Or they could call Carso...nevermind, he jumped the gun and is a backup again.

Why be a starter when you can be practice Geno Smith?

I think they’re less cursed and more they just don’t fix the problem that’s been there since he was a rookie. Their offensive line is still one of the worst in football. He’s been there now for 4 years and that line is still bad. they’ve had chance after chance, and just Fed it up. They are ranked 23rd by pff and ESPN’s pass block win rate 20th and run blocking win rate 24th

Burrow walked into the building pregame with a brace on his right hand, yet wasn't on the injury report.  Seems there's more problems there than a shoddy OL.

YES!! I knew there was a Colts player that did the same thing, but i couldn't think of his name.

Kurt Warner is a notable omission, yeah.  

FitzMagic is fun, but not on the same level.  Koy Detmer, LOL, no.  Is that you Koy?

 

Ryan Fitzpatrick had a lot of success at pretty much every stop he went to.  He was the ideal top notch journean backup QB.

TIFWIW but report out there it’s an iPad glove that’s why you saw him wearing it while carrying his iPad. Whether it’s believable or not is another story

While I realize this is a joke, who really is the backup QB GOAT?  Criteria:  they initially had to be at least 2nd string on the depth chart on opening day, and I only count what they did for the one season.

Candidates: Foles, Hostetler, Tom Brady only in the year he won the superbowl as the backup, who else?  

Does Steve Young count? How about Dan Fouts? Terry Bradshaw? Jalen Hurts? Among many. I admit to having trouble with your criteria.

That's cultural appropriation. Can't believe they stand for that in CA.

WTF is the purpose of a glove to hold a stylus pen that isn't touching the glove?

Friday morning musings.  Drove down to Berkeley for breakfast at Bette’s Oceanview Diner.  Had a great breakfast several years ago with @Talon   It is fun to meet EMB members in person.

where have you met others on the EMB?

That’s cool…unfortunately I have not had the fortune to meet anyone from the blog.  I’d say the EMB, but it’s rare that I ever post in other threads.  Been a member since 2002 I want to say…but living in the Chicago area makes it a little tough lol

There should probably be a product recall if it causes torn ligaments.

No clue but there’s a lot of idiots that likely will buy it. So someone made it.

Chris long nailed it. I think there is something else going on but he was better off going with the story of the iPad glove and saying it was coincidence.

What I don’t quite get is why there’s such uproar here but Hurts doesn’t feature on the injury list at all?

‘Cause he took his brace off rather than put one on.

Right but he’s not appeared on the injury list at any point this year? And he’s been wearing a brace during games. We all know he’s hurt.

I think where treatment is occurring plays into this. If Hurts continues to practice as normal and didn't get any examination or treatment as part of the Eagles operation, then they don't have to report anything. I could be wrong.

It's just the situations. Tons of O-linemen wear knee braces during games, yet they are never on the injury report just for that. Hurts hasn't missed a practice snap or a game snap, so he doesn't need to be on the injury report just because he's wearing a knee brace.

Burrow was allegedly wearing a wrist brace just for travel. That's the issue.

FastFreddie and I started working for the same company at the same time, and he got me to sign up here in 2001. I guess that counts.

Was on a project in Denver in 2004 and hung with Gyl1gin on game days.  Then again in 2006.  Then I moved to Denver and was there from 2009-2016, so game days again until Schmoopie moved in then it was only here and there, but hung out in the city instead like adults. Still a friend to this day even though we both moved out of Denver around the same time.

Was on a project in Omaha in 2005 and hung with Omahaphillyfan on Sundays

Was on a project in Atlanta in 2005 and hung with Moloko during the week

Was at training camp in 2006 with a ton of folks here.  BigEd, Phreak, Rome, PhillyFanFromBirth, AP, Dag, DiPros, Corey... sure I'm forgetting a bunch.

Was at an eagles tailgate in San Fran in 2006 with quite a few folks.  LTD (RIP), California Eagle (RIP), Reebles, and WestCoastO.  Then during the game @brkmsn tapped me on the shoulder.  Still don't know how he found me.  

Was at a tailgate in 2007 prior to the Titans game that McNabb shredded his knee.  Met DieHard, Stingo, NotPlainJane, DieHard, plus a few people that left here for CF.

 

I'm sure tthere's more but those were the ones that jumped out to me right now.

Met up with Lawlor a couple of times in 2006 to watch games when I lived in Raleigh. 

Drank PBRs of course

There shouldn’t be an uproar about Hurts, or Burrow.  I don’t believe there’s any reason for a player to be on the injury report unless he’s not practicing or is limited.  In those cases I do believe it is required. I don’t think it’s required if they practice.

I’m guessing the glove prevents the heat from your hand from touching the iPad, etc (So that only the stylus touches/draws etc) 

Welp Bengals are Fed

Burrow is toast
