The fins have the Pats in week 17.  The way things are going, the Pats will have homefield locked up by then.  Kraft orders Belicheat to lose the game to deny the fish their franchise QB. 

I was actually a little worried about Bell when I saw the schedule for this year. He's not been Bell this year, though. Guy is averaging 2.9 YPC and hasn't had a run longer than 13 yards all year. Even receiving he's at a career low of yards per catch.

It looks like the year off didn't do him any favors.

OR maybe it's just that this is the first time he's had to run behind an OL that isn't allowed to hold on every single play, and is finding out it's a whole lot harder.

They'll win some games. Including the one against the Bengals. Williams familiarity with Dalton and co will play a role.

Bengals 1-15, unless we make a star out of Rosen (which isn't out of the question).

Bengals 2nd overall pick.

Mono is serious for a football player. With an enlarged spleen, he is one QB hit away from potentially dying. They will wait until that is 100% gone. It's not a "tough-it-out" kinda thing.

Then once he's fully recovered from the mono, he has to put back on weight/muscle (which he will have lost a good amount of). It's not like recovering from a knee injury where you can still work out the rest of your body and swim or whatever. Mono will shut down all your workouts, so he will be a couple months without even jogging or throwing a football.

Even then he's not guaranteed to be 100% energy-wise. Remember that Bronson Arroyo got mono with the Reds and he wasn't right all year long, leading the league in earned runs allowed and home runs allowed.
