Sounds like Girgs will be out a LONG time ... possibly the entire season :

So there's an opening for ..... R2 ?

According the big bob mckenzie

Cozens and Quinn being flown to buffalo right after the game. Since flying on a private jet. They don’t have to quarantine and can practice right away.

Saw somebody following the jet on Twitter.

Maybe it was Gerbe

Few good pk UFAs left.

Girgensons absence will impact this

Now your PK forwards are Eakin, Lazar, Rieder, Sheahan and Eichel.

It would be really nice if they could take Tage aside and teach him how to use his exceptional reach on the PK. He can be a really nice 3rd liner on this team if he figures that out. They said during the scrimmage he actually grew another inch and now he's 6'7" which is absurd

gus going down may have just solidified a spot for Routsalainen...he could probably slide into a pk role...seems smart and determined enough

edit: and that note on tage?...oh my

I hope he makes it. He definitely has the offensive upside that's nice to see, coupled with a European pedigree which implies defensive awareness. If Ruotsalainen and Thompson could be two PKers then you only need to employ two traditional Larrys for the other Pk spots

Tua looks like a guy who got to throw the ball to Jeudy, Ruggs, Smith, Waddle against a bunch of inferior competition.
- Pegullaville

kind of like the college allen tapes, when he was throwing to scrubs against future nfl db's


or when he had the worst group of wr's in year 1 in the nfl that probably was not running proper routes?

Since week 11 Colts are 31st in pass defense. Given up avg of 296 yds per game over that stretch. For the season they have allowed 53 completions of at least 20 yds which is 9th most

OH MY

routsolainen has a huge jump on everyone else having already played in 27 games this year...and it showed during the scrimmage as he was in complete game-mode...i see no reason why he shouldn't get a legitimate shot a bottom-six slot, quite possibly on the left side with eakin and okposo or playing sheltered minutes on the last line

Love Allen. But he made some of the most ridiculous head scratching bone headed decisions I ever seen a QB make. Tim Tebow stuff. That on him and not his WR.

But alot of that was his will to make a play, win a game put the team on his back put his body on the line.

Thats why I always thought he could put it together. But it easily could of went the other way if he didnt have a stable organization or if he had Casey work ethic

didn't notice him too much although i think he got flattened by risto...he's another that could have a legit shot at the roster with gus out, although your cj smiths and andrew oglevies probably have the inside track

I'm curious what people see in Asplund as he seems like a nothing player at this point.

Kirk Cousins finished 3rd in completion percentage last year.

Allen had a huge jump this year.

Maybe Diggs should get MVP consideration 🤷🏻‍♂️

He should. He won't but he should. Neither Rodgers nor Allen get close to where they're at without Adams and Diggs.

You guys were all totally wrong about Mitts. Snickers not Bon Bons.

Imma just get this out of the way now. You have Canada versus the US in the gold medal game, in Edmonton, with an all-Canadian officiating crew.

- kingcong39

for me he has similar career projections as larry larsson...maybe a bit better skater...maybe a little more offensive upside dependent upon how it works out for him, but i can see him as playing a solid defensive game in the least

I wish I could say that as a Canadian, that made me think we had an advantage.

It never works out that way. Something about the Canadian mentality - they bend over backwards to "prove" they are unbiased.
