[Sepholio]

lol this is far from over.

Brady is fucked regardless. Defensive players are going to try and intentionally injure him constantly now. He's going to take a helmet to the knee and/or face within the first couple weeks.

[road doggy dogg]

lol what, no

it's not like Brady fucked some kids or something

I'm pretty sure like 90% of players don't give a fuck

[road doggy dogg]

In fact they're probably glad because this was a pretty big win for the NFLPA over the NFL

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

lol this is far from over.

Brady is fucked regardless. Defensive players are going to try and intentionally injure him constantly now. He's going to take a helmet to the knee and/or face within the first couple weeks.

Hell no. If anything they will treat him with kid gloves. Joe Flaccid and Andrew Fuck might get it.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Don't really see this impacting the final standings at all. With or without Brady I had the Pats penciled in to get at least 12 wins and the AFC East, just like they always do.</font>

[Clerk]

OMG fuck deflate gate who cares the Patriots would have won without the balls being deflated. The patriots destroyed an overrated quarterback and a shit team in general

[owenbrown]

You bandwagoning again, clark?

[Emperor Smeat]

Didn't expect the NFL to backfire that badly with the lawsuit. Got almost everything on their side but pulled their own "Brady" moment with not caring or co-operating with what the judge wanted.

[Clerk]

How?

F*ck Goodell,,,

Ehh bills will still win their division

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

They've had one winning season in a decade and only because the Pats tanked the final game on purpose.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Can the NFL now punish the Colts for the ball that was intercepted? You know. The only ball that actually was under inflated? The Colts must have done it.

[Corndad]

lol this is far from over.

Brady is fucked regardless. Defensive players are going to try and intentionally injure him constantly now. He's going to take a helmet to the knee and/or face within the first couple weeks.

<font color=goldenrod>Whoa, Giants release Steve Weatherford :( despite being a punter he wound up being one of my favorite players on the team. I'll never forget FOX showing him running and screaming "MOTHERFUCKING SUPER BOWL!!!" after the game-winning FG in the NFC Title game.</font>

They cut Hynoski today. So bummed

[Evil Vito]

:lol: <font color=goldenrod>Tebow cut anyway</font>

[Mercenary]

:lol: <font color=goldenrod>Tebow cut anyway</font>

What will Clerk do now?

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>The only reason they would have had for keeping Tebow was to run possible gimmick plays, and doing that means you have all 3 QBs active on your 46-man gameday roster, and it makes little sense for any team to do that. Very few teams bother keeping 3 QBs on their 53-man roster anymore for that reason.

At the same time, Chip Kelly knows that nobody is going to sign Tebow. So if something happens to Bradford they could easily bring Tebow back. He's basically sitting on the Eagles bench for free.</font>

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Still was cut today :(

Looks like he got a year's extra pay though. Hopefully somebody will pick him up for a practice squad or something.

[screech]

I read on SI that because he was on the active roster last year, he (and his family) will be covered under the NFL health insurance for 5 years.

[McLegend]

Teeebowwwwww

[Droford]

49ers didn't have enough Ravens on their team so they traded for one of their Centers

[Droford]

Redskins should pick him up. He's better than all their qbs

[Mercenary]

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2561760-reggie-wayne-cut-by-patriots-latest-comments-and-reaction?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=programming



Well he lasted long

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Was happy to see the Giants cut Adrien Robinson early on in the day. He just hasn't worked out, and Reese has an absolute hard-on for keeping high draft picks for their whole rookie contract because he's convinced they'll eventually pan out.

But then they kept Markus Kuhn and Jayron Hosley.</font> :roll:

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Also do not understand them cutting James Jones at all. He had a really good preseason and Cruz is still hurt.

Would bet money that the Packers scoop Jones back up.</font>

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Hmm? Wayne probably was a double agent.

[Emperor Smeat]

NFL considering changing the way they discipline players as part of the aftermath of Brady winning his court case. Owners could either end up curbing some of Goodell's power for punishments or do nothing since they are unsure if any drastic changes will actually get done.

[ClockShot]

Strangest preseason moves I've seen in a long time. Some are head scratchers.

[ClockShot]

And in strangest of all moves, Broncos waive Montee Ball. Their 2nd round pick back in 2013.

C.J. Anderson is the future, ladies & gentlemen.

[Simple Fan]

And Wisconsin RBs continue to disappoint in the NFL.

[Droford]

So your saying Melvin Gordon gonna be a bust too

[Simple Fan]

I don't know, I'm not real high on him but a lot of people thought Ball was going to be that Wisconsin back that succeeds in the NFL and he's already been cut 2nd year in. Gordon has a good chance with the Chargers but we'll have to wait and see.

[Clerk]

Simple fan if that guy doesn't like you then it's fuck him and move on there's so many people out there that are going to like you for you.

[Simple Fan]

What in the hell are you talking about Clerk ?

[Clerk]

Wow just when I thought Chip Kelly couldn't get any dumber he does it again. First you trade Nick Foles for Sam "Incapable" Bradford. Then you let LeSean McCoy go. Now you cut the best quarterback on your roster? This is why you have to stay as a college coach. You couldn't win in college so what made you think you could make it in the big leagues? Your a joke not only to the NFL but football in general. Lose some fucking weight you lazy bum and study the game a little more and then come back. What a bum.

[Mercenary]

Pats win it all this year, and the meltdown from the haters and NFL will be great

[Clerk]

No the team with the best chance of winning the super bowl is a toss up no dominant teams this year.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Oh right, the season starts tonight.</font>

[screech]

Don't think I could be less interested in a game. My two least favorite teams. Gross.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Hard to imagine anything other than a Patriots blowout tonight tbh. I think the Steelers will be decent as usual but given the circumstances this just seems to have the makings of a total shitshow.</font>

[screech]

Hoping for a tie to embarrass both teams.

[screech]

But you're probably right, Vito

[Emperor Smeat]

<font color=goldenrod>Hard to imagine anything other than a Patriots blowout tonight tbh. I think the Steelers will be decent as usual but given the circumstances this just seems to have the makings of a total shitshow.</font>

Would be really surprised if that happened considering how weak the Pats secondary is at least on paper and compared to last year. They are with the Jets and Ravens games in usually being the hardest games for the Pats whenever they play.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Guess I'll do some predictions:

NFC East:
Cowboys
Eagles
Giants
Native Americans

NFC North:
Packers
Vikings (Wild Card 2)
Lions
Bears

NFC South:
Saints
Panthers
Falcons
Bucs

NFC West:
Seahawks
Cardinals (Wild Card 1)
Rams
49ers

NFC East was a coin flip between Dallas and Philly. Gave the edge to Dallas mainly because I can't count on Bradford's health all year. North has some good teams but I just can't think of a good enough reason to pick against the Packers. South still feels like a terrible division, but I think the Saints will rebound from an off-year last year. Seahawks are another team I feel I have to go with but I don't think the Cards are too far behind them, hence the top wild card spot. Have a really weird feeling about the Vikes this year, though I strongly considered the Lions, Eagles, and Rams for that last wild card.

AFC East:
Patriots
Dolphins (Wild Card 2)
Bills
Jets

AFC North:
Ravens
Bengals
Steelers
Browns

AFC South:
Colts
Texans
Titans
Jaguars

AFC West:
Chargers
Broncos (Wild Card 1)
Chiefs
Raiders

I see no reason to ever pick against the Pats no matter how the teams around them may have improved until I see them actually get knocked off of their perch. The Ravens are resilient and always seem to find their way into the playoffs. I'm going against recent history by not picking more than one team from the North but I can see that division beating the shit out of each other. Colts feel like an easy pick, would have considered the Texans if their QB situation wasn't a dumpster fire. Chargers I think are ready to take the next step and end up ending the Broncos' reign in that division.

Denver still has a ton of talent though so I can't leave them out of January altogether. Then I'll round off the playoff field with Miami just on a hunch, although the Chiefs, Steelers, Bengals, and even Bills gave me some pause.

Oh and Super Bowl...fuck if I know. My first instinct is Packers/Patriots but that just feels like such a ESPN "chalk" pick. So let's go outside the box slightly/all in with my thought that the Bolts are ready to go to the next level and go with Packers/Chargers in SB50. I can't lay money against Rodgers though, so I'll say the Pack win that one.

Didn't put a ton of thought into these but there should be some pretty tight races that go down to the wire.</font>

[Emperor Smeat]

The NFL will suspend Buffalo Bills linebacker IK Enemkpali for the first four games of the season for punching and breaking the jaw of New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith, a person familiar with the decision has told The Associated Press.

The person spoke on the condition of anonymity Thursday because the NFL isn't expected to announce the suspension until Friday.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Isn't the release the punishment? I thought NFL can't add on to what is already done.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I should say...I still feel like they should have enough good pass rushers without JPP, but they sure as shit didn't appear to be ready from anything I saw in preseason, where backups were pushing back the starting D-line without much effort (Markus Kuhn especially).

Tough to see them doing a whole lot against that ridiculous Dallas O-line. Might take a few weeks for the defense to find its way.</font>

Mike Tomlin is nothing but an Eric Foreman lookalike. Fuck him. Sue him for defamation. Sue em all!!!!!!

[parkmania]

"So, Mr. Goodell, the league says the reason that the Steelers got poor reception on their radios last night while the Patriots didn't is because of the atmospheric conditions?"

"Correct."

"And why don't we hear about this happening all the time at other stadiums around the league during similar conditions?"

"Well, it has to do with sunspots."

"Sir the game was played at night."

"Did I say sunspots? I meant lunar gravity."

"Sir, you expect us to believe that in the wake of so many other transgressions by the Patriots organization? I suppose next you tell us to believe in..."

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>not sure how any Giants fan can watch tonight and actually take away positives from the performance. the defense proved they are not ready for crunch time at all and the pass rush is completely non-existent. Dallas' O-line may be great but not even coming close to a sack is pretty humiliating.

and at the end of the day they straight up gave away a game to a divisional rival which will almost certainly come back to bite them down the line.

I realistically thought this team would go 8-8 at best. still well within the range of possibility but 8 wins in the NFC won't get you anywhere regardless.</font>

[Simple Fan]

Dez out 4-6 was weeks with broken bone in his foot.

[Droford]

[McLegend]

Football

[ClockShot]

So, what's this about Eli Manning telling one of his guys not to score?

[McLegend]

Sam Bradford looks he hasn't played a game in two years.

[#1-norm-fan]

So, what's this about Eli Manning telling one of his guys not to score?

Yeah. That was by far the most poorly handled end of a game in NFL history. The guy told his running back NOT to score to put them up by 10 with under 2 minutes left. And then proceeded to throw a pass out of the back of the endzone to stop the clock on third down. lol

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I've defended Eli a ton over the years, mainly with the amount people like to focus on his INTs when a lot of them really aren't his fault. In fact Romo's INTs yesterday looked a lot like what I've seen out of Eli the last few years. Just a lot of unfortunate bounces off of his own receivers.

But the way he handled the end of last night's game was comically bad. And he was explaining himself on Francesa's show today and he just sounded flat-out retarded in trying to do so.

And hell, while telling Jennings to not score was retarded, there was no guarantee he would have made it even if he tried. The Giants have sucked on the goal line for years. But on that third down, christ how do you not at least take a sack? Just dumb.</font>

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>All told, it wasn't exactly a confidence builder to have THAT be the first game after signing his 4-year extension. In fairness, there really doesn't seem to be another hotshot "savior" QB in the college ranks on the horizon, and their current backup (Ryan Nassib) is straight up trash. Eli probably is the best option for them in the next few years.

Unfortunately the team still needs a lot of work. I had the Giants penciled in for 7 or 8 wins this year and definitely didn't see a win in Dallas coming, so 7 or 8 is still entirely doable with their schedule. But it clearly won't be enough for the playoffs. I'll never outright root for a loss, but fuck...bottoming out at 4-12 or some shit might be better long-term than getting 7 or 8 wins and having Reese think "okay that's not terrible, just need to add a piece or two."</font>

[McLegend]

C'mon don't kick the field goal.

Mother of Fuck

[McLegend]

They won't get the ball back

[McLegend]

[#1-norm-fan]

Never understood taking timeouts before the 2 minute warning in that situation when the time clock is at like 2:20. You're only saving 20 seconds. If you wait til after the 2 minute warning, you're saving 40. Might as well let them run off the 20 and save the timeout.

I don't know much about Brice Butler except that I know a few Raiders fans who wanted him to get more playing time last year. And considering Oakland's lack of an eye for talent over the years, he could be a good pickup.

Pats picked up a new possible KR or PR with Keshawn Martin from the Texans.

[Emperor Smeat]

Recent Deadspin report revealed how the NFL forced prosecutors in the Greg Hardy domestic violence case to hand over records not meant to be available to the public. Main reason was for PR reasons in case sensitive stuff from the case got released/leaked before the NFL could punish him and prevent public backlash if it was seen as weak.

They were given normal records available to the public whenever a criminal case is reported but wanted more sensitive records that were hands-off for legal reasons. Ended up striking a secret deal which allowed the NFL to get those files while claiming deniability in case anyone tried to find out about it earlier. Only got to see the crime photos and files for a day before handing it right back to prosecutors.

Biggest thing the DA was worried about was someone from the NFL's side leaking files to Hardy's legal team which they might have actually done prior to them getting the really sensitive stuff. Ended up tweaking the deal so that while the NFL got the legal power to access the files, the NFLPA would get zero access regardless if it was fair or not.

Ok thanks for your take
Lmao great post owen

[OssMan]

Also I doubt JPP will be back anytime soon, if at all. No index finger, part of his thumb missing, AND his middle finger/ring finger appear to be a bit fucked too. The guy cost himself millions upon millions.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>lol the Giants defense is a fucking disgrace. If they win more than 4 games I'll be shocked.</font>

[DaveWadding]

Larry Fitzgerald is God.

[Innovator]

Preston Parker is not

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I hope Preston Parker gets raped in the shower.</font>

[Innovator]

Vito, it's ok. Everyone on facebook is calling for Coughlin to be fired.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I've never seen a team less disciplined than the Giants. Zero clock management and the defense always folds in the clutch.</font>

[McLegend]

:lol:

[McLegend]

That ":lol:"will almost assuredly be thrown back in myself before the day is over.

[McLegend]

Also Erin Andrews looking really good.

[Emperor Smeat]

Pats came very close to blowing the game against the Bills.

Not sure why Belichick likes to get really stubborn with not using the run whenever they get a big lead.

[Emperor Smeat]

[McLegend]

Guys, I think I hate Sam Bradford.

[Droford]

Steve Smiths gonna have 200 yards receiving, Ravens still gonna lose lol

[McLegend]

Yep I definitely hate him.

[Droford]

Raiders stupid for wearing black jersey in 90+ degree heat

[Droford]

Steve Smiths gonna have 200 yards receiving, Ravens still gonna lose lol

Flacco will get 400 yards passing, still gonna lose

[Simple Fan]

Tony Romo broken left collarbone.

[Clerk]

Hhhheeeerrrrees JOHNY!!!!

[McLegend]

Lol

[Corndad]

What just happened in Oakland haha haha

[Droford]

26 seconds lol

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>so the Giants could be 2-0 right now with the Eagles looking like shit and Romo possibly being out for the year

Fuck my life</font>

[McLegend]

That was one of the most heinous Eagles games I've ever seen.

I fear The Eagles could be legitimately bad. In fact they probably are.

[#1-norm-fan]

Well this is certainly the shittiest I've felt after a win.

Defense is playing fucking stellar. But Goddammit.

[#1-norm-fan]

lolRavens though.

[screech]

Oakland though. For real?

[Innovator]

:lol:

:lol:

[McLegend]

Fuck you, Innovator

[Innovator]

Hey, hey man. Both our teams are horrible

[McLegend]

Mine is much worse though.

[Innovator]

Mine can't get out of its own way.

Also, I feel bad for Romo. All last week was spent saying how much healthier he feels, now breaks his clavicle again

[McLegend]

Your team can at least get a lead.

Yeah seems like Romo was jinxed.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>And the Giants have to play again Thursday, with Cruz and Beason still out for an indefinite amount of time. Fuck.</font>

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Cowboys are fucked Romo hurt (He lost 10 weeks to the same injury before) and 10-12 weeks without Dez Bryant.

[Vastardikai]

Maybe Garrett can take off the headset and grab a helmet.

[Ruien]

It's a good thing the division is complete shit. Who's going to challenge the Romoless Cowboys?

[Emperor Smeat]

Doubt the NFL is going to bother to investigate but NBC Sports is reporting the Bills might have broken a rule against artificial noise for yesterday's game. League sent a memo during pre-season for teams to stop doing it since its been an issue for years.

Bills also might have tipped the league about possible shenanigans happening when they went public saying they wanted to break the stadium noise world record for their home opener.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/09/21/bills-may-have-gone-too-far-with-pre-play-stadium-sounds/

[#1-norm-fan]

Looking like 8-10 weeks (7-9 games) without Romo. Still think the Eagles are the more realistic competition for the division over Washington so basically a 2 1/2 game lead 2 weeks in to try to nurse for a couple months. Luckily the defense has looked pretty fucking stellar, so 4-4 isn't completely out of the realm of possibility. I'd feel decent at 6-4 in that division with Romo coming back.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I wish I could summon up the optimism to say the Giants will win a couple of ballgames and get right back into it but I just can't. Even if they manage to win on Thursday on short rest, they then have to go to Buffalo for a really tough matchup with the Bills.

This just seems like a miserable football team.</font>

[Innovator]

Luckily the division looks to be miserable. Only thing is Dallas has a 2-0 division lead already.

[Innovator]

From big blue view:

[Ruien]

Should have kept Wayne instead of getting Johnson.

[Droford]

Andrew Luck is now 16-2 (.889) vs. AFC South (Jags, Titans Texans), 17-15 (.531) vs. rest of the NFL.

[Innovator]

Terrell Owens is asking his agent to get him a chance with the Cowboys

[Innovator]

Giants released Preston Parker

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!</font>

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>They must be pretty confident that Cruz will be ready by Week 4 in Buffalo at the latest. They'll just go with 4 WRs into Thursday's game I imagine.

Good opportunity for Geremy Davis to show what he can do. Gotta root for a UConn guy.</font>

[Innovator]

I think Harris's toe is ok enough to put him in the slot.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I'm all for giving Harris some offensive snaps. They gave him a fairly insane amount of money to be a return guy in a league where the opportunity to even return the ball is few and far between.</font>

[Simple Fan]

Terrell Owens is asking his agent to get him a chance with the Cowboys

I wouldn't even mind that. His agent says he's matured, I guess 41 is a good age to mature. Bring him in what could it hurt.

[screech]

Isn't he up for HOF nomination this year?

[Simple Fan]

Jason Written nursing 2 sprained ankles and a sprained knee.

[Ruien]

Giants or Redskins this week? I want to say Giants but ehhh.

[Innovator]

Jenkins, Beason, and Schwartz all practiced for the Giants today. All good news

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Maybe Beason will play more than a quarter before getting injured.</font>

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I love Beason btw. When he's healthy he's really fun to watch and in every interview with him he seems like the nicest dude ever.

But he's injured so frequently he's basically the football equivalent of Moises Alou.</font>

[Simple Fan]

Dallas traded a 7th round 2017 pick for Matt Cassel and a 5th round 2017 pick. .

[#1-norm-fan]

Bit steep. I would have been fine with a 7th rounder.

[#1-norm-fan]

Was kinda hoping for Flynn though. He seemed like he best option out there.

[#1-norm-fan]

Oh, I misread that. They're GETTING Buffalo's 7th. So just trading down a couple late rounds for him. That's not that bad.

[Droford]

Giants or Redskins this week? I want to say Giants but ehhh.

My official pick is Redskins +3.5

[Ruien]

Really liking my Giants pick this week. Just could not see Kirk coming into Eli's house and winning.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Shane Vereen saved the game.

[OssMan]

I'm all for giving Harris some offensive snaps. They gave him a fairly insane amount of money to be a return guy in a league where the opportunity to even return the ball is few and far between.
insane amount of money

[Emperor Smeat]

While 3 teams are currently considering a move to LA, the NFL is rumored to only allow one to get the entire LA market and the other 2 staying in their current location. Main reason would be to not overload the LA market this early with multiple teams and prevent another failed move.

Rams favored to be the one to move if that's the case since the current Chargers-Raiders plans are for both to share the same stadium.

[McLegend]

Today's game could decide if The Eagles are good or not.

[Emperor Smeat]

Apparently the Steelers-Rams game got delayed because the turf was on fire for a while. Something about bad pyro or mess up during the pre-game stuff.

[OssMan]

Dallas traded a 7th round 2017 pick for Matt Cassel and a 5th round 2017 pick. .

what

why would a team trade away a player and a draft pick for a worse draft pick

poorly made game

can't tell what's the background and what's an obstacle... moves too fast, hurts my eyes

They just need to move the Raiders to LA. They have the worst stadium situation.

[Emperor Smeat]

:y: Pats win.

[screech]

Son of a bitch

[Ruien]

Sooo Droford, remind me again, how many games will Baltimore win?

[Ruien]

Dominating my confidence pool this week. Only lost on Dallas for 3 points so far.

[McLegend]

I don't think The Eagles are good. However they still might be good enough to win the NFC East.

Very possible

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

The Pats accusers are now 0-3 and 1-2 and just slipped by with that win. Karma is a bitch!
