@Rado_N excited or anxious?

I just hope Siemian's injury isn't longterm, he's done well behind an average Oline and I think Denver, even if it gets carried by its defense, needs him if you want another deep playoff run.

Excited man, always!

It'll be interesting to see where Paxton is up to and we should have enough about us to beat the Jags.
 
Jeez this Vikings o line is unbelievably shit. Teddy and Peterson probably couldn't do much if they were out there either.

I'm sure that they are doing it on purpose. It's so frustrating because the skilled players are good, the Qb is good, the defense is great but that O line is trash.
 
Gronk put on IR.

Think there will be questions if we trade him now or not. Would be a Bill move if we do but when he's healthy he's a great, great player.
 
Without the Pats at full strength the AFC, and really the whole NFL, playoff picture gets really muddy. Every team has glaring weaknesses, including the Cowboys.

It's primed for some dark horse to steal the Superb Owl. Is Atlanta still considered a dark horse? It'll be some team that has a 'somewhat clutch' QB.
 
Missing 2 starting tackles will do that to most offensive lines.

Vikings have been mixing and matching for weeks now.
Without all these injuries I still think my original Vikes-Pats Super Bowl prediction would be rock solid. Bradford just can't catch a break with any offense he gets shoved in to.
 
Dem Cowboys going to go all the way this year.

Thursday night games need to die.

Despite the 11-1 I'm not convinced by us defensively at all. Think that'll ultimately be our undoing late in the playoffs. Would be buzzing just to reach the Superbowl though.

But the thing is every team which is a true SB contender has a key weakness or issue to deal with.

Our D is shit and Gronk is now out for the year.
Seahawks have a floundering O-line.
The Raiders have a leaky D.
Cowboys also have a relatively weak d.

But overall I might have given us the edge just due to experience and offence but with Gronk out i think Cowboys have to be considered favourites.
 
Injuries fecked us over last year & it looks like it will happen again. Gronk would have insane numbers if he stayed healthy more than he does. Every season he gets injured & every year it's when the post-season is around the corner. One year he stayed healthy we went all the way & won the SB.

Wouldn't shock me if Bill trades him next year.
It must be so hard being a Patriots fan :(
 
Yeah, about as hard as being a United fan from 04-06, le sigh. Pats fans can be quite annoying with their woe is me shtick.

NFL Insiders said Mitchell will get opportunities now and he'll likely do fine with Brady throwing passes.

My sentiments. The defense has no decent pass rush and certainly no single elite pass rusher. The secondary gives up big plays as well granted part of the blame is on the anemic pass rush. Combine that with the fact no rookie QB has ever led his club to a Super Bowl makes for a likely January collapse. Then again, what Dak is doing (well, more so the line and running game paving the way) is rare.

Jerry/Stephen needs to spread what '17 funds they'll have available on a solid pass rusher and address mostly defense in the draft.

Not just the tackles, Mike Harris was the best O lineman last year and has been out before camp.
 
2 more years of mediocrity for the Rams. Fisher extended.
 
Burst out laughing at the Fisher news. Hate to be a Rams fan knowing 2 more years of pointless football :lol:

Edit: I best not have jinxed the Pats by mocking LA :nervous:
 
Watching Denver on Game Pass so getting all the commericals, Southwest Airlines are great :lol:
 
I've opted to watch the red zone this week instead of The Niners game, it's a tactic as they are 1/10 and i have watched every game. My face is scaring them i think.
 
Im amazed that the Rams have given Fisher another contract. He is Mr Mediocre, he must have some incriminating evidence of something..

Rams have zero ambition.
 
I put Kaepernick in as my QB and not a single pass. Ok.

Giants? Easy to dismiss given the way the cowboys are running away with the NFC East but I think they could be the surprise package in the playoffs.
 
Of course I'm playing against the Broncos' D/ST today. I just knew Bortles would feck it up like he's done all season.
 
Their O has been booed off the field quite a few times.
Can't really blame their fans, for all the preseason hype they've been wank all season. I thought Bortles would push on from his strong sophomore year but seems like he's taken a step back instead of forward.
