Yes, liked him out of college for us and mocked him for our 2nd round. Then came Ozzie and gave the pick to Cardinals.

[Pats]

I hope the vikings and raiders keep winning personal. I can root for those two teams, plus vikings defense in the past few years has been inspiring. Better than the broncos defense by a slight margin too.

The Vikings I can root for. Don't really care for Oakland.

Everyone point and laugh at Ryan Grigson. In an interview, he states that Andrew Luck's contract(the one he agreed to pay Luck) is the reason they can't add to the Colts defense.

Quote

“When you have to tighten up, once you pay Andrew what we did, it’s going to take some time to build on the other side of the ball,” Grigson said, via Zak Keefer of the Indianapolis Star.

So... what were you doing between 2012-2015 when Luck was on his rookie contract? Now he's blaming Luck's contract on his mistakes. Poor Andrew Luck, anyone but Denver or New England send Denver 4 first round picks and save him.

I saw this earlier and couldn't help, but laugh at this. Such an awesome GM this guy, eh? What a joke.

We know contracts don't mean anything whether your a player, coach or GM. Everyone in the NFL is on a one year deal, and wouldn't be surprised to see a house cleaning with Pagano/Grigson both gone a year too late.

They should've been gone a long time ago. Tbh, Pagano should've been gone after the game against the Pats on SNF that involved "the play." How Grigson is still a GM is beyond me. 

Andrew Luck IS the Colts. Take him away from the Colts and I see a below average team. No running game.....again. Offensive line? Come on now. Defense? Uh-huh...sure.

Take him away from the Colts and I see the Browns. On second thought, actually worse. The Browns do have a run game.

I believe everybody was shocked when both were maintaned. Heck weren't they both not getting along?

The Carolina Panthers have ruled out Cam Newton for Monday Night against the Buccaneers. Derek Anderson will get the start on Monday, and other notable players missing for the Panthers is Left Tackle Michael Oher, CB James Bradberry, RB Jonathon Stewart and DT Vernon Butler.

Might have been faster to list the notable players who are playing.

I know right. Seems like the Panthers hit that Super Bowl hangover and still aren't recovered.

[JO_75]

If there is a such thing as Karma, the Browns will beat the Patriots in Brady's first game back.

[JO_75]

Patriots scored first, now Cody Kessler has taken the Browns down field for a scoring drive to tie the game at 7.

[JO_75]

Only the Browns.......

Cody Kessler has left the game with an injury and now Charlie Whitehurst is in at QB for the Browns.

[JO_75]

Halftime Around The League Scores:

Patriots lead Browns 23-7

Lions lead Eagles 21-10

Colts lead Bears 16-13

Titans lead Dolphins 21-14

Vikings lead Texans 24-6

Steelers lead Jets 14-13

Also how good is the Vikings defense?

Field Yates ‏@FieldYates  2m2 minutes ago

Through 12 combined quarters against the Vikings, Odell Beckham, Kelvin Benjamin, DeAndre Hopkins & Will Fuller have combined for 23 yards.

Cowboys looking excellent against the Bengirls.

[redlobster]

The falcons are showing what Baltimore should have done, when the pass stopped working and the run was going good, keep feeding the rock to the rb 

[A Fish Called Yanda]

Its really enjoyable watching the Bengals look even worse than us.  Of course, they're actually playing a decent team though.

I can't even get myself to enjoy it. And i hate the Bengals more than Pittsburgh. I bet they come back and win just to top of this wonderful day of football

[JO_75]

Hey San Diego, could you fire Mike McCoy tomorrow? Thanks.

[redlobster]

What a bad call in Denver to give Denver a chance

The funny thing is Trestman will run the rock at the get go which will get the play action going and then all of a sudden its like hes on crack and cant stop dialing up pass plays. Note he also started calling run plays in the 2nd half and then again.......

This is my only bright star of the day.

[Inqui]

Who was calling for the Bills to fire Rex? They're now 3-2 including  wins over the Cardinals and Cheetahs.

This is why you look silly if you overreact to a small sample size.

[A Fish Called Yanda]

Oh man - the Chargers cannot close out games to save their lives lol.

Well.....5 games IS  a small sample size. In fact, that's why I never bought into the Rams at 3-1 (now 3-2). They're still in GREAT position to go the usual 7-9.

[LosT_in_TranSlatioN]

Just sticking to the plan
