    Bengals were awfully impressive against the Bills.   They just beat the Bills up.   Are the Bengals the most physical team in the NFL now?

     

    I dont like the Eagles.  I am not sure I am rooting for the Eagles against SF.

    I dunno.    SF vs Cincy or KC seems like an entertaining Super Bowl.

     

    I think I’d like to see the Bengals win it all.

    Just my opinion, but i think the WR group in general except for Kupp is mediocre.

    I dunno if they can upgrade, but Kupp needs some help.

    Nfl-celeb-media-heads never emphasize this:

    ==

    “You know all that next-man-up stuff? That’s just coach-speak,” said Steve Mariucci, former coach of San Francisco and Detroit, speaking generally about losing star players. “That’s like false bravado sometimes. The next man up isn’t as good as the guy he follows, OK? That’s the reality of it. When you’ve got a lot of next-men-up, you’re going to get your butt kicked. Let’s face it. Let’s talk real here.”

    ==

    I have often wondered why?  Why do they consciously avoid talking about injuries and their impact?    I mean it is sooo obvious its a media policy.

    Maybe the  NFL-suits just dont like the idea of talking about negatives like injuries.

    Whatever it is, its a media-policy.   Do not talk about injuries, do not blame losses on injuries.    Maybe its a capitalism thing.   “Dont play the victim”   I dunno.

    I wish we had easy-to-understand sites where you can see how the injuries compared from year to year.

    Has this been one of the worst injury-years in the last twenty years?   Seems that way, but i dont trust my memory.

    I mean, Donald, Kupp, Stafford — just those three is season-blowing.

    Yeah, Big-Media loves him.  Absolutely loves him.  He’s Elvis.

    Gets the big ratings, for some reason.

     

    He’s obviously got some real football-talent.   And if you give him protection and a running game, like most talented-QBs, he will win, and he’ll mix in some big-time passes.    And in some ways he’s a fun locker-room guy.  In some ways.  Enthusiastic, childlike, etc.

     

    But he has not proved to be an  unselfish, good, Leader, over time.  And if you listen close to his interviews, you can see the hints of selfishness.  He said something about ‘showcasing his talent’ recently.   Thats not something i want my QB to think about.  Its not a team-first mentality.

    Its an NFL win, so no complaints.   Everyone looked good.

    Game was about what i expected.   They do play hard, which is a tribute to McVay, but not an entertaining team, obviously.   Hard for me to even watch the hi lites.

     

    What does it mean, when tutu atwell is the player i most want to watch?

    Well, I expect the Rams to implode Monday Night.   Cant see a way to victory in this one.

    I’m just hoping for a decent first quarter.  Maybe the defense can do something.

    Well, I guess I’m the only one not all that surprised at what Baker did.    I’ve always thought he was good at ‘winging it.’   His problems come in as the games pile up and he has to actually lead and study, etc etc.

     

    Still, it was a game worth remembering in a season from hell.

    Can they please sit Stafford ‘now’  ?     Or are they trying to see how many body parts the old guy can injure this year.

    3 and 7.    Four losses in a row.  Last place.

     

    The Rams won the Super Bowl last year.   And I’m still happy.

    I dont know if they need to ‘rebuild’ or not.  Dunno.

    But i do know, that putting an old vet star-QB out there, in the middle of this hot-mess is a recipe for serious injury.

    And what exactly is the up side to playing Stafford?   One or two more wins…maybe.

    The down side is serious injury.

     

    I would sit him.   Its not old-school, I know, but i would sit him.

    I am not playing my veteran-star-QB, behind ‘that’ Oline with no Cooper Kupp,

    and ‘that’ assortment of skill players.

     

    I aint do’in it.

     

    Course if i were to do it, every pass play would be a 3-step drop and a 5 yard route.
