missed most of the game Can anyone give me a quick summary of the injuries? Sounds like Greaves and January were both hurt, and Willy sounded pretty shook up in that post game...

When you say ONLY, your saying that Willy's career night is not only the new normal, which it isn't, but the new lowest expectation we should have. From here on out, Willy could get better, worse, or be the same. That's the reality The 'Debbie Downer' view would be he's already played his best game and he will ONLY get worse. (Read it in a Eeyore voice to get the full effect.) I don't think I've ever agreed with you.... but absolutely this is what I meant.

Give me a break, are you honestly trying to say that's what I am doing here? Not to mention I hardly "criticized" you - when one states "x can only get x" you are speaking in absolutes, which is simply not true in football, which is all I said... If he stinks it up against the RedBlacks, I'll just say "growing pains are expected". Why the hell would I want to rub it in your face? I want this team to win as much, if not more as the next person. I want him to succeed just as much as the next person. One thing I can guarantee is that you won't come here and say you were wrong. One thing about the "let's wait and see" attitude (which I have, in case you still haven't figured it out), is you can't be wrong.

No, it's just that one game does not make a benchmark for future expectations. Oh come on, iso, I'm far from a negative Nancy as you so eloquently put it. Just saying one great first game and everyone is jumping on the Willy as our saviour bandwagon? That is something I will not do. As always I am cautiously optimistic, but absolutely he could appear worse or not improve as defences learn more about him, or as he plays better defences. Fraser represent thoughts well. He had a GREAT game but statements like 'he can only improve from here' after an offensive player of the week game without your handy 'oh I meant he can only develop from playing time' sound ludicrous. Jyles' great comeback? Elliot's two great games? And where are those guys now? What have they done?

Stamps

Iirc, he was excused for personal reasons, wife or girlfriend I think? From one of O'Shea's conferences... He had expected him to be back at that time. Hope everything is ok.

Well that's simply not true. Nice positivity though!

Thanks!!

Montreal didn't pull Smith even though he was clearly struggling either...

Really, we have ONE good game at OL and you want to trade it away? Are you ******* kidding me?!

Same story after every free agency with the ticats...

If they stood still with Burris and Glenn on the market I highly doubt that. A young QB with upside is quite different than an aging vet...

Thanks buddy!!

Positive all those extra coaches helped everyone be so prepared. Anyone catch that O'Shea sees Kyle Walters as a coach? Any other GM's like that in the league?

I still refuse to be completely sold after the amount of up and coming QB's we've seen... but.... I was very impressed. He is one cool character.

Probably a good thing! I saw Watson's catch and thought, dang that guy is great when he's not injured. Then heard he was injured.

Double post

Personally I LOVED that they had the confidence to fake that punt. Love it. *swoon*

Was he the guy that blew someone up on a sweep?

Had him as my flex. Good numbers in that spot. I had Owens in there at flex. Embarrassed to say I cheered when he had that ST TD - but only because we had the game won already I cheered... he was my lock of the week! I'll take a garbage td at that point

Aww that makes me smile (I wish she had brought up the QB sneaks because they line up a yard off, but I'll take it )

I couldn't even tell if Mikes Kelly for allstar pick was a joke in the predictions thread!

Owens

Didn't both BLM and Tate sign extensions last year?

What a dull list. Would far prefer an "Up and Comers CFLer's to Watch" List or something. ... but I would really like Durant to crash and burn without his weapons this year.
