Saying people will still consume the product, they just flip games and watch red zone or just keep an eye on fantasy football, etc, but no one is just watching football anymore because 1/4 of the league is boring as hell to watch, and officials are deciding games in a negative way to support/promote superstars.. The argument is super valid, and makes me feel justified in my bitching the last 5+ years, but my biggest concern is that the nfl is headed towards being the NBA. fixed/rigged for superstar regular season to push ratings in the post season.. can you imagine a jacksonville vs indianapolis playoff game? ratings would be in the toilet, and the game probably wouldnt even sell out... Hot Damn, Go...you might just become a rifleman in my beloved Corps! I thought I was the only one who had been seeing the NBA morph over the years.

No one expected them to just compete with the Pats so why should I think they even have the slightest chance to beat the Browns? What? Seriously?

Step back from the ledge my man. I'm just comparing because they one of the only teams that both have played.

RhodeIslandFan Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 give or take.. even the same OC would add or subtract a thing or two..and dont get me wrong that stupid ass formation is so fucking stupid.... but the qb was drafted with an offense scheme in mind by gruden, hue knew he has 1-2 years if he looked good he could get back to fat paying HC gigs, so he kept it as well, hue just had the luxury of th best and healthiest supporting cast. the window is closing quickly and the open window has been wasted. the defense is aging and losing peices, the offense is losing peices and health and youth(not as fast as defense obviously). all because of one single limitation... marvin has no motivation to make that change, making the palyoffs and losing is still making the playoffs, and on a national stage, making the playoffs in cincinnati is like winning the superbowl every year compared to the teams history. its destroying our run game, the short safe conservative pussy ball absolutely kills the run game, same thing is happening here in denver with trevor at QB. i know he lit us up, but he hasnt lit up anyone else.

I totally agree with your QB comment. I've sarcastically called Dalton the second coming of Alex smith. All he does is dink and dunk 75% of his games. He refuses to risk throwing deep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|SF2| Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 The games are all the same. Same formations, same plays, utterly predictable.

Le Tigre Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 And...right on cue: Benny throwing in practice (for what...it's a bye week). Looks to getting ready to start against the Rats in Week 9. Willis Reed returns to save the day! Like this wasn't NFL drama predictable. Clear the decks...the Favored Ones return!

Le Tigre Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 A torn meniscus does not "shoot" a knee, unfortunately in this case. He'll put on the same brace he had on last year, and heroically--battered and bruised--lead the Favored Ones to victory. Like I said, right on the NFL's cue.

Torn Meniscus could be a while or could be a short time. Could be another reason to hold a candle light vigil for Ben. Guess we'll just have to change the people who write the script.

Their not going to risk their franchise quarterback. We need to seize this opportunity and win in London. Apparently no team has gone on to the playoffs that has won in London. We have a shot at first place with a win. Washingtons big tight end has been activated and that running back is a beast. It's Time for our defense to finally show up and stop the running game.

I told you so, but I couldn't resist. Nope Godzilla ain't coming back for the rat birds, and if he does it's in limited capacity. Bengals are the only team in week 8 with a healthy 53 man rooster.
