Best to assume the worst case. As long as we get pressure from the front 4, and the O clicks...we should be fine. If it is indeed surgery, there can be some hope he can be back for our playoff run. It just all depends. Our road will be tougher w/o him for sure...but it is still a road that leads to a SB victory.

1. I was just being conservative 2. Meh...bad division! Only SF was any good...

Take that c$%& elsewhere buzzkill bob!

Congrats Jay! Now show him a stack of your 5 SB rings when he gets into kindergarden!

Wootten will always have a soft spot in my heart...for ending Favre.

This thread is just fodder before ths season starts... The the honest truth is yes, we should be able to beat AZ based on the realities at hand. 1. We were decent last year before Cutty went down 2. Az was crappy last year 3. We got much better at WR 4. Az really didn't add much to their roster Based on those points alone, we should win that game.

My popcorn is out...

Agreed.

Yup.

All this talk is simply a bunch of drunks that have been on the wagon getting a taste of Dewar's. The bottle of Macallan will be passed around in a bout 4 weeks. Any news, we're soaking up like a dry desert soaking up the rain. We best not read too much or too little.

The lower on the radar the better...

...in all honesty, I only keep tabs on players that are significant or guys with an interesting story. Sadly, this Cole guy wasn't on that list.

Too early for Chicken Little to be squaking...

My bad. I didn't realize you're starting a second league, not joining in the original.

OOOPS! Did not know that. Thanks for clarifying!

It's actually perfectly fair if you see it through. I wasn't in it the year before I joined. I took over a team for someone who left and had to inherit their roster and draft slot. It's like the NFL. This isn't an expansion, you are buying an existing team. You just get to rename it and run it better than the guy before you! Do you know who's team you are taking over for?

It's a keeper league, it should always go in opposite standing order. It's part of what makes it fun.

I understand your frustration. Nothing about Drake makes me super confident. But, it could have been mostly on Angelo. Hopefully it was JA's fault...

Hopefully we didn't give much up. But seems like a depth move to take place of Okoye & A. Adams...

Drake should bear responsibility for some or most...but to say Hester hasn't gotten better is just not really true. Compared to what he was at first, he has gotten much better. It's just not good enough to be a #1 or really a #2. Bennett has improved as well. Bradley and Iglesias could just be busts. I don't see them lighting it up on any other rosters.

Who doesn't? My thought is pressure simply need to be 2 fold. If only one guy is generating it, offensses can adjust. If we have 2, regardless of spot, then they offenses can't adjust...

I think that's simply good management.

I pretty much agree on all counts. But not in Denver or anywhere. I just hope he is free of pain and can lead as normal a life as possible.

I like that. I assume he will adjust if he has to, but it's good to have a plan...
