Expecting a difficult game in Denver & their pass rush to cause us issues. Brady won't have Hogan to target so someone else will have to step up to help Gronk - Bennett maybe?! Should be an intriguing battle between a terrific defense & one of the best QBs of all time.

On the other hand, Denver's QBs suck & our defense sucks - one of them (hopefully Pats D) will just have to suck less than the other to make this game fun.

Bryant is banged up and Zeke suspended, they looked great the last couple of weeks but I see the Falcons winning this one, Cowboys' D doesn't win them games either.

Atlanta is ranked 24th stopping the run.. and cowboys have great backup RBs.

Dak doesn't really like throwing to Dak anyways lol.

I think the smart money could be on Dallas today. Sucks because I'm an Eagles fan.

Isn’t Bennet out for the season?

Cheers for sharing that.

Being a Niners fan, I have a rational dislike of Sherman form our rivalry (that ended when we stopped being good). But from this article, and from reading and watching many other speeches and interviews he has given, I think he speaks abut the real issues players face extremely powerfully.

I remember he answered a question regarding student athletes here (no idea why the video plays 3 times!!)

Thanks for the vid.

I’ve watched a couple vids from sherman. One about his community work etc rings a bell but I got no idea where it was from so gonna be hard to track down.

He’s clearly extremely intelligent and respected. One of those who truly isn’t the man you see on the field (where let’s face it, he’s a bit of an asshole).
 
That’s a great catch by Harris. I think they should challenge that.

Yea I'm the same, I'm thinking it's going to be a blessing, I can just wake up and see my Google alert of how badly we got smashed rather than having to sit thought it :lol:

Think it will be a close game, probably a score in the low 20s as your D should get enough pressure on Brady to keep it close.

How's your pass protection? The D needs to do better than last week that's for sure.

It’s been really poor this season. I think Brady’s taken more hits & sacks already than the 12 games he played last year.

I’m expecting a scrappy game.

Broncos D always plays on another level against us.

Interesting re the pass protection; Miller does fecking love taking Brady down too, I saw a stat the other day that nobody has sacked Brady more since 2011 than Von.
 
Ingram having a very good game & season.
 
No idea what happened but hope the Saints player is ok.
 
Flipped over from the NI/Sui match to see the Saints player on the ground and medical help around him. Then the ambulance rolls out after commercial break.

An ESPN writer reported it was a collision during the kickoff return. So I'm guessing neck/head injury, or perhaps a stinger. Though I thought I heard a commentator mention a hit on the hip.
