Around the League: Week 2

Phil Simms is a tool, I'd sign it.

Man, the vikings press conference re-instating Adrian Peterson does not look good.

He doesnt deserve children. Its well documented, he doesnt deserve them.

After week two im looking at our schedule again and 10-6 seems completely doable.

Wow. This team finally breaks a ridiculously long losing streak going back to last year, against a woeful excuse for an NFL team, and suddenly the Redskins are playoff bound again...

I'm all for optimism but I'm also a realist. For this Redskins team there are no "guaranteed" victories. None.

Ok the words playoffs and guarantee never came out of my mouth - only yours. Im not buying superbowl tickets or planning a trip to Disneyworld to ride on Space Mountain with Captain Kirk. I said 10-6 seems doable. I do not believe that is crazy based not on the fact that we beat the Jaguars, but based on the fact of what the remaining teams on our schedule are looking like. So you tell me which of the teams below are not beatable, (notice the word beatable - i did not say which of these teams has absolutely no chance of beating the juggernaut that is the Redskins).
Giants - twice
Cardinals
Titans
Vikings
Bucs
Colts(by far the strongest of the opponents i am listing imo)
Rams
Cowboys - twice
Maybe a split with the Eagles?
If we beat seattle or sanfran that is just gravy. I dont know about you but i can pick 9 of those games as wins without feeling i am going out on a huge limb. Based not on the fact that I think we are great but only on the fact that they are not great either(minus birds, niners, hawks) which i pointed out.

Apparently dogs, and grown women are not acceptable. Only four year old children. Smh.
Edit: it seems like the public outcry over Rice and Vick was /is so much more than AP.

Man, the vikings press conference re-instating Adrian Peterson does not look good.

the trial is scheduled for 2015.

what are they supposed to do?

deactivate him until his trial, continuing to pay him to do nothing?

have the NFL dish out punishment before the justice system has its say?

do they completely disregard the legal system and kick him out of the league? is there a process for that that is fair as well as capable of pleasing the court of public opinion?

this is why the NFL's move (back around when Vick got in trouble) to run as some moral police over their league parallel to the justice system was stupid. i, as well as many others, said it at the time (we can't say much now though, because you're attacked when you do.) it only leads down one path, and this is that path.

the NFL is going to look super stupid when Rice wins his appeal for being disciplined twice for the same thing, all as a PR move.

the league needs to reverse course. they're a business and they should discipline players of on the field issues and let the legal system handle off the field issues.

there is no winning. there will be mistakes, uneven punishments, and situations that don't make sense.

if they don't then their only other option is to way over discipline players. and i'll laugh my ass off when all these righteous redskins fans start complaining about how unfair it is one of our guys got a ridiculous punishment before being found guilty of anything.

Based on your post then you didn't see the game did you ? Don't you have a fellow employee to cheese on or something ?

.. The Giants outgained the Cardinals 341-266. ... Ellington had 91 yards on 15 carries and Larry Fitzgerald caught six passes for 51 yards. ...Tight end Larry Donnell led New York with seven catches for 81 yards.

Weren't they playing with Drew Stanton as their qb?

Lets not forget their entire front seven is either injured, suspended, or gone from last year.
