I just lowered my already pessimistic low expectations for this year. I had us at 4 wins, I just lowered that to 2 wins.
The way this franchise is cursed, AJ is as good as retired.

They stuck with Gronk through many injuries until he retired.

This team is a shit storm, changes be damned.
And the storm has nothing to do with Bo Jackson. It's name is....Mike Brown.

Well, I wore it and they lost. I wore it the next week and they lost. I said hey, this shirt sucks. Soooo, I wore a different shirt underneath and they won. Then I reasoned with myself and said, "It's not the shirt dumbass. Stop being superstitious."
So I wore it again, they lost. And again, they lost. So then I decided not to wear it anymore. They kept losing. The shirt took over and the football devil came through it. Then, week before last I wore it at night because I had the AC up to high (not turning it down either cause, well, it has to be antartica when I go to bed). Wore it 4 nights in a row, had the shittiest week I've had in a long time. So, either A. I'm going to burn the shirt, or B. I'm could donate it. Option C. would be giving it to either a Browns or Steelers fan. I prefer Steelers fan because Browns are just a story.
Either way, I gotta get rid of that shirt!
Nah, don't sweat it. We've firmly established that the fate of this team wrests solely on grampahol's decision to go fishing.

No way a team with AJ Green, Boyd, Mixon, Dalton, Atkins, Dunlap, Jackson, Bates, Kirkpatrick, and Dennard win 2 games. Not even 4.
I get pessimism, but I think the floor is 5-6 wins. The ceiling is 10 or so. They'll probably win 7-8.
Green sprained his ankle. If it's going to happen in camp, you want it to happen early so he can recover.

So was Eifert's. Jesus.
We need to know which ligament and what grade to determine a prognosis, but their not going to release that hiding behind HIPAA. But, just announcing he has an injury is a violation of HIPAA.

Man, I've questioned a lot of the team's decision making with regard to free agents and staffing, but even without that, their luck has been some shit.
I don't quite think that this team is a 3-4 win team if AJ Green and Andy Dalton are healthy. I think that if they can manage to stay on the field all year, they are probably at the least a 6 win roster. Maybe 8. Maybe more if a few things break their way, maybe less if the o-line is as atrocious as some of us believe it is.
All that said, without AJ, this team is done. It's a 3 win team. It's a tank for Tua year if he cannot stay on the field.
Have to hope against hope that this is something he can recover form before September starts.

Yea, I'm just glad it's a low ankle sprain, hope he can be back by the 3rd preseason game, let's hope he'll be/stay healthy for the regular season. I'm much more concerned with his reoccurring "Turf Toe" problem.

Marvin wilted in big games. Zac Taylor wilts in practice.
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.

Maybe we can save some money on Greens extension since he is becoming injury prone.

He's a top 3 receiver in the league, and you want to let the lease expire because he sprained his ankle? This board is really sad sometimes.....

AJ Green has not finished in the top 5 for Yards, Receptions or Touchdown once in the last 5 NFL seasons
And for his entire (Very good) career, He was top 5 in yards/Tds/Receptions ONE TIME - 2013 he was 5th in the league in Receiving Yards
But yes, He is a top 3 WR. Our Fans are hilarious. Just because you say something does not make it true

You can't just look at stats, you have to look at what's going on around the offense as well. Did he have a credible threat on the other side of the field, or a decent tight end to take some pressure off of him? No. Everyone knew Andy was going to have to force it to Green, and he still comes up with it. He's top 3 without a doubt. He just has had a harder work load.
