    This week will tell us a lot about this team. The Patriots are the first real team we face. Otherwise our opponents are a combined 1-8, 0-8 if you discount the 1 victory as it was led by Daniel Jones and not Eli Manning. If they go out and handle business against the Patriots then it’s time to start planning the parade.

     A best case scenario is usually the best news possible, which would be ready to practice this week and play next week. Being out 6 weeks is a bad case scenario.

    If it were anything remotely close to being that serious, we would have heard something about it.  Again, fearmongering.

    So you just leave the browser window open for hours? I used to screenshot them. Super annoyed with the experience either way but if that’s the way it’s gonna be they should let people know.

    Well I use the Ticketmaster app, but I guess you could just leave the browser up too.  It's even less hassle than having to waste ink printing stuff.

    Absolutely.  This is the nfl and writing in a w is never a sure thing.   However we will all be disappointed if they lose this game.  

    I remember telling my neighbor at the flea market to watch the Bills shock the world, he thought I was crazy.  The look on his face each time I updated him on the game was priceless.

    This is the narrative that upsets my already tenuous equilibrium: a privileged, cheating, protected athlete receiving additional, informal, untraceable protections beyond the scope of league-wide rules. 

     

    The Tuck Rule was retroactively created to justify Brady's horribly botched AFC Championship fumble ruling.

     

    The silly below-the-knee restriction for QB protection was enacted following Brady's only major injury.

     

    He is allowed to turf the ball--and therefore avoid negative outcomes/real-world consequences--without penalty any time the called play is effectively disrupted by the defense. No other professional, proficient, otherwise precise NFL QB enjoys such freedoms, to suddenly be bad enough at throwing a football that it bounces roughly five yards from the feet of a nearby receiver when the pass rushers are closing in. 

     

    One needs not venture beyond the football field to find the ammunition necessary for a proper, justified Brady-bashing. He is Dan Marino x10.

    What the hell do you mean the Tuck Rule was "retroactively created" to justify helping Brady?  The first application of the rule was AGAINST the Patriots earlier that year in a game against the Jets, before Brady became the starter.  It was actually the game Bledsoe got injured in that led to Brady becoming the starter in the first place.  Brady was just some nobody backup at the time the Tuck Rule came into being so it couldn't have been created to help him.

     

    Patriots head coach Bill Belichick referred to this game after the subsequent Tuck Rule Game, telling ESPN, "I knew what the ruling should have been because we had dealt with that play a little bit earlier in the year on the other side of it."
