There was a comedian years ago who was ripping on soccer. He couldn't understand why it was so popular. He had the perfect line when describing the sport. He said "If I want to watch 3 straight hours of no scoring I will just go the club with my single friends and watch them hit on women".
I am surprised they are going with Cole tonight in game 1 and Cortes in game 2. I thought Nestor deserved to get the ball in game 1 . Either way just win. Let's Go Yankees. Now the real season starts tonight.
Another thing. These calls on "roughing" the passer (Brady on Sunday) and last night need to stop. The league has to review this in the offseason. I am all for player safety as you don't want to see anyone get hurt. But they are taking it too far now. These "hits" on the QB are just regular tackles. Pretty soon the NFL will be reduced to flag football.
We need to be healthy for this one. I know we have won some games with our injured lineup. That won't be the case here. Really need to get everyone back for this one if possible.
Especially with last night's situation. There was 4 minutes left when the Raiders made it 30-29. Extra point or not the Raiders still have to go out there and play defense with that much time. Kick the extra point to tie it up and go from there. As it turned out the Raiders did get the ball back but instead of going to OT they lost.
I doubt it. If anything I think the Chiefs were having a letdown last night (down 17-0) before realizing we have to win before we get to the Bills. Neither team is having a letdown next weekend. It will be hyped as one of the biggest regular season games this year. Probably the biggest in the AFC with the #1 seed possibly on the line.
You are assuming he can stay healthy and that is a big IF. I don't know what Beane can do before the deadline if anything but I would rather he improve the OL.
Agree. The Giants aren't trading Barkley. At 4-1 they feel like they can make the playoffs. You don't get rid of your best offensive player when you have an opportunity to make the playoffs.
They play the hated Raiders tonight. I don't expect the Chiefs to have a letdown against the Bills. That game will be hyped up as the two best teams in the AFC facing each other. Tonight should be a very physical game and the Chiefs will have to get ready for the Bills on a short week.
I was at the Jets - Dolphins game yesterday and the Jets won't be an easy win. They are getting better. To be fair Bridgewater got hurt so the fish were playing with their the #3 QB. The Bills should win both but they will have hands full in getting the win.
If Poyer has to be out then this is the week to do it. The Steelers offense hasn't been good and they are starting a rookie QB. Find a way to win this game (they should) get to 4-1 and Poyer has another week to get healthy. We will need him out there against Mahomes.
I think the Bills will win big but they still have to be careful. The Steelers are playing to save their season. You know Tomlin will have them fired up with a wounded animal backed into the corner that has no choice but to come out fighting mentality.
