Won't matter. Their backup will become the 2nd coming of Ogden.

Maybe, but if our edge guys play like they did this week the Titans are in trouble. If we pressure Mariota like we did Baker they will struggle. Baker is great at extending plays but Mariota isn’t and is one of the worst QBs in the NFL when throwing on the run. Look for the defense to have a big day even if Lewan plays. Now our offense might be a different story.

Yesterday is where we missed T-Will because he looks to be the fastest on the front-line. I think he would've gotten Baker a couple of times that he managed to escape (FUCK THAT MISSED HOLDING CALL IN THEIR ENDZONE BTW). As for our offense, how Flacco himself does on the first drive will determine how well our offense performs for the remainder of the game. I think he started off 0/3 or something like that on the first drive.

NFL flexes Bengals-Chiefs in Week 7 to Sunday Night. This replaces Rams-49ers which now is scheduled for 4:25pm.

So despite how terrible the officiating is, the NFL will go to great lengths to defend the officials from criticism. They will come up with excuses to defend stupid BS penalties, and now they are giving Mike Tomlin a $25,000 fine for criticizing the officiating post game publicly and basically going down the route of taking away free speech but that's for the political thread.

The Cardinals are looking to deal 2014 first round pick LB/S Deone Bucannon who doesn't fit the new scheme in Arizona, and another LB to keep an eye on is 2017 first round pick Hassan Reddick who lost the starting job to journeyman Gerald Hodges as he failed to grasp the new defensive scheme.

crazy - they're a bad team and they're getting rid of their best players because they dont fit the defensive scheme of a new head coach who looks like he's lost - josh rosen looks like he fell into the worst possible situation because the rookie headcoach likely gets more than a year to prove himself and that might stymie his development and on top of that they have to completely rebuild the defence

...while wasting possibly the last season of the HoF career of their WR.

1st amendment only applies to the government limiting your speech, your boss is free to limit it all he wants.

Tomlin HAD to know a fine was coming. Every sport fines you for smack talking the refs so of course he was fined.

If they had kept Arians, got Bradford and drafted Rosen then they would be in a lot better shape.

This happened in Australia a few years ago, so like you say a sport penalising people for publicly criticising the refs. I'd like to see a coach blame "Voldemorts" for a loss though.
