NFL Week #3

#24
What the?
I had surgery to repair a torn meniscus when I was playing high school football (1988). I practiced the next week, and played a game 10 days later. I could have played sooner, but my mom wouldn't let me.
My tear must have been less severe than Adrian's.
That is a major bummer.

Agreed.

Injuries are quickly changing the complexion of the season, and that's a shame. NE, Cleveland, MN, and a couple of others. Teams that had an opportunity to shine. I don't root for them, but I hate to see it nonetheless.

Next man up is one thing, and a good football team is built on depth and coaching, but when you're looking at your third string QB and recruiting for Game 3, that is hard on a team in many respects.

I expect NE to escape relatively unscathed.

I grew up rooting for the Browns. It's awful to see them be so hapless.

Hapless is a good word for them. It almost seems like the media guys have run out of ways to say we stink.
But, hope springs eternal in the breast of a Browns fan. Hey, we're almost halfway through our 40 years of wandering in the NFL desert, so we have that going for us. Which is nice.

Well, you weren't thinking about extending your pro career for as long as possible. Also, maybe, just maybe, thinking about how it would be pretty sweet to line up with Tom Brady in front of you for one last chance at a ring. Maybe.

They are becoming the NFL's Cubs.

I'll say it again - Jay Cutler has never belonged in Chicago. The prototypical Bears QB thinks he's an offensive lineman and plays like it. Throwing isn't a part of the deal. Being some kind of cave dweller who eats raw meat and chews sidewalks is part of the deal. That's just how it is. Chicago needs to pry Tim Tebow away from the Mets. His true role is as a blocking fullback, which makes him the perfect Bears QB.

And I'll say it again. Jay Cutler is just a mopey version of Jeff George: a journeyman quarterback with a rocket arm, but not a true leader. Agree that the Bears need a knuckle dragger in the backfield.
