And about 18 other teams if this report is true.

A 22-year old with his level of talent is going to have a lot of teams drooling. I’m guessing the situation will begin to solidify in the coming days.

If the rumours that he's going to be only a second are true, make that 31 teams interested.

[eschatological]

So AB is gonna play today in Miami? Seems weird to me. It's not like they need him to win against Miami, and with an investigation pending next week where the NFL is questioning his accuser, I'd think they'd just wait it out a week to see if he's put on the Exempt list.

[eschatological]

Well, I guess that's The Patriot Way (tm).

[xskarma]

Fun fact: The Patriot Way is a media fabrication. No one on the Patriots ever talked about it or detailed what it is. The media came up with it and everyone else has run with it.

But by all means keep on hating. It seems to fuel the team so I'm all for it.

More like it's a player's fabrication. And roughly translates into "They win Super Bowls."





So the Packer's offense looks a lot less concerning than opening night.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuu

The one area we can't use injuries is the O-line and of course that means that last game we lost our RT and this game our LT, Isaiah Wynn, goes to the Lockerroom.

Not good. >.<

Whatever you say bud.

That article just confirms what I said. No one on the Patriots started it, and they actually laugh at the concept behind the scenes.

Once again, my Vikings defense is folding when it matters.

Its all Tedy Bruschi, 99% of the times I've heard it, he said it. So you can say "media" came up with it, but its a former Patriot with a media job so you're not exactly setting anyone straight here.

At least you have Cook.

That's about all you have it seems, but you've got him.

Vikings summed up over the last decade.

Great RB wasted on a mediocre offense that can't pass downfield and an over-rated defense that has the potential to be unstoppable but crumbles in big games.

Honestly that offense by rights should be great. They have a QB who at least won't ruin it for them, an elite WR, and a great RB. You gotta question Zimmer here for running anyone who thinks the pass is a viable play out of Minnesota.

That's been the motto of Vikings football for its entire history: Wasted potential.

If I hadn't just woken up, the Jags/Texans game would put me right to sleep.

Hard to tell how good the Bills are since they're playing the Giants. Poor Saquan bout to pull a "every Dolphins player".

Much rather the Patriot Way than the Buffalo Way.

The Giants are going hard for that top draft pick apparently.

Nah they're just that incompetent. Honestly Shurmur could be the first coach fired this year if this keeps up.

[jeezusisacasual]

Buffalo is playing good football and proving that that Eli is done. As of right now 10 of 20 for 80 yards and a INT.

Uh oh. Big Ben has an elbow injury and is questionable to return.

If this was any other QB I might be more concerned but we know Big Ben's history with "terrible" injuries.

[draynay]

Chargers/Lions game has been interesting, Detroit special teams are an absolute disaster. Refs just imagined a penalty to call back a TD so the game is still close despite the Lions floundering.

Previously the refs actually got a rare correct call, they automatically threw a flag because somebody hit a QB then had a conversation and realized that a shoulder-to-shoulder hit on a non-sliding runner is perfectly legal. Would be nice to see them not stupidly throw those flags, but at least they picked it up, and the state of officiating is such that them managing not to fuck up impresses me.

[Grube]

Kind of surprised the Cardinals/Ravens game is as close as it is. All you have to do against a Vance Joseph defense is throw it to the TE every play.

If I hadn't just woken up, the Jags/Texans game would put me right to sleep.

More exciting than the Broncos/Bears game is probably going to be.
