If Philip Rivers…

[AROS]

…Comes out of retirement at 44 for the Colts and beats us at home Sunday I am going to lose my shit.

That is all.

 

[soxhawk]

Would expect him to back up Rypien only. But yeah I'd lose it too if either did well vs us.

 

[DeSeahawk]

Tell ya what, Boss .......... if the unthinkable happens and you lose your shit, we will set up a Go Fund Me to get you a new one. Nobody should be shitless.
Seriously though, that situation is SO insane. 1 year out of the game ? Sure I can see a guy doing that. But 5 ??? And for him to play well enough to beat Mike's defense is silly. Let's see if he gets signed first . I think the result would be sad, watching a formerly great qb go out looking like a chump.

Reports are that if he does sign they’d want him on the practice squad to start preparing and would be unlikely to play this week.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

NFL Network just reported that he did sign to the practice squad today.

I dont think so. What's the point otherwise.

Fact

Phillip Rivers has been signed to the Colts practice squad. That is still a long ways away from stepping onto the field on Sunday

 

[AROS]

Yeah it’s not happening. Whomever the Colts play a week from Sunday might just face him though.

This is unlikely - but yeah it would be a disaster. If somehow he would start - I may actually be serious worried about a 44 year old not used to physically playing for 5 years getting sent into permanent retirement by this defense.

 

[TwilightError]

Is it unethical to hit an old man, a father of ten, a grandfather? This is the type of question the Seahawks D now has to consider…

Should have called Andrew Luck, or Colin Klappersnatch, or Clam Poopin.

They did not want a Colin Oscopy running their offense.

Id loan him one of my shits.

 

[Atradees]

They couldn't get Bradshaw? We could beat Rivers on any of his best days. Wonder is he still has that shot put delivery?

 

[OneLofaTatupu]

After us thevy got 9ers jags texans

Ouch

 

[glenwo2]

So we can now all exhale and expect Riley Leonard to get a very rude welcome to the NFL this weekend.

 

[SNDavidson]

I love this so much because this guy is such a competitor of course he's got a game left in there lol this is awesome. This is not a PC defense, the line up and play style a la the Texans - who remind me a lot of the lob(light), that can get upset by cerebral veteran qbs and good defenses. Rivers is the classic era vs the modern defense this is incredible lol.

 

[soxhawk]

Giants should release RW to make this interesting.
