General AFC North thread

[HoosierCat]

And the circus winds to an end. Still an utter joke.

 

[membengal]

Yeah, that's awful. 

[AMPHAR]

What a dumbass result.   If this is what it is going to end up like then avoid this circus all together.     Either kick trash like Watson out of the league OR do nothing and throw the responsibility back on the justice system.    These half ass measures that Goodell has embarked on since 2007 is a clown show and hurts the league's reputation more.

What incredible back bone by the league.   They took a player they believe used his stature as a NFL player to sexually target women.  Goodell took a brave stand against evil and declared 6 games was not enough.    "Hey Rog,  what about 5 more games?"   Yep that makes it alright.

What the fuck?  

It also looks like Watson could be starting vs. Texans when he returns.   It also looks like each AFC North team will have 1 game with Watson.

Almost like it was planned like that when the schedules were built......

Meanwhile, while Pitt plays musical depth charts at QB, things are proceeding swimmingly in Baltimore, it seems.

How many “Deadlines” has Jackson given and have since passed? Hard to take that guy seriously when he’s not working with an agent.

Do the right thing Lamar, hold out until you get what you deserve !!!

LOL…

[HoosierCat]

Thing is, LJ is great in the regular season…and 1-2 with 2 TDs and 4 picks in the playoffs. So far, he’s a marginally better Andy Dalton. If he wants a Watson-level deal, and I’m sure he does, he’d better win it all this year.

[ArmyBengal]

I’m just inviting whatever nonsense into the Ravens mix as possible. I still hate them.

[HoosierCat]

Yeah I get it. For all the shit the bengals take about character, at least we don’t have a statute of a murderer outside out stadium.

As my son says to me:

[COB]

How anyone turns down 280 plus, 166 million guaranteed is beyond me.  He could go out and get maimed this year.  

[HoosierCat]

Ravens picking up right where they left off…

[TJJackson]

well, still, they won their game 1

Liz appointed to the NFL’s international committee.

Elizabeth has done a great job in most capacities so far, so I'm glad to see her roles expanded.

[HoosierCat]

Trubisky era over. Kenny gets then reins in Pitt.

[Stripes]

Probably the right move for them. They're staring down 1-7 or 2-6 with that schedule in front of them either way.

[ArmyBengal]

The fact the Trubiskey era lasted this long is a small miracle. Dude was set up to be demoted.

At this point, forget trying to keep track of all the victims, it’d be easier to make a list of the few Houston area women Watson somehow managed not to sexually proposition.  Dude’s not a quitter, we can tell that much.  

[ArmyBengal]

If you are a woman in Houston and DIDN’T get propositioned by Watson, are you trying to figure out why you weren’t good enough at this point ??

[AMPHAR]

Again,  there will always be a certain low percentage of dirt balls in this world that can play football really well.  If the NFL and NFLPA are not willing to take drastic steps to remove this from the player talent pool then don't address it all.

In the real world IF you are sexual predator found guilty you serve jail time and then have to register years afterward.    Watson just misses a handful of games and his employer attempted to structure his compensation to help him out.

The NFL should do 1 or 2 things.    Point to the US Criminal Justice system and/or take steps to have trash like this removed from the league. 

The problem is and has been for years is you have a bunch of lawyers and PR guys in the NFL league office that are completely reactionary and we see this EVERY facet of the game.

Look at the joke concussion protocol.   It would not be hard to instruct your refs to only flag blatantly obvious head hunting or use of head.   Then you take your technology after the game and review each snap and start assigning safety demerits or whatever.   When it reaches are certain level an escalation of warnings, fines, suspension, dismal is enacted.      Give a fast track for the Burficts of the world that blatantly try to injury and are successful. 

They are now in bed with gambling.  Eventually that's what this game will be about.   So you can't have the eye in the sky taking start taking players off the field during a game and expect the gambling crowd not to be outraged.  You can't have these horrible roughing the passer calls.
