Reinhart knows how these things work. He has 2 brothers that have already gone through it. He got sent back to Jr last year. This isn't new to him. He also doesn't really strike me as the type of guy that's going to throw a temper tantrum about it.

He did exactly what was asked of him last year. I'm sure he would do the same this year.

sounds like a drafting issue


you only need to draft
5 rbs
4 wrs
2 te's
2 qbs
1 d
1 k

draft your kicker and d where there is late bye weeks, unless you plug and play each week

if you have a stud qb, ditch the backup after his bye week

if you have a stud te, ditch the backup after the bye week


you should have 1 roster spot where you try to grab the player everyone wants the week before he goes off


it's a simple formula that works well

I mean I'm going to stick up for him right here but when you play with the fourth line players it's kind of hard he needs to be with top players
- gerbe75pts


That's not wrong, but Disco Dan is focusing on winning games. If he needs to be with the top guys right now to develop, then let him be with the top guys and develop in the AHL where he can have 15-18 minutes a game, power play time, and still play at a faster speed than he was in juniors. When he's ready to produce at this level, not just as a product of his linemates, bring him up, plug him into the top 9, and have him force his way up higher.

I'm hoping you're right but even the nicest guys have their flaws like I can bring up Ryan o Reilly he's probably one of the nicest guys but he gets money hungry

If you aren't driven to make as much as possible in the least amount of time to retire early and enjoy life there is something wrong with you.

Yes he is, and he basically said it himself

There is no way Manuel wins that game against Tennessee. The problem with Manuel has been, when things are going well, he plays decent. When things start to go south, he has folded. That's what Taylor has brought in spades so far (understanding a limited sample size) is the ability to make plays when things aren't going well. His problem, right now, is that he has been putting himself in those situations when he shouldn't need to.
- buffalofan19

I'm not sure how this can be said. We laid a whopping 14 points on them. Partly because Taylor was a mess for 3 quarters yet again.

I'm all for Taylor being this teams QB, but we keep treating Manuel like he's Brandon Weeden and hasn't won a game in years. It's getting kind of ridiculous.

Nothing I'd ever say to give these animals any more ammo then they already have.


And my stupid stuff was always centered around drinking, doing acid(and the like), and racing(owned and still own a 500 horsepower truck) at your age.

That right there just completely wrong in my book you should enjoy the stuff you love I mean really 6 million not enough this is ridiculous I'm sure everyone on this board would love to play in the NHL and make $600,000 a year that's probably it but some of these players are downright greedy

While I don't doubt the drive is there, O'Reilly's biggest attribute is the ability to convince the establishment of his profession that he's worth far more than he really is.

This wouldn't work well in my league. We start 3 WRs and have a flex spot but only start 2 RBs. It's also PPR.

It's part of why the fact that my RBs suck isn't hurting me, since my WRs are insanely ridiculous.

I have zero confidence in Manuel being able to elevate his game when things go south. Just about all of his decent performances have been when there has been little to no adversity and things were going well in all phases.

Yep and the lack of talent/drive is why we don't.


I don't begrudge one how they make their money just like I don't judge.

He's such a great talent I just can't believe he only has one Super Bowl I'm hoping by the end of his career he has like five but his team just chokes in the playoffs

McCoy is playing this week - per boobie Dixon.

Tyrod will give an answer by friday but is feeling better everyday and has called people around the league that have had this injury to better understand what he should do. Sammy is confident he will play. Maybe this week isnt going to be so bad after all.
