Well, the Pats* have finally used up all of their banked draft picks. In fact, next year I think they don't have a 5th or 6th round pick. I could see that trade happening.

No kidding, it was a thing of beauty to watch. He also got seriously hammered in the first preseason game. I have a feeling that offensive line is going to get him killed this season. Which is going to be fun.

For those interested... Pats* down 20-7 at halftime. Brady got absolutely hammered on one play and fumbled. Just afterward, he throws one that is tipped and picked off, and run back for a pick-6. So even the invincible Pats* are looking pretty rough in their main tune-up for the season. In other news, Tannehill not looking too impressive against the Falcons. Russell Wilson looking pretty comfortable for the Seahawks...

Except that he's not our coach. But I agree anyway.

How anybody has anything critical to say about that throw is beyond me. This guy has some serious issues.

That would only make sense if the Bills were counting on Merriman to be the starter. Since he was going to be a backup, they certainly could afford it.

Nah, he's just the site admin. You know, the boss.

I've had one of the old ones for the Bills in my sig line for a couple years now. It was hilarious. Link still works, too...

Ah, the memories...

Awesome post.

Maybe, but only if we had gotten a first rounder for him.

Congrats, Lori! I'm sure she's reading this, but I doubt she'll start posting again. We do miss her, though.

And not only that, but Brady got demolished on one play and fumbled it away to the Saints. Loved that.

Ain't that the truth. I was dumbfounded by that call.

Thanks, John. I was hoping you would focus on Glenn and report back -- you really know your offensive line play.

Wow, has it really been that long? Welcome back, and thanks for your service.

If a guy runs out of bounds and is the first to touch the ball, it's a penalty, not a touchback. The only way it's a touchback is if a guy runs into the endzone and fails to establish his position back out of the endzone before touching the ball.

I actually wonder if one of the two will get cut after the next preseason game, allowing them to focus hard on the one they keep while giving Brad a few snaps to get him in sync with the offense.

I love this guy.

Of course it will. The last game is scheduled for December 30th.

I love how our community hatred for the Pats* allows us to completely discredit the fact that they are the Super Bowl runners-up, by a very small margin, and have arguably gotten better in areas of weakness this offseason. Look, I hate them as much or more than anyone else here, but I have absolutely no idea how any team, much less us, is going to stop them this year. I hope they go down hard this year, but right now, it's just hope.

A little OT, but...wow, what the hell? I hadn't heard that one yet. I was still reeling from the fencing travesty.

I'm thinking the guy just had a little diarrhea and didn't want to do any rough stuff that might pop something loose in those white pants. Just a guess.
