i dont think you want to get into a Raiders benefited from bad reffing battle...that 'late hit' on Mahomes 

One thing we did learn; just lob it up high against the Raiders secondary. Same old shit for 20 years now.

I'm a niners fan, and thought the reffing was poor on both sides, but that the Raiders definitely benefited from some less than consistent application of the holding rule, and got away with a lot that was very close to the line which stopped that TD pass.  I also thought there was marginal forward momentum of Mahomes' arm in the fumble, which would have then reversed the call to incomplete pass, but it was so difficult to rule, I don't mind the onfield refs getting the pass on that one and sticking with their original decision.

are they moving him to QB?



seems like a good deal for miami to me. steelers are likely to be quite shite now this year so it should be a half decent pick and they never seemed to know what to do with him anyway.

Agreed. He doesnt solve Pit D issues and that pick likely to be a top 15, possibly top 10 pick. Only way I think that trade really good for Pit is if pick is in 20s(which means they make playoffs)

Interesting opening weeks to the season just for the QBs alone:

- Luck retires
- Darnold (ill) and Foles (injured)
- Roethlisberger and Brees potentially injured (Wentz also left the Phi-Atl game, but came back)
- Cam Newton seemingly unable to throw

-Now with Roethlisberger out for the season
-Brees out for about 6 weeks
-And Jets' backup QB Trevor Siemian out with a gruesome broken ankle

Tough season for the QBs and we're only in Week 2!

Minkah Fitzpatrick traded to the Steelers for a 2020, 1st round pick.

Miami drafted him 11th and this pick will probably be around there, if not better. This is good value for Miami, although again I think you want to keep your better young players in a rebuild. It also makes me wonder if the Steelers agreed this prior to Roethlisberger being ruled out. First time the Steelers haven't had a 1st round pick since 1967

Giants named Daniel Jones their starting QB

[bryanod]

There's a lot going on with only 2 weeks done!

[Ray K]

Rough week for QBs from the 2004 draft class.
Big Ben out for the season.
Eli benched and might be done as a starter.
And Philip Rivers hasn't successfully impregnated his wife this week.  So far.

What a piece of shit

[deFacto please, you bastards]

If true sure absolutely , but right now it's she said he said.

[voodoo ray]

more like he said they said. who knows how much of it is true but there seems to be a pattern of repeated behaviour.

She/he and they said. He's a complete douche.

[deFacto please, you bastards]

I agree that he is outside of all of these accusations, but right now they're accusations.

Wonder who you support

Potentially add Cam Newton to the injured QB list

Adam Schefter@AdamSchefter
Carolina GM Marty Hurney told reporters that Cam Newton informed the team of the aggravated foot injury after last Thursday night's loss to the Buccaneers. The team does not have a solid timeline for when Newton will be able to play, saying the Panthers "will see how it goes."

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Doesn't matter who I support, makes no difference who he plays for, being accused of something doesn't equate to being guilty of that. Simple as that

His best days are past him at this point. If I was the Panthers, I would let him walk when his contract runs out and start rebuilding.

[voodoo ray]

if (big word where injuries are concerned) newton can get to something appraoching fit again, that team started 6-2 last year before their season fell out of its own arse.

[bryanod]

Josh Rosen about to lead Miami to a massive victory. Well maybe against the 21pt spread that is....

[mc_red22]

So what is everybody's guess as to where Ramsey ends up?

[rafathegaffa83]

Seattle or Philly

[voodoo ray]

sounds like the titans are back to being shite. the shitans, if you will.

[Red Viper]

So what is everybody's guess as to where Ramsey ends up?

I really fucking hope the Eagles can get him. Our secondary is the only glaring weakness for us so Ramsey puts us in Superbowl contention I think.

[bryanod]

If true sure absolutely , but right now it's she said he said.

Not aging well with latest news on him. Not sure how he can be kept off exempt list now.

Last night's game was the usual TNF debacle between those two teams. Stinky.

If its true then he should get everything he deserves. My point was to wait before making a decision on whether it's true or not.

Boy that was quick.

In a hot air balloon?

He's his own biggest enemy.

What a knucklehead, no team will take him on now, 

[skipper757]

Antonio Brown:  11 days

Anthony Scaramucci:  10.42 days

He at least made it one mooch in New England.

From ESPN on Twitter

Statement from Drew Rosenhaus, agent for Antonio Brown: "It's unfortunate things didn't work out with the Patriots.  But Antonio is healthy and is looking forward to his next opportunity in the NFL.  He wants to play the game he loves and he hopes to play for another team soon."

[Trev20]

What a basket case this guy is.

[rafathegaffa83]

According to the Athletic's Jeff Howe, Kraft and Belichick decided to release him after Kraft heard about the text messaging harassment

It must be fun being his agent. I mean, I'm sure he gets a ton of money, but it also has to take a toll on you.

[dalarr]

Jaguars vs Titans was a dire game. My god. I’m still choosing to believe that Gardner Flint Minshew II is the Messiah, though.

He strikes me as a guy who wouldn't lose his sleep over working for pieces of shit.

[voodoo ray]

as I understand it Rosenhaus has been doing this job a very long time so he's probably not all that arsed, even if this is a pretty extreme situation.

he can always go home and count his probably massive bank balance too.

Looks like i did the right thing & decided to go to bed instead of watching that game, seems there was a load of penalties too especially first half.
