[quote=BigHairedAristocrat;956417]Say it aint so! just yesterday Chris Russell said he would be shocked if Fletcher didnt go. Do you really think the Iron Mans streak is going to end?[/quote]

I think he'll try to, but I can't say it looks promising right now. And why force it with the bye right around the corner followed by a huge stretch of games

[quote=SmootSmack;956416]Y'all realize that for the first time since 2007 we're likely not going to see London Fletcher take the field as a Redskin on Sunday?[/quote]

I say retire his number! sorry some cross post humor there.

Maybe he can go out and take the first snap - even though i feel like that is cheating.

I think its worth the use of a gameday roster spot. Its improved lately with some pro-bowl nods, but Fletcher has not recieved his due over his exceptional career. Id love him to continue the streak until the day he retires.

Yeah good point. I think you changed my opinion of it being "cheating". He has been so overlooked that it could be considered an honerary gesture.

I was looking more at the angle of the team offering it up as a way of saying thank you. This is all provided its not something that has him out multiple weeks.
Edit: i know Fletch wouldnt care. But i do remember recently seeing them ask him about the last game he missed and he said they started the game in a particular scheme that kept him on the sideline and he was like wtf? But he laughed about it.

How bad is Fletcher's injury? Depending on the severity I could see him trying to play on it. At least for a few series.

Is that a common occurrence with players? The balance issue? What could that mean?

Maybe he could take over as DC. j/k

Yeah the balance issue is scary. As much as I hate to say it, maybe Fletch's body is telling him it is time to hang it up. I hope it is nothing serious.

He’s got some problems with his balance. It was Monday evening when I found out,” Shanahan said, via Tarik El-Bashir of CSNWashington.com. “[B]Before we say we’re worried, let’s get a review from the doctors[/B] and see what they have to say. We’ll know more tomorrow.”
Good advice......

[quote=NC_Skins;956194]I think this game comes down to how many times Kyle throws a INT or fumbles the ball. If we can keep his turnovers down, we'll win.[/quote]

:laughing-

Nice one.
