I hope so. Because we’re one injury to a safety away from having to start Clayton Fejedelem.

Bengals fan?

Don't worry, you will be broken at some point. It happens to all of us. It's best not to fight it.

I’m a Canucks and Bengals fan. Trust me, I’ve had my fair share of heartbreak.

Leafs fan here, so it's a miracle you and I are still alive.

I had been a Bengals fan since the mid 80's. I actually remember exactly where I was sitting in my childhood home when Joe Montana and John Taylor stabbed me through the heart with 34 seconds left on January 22, 1989. I remember the youthful optimism...and then our founder passed away and his should-have-been-aborted-demon-spawn-monster-cheapskate-bastard son took over. Then the 90's happened. I'm not even going to waste bandwidth telling you what being a Bengals fan at that time was like for me.

I still followed the team heavily during the Palmer years (despite the atrocious management, nonexistent, bare-bones scouting staff and impossibly bad ownership), but it got exhausting. The 2015-2016 playoff loss against Pittsburgh was the last Bengals game I watched. Emotionally, I just couldn't take it anymore. You see, I had to discover hockey on my own and didn't care about the sport until I was 12+ years old (and wasn't a die-hard until years later). Football? I was born watching the NFL. It was a religion in my family. But I had a limit, and I knew that when my interest in the NFL waned to the point where I could no longer justify the emotional ass-fisting that is being a Bengals fan...that was it, that would be the end.

I still love college football though.

Panthers rookie Moore cited for driving 113 mph

Ravens CB Jimmy Smith suspended for four games

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

That hurts Ravens

[Josepho]

I find it hilarious that Smith somehow manages to always miss a game against AB, even when we get our Steelers games out of the way early.

Should be an easier pill to swallow this year since we have Young back and a defensive coordinator who is more willing to double team or play Humphrey on him.

Charles Johnson calls it a career

I thought this already happened, but I guess not.



Wonder if the Redskins would rather have AP or him.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Once lead them in rushing yds is a bit weak of a claim considering both #1 and #2 RB got injured during that season (Charles + Ware)

Track record says he probably wont do much. When Chiefs walk away from RB its usually a sign he is not good and I cant recall a RB the Chiefs released/cut that has actually done anything of note after leaving KC

Return to LA?

Had his best year with Rams in 1st season in LA

 

[Troy McClure]

He’s done.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Why would L.A. want him? He would be a 5th or 6th option. Indianapolis makes sense if he wants a lot of snaps.

Colts WR Depth:

Hilton
Britt
Some guy
A cardboard cutout of Dante Moncrief
Someone Jim Irsay thinks he sees, but actually doesn't because he's loaded/high/both again

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Seriously the Colts have the least talented roster in the league.

When you lose your franchise QB for a year, luck out (no pun intended) get the top pick in a draft w/ two solid QB prospects and then fail to build around the one you took

That's the crazy thing. They don't even have the excuse of having spent a bunch of future draft picks to move up to get their QB. They just can't draft. At all.

Grigson was a complete joke when it came to drafting even tho for some reason drafting was supposed to be one of his strengths

 

[What the Faulk]

I'd be stoked with 1400 yards for McCaffrey.

 

[Avs_19]

Hopefully he lives up to the hype he's getting. I've gone from "I might have to reach for McCaffrey at 16 because I'll need a RB" to "I hope he's still there when I pick at 16." I have major concerns about the Panthers OL and some about Norv as well but McCaffrey's talent could overcome those things.

Yes, I know. Nobody cares about your fantasy team.

 

[What the Faulk]

I'd be very iffy on him in anything other than full-point PPR since he derives a ton of his floor based on those catches. But he's got the explosiveness to break long ones almost every time he touches it, as evidenced by last week and in the playoffs against New Orleans. CJ Anderson also seems to be more of a change of pace back rather than a true timeshare partner.

Cam is my QB and I am concerned about the OL and Norv too lol.
