What I can’t stand is the players association willingness to defend this scumbag. I guess they have to but it’s still gross and not a good look. 

Yeah the NFLPA going from an idea of unionizing and protecting players health and whatever to better call saul defense lawyers is pretty lame. They should have their own internal guidelines of how to handle misconduct before it even gets to this level of representing guys. At least like "this is out of our bounds, good luck explaining your weird personal poo in court"

When the OP isn't bright enough to realize the appeal is to make the suspension LONGER lol.

Yeah I comprehended that part just fine. My question is in regards to the appeal possible allowing Watson to play while until its resolution.

It sounds like the first 6 games won't be affected by any appeal.

There is a remote possibility for that if he or the NFLPA were to secure an injunction that prevented the suspension from starting.

That's highly unlikely though given that neither party had expressed a desire to appeal the original suspension, only a lengthened one.

How about the possibility he serves 6 games, and then plays a couple while waiting for the court verdict, and then gets the full year suspension and sits again?

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc.

      Crazy stat

      By Manna · Posted

      The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
