Deshaun Watson - ACL?

Post by Stosh-67 » Thu Nov 02, 2017 8:53 pm

Wow.
May have torn ACL in practice.

Another game on the schedule that may have gotten easier

No Luck ( really, no luck )
No Rodgers
No Watson.

Hope we don't plan to score 18 in these games.

Awful. Along with Brady and Alex Smith the kid was a lock for the Pro Bowl and easily ROTY. So fun to watch.

Second half schedule is shaping up rather nicely. What is gonna happen to derail our season?

Houston game just got easier for us at least, kid was playing pretty good, he balled out against the Seahawks. Houston coaches have to be devastated, after Osweiler they were probably excited finally to have decent QB play, gonna have wait until next season now.

With NFL viewership WAY down, the NFL losing it’s star QBs sure as shit doesn’t help. I’m sure McNair is contacting Kaepernick’s agent as I type this.

Watson
Luck
Rodgers
Tannehill
Bridgewater & Bradford
Palmer

No wonder nobody tunes in to a 40-0 Thursday night drubbing. NFL is in the doldrums.

Who'd have thought that making the NFL so incredibly skewed toward the passing game could backfire?

FC believes they have held some things back. That is undoubtedly at least partially true due to new faces and youthful inexperience.

And lets HOPE they have been holding some things back. But my concern is I have 0 confidence this team can just flip the switch and execute new wrinkles at a high level come playoff time. That's a double-edged sword, and I wouldn't bet against the other team being able to adjust better than we can execute.

I think nfl viewership is down because they no longer work with free tv much....

I will not be surprised to see Brady go down before they play us. That is how his career will end at his age....odds are. Probably a torn rotator cuff.

He signed in Cleveland, didn't he? Maybe I misread that article.

Edit: yes, I did misread it.

There have been some rumors about Houston and Green Bay, though, so we might yet end up facing your nemesis.

Swiss, seriously dude, why do you give so much of a shit about Colin Kaepernick? It’s like when his name is mentioned you throw your keyboard across the room, like I do during a game watching Haley’s offense.

Hardly....I just think no one's signing this guy, nor should they, in the best interests of their respective businesses.

I'm also sick of being told that as a football fan, I'm somehow being robbed by not being able to watch Watson, Rodgers, et al, during this football season.

These last 8 games are going to go by quick.

I doubt we are flipping a switch come playoff time so I'm hoping during the final 8 rs games we build on the signs of life we have seen from the offense the past 2 games. We might get some bad weather games that derail that development so when we do get the opportunity we need to take advantage.

Feel bad for the kid, he was the toast of the town there. Houston can't catch a break this year on the injury front. Its been a while since I've seen a squad's top players entirely decimated like this.
With the defensive issues I don't think this team is a super bowl team, but with Watson in they would have won that division running away and probably bit someone in the wildcard round.
