downhill from here >>> nfl 2017/18 weeks 10 thru 17 thread

mcadon't

xp apparently. but i will always think on him fondly for fucking up eli's / the manning streak

so, Eli to the Broncos next year?

i find it hard to believe that mcadoo benched eli on his own without consulting his gm/ownership

idk he got fired right after!

i guess well know if eli is starting again next week

would love to think they forced it on him and then fired him for it. somehow extremely plausible!

ha that wld be good too

also...eli to denver? oh man, if eli won a superbowl with denver specifically to break the tie with peyton it would all have been worth it

commas after specifically and peyton

im here for rubbernecking bronco fan excitement over acquiring a new manning boy

the vikings schedule has been so hard saints>lions>falcon>panthers next week

no that's wrong, skins not saints saints were earlier

making fun of ben mcadoo owned. i will miss the big weird guy with awful hair.

he's no Tomsula, but still. all the best ones get canned.

gronk out for one game. feels like the correct call. schef saying gronk will appeal, which would not be the correct call.

gronks roid rage finally boiled over

if his appeal is that he is a very simple minded man and was short circuited by intense confusion at his treatment by officials then i guess i would be on board

obvs none of this is scientific, but giving talib/crabtree two (initially) and gronk one is silly. not to mention the w33d suspensions

NFL suspensions are a joke. I think they just spin a wheel.

league priorities when it comes to player discipline prob couldn't be more fucked up

Gronk deserves to be out longer than a game. That hit was really rough and really unnecessary.

one game is a big suspension imo

for him that's close to 500k

NHL suspensions are messed up because they vary by injury -- slash someone and break a bone, you get suspended; slash someone and give them a bruise, everyone laughs

but gronk actually concussed the dude

yea you'd think that would be worse than the Talib fight, Gronk completely blindsided the dude

oh i didnt know he got a concussion. kick him out for the season them imo.

this is just a shitty move

leading with the elbow into the back of his head...damn. i mean white is very very lucky (and gronk is lucky to be very very white tbqf.)

i mean considering everything we know about this type of injury, what the actual fuck at 1 game, i can only imagine it's subconscious "great white hope funtimes 69 guy" BS that allowed that.

Yeah, he did some kind of WWE move, clocking him in the back of the head with his robo-brace. It's one of the worst hits I've seen.

nice footwork tho

it does look very goonish

the leagues awful track record on these issues notwithstanding, i am fine with talib/crabtree getting more games than gronk.

tho i am also open to the idea that they all deserved more

gronk shdve gotten more than one game that was a very bad very late hit, amongst the worst in the modern safety conscious era

talib i guess got one game for each chain he snatched, crabtree got dinged cause people seem to generally dislike him

crabtree kind of strangled talib on the sideline and threw a punch that missed, so he did do something at least. i can understand him getting ejected, hard to untangle those on the spot, but he should never have been suspended. talib 2nd time chain snatching prob had to get a suspension. problem with suspension as a tool in the nfl of course is the difficulty of graduating its use, you only get 1/16th blocks. i don't think talib should've been suspended one eighth his whole season and i don't think gronk should've either.

fuck gronk imo

fuck the bills, too, though bc they suck

sad times when even horseshoe is scorning the twin institutions of western ny state

gronk was a hero to most but he never meant shit to me

hi Roberto Spiralli!

HI :D

I still love the Bills, you understand; I just hate them

even tho the qb merry-go-round has been a shambles, i think they might at least have a good coach finally. and if white is still alive he looks really good.

what happened to shazier? scared to check the footage. taken to hospital w back injury.

Steve young says he clearly couldn't move his lower body.

oh no

yeah it looked bad, play was stopped for quite a while

#22 on that LeVeon Bell run, wtf was that
