I wonder if Stanton is really hurt or if they're just keeping him inactive

 so Culpepper can start and there won’t be calls for Stanton to take over during the game.

I think they don't want Stanton to get hurt

If he got in and took one hit, he could go down for good. I look at Michigan running back Sam McGuffie. He probably came back too quickly after his concussions and ended up with three this season.

fluellen

I wish he wasn’t hurt, I was hoping to see him start the rest of the season along with avril to see their potential. From what I’ve seen I think Avril could be a starter, especially with a dominating end on the other side.

I was playing madden this week...

and every time stuart schweigert made a tackle on special teams I laughed my ass off. I think these guys should feel awesome just to be immortalized in video game form. Does this mean that I’ll be throwing to kerry colbert this week.

if we keep playing like this...

we win, problem is we won’t. Gus Frerotte will look like Tom Brady pre-knee on this next drive.

Adrian Peterson will look like Adrian Peterson on this next drive

Dude was always solid at USC. Never got much of a chance in the pros with injuries and such.

Go up top to Calvin on the first play

that we have played our best football against the nfc norths number 1 team. Does that say alot for this division or what.

free agent..

we picked up in like week one or two because dizons either a bust or our coaching staff doesn’t think he has the right personality to play football.
