Not entirely shocking. I wish they didn't have him still returning punts.

I'm assuming Aaron Dobson is done. He came in had a nice catch and immediately injured himself, which is his calling card.

10-1 if true, a bloo bloo bloo. :qq:

Seriously, it's the most likely loss on the schedule, but it more depends on if the OL can get its poo poo together or not. Cannon and Vollmer came back but both looked like crap, hopefully just because they're rusty after missing so many games.

just kinda sucks everyone's injured because if they weren't they'd have number 1 offense and defense. and go 16-0.

Truly a LOST SEASON III - THIS TIME IT'S PERSONAL situation.

Especially since all the linemen except Solder should be back by next week, and they should have Edelman back before the playoffs, and Jamie Collins should be back at some point soon too.

Really it's only "bad" in the short term... and they've already banked 10 friggin' wins, and most of the schedule going forward is garbage.

Yeah only being the #2nd best scoring offense (13pts. behind Arizona) really stings, especially since the team is the #1 scoring defense, not to mention that they are 2 games ahead of the next best team in the AFC.

I think you are completely forgetting about the Dallas Cowboys of the early 90s because those people had it even easier than 49ers fans imo

I really don't get this obsession with skin color/race you guys in the States seem to have. Like, I was listening to a podcast about Jessica Jones (the Netflix show) and they spend 30 minutes talking about the fact that it's awesome that Marvel has a show with a woman and a black guy as main characters. Is that really something people care about?

Europeans can be more racist but are more (self)segregated so it doesn't come up as much.

There's nothing worse than a proven winner still thinking they're the scrappy underdog.

The Pats think being bad way back when means they now deserve to be the best team in the history of football. And because they're a MA-based team, they have only two modes: Crushing depression and anger, or unbearable smugness.

I would hope the weight he lost is mostly water weight - I don't think it's physically possible to lose 20+lbs of muscle in 14 days. Unless he has MRSA or something it's hard to believe he won't at the very least be healthy again by the end of the regular season.

I think it's less that there are a lot of bad teams this year as it is that there are fewer truly and completely awful teams. For much of the league to be above .500 there needs to be a few teams that everyone beat up on. This year a lot of teams are trading wins between each other instead of dumping on three or four 1-9 teams.

Yeah, he was reported to be over the illness last week. I don't know how fast he can get into playing shape, and what the illness even was hasn't been disclosed, but expecting him back by week 17 at least seems plausible right now.
