Pariah Posted September 19, 2020 Report Share Posted September 19, 2020 Washington Pit Vipers? (When I typed that, my phone autocorrected 'vipers' to 'voters'.

Non-injury but out for a while...James White. My deep sympathies to him; his father was killed this afternoon in a car wreck. His mother was also in the car; she is in critical condition. He chose to fly home (New England...presumably tomorrow) with the team; I presume he'll fly to Miami from there. But his mind most likely won't be on football for several weeks. He's only 28, so figure his father's, what, around 50...so this is a TOTAL shock. I actually hope that either the Pats or the NFLPA sends someone down with him; the shock could easily last for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 If you like microscopic, chess-game analysis, this is the best piece I've seen in a while. And I don't say that because of the outcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hopcroft Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 Watching football with football players can be quite amazing. One of the things I learned is that to play the game, at any position, you need to be smart. Not necessarily book-smart, but quick-witted and knowledgeable about the angles players take. In a sense, line play in football is applied geometry. Plus you have to know up to a hundred specific plays well enough to execute each at a moment's notice.

Cancer Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 I also think this is how coaching staffs spend their Mondays. All day Monday, since they've got their own games to do post-mortem on, and their opponents to prep for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclevlad Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 Little confirmation WRT the injuries...Shefter during halftime. 7 ACLs wass the highest he could remember at least in some time. And a number of significant ones; Drew Lock is only expected to lose 2-6 weeks, but if it's closer to the 6, that'll be a lot of time to lose when the Broncos need to see if they might have something there. And the Niners got hammered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
