Week 10 NFL thread

[joe king]

According to PFT, Rodgers said on his radio show that it's a broken collarbone. So, I think anyone who thinks he'll be back quicker than four weeks is kidding themselves.

He said fractured, not broken. I'm not a doctor, so I don't know how that changes the timetable.

You're right... The headline said broken, story said fractured... That could make a difference of a week or two...

Paging DocTalk...

The 49ers always raved about Tolzien, who looked very good in his limited preseason duty. I'd rather see him than Wallace.

Someone made a run at Tolzien last week and the Packers upped his practice-squad salary to the two-year veteran minimum of $544K.

And they will be promoting him to the 53-man this week.

You can fork GB. At least three weeks means 5-6. If he came back after that it would be on a short week at Detroit which seems doubtful. They're probably 5-7 by the time he's able to play again. They were something of a skeleton crew with him, but suddenly they're the Jaguars.

Not even close.

I think Favre and his agent plant some of these rumours just to keep his name in the public eye. Nothing worse than being forgotten about in your old age.

Nnamdi Asomugha clears waivers after the 49ers cut him. Has done nothing all year.

Could be the end of the line, and time to go be Mr. Kerry Washington. There are worse fates.

Jeez, did his pro career go down the ****ter fast.

The Eagles' touch with free agent defensive backs is reverse Midas all the way. It's the kiss of death.

I like Tampa to win

PFT reporting Rodgers out 4-6 weeks which I think most people thought was the case.

I'm going to bet he returns the week after Thanksgiving. Playing in that game would be short of 4 weeks, it seems like the obvious thing to do is sit him and give the long week off between that game and the next one.

So the question becomes this: Eagles, @Giants, Vikings, @Lions. How many of those games can Green Bay win without him, for a Dec. 8 return vs. Atlanta at home?

I think 2 would be considered a great achievement. You also have to wonder if they do win 2, do they need him at home against the Falcons?

I think a lot will depend on how the team does in his absence. Obviously, you don't want to rush him back for any reason, but if they win the next two and are in decent playoff position (even as a WC) maybe you give him an extra week or two to make sure he's ready for the playoffs... Obviously, a lot of what ifs there...

Browns receiver Greg Little says he was choked at the bottom of a pile by Ravens DB James Ihedigbo. The incident led to Little ripping off Ihedigbo's helmet, tossing it toward the sideline, and thus drawing a 15-yard penalty.
Both guys now going back and forth, with Ihedigbo saying Little is making the accusation to avoid a fine.
Fun times!

Pete Carroll says not counting on Percy Harvin playing this week.

Granted, Bob Condotta works for the Seattle Times and not the Christian Science Monitor, but this is concerning to me as regards Harvin's Week 7 availability.

Says two guys who probably would have given their left nut to work for the CSM rather than crappy county papers.

Holy hell his career dissolved seemingly overnight.

Kerry's an insatiable freak and now he's too tired to play football?


Just a guess.

Ha. It really was my lifelong dream of mine to work for an organization I'd never heard of until recently. One of my biggest regrets. I hear the benefits are amazing.

I wonder if Percy Harvin is looking for an assistant to run his Facebook and Twitter accounts?

 

[LongTimeListener]

I don't know why he thinks I live in a crappy county. I like my county!

Maybe this deserves its own thread, but I'll post it here first: Hall of Famers Tony Dorsett & Joe DeLamielleure and former All-Pro Leonard Marshall have all told ESPN's Outside the Lines they have been diagnosed with CTE:
