Worth pointing out that Bills have to play the following(in order): Ravens, Chargers, Vikings, Packers. Pretty good defenses that you may want to protect a raw Rookie from.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Ashwin @AR87 are here to discuss two "on-paper" not great results for United over the last week, but are there positive signs of progress despite what the ex-United pundits are saying?
They also preview the big game Europa League game against Lyon.
Get out of here!
Ok i could be wrong on that one, point stands though!
I read it and I thought I confused Peterman with another QB. But it's actually the guy who threw five interceptions in one half. Kap still doesn't have a team and Peterman starts opening day.
We'll need another year before our D becomes really good, I think. But the talent is there. Josh Jackson looks like an absolute beast for example. Martinez and Clark also look like future pro bowlers.
Yeah and combined with a questionable offensive line after three of their starters left, throwing a rookie in now would probably destroy him. Don't rate Josh Allen at all but considering they spent two second rounders to move up so they could draft him, smart to protect your investment and let Peterman get killed in his place.
Agreed!
I don't know where to put this but, fair play to Nike:

Really good to see. They kept him on his contract all through his protest and continue to do so.

Does he have a team for this season?
I'm all for what he's doing but "sacrificing everything" is a lot easier when you're still making millions per year.
Fitzgerald retiring?
Cards holding a major press conference today. Sure we’ll get the news before the conference.

Probably just Bradford who injured himself going down the stairs at home tbf.
Most reports seem to suggest that it's the announcement of a new contract for David Johnson.
On another subject - surely there's no way Bell will start Week 1 against the Browns, let alone carry a heavy workload? He still hasn't reported and their first game is only 5 days away. Last year he didn't report until 9 days before their first game and he looked average in their first few games. If he doesn't report by Friday I don't think he'll play and even if he does it will be in a committee with Conner at best imo. Damn shame though, and he's set to miss around $850,000 for each game he misses. In a contract year, he should be with the team preparing for their first game and ready to perform.
It's not like they can come to an agreement anyway at the moment because he's been franchise tagged, or is that not the case? The whole situation is a mess and things could get ugly for Steeler Nation if the Browns somehow manage an upset on Sunday.

Find it so hard to take an advert like that from Nike seriously when you know they’re doing it because they’re gonna sell a shit load of stuff.
They didn't have to stand by him, and aligning themselves with the anthem protests could just as easily hurt them, it's caused a lot of controversy in the US.
I’m just really cynical when it comes to these big companies now that they would do anything other than a calculated business move.
Whilst I continue to buy their shoes made by people in foreign counties being paid feck all just because they’re really comfortable and I’m a huge hypocrite and support them regardless
Now excuse me whilst I go amazon prime some crisps to work

Nope - he remains unsigned, although his suit against the NFL for collusion will advance, it was recently announced:
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/30/sports/colin-kaepernick-collusion-case-nfl.html
Colin Kaepernick’s Collusion Case Against the N.F.L. Will Advance
In a major blow to the N.F.L., Colin Kaepernick achieved a preliminary but important win in his case accusing the league of colluding to keep him off the field because of the player protests during the national anthem that he instigated.
The ruling, essentially granting a full hearing on the dispute, keeps alive a case that the N.F.L. desperately wanted to go away. The league is preparing for a new season beginning next week and is still grappling with how to defuse the smoldering debate over players who demonstrate during the national anthem to protest racism, police brutality and social injustice.
Although the number of players who kneel has varied — and dwindled over the course of last season — since Kaepernick first did so in 2016, during a wave of police shootings of African-American men, the issue continues to divide fans and vex owners. It has also inspired persistent tweets from President Trump, whose calls for players who kneel to be fired has put pressure on owners, many of whom support him.
Kaepernick, once one of the league’s best quarterbacks, has been out of work since March 2017, when he became a free agent before the San Francisco 49ers could release him. As a parade of lesser quarterbacks, at least statistically, found work, he filed a grievance asserting that the league’s owners had conspired to keep him out because of his protests.
The N.F.L., which had asked the arbitrator to dismiss the case for lack of evidence, declined to comment. It cannot appeal the arbitrator’s decision to move to a full hearing, but it can appeal a final ruling. A hearing could begin by the end of the year, though the two sides could settle the case before then. Kaepernick is seeking damages equal to what he would have earned if he were still playing in the league. The case has attracted so much attention, experts said, that it would have been difficult for Burbank to dismiss it.
I see rednecks are burning their Nike gear on twitter.
It's commendable that they believe in something so strongly.
Even if it means sacrificing everything*
*some old clothes
If anyone wants Seahawks Raiders tickets
Freeman named as the Broncos starting RB.
Saw that earlier, it's a good call, he looks the real deal.
Fitzgerald retiring at end of season
Fitzgerald to the Pats
Fitzgerald appointed to the US Senate
New Johnson contract
....seem to be the leading contenders.
Fitz is a class act. Would love to see him in Patriots gear. Think he'll retire in Arizone, though
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap30...n=tw-nf-sf196815981-sf196815981&sf196815981=1 NFL reporters predictions for the season
Predicting the Patriots to make the playoffs is like predicting that the NFL will take place. The AFC East is an absolute trash division.
Everybody's so cold on my Carolina Panthers. Thought they'd least get a vote even though Saints are very strong.
Shaq Thompson is fast improving to make the linebacker corps of Kuechly, Davis and himself one of the best in the league.
Olsen is healthy, rookie Ian Thomas TE could also contribute, and they've added to their bleak receivers corps in the draft with first round pick DJ Moore. Collin Samuel is healthy aswell.
McCaffrey is primed for a better season and CJ Anderson will be an improvement on Jonathan Stewart who was awful most games last season.
Pushed the Saints and the Falcons all the way last year and made the Wildcard game.
Very strong NFC South but I feel they have a better chance than it's being made out to be, should at least be in the discussion.
Yeah, definitely all valid arguments there.
I just think the Saints and Falcons will also be better than last year and Carolina relies too much on Cam who has blown hot and cold every other week for the past two seasons, or at least that's how it feels. If he can get anywhere close to his 2015 level, you're definitely in with a shout. Doesn't help that you're playing in possibly the strongest division in the NFL at the moment like you say yourself.
I love the NFC South battles between the three of you, and think it'll get down to your head 2 head record for who goes into the postseason.
Good morning football just did their NFC predictions and it was so random, NFC is so hard to predict tbh
Been hearing this rumour for the last 3/4 years. Would absolutely love for it to happen but I think he'll call it quits after this season in Arizona.
Same. It's not going to happen but I would love it to.
Cardinals announcement was just for stadium naming rights
