That's why I was so excited about signing him to a multi-year deal. Figured Brown would help Josh develop this year, and dominate with him next year.

If Brady's arm wasn't dead already, it will be after Saturday.

For a second year "raw" QB, I'm happy with a 2-1 TD-INT ratio while being top 10 in the league (including RBs) in rushing TDs. He'll keep getting better. Similar progression next year will have him as a lock for the Pro Bowl and us as a Super Bowl contender.

Was literally the thread right above this one on the front page. Not every little thought needs it's own thread.

Wow that is some petty money-grubbing BS. Even worse than fines for rehabbing off site in the off season.

Bound to be some more info on the whole "25% of all player complaints are against the Jags" thing coming soon. Probably trying to get ahead of that.

And Knox was 3rd round, not 2nd.

I feel like I've read this a dozen times in the last month. Must be my mind playing tricks on me.

They really need to outlaw the closed fist haymaker method of stripping a ball. You are literally just throwing a punch at another player which is an automatic suspension in basically any other context (on top of injuring their hand/wrist/whatever). You can't intentionally bash the throwing arm of a QB, shouldn't be able to Falcon Punch a ball carrier.

You know how college players need their "Heisman Moment" for award consideration? I think this was McD's "Coach of the Year Moment".

WOOP WOOP, that's the sound of grammar police. That boat already sailed in this thread, pay attention.

With his arm dying, I can see three INTs for Brady on Saturday. Throw in four sacks from him folding like a wet paper bag under pressure and hopefully that's enough field position for our offense to put up some points.

I hope so, that's my birthday. I was invited to my mom's house to watch the game there and drink beer while she makes me home made shepherd's pie.

Not true. Rule 12, Section 2, Article 5 of the NFL Rule Book (page 81) states that "no player shall twist, turn, or pull the facemask of an opponent in any direction." The Rule Book describes the penalty as follows: "Penalty: For twisting, turning or pulling the mask: loss of 15 yards. A personal foul. The player may be disqualified if the action is judged by the official(s) to be of a flagrant nature." The Rule Book describes an approved ruling as it relates to facemask penalties (page 81). "A.R. 12.12 - Third-and-10 on A30. Runner A1 runs to the A33, where he is tackled by B1, who incidentally grasps A1's facemask on the tackle, but it is not a twist, turn or pull. Ruling: A's ball, fourth-and-seven, on A33. No foul." Prior to the 2008 season, a rule change was approved that eliminated the foul for the incidental grasp of the facemask. *edit* I should also highlight that it specifies a GRASP of the facemask, not merely contact with it. It's like the roughing the passer penalty re: contact to the head where it has to be FORCEFUL contact. That's the problem with these subjective but unreviewable penalties. I thought it was his third (second last) INT, I saw a clear as day double hands to the face on that one. Yeah I was screaming "Unabated, UNABATED! Unnecessary roughness!" at the TV.

Unfortunately not able to make it tonight. I'll make sure to arrange it after a win against the Pats or the playoffs. Be sure to post video clips somewhere.

If we take the division, we get a bye week anyways.

Fine, FINE. I love you too, but I'm not happy about it. Well the having to admit it part, not about the win/playoffs.

I feel this strange urge to say I love you all. I won't, but wanted to let you know I came close.

Someone's gotta complain about everything.

Let go of what...it? Are you telling me Let It Go?

I predicted on Twitter that there would be a phantom first half penalty that even the announcers would call BS on, followed by Bills penalties not getting replays the rest of the game.

I'm apparently really good at getting stuff over the border without having to pay taxes, so I'm sure I could figure out how to smuggle some contraband to you.

Get in line. I will fight you. With my fists. My fists of punching.

Edmunds isn't even eligible for a contract extension for another year.

Neither. Over/unders typically have a .5 to avoid a push.
