Washington & Philly get Pittsburgh without Bell

[theebs]

Le'veon bell is suspended 4 games. This means washington and Philly get to play pittsburgh one of the more difficult games on the schedule without one of the best offensive players in the league.

Coming back from that knee injury IMO put him in that category of prove you are as good as you used to be. Not everyone recovers like Adrian Peterson(still wondering how he did that recovery).

Delangeo Williams stepped up nicely for them last year. I don't think there is much of a drop-off TBH.

My conspiracy theory tells me the schedule planners under direction of Mara had inside knowledge of this......

Just kidding, we know that's not true, but just thought I would throw it out there...or maybe, they just doctored the test at this point.....

Hey we have 6 days to TC, my mind is wandering at this point.

There is no redeeming today's pro athletes.

Idiots.

I dont think either team holds up against pittsburgh even without bell.

And he didnt fail a test, he didnt report for it.

Speaking of Bell: Will the Burg Nation go all are team is doomed are ownership is gutless, thug inablers the way Cowboy fans do when things like this happen?

Or will fans and media of league go easy on the sainted Rooney's and only attack this story from how this impacts the Steelers from an on the field stand point and not the moral fabric of the franchise, the way they would if this were one of Jerry Jones's players?

not showing up for a test is an automatic F.

Agreed. Williams was fantastic last year and should be plenty productive.

They've been in 3 of the last 11 super bowls, what do their fans (or media) have to complain about. If this franchise was ever winning anything of significance or competing at that level the fans wouldn't say anything.

Things happen for a reason, skins are overhyped and phillys best RB is sproles lol

 

[DogFace]

They'll kill Philly and beat Washington too.

This is about perception and how the Cowboys are portrayed in media vs other franchises that the media want to protect and maintain a holy image of.

They have won games without him before.

I have absolutely no idea how drug teating works?

See ESPN'a coverage of Roethlisberger's incident years ago. Therein lies your answer.

Do you routinely type cast tens of thousands of people from the actions of a few?

You must be a delight at the dinner table.

So what you're saying is the running back position is..... Fungible?
