Are you in favor of resting Dowdle this week?!?

This is the kind of moronic thinking that results in you losing to the Saints... If Rico is able to go, he needs to go

And in terms of the game yesterday, it looks like he got tackled by the balls on one play and that was where he looked hurt for a bit.

Well, that actually makes more sense. A groin injury is not something you want push.

lol I just went off on someone in another thread about being negative after a win. Now we have other talking about resting players? My god we aren’t that good. Would anyone be actually shocked if New Orleans boat races us next week? I don’t think it’ll happen but wouldn’t be shocking. 

I would be, with their offense.  A more likely situation is one of these low scoring games like Jets and yesterday, but I think we can score in the mid to high 20s on them.

I bet that's exactly what the Packers fans were saying last week about the Panthers lol

I thought for sure we would win until the game got closer. Your players seemed like they were confident and ours seemed overconfident from the Pittsburgh win. When Bryce announced he was back it seems like that fired you guys up more. When the first quarter ended scoreless I started to get nervous and end of third I was very nervous. We came out acting like we won the game already very cocky and you guys played inspired football.

It looked like a groin injury he was able to play through. I think that really depends on severity. 

What we don't want is that strain to become a tear. 

I think it's safe to say that the rest of the season without Rico is not likely to end in many more wins.

He looked to be in a lot of pain at times, I was actually surprised to see him in on that TD when like 2 plays before he looked like he badly strained his groin.

It's a catch 22, because you can't sit him right now as he is the offense.  But at the same time, with how much pain he looked in at times, it just feels like he's bound to end up making it worse at some point and missing some time if he keeps the same work load.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't

    • okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.  
    • Jackie, any more reps tomorrow, or is that it for this session?  thanks for the work
    • How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
