Seemed like we showed up in all the big primetime games last year and it was the mediocre opponents we didn’t show up against. I don’t think we have any issue with players showing up in the clutch

Great coach but I don’t think he’s even a good gm. His whole philosophy seemed to rely on Brady carrying the weight of the offense with only role players to work with at the skill positions. Seems like that has caught up to them

I’m not sure their draft last year was even as good as it looked…there were more easy wins than ever on the afc east schedule last season. I think the dolphins and pats fans could be unpleasantly surprised this season with a tougher schedule. We choked pretty hard during the regular season last year so i still think we’re gonna win more games than last year

Rams lost a lot of pieces in the offseason which offsets missing tre imo…you’d think von miller would have some insight into the rams strengths/weaknesses too. I’m goin bills -2.5

Not resigning jerry Hughes will help with no-calls for obvious holding penalties 😂

I’d honestly love if all this Miami hype is complete nonsense…I hope the pats murder them. Love when these random coordinators get hyped up as football masterminds and then they make terrible head coaches

I mean the nfl could choose to suspend players that are pending trial

I believe there were settlement offers presented by each side at various points…none of the lawyers actions on either side make any sense to me though so maybe I am just confused lol

Just based on the lawyers actions alone it really reads like he was trying hard to bully araiza into a settlement before the season started. I have a feeling they are keeping him updated on the criminal case and he’s got a pretty good idea araiza is not going to be charged. Of course these lawyers are absolute nutjobs so their actions may be impossible to read into. leaking the diary still makes absolutely no sense to me…he has this intricate retelling of events in the civil suit then releases a diary that basically says the victim has no idea who brought her to the room or who was in it couple that with the suit mentioning they had an earlier sexual encounter and he just put together a defense for the opposition

There is in California where ‘mistake of age’ is a valid defense (that’s not true in every state) her diary says ‘told him I went to grossmont’ which is a college and a high school and his lawyer will argue it was a college party and all she said was ‘grossmont’ and conclude that he doesnt think anyone reasonably would’ve asked if she meant the high school. Probably would hold up in a criminal case…civil case he’ll likely settle.

The CBA change seems to really be throwing people for a loop on the optics of this one. If that event happened while he was in the nfl he undoubtedly would’ve been suspended indefinitely until the criminal/civil cases were resolved and there would’ve been nothing to read into regarding how the bills handled it. that can’t be done anymore for events that occurred in college for nfl players

Just strictly based on her lawyers actions it really seems like he knows Matt wasn’t involved with the gang rape and they thought they could bully him into a settlement to avoid a statutory rape charge because that will likely be a tossup in a court room. Of course he could just be a bad lawyer that’s presenting his clients side like that accidentally though It seems like it’s being rumored that there may be some witnesses that said Matt wasn’t in the house when the gang rape occurred and that would make some logical sense based on what her lawyer has been doing and it would also explain somewhat why the criminal investigation is taking so long. No idea if it’s true though

It is so strange the victims lawyer leaked the diary that said that. Makes me think there’s a lot of info that isn’t public and some of it may be positive for Matt. I’m still very happy we cut him just based on what we know now though he’s just way too close to all of this and at the end of the day he had sex with a drunk 17 year old no matter how you slice it

I think people are filling in the blanks on the phone call…the civil suit says ‘he told her she should get tested for an std’ as far as I know which in a legal sense isn’t really admitting to anything.

He’s still way too close to this story to remain with the team. If that is truly all he did then if he is eventually charged a jury will decide if ‘she told me she was 18’ is a reasonable defense in this case. Mistake of age appears to be a valid defense in California especially if the person involved is close to the age of consent and her diary says ‘I told him I went to grossmont’ which is both a high school and a college so that will likely be his defense.

Keenum spent a decent amount of time playing with the second stringers against starters in preseason games so it’s a little tougher to judge

Yea I’d assume if we wanted him we’d wait it out

I saw a few titans fans on Reddit suggesting we are trading for Brett kern…he isn’t playing in their preseason finale despite being in a punting battle with their rookie punter and a starter not being named yet.

It was really hanging over the head of the season imo….some things are bigger than football and it wouldve been hard to root for a team that was going to bat for someone in araizas position

Both these lawyers are clowns. When people hear ‘money grab’ they assume its an accusation that the victim is making the whole story up. But it seems like he meant it’s a ‘money grab’ on behalf of the lawyer because the victim truly doesn’t know who attacked her so they’re going after the person she interacted with earlier in the night who happens to have some money. no idea why he used the phrase money grab though this girl was unquestionably attacked by someone. On the flip side the action of the victims lawyer comes off that they likely know Matt wasn’t present for the gang rape but they are trying hard to bully him into a settlement because he is in the public eye. Really strange he leaked the diary that confirms Matt may have had reason to believe she was college age and that she didn’t know who was present for the gang rape. the civil suit mentions her and Matt had sex earlier in the night which makes the rape kit meaningless as far as evidence against Matt goes. I’d definitely still cut him but the bills will likely face a wrongful termination suit from the nflpa on this one…it seems like he’s not going to be charged.

The whole afc west is in worse shape for the 1 seed than us I think.

Fought for the division title aka coughed up the division title by going 1-3 down the stretch when they started seeing healthy playoff caliber teams then 0-1 in the playoffs. Seemed like every week the pats were playing a bad team or just running into a good team at the perfect time. examples: browns missing Kareem hunt, nick Chubb, and a few offensive linemen titans missing Julio jones, AJ brown, Derrick Henry bills in a ridiculous wind storm their only real quality non flukey win was vs the chargers ironically since it seems like we’re calling them mediocre 😄 NE was an 8 win team last year against an average schedule imo they just caught a lot of breaks. if I were a betting man Id hit the under on this season for them which is currently 8.5. If mac can get them to the playoffs again then we can certainly talk about him being the real deal.

They were up against starters for a good amount of the first half

Preseason W/L is essentially meaningless because teams play starters for different amounts of time. I’d be much more concerned with the starters looking bad in practice although there’s still plenty of time to turn it around.

Well we don’t know mac is a franchise long term qb yet is the point I was making. You are not allowing me to give examples of the actual point I was going for 😁 I meant he could just as easily go the baker mayfield route as be the centerpiece of their franchise…one season is just not enough time to tell especially with the way he finished against tougher competition franchise qbs definitely don’t have their best year their first year but that’s not what I meant…I was talking about the one year wonders that end up being journeymen types
