Apparently he's been on Adderall..

Deuces..

I figured he found some reindeer antlers that Ray-Ray left behind.

The Ravens last 4 games are Dolphins, Jaguars, Texans, & Browns. Not sure him missing anything would affect the outcome of those games? All are winnable with or without him.

Playing in Miami will be no easy task.

It's true that of the remaining North schedules, the Rats have the easiest one. But Fins and Texans are away games and won't be push overs, especially the Fins as they are a wild card team right now. Browns, they may be out of it by then however the Rats only beat them by 2 the last time. The only real gimme game is Jax. Losing Ngata should hurt some.

Speaking of the Clowns, why did they start this QB carousel while they are still in the hunt for the division title? Nevermind, I guess its because they are the Clowns.

Hoyer got hurt. I don't think they really wanted a QB controversy but there you go. /OT

He got benched for ****** play.

But they're starting him again next week so I don't think it's really a carousel

Until Hoyer's next ****** play or INT, then everyone will start yelling for Johnny Bench. It's inevitable.

 

[scstillerfan]

Losing Ngata is a big deal for the Rats. I think other teams will run like hell on them now.

 

[FordFairLane]

Yeah, I think Ngata kept CJ Mosley clean so I will be curious if his play drops now that he will be forced to shed some blocks.

Haloti Ngata is a disruptive pass rusher also that bats down passes and tips for INT's. With his presence it allows for guys like Dumervil and Thuggs to get loose on the outside rush. He's very effective and gave Brees pressures the Steelers were unable to match.
Along with the Rats suspect secondary the loss of Ngata is going to be problematic.

This.

You see how bad our defense has looked when McClendon went down? And he his is no where near the talent level of Ngata.

 

[Spike]

Apparently he's been on Adderall..

How many would he have to take for it to affect him?

What was he doing, crushing them up and snorting them?

 

[Drink IRON City]

rayray, forgot to explain the flushing part of the ANTLER regiment.




Salute the nation

 

[deljzc]

I don't think Adderall qualifies as a performance enhancing drug anymore by the NFL.

If he tested positive for Adderall it would be under the substance abuse policy.

I think Ngata flat out lied to the media and no one is following up on this? How isn't this a big story?

and all but the jags could be losable with or without him. The Texans have a great weapon if Foster is healthy and Watt is disruptive as hell on defense (as well as a real solid red zone target on offense)

 

[Ironcitysteelers]

Another deer penis victim.

 

[tapeANaspirin2it]

It's a huge loss for them. Big blow to their run defense. It also makes it easier to fan out and help with the edge rushers if they don;t have to worry about Ngata up the middle.

This should make every game except Jax much tougher for them.

 

[Wingman]

If I read that correctly it was for four games, so if the gavens get into the playoffs would he be eligible to return?

Yes, provided the 4-game started imeadiately. 4 and done, not just for Ngata, but hopefully for the entire organization. If our STEELERS get on a roll, anything is possible. I never hope for injuries to other teams player, this is like an injury, but one can prosper for the disadvantage.

They could very well lose THREE out of these four. The Dolphins, Texans and Browns.

 

[Omar10213245]

I fully expect the dolphins to come out big in this game against the rats. They have a ferocious pass rush headed by cameron wake, ol joey is gonna be sucking his thumb and cryin' for mama. They owe the ravens a beatdown
