Several big match ups including Baltimore/Cincinnati, Buffalo/Houston, and Saints/Chiefs. Tom Brady is due to call a close competitive game, right? KC and Minnesota remain the only undefeated teams this season, which seems crazy this early in the year.

Tampa Bay/Atlanta may've already been the game of the week. Crazy finish and Kirk throws for 500+ with Atlanta coming back.

Love the breakdowns and the discussion on Rodgers in particular. Also love the subtle little digs, "of course they have no timeouts, naturally," lol.

Huber stated in his recent article that Doubs, who has been a non-participant in the Packers’ last two practices of the week leading up to their game against the Los Angeles Rams this Sunday, was actually found at his residence by “team representatives” when he didn’t show up for Thursday practice.

Patriots are getting WR Kendrick Bourne back this week and are starting Antonio Gibson at RB since Rhamondre keeps fumbling the damn ball.

People are saying to fire the coach and that he’s holding Allen back, I haven’t seen enough to judge but I thought I’d share here.

Patriots lose a game thanks to a heel being out of bounds (did Polk not learn from Likely?) and the passing attack continues to largely blow chunks. Furthering my opinion that Belichick shouldn't have been fired after last year as this team is repeating the mistakes of last season, just under an entirely new staff with more mistakes such as 12 men on the field on a punt return.

Losing 15-10 with a QB who generally won't throw downfield when the running game is actually working is maddening. The Krafts naming Mayo as HC was a total power play to get Belichick out IMO and if Belichick had gone even 7-10/8-9 last year, he was probably still going to get fired.

Lot of mixed rumblings that Mayo wanted to start Maye and the Krafts don't want him getting injured by the poor OL play and now there are reporters saying Maye isn't ready according to the staff thus he's still on the bench, etc. Also players bitching publicly in the media, airing grievances, etc. is stuff that you never would've seen with Belichick but already is becoming common under Mayo while Mayo tries to backpedal on his words at times when he's said too much.

I don't think the league wants you to talk about those 3-peats, Brody.

I think the team peaked with him with 13 seconds and he’s also an awful decision maker. Not sure if it would totally fix things but maybe Allen with an offensive minded coach finally breaks through.

No QB, no RB, no OC, millions of defensive players out with injuries. The last thing is something you can't control, but we knew all the other shit going into the season and we knew that the defense could carry teams to wins. But when they're all hurt this team is dogshit.

I'm not saying to fire someone but what I am saying is that if you start the season with a new coach and give him a poo platter QB, you're not really giving the coach a chance to show you anything. You gotta draft someone in 2025. The good thing is that you drafted a tight end who looks like a Hall of Famer, so that rookie QB won't be pushing upstream when he gets to play.

Daniel Jones on the road this season 6 TD 0 INT.

Truth is at least so far he is far from the main reason the team has been losing

Not that anyone would’ve thought otherwise, the decision was called in by Rodgers in effort to save his friend, OC Nathaniel Hackett’s job.


Rodgers will deny and deflect but Jets owner, our former UK Ambassador, is fairly fond of deniers and deflectors and has no problem bending to the whim of a famous star.

Saleh wasn’t a good coach but it’s not like Rodgers still has the juice to be part of a winning football team. So this is all hilarious

Come on, it'd be like when Tony went to Vegas to tell Christopher's ex he was dead and then they ate peyote
