Casualty of NIL. Paid before he accomplished anything. So he ended up not accomplishing anything. Sad. You hate to see it, but predictable. Not Sydir specifically, but NIL recipients as a group.

NFL type throw...and who is Jamar Denson?

It sucks that we lost, but the players are NOT quitters, so they will be fine. If anything, losing a close game on the road first game of the season shows you a lot about what your strengths and weaknesses are. Strengths: OL better than practice reports...FAR better. Baxter not great, but way better than expected considering his injury. Wingo looked good, physical, fast...every bit as good as Smith. Wisner looked good. Defense was lights out good. I was hoping for a big splash play resulting in a game changing turnover from AntHill, but it never materialized. Guilbeau was our weak point but even he had a good game all things considered. January and Watson were much better than any practice reports led us to believe. LaFau was good all day. CS didn't have his best game, but his competition was very good, so expected. Burke looks good. Weaknesses: Arch missed that first throw and it seemed to affect him after that. His body language and facial expressions were very negative, but at the end he had some step in his step. Not enough misdirection compared to what we've seen from Sark the first 4 years. On the bright side, these threads bring out the quitters and trolls. We may not see you after the 4th game of the year.

What? Is there a game today or something? lol

I'm shocked. Shocked to see that gambling is going on in here!

I'll put in my prediction AFTER the game. lol

August 39 is always my favorite day of the year

Good for him. I wish him well. Would be great for him to have a year where he doesn't get tackled too much and maybe he can mature into the athlete he needs to be in order to play in the NFL.

In golf we take one swing at a time. When it's finished, THEN we have a score. Until then, nothing is accomplished. One step at a time, then AFTER it's all done, take stock in what you've done. If you get ahead of your skis, you will crash. HOOKEM

so we're "Nick'd" up?

I don't think the NFL gives a damn about Heisman or natty when evaluating QBs. I think it's just the Mannings want to take the pressure off of Arch for now...at least as much as possible...and then we'll see what happens after that. Injury free and I think our chances of a natty go WAY UP!

OK, but we already have problems with heat exhaustion

we're playing with house money here, so it doesn't matter...I'd like him, but we're loaded and we're only going to get MORE loaded HOOKEM

Hold the phone. You COULD end up being right, but take it from someone who was told he would die 3 years ago: it ain't over til it's over. God intervenes when it suits HIM and that's that. Baxter is too good an athlete to give up. I suspect that he will recover as long he hangs in there. JMO

He's a tough little guy. He'll be ok. But I'll say a prayer for him anyways.
