Break what must be broken, once for all, that's all, and take the suffering on oneself.

― Corey Dostoyevsky
He melts down and takes things too hard. That's basically it (and he kept it off the field this time!).

He doesn't throw teammates under the bus (even when they really, really do deserve it), responds honestly to the media and is a complete sweetheart off-the-field. These issues are a blip in any other media market, but he's a 24-year-old emotional kid in the most corrosive media market in the world.

In a way he's the total opposite of his quarterback: one feels nothing, the other feels everything.

All of his behavior makes a complete sense that way.

:lol: no. Bipolar means "two poles". ODB never has a down or depressive episode that I've seen. He's just an emotional kid who hates losing. He's hardly unique in that. He is just a high profile player that the media loves to fixate on. When the Seahawks perform badly half the team acts that way. It isn't mental illness, it's hyper-competitive young men who have gone through immense physical pain and still lost.

Packers win on Sunday. Lions win on Monday. Then Lions win next week and skins and giants both lose out (actually skins may only need to lose one)

Oh and the bucs need to win 2

It would be funny for the Giants to miss the playoffs cause of us, but on the same note, it would be great if they won.

Oh, Super Bowl champs Giants? You mean that scrub team we disposed of in Week 16? :smuggo:

Dallas has the 1 seed securing the NFC East as the best division in football.

I want to especially thank the Washington team for making this happen!

The Eagles are going to beat the Cowboys, because why wouldn't they win a game that affects nothing but their draft position post round 1.

Also, they will win because the team that has their #1 pick is the Browns. The Browns are really innovative in their sadness manufacturing.

The Eagles worked out Dez Stewart (WR) the other day. He was originally signed by Washington and spent time on Green Bay's practice squad.

I don't know anything about him, but if the Eagles like what they saw they could have a Dez and a Beckham in their WR corps next season.

Just like we had a Matthews in our linebacking corps, and the Phillies had a Giambi in their dugout.

Coughlin historically sat starters but I'm not sure about McAdoo. Offense will probably sit but the defense might have starters go since they have to figure out who's going to step up to replace JPP and how he'll work with the other starters on the line. Jenkins will probably sit just to get healthy. DRC too just to give Eli Apple some experience on the outside in case Jenkins gets hurt again.

Well it's not as if we can complain if you do play starters. Winning tomorrow would mean a lot for me and a lot of fans, I think. Back to back playoff berths would be a sure sign that things really are going right here these days.
