[Shelterdog]

Someone explain the Sproles trade to me.

The salary cap is a real thing.

So what you're saying is that there is a SoSH football website that has approximately 50% of the threads on the main page, and you think it needs more press?

Yep, BBtL is the place to find lots of interesting football writing and maybe someone who didn't check out the three articles posted per day for the past three weeks might have missed one. 
 
Thanks for reading and enjoy the game.

The salary cap is a real thing.

They had money for him, though.

Well, at least this season.

Only if they sacrificed somewhere else-they were tight to the cap.

 

[Conigliaro's Potential]

One thing is for sure. Falcons away from the dome on natural grass == disappointment.

 
Natural grass? This is field turf.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Only if they sacrificed somewhere else-they were tight to the cap.

I guess it's tougher to know at the time he was traded, but the Saints are 3 million under, and Sproles would have cost them 2 million more. He's cap-friendly this year. Next year, he jumps up to 4 million, though.

 

[CaptainLaddie]

I am loving Teddytime.

 

[Morgan's Magic Snowplow]

I am loving Teddytime.

 
Atlanta's defense is bad but man is Bridgewater destroying them with ease, without that much talent to work with either.

But you really have to be 2-4 million under in case guys get hurt: every guy who goes on IR means you need to get a $500,000 or more replacement.

 

[CaptainLaddie]

Hey, whenever Donald Brown wants to stop sucking donkey dick that would be great.

I thought you teams got exemptions for IR?

 

[Ed Hillel]

Kap had his RB wide open at the sticks for like 3 full seconds right in front of his face.

 

[Helmet Head]

Mike Carey is awful on TV

 

[Shelterdog]

I thought you teams got exemptions for IR?

Nope.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

The 49ers offensive line sucks ass.  Jonathan Martin is getting owned by the Eagles defense.

 

[Super Nomario]

Brilliant throw, brilliant catch. (49ers)

 

[Fred in Lynn]

Great catch, but that ball never crossed the line.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Stevie Johnson makes a fantastic catch.

 

[johnmd20]

Toby Gehart sucks. How is he getting 4th and 1 carries?

 

[Al Zarilla]

The 49ers offensive line sucks ass.  Jonathan Martin is getting owned by the Eagles defense.

The fact that you had to say Jonathan Martin and 49ers O-line in the same post says it all.

 

[Marciano490]

Nice block, Foles.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Great catch, but that ball never crossed the line.

 
That was my first thought.
 
Then again, the end zone scoring rules are so fucking byzantine that I'm sure I am missing something.

 

[Tony C]

Is it time for folks who ridiculed the Caldwell hire in Detroit to eat their words?

(I may have been one of those people, btw.)

 Yes....the entire critique of Caldwell came down to his lack of expression on the sideline. Pretty weird coming from Pats' fans.
 
 

So, exactly what the hell happen on Bridgewater's Pro Day???

 
God knows...but made no sense. I don't know much about Bortles, but I stick by my call of TB as best QB in the last draft. The Jets coulda had him! But instead they went for the immortal headhunting Calvin Pryor, lol.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Now staley hurt?

 

[Freddy Linn]

Great catch, but that ball never crossed the line.

 
Doesn't have to.  Ask the Jets re: Stafford.

 

[Phragle]

Hey, whenever Donald Brown wants to stop sucking donkey dick that would be great.

 
Yeah this is brutal. They seem determined to throw it, but Browns YPC isn't helping.
 

Toby Gehart sucks. How is he getting 4th and 1 carries?

 
Dollar bills yall?
 

The fact that you had to say Jonathan Martin and 49ers O-line in the same post says it all.

 
I guess you could say Jonathan Martin is getting bullied. Hhahaha, amirite?

 

[johnmd20]

Nice pass Foles.

 

[Marciano490]

Nice throw, Foles.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Quality pass, bro
 
This has not been a quarterbacking clinic.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Foles just got blown the fuck up

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Another exemplary pass from CK.  He looks like fucking EJ Manuel out there.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Anquan Boldin is fucking awesome

 

[Marciano490]

Poor Harbawwww.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Poor Harbawwww.

Fan the flames (Harbaugh and communicating with his players).

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

I love watching Riley Cooper get stuck by multiple d-backs (even if one of them is the reprehensible Culliver)

 

[johnmd20]

Thank God the Vikes didn't run Gehert there. I'm tired of watching him just get jacked up.

 

[johnmd20]

Time of possession for SF. 38 minutes. Philly. 12. WOW.

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

Natural grass? This is field turf.

 
Let's not let facts get in the way of a half-assed post.

 

[Ed Hillel]

What was Chip Kelly thinking? It's not like you should be banking on a kicker missing from 50 nowadays anyway.

 

[johnmd20]

Moronic choice.

 

[Marciano490]

Bridgewater being carted off, anyone see what happened?

 

[shawnrbu]

He wants to win the game with less than 15 minutes of possession.

 

[shawnrbu]

Bridgewater being carted off, anyone see what happened?

 
He is being put into Canton.

 

[Al Zarilla]

 
Moronic choice.

Not rolling out Kaepernick there was moronic too.

 

[Caspir]

Kelly bailed out by Kaepernick's inability to count. 

 

[mauf]

Bridgewater being carted off, anyone see what happened?

Ankle injury he had late in the last drive must have stiffened up on the bench.

 

[Marciano490]

Shawn - shouldn't he throw a TD first?

 

[johnmd20]

Blair Walsh crushes one to put the team up by 10.

 

[Marciano490]

Foles' deep ball is positively Bradyesque today.
