    Report: Jacoby Brissett suffers torn thumb ligament (which can only mean Drew Bledsoe’s coming back)

    Let's talk about the Browns in 1988...
    That is too bad, but probably irrelevant. Tony Eason could step on the field tomorrow and that team would not miss a beat. But did you have a role in Brisset's bad fortune?

      I foresaw nothing for Jacoby. In fact, I made the Packer Pick'em pick for New England and couldn't even remember his name while choosing them to win.
      Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

        So...does Edelman get the start? Surely they have to add someone now!

        Brady doesn't count against the 53 while suspended, right?

          Renegotiation or release upcoming. He's due over $17M+ next year...not that he was ever going to get that.

            Expect Belichick to sign Nick Marshall off of Jacksonville's practice squad.
            One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

              Maxie, you are a serious fan if you know who's on Jacksonville's practice squad.

                I'm sort of following Nick Marshall's career. He's a QB (in college) who's got a canon arm and runs the option play better than most. He's also a pretty good CB. Plus, I think Belichick was interested in him coming out of college. Can't remember if he was actually on New England's roster in preseason one year. I think he was. I wanted the Packers to draft him.

                  So the Patriots won because of blind luck getting turnovers and because Houston's offense is pathetic?
                  It's such a GOOD feeling...13 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS!!

                    That was a large part of it. Forcing turnovers is a skill, so they get credit for that. Recovering turnovers is the most random thing in the game of football other than the coin toss. So luck is involved there.

                    I am not saying Belichick isn't great. But miracle worker makes it sound like he created a brand new offense for the 3rd string guy to run in a week. He did not such thing.

                    He gave him a limited number of plays and had his other two units step up. And the Texans were the perfect opponent.

                      Without Adrian Peterson, the #Vikings will start RB Matt Asiata today, rather than Jerick McKinnon.

                        McKinnon must be dinged up. Asiata is steady and can catch but not spectacular. It's gonna be real hard to best Carolina on the road.

                          Just a point about how easy it is to overestimate individuals in a team game, Five Thirty Eight's ELO ranking predictions, which I believe rely solely on past results (including two non-Brady games) had the Patriots beating the Texans 70% of the time.

                          So the QB alone is not enough to overcome a gap like that.

                            Vikings take the lead over Carolina. Really tough fight though, can go either way.

                            Bills with he lead? Kind of a shocker.
