What a terrible decision. I don't care how hard you throw that, you can be prime Vick, throwing across your body on the run from outside one hash to outside the other only has 2 possible outcomes in the NFL. Pick 6 or dropped pick 6.

The combination of her accent and the bizarre way Mowins pronounces Crow EL is going to drive me insane.

Of course, it’s only cheating when it’s ruled a catch for the Pats...
I'm more interested in what rule which will benefit the Patriots at some point this year will be changed in 2019, a la pass interference after the 2003 AFCCG vs the Colts and the catch rule last year vs the Steelers as two prime examples.

If you really want to pull a Favre, you have to have your first pass be a pick six and your first pass completion be to yourself.

Anyone else rooting for Matty P tonight? Sure, he left the nest, but he also stuck it to Goodell publicly, and still got hired to be a head coach.

Beating the Jets helps the Pats, so definitely. I don’t have anything against the guy, so, sure, so hope he does well generally speaking.

After watching 3+ NFL games this weekend, I’ve determined that “everything is a catch” and “there is no such thing as holding”

It’s amusing to me how the media has annointed Darnold, referring to him as a “phenom” and acting like he’s some sort of generational prospect/talent.
He may very well wind up being great, but the way they are so desperately creating this narrative around the kid is just freaking insane...or sad.

How Stafford didn’t check out of that play is unbelievable. 3 good guys called it out right before it happened.

They are just telling the truth. It’s a rare thing from talking heads, enjoy it.

The Lions are Giants North. How many plays can you leave on the field. How many cutesy playcalls can you run in weird situations. How many times can you throw to a receiver who isn’t open and might not even be looking for the ball.

Really? A QB from USC who was picked by a New York team that traded 3 2nd round picks for?

A 3rd overall QB pick better be phenom and be a franchise QB (Cue the Sanchize jokes now...)
