  19. Wow, you are amazing-- it's like proving to you water is wet. Are you Cutler's mom?
  20. OK... that's the problem now days, everyone feels entitled to their own facts. Hard to have a meaningful discussion. But if Cutler had Flacco's drive, determination leadership skills and personality, then I would agree you might be on to something.
  21. Why do you want to like a guy who is widely despised? I mean why do you rationalize this?
  22. I don't know how to link. But if you google Jay Cutler attitude or Jay Cutler arrogance you'll find everything you need. Sorry about my technological limitations.
