Apparently it's a lot worse then that. Had to undergo emergency surgery last night to fix an artery and hopefully save his leg.

.....yeah, that's his career then.

The Lions lost. 

I hate our OC, his play calling is just baffling.

[livid]

I'm not sure it's all on him because they did move the ball down the field but it's so strange to put up almost 500 yards of offense and only have 15 points to show for it. 

They definitely need to be more committed to the run, though.

The draw out of the shotgun needs to fucking go. Especially not in the redzone with Theo Riddick. Caldwell deserves blame as well, going for it on 4th down probably cost us a chance to just kick another field goal at the end to take the lead. 

I think we need a shake up at RB. Abdullah is alright, but we really don't have shit behind him. I love Riddick but he's not a good runner. The other guys are just uninspiring.

Duane Brown has been sent to Seattle, shocking that they actually added a player to the offensive line. Jeremy Lane goes to Houston, and I think some other parts might be in the deal.

Solid move for both sides. Houston's line wound up being fine without Brown and losing that depth might come back to bite them but their defense is a sieve.

[Pooker]

Patriots have traded Jimmy Garoppolo to the 49ers for a second round pick.

[Meacon Keaton]

Which is essentially a late first rounder since the 49ers will either have the #1 or #2 pick. 

Good play by the Pats.

[gunnar hendershow]

I think that's a solid deal for both teams. 49ers were almost certainly drafting a QB (or paying a mountain of cash to Cousins). Burning the 33rd or 34th pick instead of the 1st or 2nd on this QB I think is a win for them. And now the Patriots have essentially 2 1st round picks.

The biggest news from this is that the Tom Brady playing til 45 thing is very much in play.

[Pooker]

And the 49ers too. If Garoppolo can come in and live up to his potential, we can use the first or second pick on something else besides a QB.

5th round pick next year, 2nd round pick in 2019. I'm ok with this - dude wanted out and we really needed to regain all the draft capital we could (thanks Osweiler).

Now who is their backup?

Does it matter anymore? :/ 

[RoHitman Reigns]

Just to review.

- Zeke is not currently suspended

- If NFLPA appeals in the next 24 hours, depending on the date, Zeke's suspension is off.

- If NFLPA does not appeal in the next 24 hours, Zeke will be suspended, and will miss 6 games.

[Pooker]

None of that makes any sense. Also, read somewhere that the judge today who reinstated his suspension said that Elliot has had plenty of chances to argue his case...but the NFL refuses to listen to any if the evidence.

[Plubby]

Football has been cancelled for this season.

Brian Hoyer

Basically Zeke and the NFLPA have today to appeal. If they dont he is suspended.

I dont know how it all goes down for qhen the 2nd Circuit would hear it if they appeal and what that means but it sounds like he qould get another TRO for the time until the hearing of which that would basically need to be won by Zeke as I doubt he could get an en banc hearing if asked for it 

[livid]

Jay Ajayi has been traded to the Eagles for a 4th round pick.

[Meacon Keaton]

Ugh. Good trade for Philly. 

I doubt they're done. I expect them to grab an o-line man too.

[thatshortguy]

Could see Philly being a good landing spot for T.Y. Hilton.  Wouldn't be surprised if Frank Gore winds up as a contender's backup, either.
