Week 9 NFL Thread: Smoke 'em If ya got 'em Ray Mansfield edition

what a garbage franchise. they have Pro Bowl talent at a lot of levels on both sides of the ball, but injuries especially have killed them. Dalton is the least of their problems. So glad the Bungles and the Browns play in my team's division. They both can't help stepping on their own dicks.

 

I'm not breaking news here, but Josh Rosen better have a backup career plan.

 

Pats-Ravens should be good theater. Here's hoping Lamar can find the sweet spots in the NE defense and the Ravens D can rise up and do a good ole beatdown that Ray Lewis would be proud of (where's Suggs when you need him?)

 

If you have enough time in the saddle to throw 19 picks - you better have way more than 12 TDs if you expect to keep playing on Sundays. Was he ever as good as people (and he) said, or was he arrogant enough that people figured he must be able to back it up at some point?

 

There is no shame in coming into the league and not hit the ground running. So I am willing to throw out his career numbers at this point.

But if he cannot beat out journeyman Fitzpatrick in week 8, in a total throwaway season for the Dolphins, the handwriting is on the wall.

He's just another in a long line of qb first round busts. Nothing extraordinary about it.

 

Injuries haven't helped.
But their OL is terrible (granted, lost their No 1 pick to injury - but he wasn't making that shit show passable)
Their LBs are Sun Belt level
Those are by far the team's two biggest issues.
Dalton's not terrible. Or their biggest issue. He's...not good, either, though. The amount he panics for no good goddamn reason in his 9th year is infuriating.

 

There is a team up the Ohio from them who would love to rent Andy for a few months.

 

What a complete disaster

You can't make this stuff up.

If you are a top back, take what you can get when you're in a good setting.

Leveon Bell has screwed this up seven ways to sunday.

 

Pittsburgh might need an RB if Conner is out long...

 

The team is a fucking joke of a sham of a two-bit fake circus. That team had talent yet wasted it with Marvin FUCKING Lewis year after year. The organization was the epitome of middle of the road suckiness.

 

I already heard another Steelers fan suggest they should offer the Jets a fifth-round pick for him. The funny part is the Jets would probably do it at this point, but the Steelers don't have the cap room and I doubt they have the interest.

Tomlin said today that Conner will be limited in practice to start the week, but didn't rule him out for Sunday. He also said Jaylen Samuels is ready to return this week.

 

Steelers should trade for Dalton.
