Simms Questionable/Orton Probable

Safe to say the starting QB is more or less named?

Orton was named

as starter earlier today (as per Denver Post). They said that would only change if he had last minute stitches issue or something.

Shayne Graham

Interesting that Cincy’s kicker, who has not played all pre-season, was not listed.

by Endzone on Sep 11, 2009 4:06 PM MDT reply actions

According to this, he'll play

Kicker Shayne Graham missed the final three exhibition games because of a groin injury but practiced throughout the week and will play Sunday. “Shayne had a good week,” coach Marvin Lewis said.

Andre Smith's absence sucks for Cincy...

He wasn’t really around in TC, but still that’s unfortunate.

Cincy's Strongside

I know Cincy was really looking forward to Smith shoring up their strongside OT position. Haggan is going to have a field day!

So

The Raiders put Seymour on their list as “reserve/left team.” What does this mean?

Tis better not to throw it to the deep receiver but the open receiver.

by Kfustud on Sep 11, 2009 4:18 PM MDT reply actions

I think he's going to be suspended for the season

I honestly don’t understand why they didn’t talk to him directly FIRST before making that trade, to make sure he was cool with it. They’ll have rights to him next year, and he can’t play anywhere else but Oakland unless they trade those rights, but still, seems like they basically wasted a draft pick.

"doubtful", "questionable", "probable"

Does anybody know the definition of these categories? Are they purely subjective, or are there objective standards for each?

If purely subjective, what’s the incentive for teams to be accurate in classifying the players? Are there consequences for players in each category? For example, can all the players be listed as “doubtful” and then all dress up and play come game time to the surprise of the other team?

by BuckarooBanzai on Sep 11, 2009 5:29 PM MDT reply actions

Good Question

I, too, would be curious about these definitions (especially as they tend to mess with my fantasy teams)…

This may help

The league’s system is pretty straightforward – “probable” means there’s a 75 percent chance of a player being ready to go on Sunday, “questionable” means 50 percent chance of playing, “doubtful” means 25 percent chance of playing, and “out” means out. Prior to the 2004 season, Commissioner Paul Tagliabue sent a memo to each team outlining tightened requirements on reporting injuries. He stated that teams needed to be more specific in their diagnosis, and
issued a warning about the repercussions of falsifying information.

Cincy's Ablity to run on denver..

Questionable.

Ability to keep C Palmer Upright – Doubtful
Ability to disappoint fans early in the season – Probable
Ability to start the season 0-1 – Excellent

probable = there were rumors (which we won’t confirm) that the player might have been injured but we’re not telling you how badly or how fully he may be healed. He will suit up for the game.

questionable = worse than probable but we’re still not telling

doubtful = worse than questionable and we meant business when we said we weren’t telling.

by SlowWhiteGuy on Sep 11, 2009 5:53 PM MDT reply actions

out = everyone knows he's screwed for this week

LMAO, SWG

That pretty much sums it up though.

Can't we just go to playoff hockey injury listings?

Maybe they’re the reason I don’t have any problem with the Patriot method of listing (although, Shanahan used to play those games as well…)

Shoulder Injury: Player tore his groin into three pieces
Back Injury: Player’s wrist was shattered into more pieces than a jigsaw puzzle
Leg Injury: Player’s arm was torn off
Foot Injury: Player just lost 6 teeth and is having emergency surgery to keep his nose on.

Interesting to look back four years ago...

At least read the Belichick / Vick portion.

Jim Mora

Does being too honest run in the family?

Over or under for 3 1/2 stupid things he’ll say this year?

I hope the Ortman has a good game…..

by bears rock on Sep 12, 2009 6:09 AM MDT reply actions

Dnver will win

I will be at the game, they better win. The bungles wont be able to run the ball. Benson is a good back but nobody to block for him. A Smith is a joke. It was a tipical Bungle draft pick. He was in trouble and out of shape. In his contract he will be fined everytime he weighs over 350lbs. Guess what after he signed his contract he wieght 363. Thats just funny
