I saw the same Kubiak that I knew from Houston. Easily moved between the 20s, stalling out in the redzone. All those stuffs at the 1 yard line reminded me of the 2009 Cardinals game.

They were up 2 TDs though, but the Steelers (and the league hopefully) caught on that they need to cover the TEs and they're good.

This seems pretty typical of Kubiak - not sure what it is, but his teams' yardage always outperforms their scoring. On a side note, this makes Justin Tucker an ideal fantasy pick at kicker.

Disappointing Gordon will likely still miss half the season.

Yup, more than half. 10 game suspension.

NFLPA distributed the following news release today:

NFL PLAYERS VOTE TO ADOPT NEW DRUG TESTING POLICIES

Substances of Abuse, Performance Enhancing Drug Policies will now feature neutral arbitration
WASHINGTON – The NFLPA Board of Representatives tonight voted to approve new policies for both substances of abuse and performance enhancing drugs.

“This is an historic moment for our Players and our League,” said NFLPA President Eric Winston. “We have collectively bargained drug policies that will keep the game clean and safe, but also provide our players with an unprecedented level of fairness and transparency. Players should be proud of their union for standing up for what was best for the game.”

“We stood up and fought for what was right,” said DeMaurice Smith, NFLPA executive director. “Twenty-five years ago it was NFL players that set out to make the game clean by asking for and collectively bargaining the first drug testing policy in professional sports. Today, this union and these player leaders have approved a policy that will serve the game well for generations of players to come.”
Important changes include:

· NEUTRAL ARBITRATION: An Independent Arbitrator will hear appeals for positive test violations of both Substances of Abuse and Performance Enhancing Drug Policies. The NFL and NFLPA will jointly select, approve and pay for retention of 3-5 arbitrators.

· AMENDING mar1juana POLICIES: The threshold for a positive test for mar1juana will increase to 35 ng/ml from the previous limit of 15 ng/ml. There will be additional steps for players who test positive for the substance before suspension.

· RETROACTIVITY: Discipline of players for certain violations in the 2014 League Year will have their discipline adjusted by certain aspects of the new policies.

· DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE: Players successfully rejected the league’s proposal to issue discipline upon arrest, prior to adjudication. A two-game suspension will be issued upon conviction or plea agreement for violations of law involving alcohol and driving.

· AMPHETAMINES: During the off-season, a first time positive test for amphetamines without a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) will now be evaluated under the Substances of Abuse Policy. During the season, a positive test without a TUE will continue to be a violation of the Performance Enhancing Drug Policy.

· HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE TESTING: Testing for hGH will occur in the 2014 season. Players have the right to challenge any aspect of the science of the hGH isoforms test. The collection of blood specimens is prohibited on game days.

· DISCIPLINE FOR BREACHES OF CONFIDENTIALITY: The NFL and NFLPA will have the right to retain independent investigators to review cases where player confidentiality as related to the drug policies has been breached. Employees of the NFL/NFLPA/Clubs, players, certified contract advisors (agents) and policy administrators found to be in violation will face fines up to $500,000 and/or termination or other discipline.

Just move on to Kirk Cousins, Washington. He's good and Griffin just can't stay healthy.

Native Americans put the voodoo curse on the Redskins franchise.
