I'm pretty sure I won't awake until halftime.

I'm usually awake by then on the weekend, even though sometimes I would try to go back to sleep.i'm pretty sure I'll remember to wake up and turn the television on, although there's a good chance I might doze for some of the first half myself.

got my alarm set....it will be nice to be able to actually watch a game on an actual tv instead of some shitty feed.... with no wife or baby awake

I definitely have thought of this silver lining myself...

Riddick nursing a hammy...our doctors put him in the game and makes it worse
CJ has high ankle sprain...our doctors play him and he hurts it worse
Bush has a bum ankle....our doctors put him in the game and he hurts it worse

WTF....is wrong with our medical staff? seriously....how can you be this fucking dumb?

kdp1980 · Oct 25, 2014

I know. I think Riddick is ready to go though

Medical staffs fault?? If he's good to go then he's good to go...lol. There's no way on Earth you played sports with this type of stupidity.

Ya I did. And when I fractured my ankle and had a high ankle sprain I sat out until it was better. You dumb ass homers have complained all year about how Stafford is working with an offense that has no CJ, Bush, Riddick, etc. They would ALLLLLLL be back by now if our medical staff weren't a bunch of morons.

you call me stupid? Who the fuck was "good to go?" You watched calvin stand there and not move for 2 games and you thought he was "good to go?" are you that dumb? Riddick was in for 1 drive then missed 2 more weeks....that was good to go? Bush in for half a game then misses 2+ weeks....that's "good to go?"

don't be stupid tony...youre better than that...

One thing that jumped out at me...who is playing TE tomorrow?

cheeno · Oct 25, 2014

Broyles

tigermud · Oct 25, 2014

Not a big fan of these London games, too early

Kickalicious showed up looking to see if they might want to reconsider

Maybe he can play TE

grandy · Oct 25, 2014

I just hope I'm not too hungover watching the offense do nothing in the first half

sggatecl · Oct 26, 2014

It's 3:18 am and I'm particularly pumped for this game. Can't sleep!

Mitchrapp · Oct 26, 2014

5 hours I just might stay up.

kmd47 · Oct 26, 2014

2 hours till... trying to power my way through the all nighter....
