@Crackleslap Seahawks at Dallas. GET SOME

Dallas will lose! Heard it here first.

[Skayaq]

Week 1: @ Bengals
Week 2; vs. Browns
Week 3: @ Jaguars(London)
Week 4: vs. Steelers
Week 5: @ Raiders
Week 6: vs. Bears
Week 7: @ Vikings
Week 8: vs. Dolphins (TNF)
Week 9: @ Titans
Week 10: Bye
Week 11: @ Packers
Week 12: vs. Texans (MNF)
Week 13: vs. Lions
Week 14: @ Steelers
Week 15: @ Browns
Week 16: vs. Colts
Week 17: vs. Bengals

Yet again we play Bengals in w17, but at least it is at home this time. But other than that, the schedule is fine for me, good mix of home and away, late bye.

oh yeah, almost forgot, I hope we bring out our all black unis for that MNF game.

Is this the third season in a row we're playing Baltimore?

Is this the third season in a row we're playing Baltimore?

Probably, if you keep ending up in the same spot in the division, that's what happens. It's the reason the Patriots have played Denver for the last 5 years I think.

[Grube]

Could be worse, this is the 7th year in a row Denver plays NE, 5th in a row playing Indy and 4th in a row playing Cinci. At least the NE streak will most likely be over after this year.

Previously all but confirmed, but Reggie McKenzie stated the deadline for Lynch is the draft.

[xskarma]

It's so damn quiet football wise.

Apart from some mild controversy about what the Browns will do at 1, there's not really been anything noteworthy going on in like a week. Not used to that this close before the draft. Usually there's plenty of stuff from players and teams, but it's been ridiculously tame this year.

I guess the Kizer "I've got Brady's mind and Cam's body" thing lead to some raised eyebrows, but he's the consensus like 4th QB in a bad QB class, that's not exactly all that newsworthy in my opinion.

So, am I missing something or is it indeed this quiet this year?

[Vetali]

another year, another Florida draft prospect in hot water.

When is the Draft happening?

[Crackleslap]

When is the Draft happening?

April 27, so not long to go.

April 27, so not long to go.

On a Thursday? Huh, thought it would be on like a Sunday.

[Crackleslap]

On a Thursday? Huh, thought it would be on like a Sunday.

Well it spans a couple of days, so I guess they wanted most of it to elapse on the weekend. Though the interesting stuff happens on Thursday though surely? (It ends Saturday)

Ah, I always forget that.

[Pendulous]

Whoa, I'm off Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. How did that happen?

[xskarma]

This is the schedule for the Draft:

Same, managed to get this week off, debating draft food for Thursday night.

Needs to be something that can't be wolfed down in 15 minutes, we're not picking early this year.

That makes me happy

[xskarma]

Jabril Peppers was apparently an idiot too. Got busted for diluted sample, which makes the fact he looked bigger at the combine while still being really fast suddenly a LOT more suspicious.


Patriots nabbed RB Gillislee from the Bills on a 2 year 6 million deal. Bills get a 5th round pick in return. The same thing happened with Chris Hogan last year, and that turned out REALLY well so hopeful that this pick up pans out similarly.

On the flipside of that deal, Patriots now only have:

3.72
3.96
4.131
5.183
6.200
7.239

6 selections in the draft (round, pick number). They still have like 25 open spots on their roster, meaning that unless they trade down a bunch they are going to end up with almost 20 spots for rookie free agents after the draft. Going to be pretty damn busy in the hours after the draft ends.

[Pendulous]

Only fitting that Ware retires a Cowboy. he got his ring in Denver, but he is a Cowboy.

Rumor is that Adrian Peterson is nearing a deal with the Saints for 3 million.

[xskarma]

Rumor is that Adrian Peterson is nearing a deal with the Saints for 3 million.

Which is less than the Saints are paying Mark Ingram. Brought in as the back up, which is exactly what he needs to be right now till he proves otherwise.
