He's back! Maxx Crosby merged superthread

[Corleone]

Tank is full speed ahead!

[Corleone]

The move is going to be investigated by the league is my bet. They are going to want to view the medical records, and likely interview several people including Crosby and Carroll. We better have documented the shit out of this.

KC shut down Reshee Rice two weeks ago for a concussion, so the league can get f[raiders_icon]cked.

I do not think the legitimacy of shutting Maxx down will be questioned. Non issue.

This helps, but we still need to see if Geno hits the first batter.

The only difference between shutting down Crosby and shutting down other players is that he's vocal about always wanting to play. The team needs to give less of a shit about what he wants - including when he wants to play 100% of snaps. He'd be a better and healthier player with more rest but he'll never make that good choice on his own.

yea, but made it official this week, not saying the league can get f[raiders_icon]cked, that should happen weekly and publicly but that is a story for another time.

A few years back the eagles benched hurts in week 17 of a close game for no apparent reason other then losing on purpose. This was right before they got good. The loss ended up moving them from pick 9 to pick 6.

Half their team (along with hurts) had more or less called it a tank job. Pederson explanation: sudfeld (backup) had been with the team for a while and Pederson thought it’d be nice to give his backup QB his moment.

The NFL found no wrongdoing or attempt to lose on purpose.

I think we can rest easy on this one. Unless Geno starts throwing backwards out of our own end zone all game… the NFL basically has a stance that setting a bad lineup is never proof of losing on purpose.

I'm not sure anything awful that Geno could do at this point could be presented as evidence that he's doing anything other than being Geno.

Every year teams sit guys that would otherwise play once they’re out of contention. People only pay close attention to it when they’ll have one of the first 2 or 3 picks.

I'm really wondering if fwe treat this game like a preseason game and sit the starters after the first quarter. Wouldn't surprise me if that were the plan (it should be).

Shutting him down makes even more sense

At this point really all that’s left is Jeanty. Which 100% we should sit… guys taken enough abuse this year.

It will suck if the giants starters only play 1 series.

Just give him 6 carries and pass the ball 45 times.

Draw plays on 3rd and 18s. That always works.

[LayneStaley]

The Giants are tanking just as bad if not worse than we are. However IF there was an investigation into anyone tanking it would only happen if the Raiders lose.

That’s my Conspiracy Theory.

NY will run the ball every down and we will pass the ball every down. That’s how the tank off will go imo.

lol, is "conspiracy theorist" taboo or something? how dare someone think differently...

Without having to rehash the whole thing, I think that if you go back a page or two, you will find the beginning and the crux of what was being discussed.
