Tell Me :
Talk
Speaking of garbage and New England football in general, Boston College laid a turd at Purdue. I'm not a huge BC fan but appreciate their feistiness over the years. It was weird seeing them get pushed around by an 0-3 Purdue team.
The dude just keeps going.
He'll never get the credit (or hype or praise or whatever) Brady gets because Brees has only won one Super Bowl. As far as I know statistically Brees is the best NFL QB ever, which will only grow as he plans to play for at least another 2 seasons after 2018.
Brees is setting records a lot like Wayne Gretzky did - often and a lot of them. The next big one is all time passing yards, which is 417 yards away from being broken.
For whatever reason, Super Bowl rings have become the de facto measure of quarterback greatness, as opposed to individual stats. Brady is obviously more accomplished, but Brees' stats (as well as Manning's, Marino's etc.) should be given more weight when it comes down to determining the GOATs. Rings are a factor, as the quarterback is the leader of any team, but they're more a measure of TEAM greatness.

Pats looked sharper today, even with Brady throwing two interceptions. Hopefully the start of a course correction for them.
my favorite player. too bad he wasn't a cowboy when he went down!!!
Why did he give the finger to teammates? They have nothing to do with his ongoing contract issues, which were supposedly resolved. Maybe mad at Coaches?

Thanks, Chris. This has hit pretty hard as we had become friends in the last year. Has gotten me thinking harder about doing the disability retirement the doctors have wanted me to do for 5 years. Don't want to leave unnamed corporate devil in a coffin! On another subject, even though it looks pretty bleak going in: GO HAWKS!
Talk about your favorite band.

Bears win ugly against Arizona thanks to their defense! First place in the NFC North, can't remember the last time I've been able to say that!
Bear Down Chicago Bears!

Seems to me that Buffalo exposed the weakness of the NFC North. Still nice to see the da bears in first.

Drew Brees now the all-time leader in pass completions. Should be the all-time leader in passing yards in the next 2-3 games (leapfrogging Favre and Peyton).
Guy is really something else.

I'm a Brady guy, but Brees surpasses him in terms of athleticism and pure passing talent.Quote

Decent game to start the week tonight. 2 mighty defenses. Let's see what Cousins is made of.

lets not forget that mannings team was terrible when he got drafted hence being the #1 pick so he didn't have a good system or players or coach around him when he first started

Earl Thomas breaks his leg and as he's been carted off the field, fingers the Seattle sideline! Something tells me that was his last game as a Seahawk.

Why did he give the finger to teammates? They have nothing to do with his ongoing contract issues, which were supposedly resolved. Maybe mad at Coaches?

I think he was just lashing out at "the team" in an abstract way. I can't blame him for being pissed in the moment.Quote

The Seahawks are a 7.5 home dog. This must be a first in a long time. Rams' Gurley is a monster back and hawks must stop him.

I saw that play. Brady certainly had protection. Gordon ran a ten second route- fought through three or more defenders.

that's because the patriots constantly hold on the o-line and are never flagged. watched that game with a pats fan and he even said no one gets that long to throw just standing in the pocket unless there is a lot of holding

Agreed. Remember when the Pats were caught spying on the Jets' practices several years.. ago? Pure evil. The Pats need to be discussed in that crazy "Occult" thread

well there is holding on almost every play in the nfl so the refs could constantly through the flag but I have never seen someone stand in the pocket that long without some penalty being flagged. gronk earlier also should have been flagged for offensive pass interference when he layed into someone on the colts to free up Julian edleman. luckily wide open edleman dropped the pass so it didn't matter

for the first time in several years i won't be watching my seahawks as the game is happening. recording the game. sadly, there is a memorial get together for 1 of my few friends from work. john was my age (mid 50s) & was diagnosed with cancer. he was gone 6 weeks later. a good thing is i was able to help his wife out with some issues with the company & get the word out about today. if you are so inclined, the family has requested donations to charity on link in memory of john stenberg. it's a good charity. helps kids in need of physical therapy that can't afford it. its a sad day. john was a good guy & is already missed. RIP John Stenberg.
