Recovers from what...football wise he is done. He did the other knee last year, and that was a lot more straightforward - something a lot of running backs suffer, but this was horrendous.

Reports confirm that South Carolina RB Lattimore suffered a broken femur, broken patella, torn ACL, torn MCL, torn PCL, and torn LCL.

Jesus who let Boris on the mic, he just called it "Rugby Union" :lol:
 
Boris is a muppet.

Hopefully the Pats start strong and get a big lead and don't choke the lead.
 
The offence is driving so good at the moment.
 
Ooh Pats winning :D

Will watch this after the post-game stuff is over for the United game. Hope Pats score some more TDs...
 
Gronks celebration was epic too:lol:

Marching like a buckingham palace guard before the spike:lol:

Edit -

Fletcher having a dreadful game for the Rams, 3rd pass interference now.

Edit - TD Ridley!
 
TD Pats!!

Pass interference call massive there.
 
Hopefully we'll keep up the score in the second half and win by a big margin.

Great day of sport so far.

Edit: Sparky, is Hernandez playing?
 
Even better is we get the ball at the start of the 3rd quarter, hopefully we can drive for another TD and keep going.
 
Watching the Lattimore injury just further pushes my belief the sport must outlaw the helmet and return to the grass roots days (no helmets). Players will no longer use their head as a weapon; the helmet gives a false sense of invincibility to a player. I recall being taught to lower the head and hit the opponent (back in my youth days in the 80s) but I very rarely lowered my head and instead learned to use proper tackling (i.e. grabbing around the waist or legs).

I have never understood why the sport allows blocking/hitting below the thighs. It's extremely dangerous. In this situation it was far worse as he had another guy attempting to tackle him. If that is an offensive player it would be a personal foul for chop block (hitting below the waist) while engaged with another blocking player. I don't know if that rule exists against the defensive side.
 
FG for the Pats. 38-7. We've been very good in the redzone today.

Ridley having a triffic quarter.
 
'Arsenal who had a big win yesterday' :lol:
 
Chandler Jones gets in for the sack!
 
Chandler Jones has really impressed me this season. His dance moves aren't too bad either.
 
Those were some smooth moves after that :lol:
 
Rams defence looks really tired now.
 
Brady was impressive, D did well and Gronk looks back to his best. Good win for the Pats ahead of the bye week.
 
Oh yeah baby! The Giants are rolling. Good job by Hynoski to cover the guy at the end to enable Brown to get the TD.
 
I hope everyone noticed how shit Dallas plays deep passes there in comparison to how the Giants play the deep pass. The Giants played both Romo INTs to perfection, while the Dallas safety clowns had triple coverage on two guys and let Cruz make an adjusted catch.

Now Bryant fumbles a punt. It's embarrassing. :lol:

do you know why there are people showing pics of two guys behind cowboys goal?

btw, dallas can't hold the ball :lol:

It was an incredible play by the DE to grab that ball like he did. Granted everyone will look over that and just rip Romo. He's got a bunch of clowns out there on offense, not counting Austin and Witten.

I've seen it now JPP is a beast.

2 terrible throws.

If Romo fails to get them to the playoffs, will they replace him at QB? I think he has the same number of playoff wins as Tebow, which if correct, is an embarrassment.

No mental strength, he's shot right now, he doesn't strike me as someone who will his team a Superbowl.

He's vastly superior to Tebow no matter how one attempts to break it down. Who would they replace him with? Of the top tier QBs in the league with more than a year or two, he's clearly in the top 10. It's not like Miami is going to toss Tannehill to Dallas for a guy in his early 30s that may be demoralized by an overzealous media and fanbase. Nor would other young QBs like Newton, Griffin, Ponder, Stafford, et al be given up by their club, even for a better QB in Romo (at this point he is better than those guys outside Griffin perhaps, granted he's running a watered-down offense at the moment).

The Jets could be an interesting place but I wouldn't want Sanchez in exchange and Jerry would never acquire Tebow, thankfully. There's no great college guy coming out in 2013 either.

It's all falling on Jerry's management. He refuses to hire a legitimate general manager, overrides his own football personnel guys, and desires a puppet as head coach. He's morphed into Al Davis. Al had a top class organization in the 70s and into the mid-80s but his ego started to run the show based on past results and he refused to change his philosophy. The Raiders went nearly 20 years without making a Super Bowl appearance mostly due to Al's terrible management. Dallas is headed the same way until Jerry is dead, that is if his sons, namely Stephen, run the club in a different manner.
