NFL Discussion Thread - Hall of Fame Game: August 3rd

[RustyShackleford]

Rob Kraft needs to pay for someone to do that bid for Nandez, and get him out asap.

Aaron probably been playin a ton of basketball and lifting, so you know he is in shape. And he probably join Islam by now, so his diet probably been clean

 

[coltfanb]

Yeah I dont know either.



There is nothing to be happy about after that **** show from everyone besides Luck, Rogers, and Brazill.


Still have a RB who cant hit a hole even if you are directing him with orange cones, as if he was a plane, a offensive line that couldnt push around a peewee football defensive line, and a secondary that gets roasted more than Ninjahood.


Yeah, woohoo AFC South Champs.

List of IR this year: Daniel Herron, Delano Howell, Ahmad Bradshaw, Donald Thomas, Nathan Palmer, Lawrence Sidbury, Brandon McKinney, Reggie Wayne, Vick Ballard, Chris Rainey, Dwayne Allen, Scott Lutrus, Justin Hickman, Dax Swanson, Mario Harvey

Bucs-14 IR’s
Jets-12 IRs
Packers-11 IR’s
Skins-10 IR’s
Seakhawks-5 IR’s (for comparison, not next in line)

This is a quick count, don’t take my word for it. Some websites show more players than others, (One list for the Colts didnt include Wayne for example)

The fact is, our team has been pretty ****** up with these injuries. To be 8-5, AFC South Division Winners, and clinching a home playoff game despite these injuries… pretty damn good.

Packers won the SB with like 18 guys on IR doe.

Having guys fill in and produce is the whole point though.

Also out on IR that year:

Ryan Grant

Nick Barnett

Morgan Burnett

Brad Jones

Mark Tauscher

Starks filled in for Grant

Des Bishop filled in for Barnett

Charlie Peprah filled in for Burnett

etc.

You're citing all the injuries as well as the fact that Indy has no depth behind these guys... Maybe they should be doing a better job of filling that missing depth.

i agree 100% with the lack of depth we have, exactly why im happy we were able to take the afc south and get a home playoff game... this is the nfl anything can happen in january, regular season records dont matter once the playoffs start...

Mike Shanahan's Brilliant Last Act as ******** Coach: Making Everyone Forget He Sucked

You think it’s a coincidence that after more than 11 months of secrecy, the leak came 48 hours after the Texans fired coach Gary Kubiak? Come on. Stop it. Shanahan’s son once worked for the Texans, the Houston roster is a lot better than the team’s 2-11 record, and it’s a place for Mike Shanahan to go somewhere else, probably to retire, before everyone in the NFL realizes just how unexceptional he is, except for his luck.

Bill needs to be giving those dirty looks to Goodell...WTF are defenders supposed to do nowadays. You get fined if you go any where near a guys head; your fault or not.

A lot more guys careers are gonna be ended before it's over

So Gronk also got a concussion on that play to boot

The irony.

No tailgating at MetLife Super Bowl Sunday :x that's so Wack

 

[mr marcus]

No tailgating at MetLife Super Bowl Sunday

that's so Wack

pretty wack but I think it has more to do w/ it being in NYC (or technically NJ even though idc.....I know one of yall will correct me)

 

[DeadsetAce]

No tailgating at MetLife Super Bowl Sunday :x that's so Wack

what in the world? what kind of lame production are they putting on here?

 

[krazy88s]

It's in NJ.

I didn't know folks even tailgated at the Super Bowl. Isn't it more of a corporate thing anyway?

IMO between NJ and NYC there's too many people in the area to just have folks tailgating outside and nothing else.

 

[herbshuttles15]

Tailgating at the Superbowl has been banned since 07

 

[mr marcus]

Tailgating at the Superbowl has been banned since 07

ohh damn.....guess it makes since considering what event it is 

 

[dmxfury]

The CCs are about the atmosphere of football. The SB is about corporate folks

RG3 about to be benched the rest of the season to avoid injury?

I knew it!

He came up in that weird half-curled position dudes get in after head shots

 

[jjs07]

RG3 about to be benched the rest of the season to avoid injury?

Two things...

1. Skins insider:

Shanny going to sit Rob to piss him & Snyder off, & play Cousins to kill his trade value.. Mike is trying to drop a match on gasoline

2. Skins beat reporter:

So it was safe to play Robert Griffin in the snow on a bad field. But it's unsafe to play him in a dome this weekend? Got it.

This is an absolute train wreck....

 

[DeadsetAce]

how is what shannhan is doing even being allowed by the team? why can't he be fired right away again?

 

[MIKE LOWERY]
