The Forgotten "Elephant In The Room"

What worries me the most...

Since this by-law revision to the substance-abuse policy is brand new, that makes Bell the "test case" for it. I wouldn't be surprised to see the NFL set the standard for it by suspending Bell for ALL 4 games.

Oh NO!

Surprised nobody posted this already... I'm sure everyone knows, but for those that don't:
Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell Suspended For Three Games

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

It's official... 3 games

D-Will & Harris shouldn't have any problems carrying the load during that stretch. Still wouldn't be surprised to see a draft pick brought in for competition. I'd like to see Harris pushed harder to retain his position.

Time to earn that money!!!! Hopefully they can contribute enough to get us over the hump of those 3 games!!!

Goodell so fuckin sucks.... his bitch boy on his lovers team (Kraft) got what??? One game...bullshit!!!

Its always good to have suspensions during the beginning of the season because most OC's hold out on their better gameplans, not playing all their cards so-to-speak. So defenses have little to no film to study. Hopefully Haley sends them out firing bombs early. Put the defenses on their heels to give D-Will & Harris better opportunities.

I agree... Give them a game plan that will just shock the shit out of everyone. Bell can shock the shit out of people on talent alone, these guys give them the worksthey might need the extra help that Bell wont need!!!!

Shock and awe. Haleys MO. On the upside, we should only have one divisional match up during those three games. I'm not worried so much about conference and non-conference opponents. Although I do hope they power bomb the Chiefs. The East is too tough right now to be dropping divisional matchups.

NFL will tread carefully when considering Steelers' RB Le'Veon Bell's appeal to 3-game suspension - Behind the Steel Curtain

A reduced suspension from 3 to 2 games would certainly help! But I'm not going to hold out hope for this. Like I've said many times before, this is a brand new by-law so the NFL is going to want to set the standard by making an example out of Bell. We should consider ourselves fortunate that it wasn't the full 4-games that were possible under the new by-law.

3 months into his probation... no hiccups to report!

NE is now going to be w/o Brady so this changes the odds in that one for sure...even w/o Bell.

yea kinda lucky but they know an appeal is coming its standard practice .. the nfl front office seam to kinda like bell too ..he is basically a good kid

i believe we win this one now

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

i believe we win this one now

I believed we would have won regardless... They had a lot of defensive turnover this offseason. PIT offense is licking their chops! It will still be a good game. Garappollo is a decent player, and NE is a system-QB oriented offense. But I don't think they have the firepower to keep up with PIT, even without Bell.

Homer-vision is always 20/20

Be ready for Patsie fans to say something along the lines of: "This wouldn't be a contest if TB was playin".

Idk what to think even w/o Brady...it's always hard to win in NE.

Just scanning the AFC, most of the top playoff teams from LY are patching some holes...The Steelers have a solid chance even with this schedule to reach the ACFCG imo...I'm excited to see what this DEF is going to look like.

I'd rather he said that then the Ricky Williams' version of I can't do without weed even if it costs me my football carrer or a big portion of it.

Well in this day and age...taking a trip to CO or WA to "unwind for week" can have a whole new meaning...lol.

I think he'll stay clean at least until he doesn't need to anymore...hopefully.
