The NFL Thread

[Machado]

Dan Snyder has enough $$ for a private jet, but he can't afford adequate field turf to protect the players? What a moron!!

Most players prefer grass to field turf.

Maybe
Maybe not

I think all players prefers not to tear up their knee.

3 torn up knees in 1 calendar year at the Skins home field seems to be
a cause for concern.

[Crazy Levi]

Come on machado.

I mean, yeah, three bad knees in a year is bad. I guess. Is there any evidence it's the turf's fault?

And how does this stack up to other nfl fields? Im sure you have data on hand as pertains to nfl fields and injuries, right?

No data available. Solely the data from the Skins field

If I were a Skins fan, I would be very upset with the field conditions over the weekend. Especially since the franchise player was a victim of the poor playing conditions.

Mosh Girl would be a nice added touch to that photo.

The Texans and Reliant Stadium have been researching this the past few years. Their players prefer grass, but they don't want it torn up by other games, so Reliant Stadium has purchased field turf that they bring in for College and high school games. I'm not speculating Machado. There have been a zillion articles on the subject locally. ETA: I haven't watched many Skins games, but I was watching when RG3 fucked up his knee the first time. The playing surface had nothing to do with that injury.

I believe you and I am not pointing fingers at anybody here.

Puzzling to think the Skins would jeopardize the situation with RGIII and his bad knee with inferior field turf over the weekend.

Seemed like a recipe for disaster on that day.
Kid won't leave the field.
Coach won't remove kid from the field
Conditions of field grow increasingly worse with every play
Kid injures knee again while slipping on torn up turf.

Rob Parker has been fired from ESPN.

Rob Parker has been fired from ESPN.

That'll be a relief for neversurrender. All is right with the world and racial politics.

Also, rob Ryan is fired. He's a shitty coordinator and had it coming.

Rob Parker has been fired from ESPN.

RG3 cornball brother > Rob Parker unemployed brother.

Last year, Levy and others spent the entire season ridiculing and mocking Peyton Manning's injury and the Colts situation. Now that the tables have turned, how does it feel?

Redskins= 1-15 next year.

Greggie, kindly stay the fuck off the Broncos' bandwagon. No trolling cunts allowed.

Oh, fuck off. Denver was a pathetic franchise before Peyton Manning landed in their laps. They'll continue to be a pathetic franchise the day he leaves the team. Peyton Manning will be inducted into the Hall of Fame as a COLT and will always be remembered as such. Enjoy your temporary success.

[poizond13]

According to Chris Mortensen of ESPN, Griffin will undergo “total reconstruction” surgery early Wednesday morning to repair complete tears to his ACL and LCL.

Who knew the Luck vs Griffin debate would be settled so soon? I wish him a speedy and full recovery, I'm just glad my team didn't draft him.

I don't care for the Bronco's, but Teblow took them to the playoffs last year before Manning bailed on Indy and have won TWO Super Bowls and six AFC Championships. The team also leads the league with only six losing seasons during a 35-year span between now and their first Super Bowl appearance in 1977.. Hardly a "pathetic" franchise, Greggles..

[Crazy Levi]

Redskins= 1-15 next year.

Getting an early start on the 2013 MARK MY WORDS thread?

Care to make another sig bet?



Regarding the Washington Redskins:

Quite obviously, we have troubles today we did not have yesterday. At the same time, we had troubles yesterday that we do not have today.

I am upbeat and enthusiastic about the Washington Redskins' 2013 season. I am optimistic that whichever of our dynamic 2nd-year quarterbacks starts next season [and ESPN is saying RG3 could be ready for season opener], we will be in the mix to repeat as NFC East Champions.

This is a young team stocked with talent. This is a team coming off a thrilling, successful season that has re-energized the area, the organization, and the fanbase.

This is not a team that is going to lose its star quarterback and go 2-14. This is not a team that is built around one person. This is a team built to win now, and into the future, that has proven that injuries to star players do not have to become an impediment to winning the division title.

This is a team with no Curtis Painters on it's roster, and no intention of tanking the upcoming season or falling apart like a cheap suit, regardless of whatever obstacles may be in the way.

These are the Washington Redskins - a proud franchise with a storied history that is revitalized, and poised to be a power in the division and the NFC for years to come.

Now, on to your shameful and shameless bandwagon jumping.

If I wasn't familiar with who is behind it, I'd be shocked and disgusted with the speed and enthusiasm that has accompanied your almost instantaneous lips to ball sack transfer to the Denver Broncos.

I find it almost hard to believe that coming off a brutal and complete playoff loss - a humiliation where your golden boy QB posted a 27 QB rating, and turned the ball over multiple times - JUST LIKE EVERYONE PREDICTED - and was outplayed by a fellow rookie with ONE operating leg - you could so quickly cast aside your old team and latch on to the nuts of a new one.

It's one thing to support your favorite player. It's another completely to so quickly shed your undying fanboyism and gayness for one team, and go completely all-in for another.

I guess if you don't have your lips firmly wrapped around a set of hairy balls, you simply aren't alive.

Nobody is surprised with your pathetic and desperate move to the taint of the Denver Broncos - as we all saw it coming. And what happens if Peyton Manning - as he has done so many times before - falters in the playoffs? Whose balls will you taste next? Matt Ryan's? Tom Brady?

We wait with baited breath. For truly, the future is wide open as you eternally swing from sack to sack. It's as sure as the seasons.

Thanks, Lumi. I'm trying to figure out when Indy was relevant pre-Manning...

Yeah, never.

Reports are RGIII's recovery time will be 6-8 months.
Seems like a quick turnaround, but anything can happen. My guess is the team will go slowly with his recovery and not push the kid to be ready when the reg. season begins.

Actually, the debate has been settled and right now, Wilson is winning.

A. Luck is no longer in the conversation.

Plus, whatever has happened in the playoffs has nothing to do with the ROY award.

This.

Rookie of the Year is still between RG3, Wilson, and Alfred Morris.

Can we stop acting like this award isn't going to Griffin? Luck is going to be a great QB, but he didn't come close to doing what Griffiin historically did this year. Historically.

[poizond13]

The harsh reality is that if the 2012 draft took place today, Luck would still be taken #1. Wilson would be taken #2. And RGTebow wouldn't even be taken in the first round. There certainly would be no team giving up 3 first round picks to get him.

[Crazy Levi]

The harsh reality is the new sig you will soon be enjoying.



And The redskins could certainly trade RG3 - today - for the same 3 picks they paid for him. He'll be back next year, and Andrew Leaf will be back throwing picks and fumbling the ball.

RG3 is already post-surgery, and the Redskins are on the road back to the Super Bowl.

MARK MY WORDS.

Please add "I'm a troll who knows nothing about football" to troll13's sig.

[poizond13]

I knew RGTebow wasn't going to last all year. Hell, anyone with half a brain knew that. He's currently on course for a five year career if he doesn't change his playing style, which he won't, because he cannot throw the ball. The Redskins mortgaged their future to get a guy who is already a bust. That organization is headed toward 15 more years of futility.

[Crazy Levi]

I'm going to keep it very, very simple.
