I don't disagree that he should ha've been suspended 4 games under the personal conduct policy. Just if that was the outcome, it should have happen in June, not now after all the media problems the NFL is facing. Deciding to let the legal process play out 3 months ago, and then changing your position on a whim without anything changing in terms of the facts of the case or Hardy's legal status, seems unfair. I think at some point, the NFLPA does have to stand up for its clients. Otherwise, what's the point of them even existing?

The story is that Baltimore called him to tell him he was their next pick, but we jumped over them to get him.
Oh yea I know. Wait till that rookie deal is up lol.

I figure if anything it should be a close game, will be a fun one. Going 0-3 is not looking good!
edit: That first Sproles gif has to be sped up. Has to be!
Instead of a switch Teddy can choose the Olineman to block for him.

I can't wait to make Browns fans sad.

:jnc at him using Kelce as a human shield in that first gif.
Philip Rivers am cry.

lets go jets / browns
Its depends on the refs, not the players.
I'm more shocked at the Raiders stat
Their old man brigade doesn't have the hustle required to commit penalties anymore.

Eli never should have become a football player and just should have become an actor.
It would've been better for everybody.

Soldner not getting 2 penalties on the same play would be a nice start. The Vikings game should have been far more lopsided but they kept committing preventable mistakes vs a bunch of PI calls or something.

Pats and Raiders?
Whelp won't be getting that game locally for sure. Hope the Hawks win though.

I believe that lovie is a great coach. I just feel like injuries and offensive playcalling may be our doom

That's what I was looking for.
I just don't see any unbeaten teams this year. Lots of sloppy football all around. I'm thinking 8-8 team might win an Owl this year so Green Bay should have a chance!
Rumor is that Lovie has told his team to be like the Wii U
It really is. Those are some fast fat people.

So football isnt over yet? Can you guys make sure....i really think it's over....
Edit: great job dutch, for a pats fan at least

What about anything in Lovie Smith's 10+ year head coaching career makes you optimistic that the offensive playcalling will ever get any better?
The guys at FO saw this coming, even with the Bucs "weapons" on offense:

The Revolution is real. Chip has invented an offense that can put up huge numbers even with terrible QB play. Foles has been somewhere between terrible and average in every quarter of every game so far, and they still lead the league in yards and points. It is nuts to watch, if they had a good QB they could score 60 a game easy.
Truly. Seems pretty clear that that offensive line and McCoy would be worthless in any other system.
It's also worth nothing that LaFell has 0 catches in 2 games. Also, Munnerlyn and Mitchell have looked like ass for their respective teams. Those are the players everyone buried the Panthers for losing.
Don't forget Sproles.

Good thing we can test that, Shady and that OL played in Reid's system for multiple seasons and in fact did not come anywhere close to what they are doing now. The crazy thing is Shady hasn't even gone off yet this year. Man if Shady has a huge game and Foles just plays at a C level look the fuck out.
I have yet to hear a compelling case for the insane emphasis QBR and FO put on sacks when ratings QB's.
Foles DYAR of 147 compared to Rodgers' DYAR of 120.
lol in his first three years with Reid the McCoy Eagles were top 5 in points scored every season. In 2010 and 2011 they were 2nd and 4th in total yards. The 2010 offense was better than the 2013 offense, relative to the rest of the league.

You fanbases without an Owl are nuts sometimes.

Yeah, the whole "dropping 34 unanswered on the Jags" looks a lot less impressive now that Kirk fucking Cousins just dropped 41 points on them.

The whole point is the Eagles are doing it with poor QB play this year. In 2010 Vick had a monster year.
According to Football Outsiders Tom Brady and Jay Cutler had essentially identical impacts on their respective games.
Football number crunching is broken.

I thought the whole point was to score points and revolutionize football? My point is that wow they are a great offense, just like when Reid had these guys.
