Revenue is only part of the equation, it needs to show expenses and a net income.

6 games Hobspin, if you going to count today and gameday to spin the predicament they find themselves in.

I don't know that but my logic says their overhead doesn't come too close to what they take in, everything included. Plus Mikey isn't known as a spender, so i'm guessing his bank account is pretty fat. 

The stadium upgrades were almost certainly a loan and not paid for in up front money.

You don't count today. Five 24 hour cycles from right now, they'll be in the 2nd quarter.

If you are counting "from right now" you are counting today....

Jamar is competitive he’s not gonna miss a game and have stats.

We'll see tomorrow. He's held in / out / in longer than anyone I can remember in recent history.

We aren’t the Chiefs

We don’t have the refs and a crazy defense to offset losing our star WR


If we lost Chase we would essentially be the Seahawks. Like you can get to the playoffs consistently but you aren’t doing shit and you honestly should probably tank for a year to get a better player

many of us are not "mad as hell"..we believe in the process..many other great players on this team..we will not "suck" without chase if that be the case

Seems unlikely but you have to remember that Mike doesn’t have the money that other owners have from outside entities and he was only worth about 925 million eight years ago.

that is utter nonsense,,even if he was flat broke ..which he is far from not...his team is worth over 4 billion and could borrow a carload of cash  within hours

So this moment right now is 24 hours long?

I’m 99% sure he will play on Sunday I just can’t see him missing games he might be stubborn and money driven but I think he wants to go down as a great player.

I’m also 95% sure a deal gets done before then anyway so we are worrying about nothing.

I think as fans we have a right to be pissed off if it’s true he held in while waiting for the Lamb deal to get done first he should have trained and then if the FO dragged their feet about doing the contract after Lamb signed his that’s when you stop.

If we win the whole thing in February and Chase has gone for 1500 yards nobody will give a shit that all this happened.

Let’s just see what the rest of the week brings.

No idea if any of these guys can carry the ball 20 times to grind out yards to keep a series going and to get the tough yards especially in this division and you have only one other WR that's a real threat down the field. Chase is an essential part to both make the playoffs and certainly to make a deep run.

I would disagree. All teams have holes and issues even top tier team. The Bengals are a top tier team without chase barn. Injuries.

You set all these standards and brought up something about 24 hours. I have no idea what your argument is...

I do know that if you are talking about a moment "right now" you are talking about a moment "today"....

So something that is happening tomorrow is 2 days away. You can come in here Saturday and say 'hey guys, Bengals game, only 2 more days'.

I mean, Green Bay's is, but because they are publicly owned.  But not sure how much of that is applicable here.

OMG

Don't be ungrateful. I was just trying to help you add days.... 6 more days is better than 5 which was better than 4 wasn't it? 

If it was Saturday I'd say a game was tomorrow. You'd say it was 2 days away it sounds like (today and tomorrow?, or maybe go by hours, a game "today"?). But who really knows what you are arguing. I don't count today or game day. So when I say it's in 4 days, after 4 more days we have a game.

For the sake of having Chase back we can say he'll be ready in 6 days. Or 5. Whatever it takes to calm nerves.

Having Chase makes us better, but this is a damn good team. Folks are just upset.

It's funny how the term "total team game" get used and omitted depending on one's hero. 

We're a playoff contender without Chase, but a Super Bowl contender with him.

That's why some a desperate to get it done.
