Metropolis Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 I guess the Patriots have decided to rip off the band aid. They released Cam Newton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zambingo Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Cam was a great player at one point and I was excited to think he could be that still last season… well, it would seem that the Patriots can only have the quality of the QB play go up this season. This season will still likely be rough however, even Peyton Manning had a tough rookie year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Krawlie Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Once again, in most (definitely not all! and I'm prepared to eat this post in January/February if I'm wrong!) the Cowboys are predicted to win the NFC East. In some cases, even win a game in the playoffs. I haven't seen a conference championship appearance predicted yet. But once again, they're predicted to win their division. I'll be shocked if they even finish second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamevet Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Dark and Elliot didn’t see one snap in the preseason games. They’re going to be rusty for Tampa Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamevet Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 We'll see how we do against the Washington football team, but our schedule is soft enough, that I believe we'll take the NFC least, barring injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamevet Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 When it rains, it pours. Randy Gregory out with Covid. D. Law has a fracture and will be out 6-8 weeks. Brown at corner is out. Gallup is out with a foot injury. Backup receiver Wilson is out. Collins is suspended 5 games for missing a few drug tests. Help me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamevet Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Yeah, I don't get what's going on with Pittsburgh. Maybe father time has caught up with Big Ben and his surrounding cast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metropolis Posted September 27, 2021 Author Share Posted September 27, 2021 At least the stupid 20-0 talk will stop. That was just not something i was going to even consider unless we made it to 10,12-0. Now the Brady versus Belicheck will rule the sports shows.

Gamevet Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Belicheck’s team barely has any talent. You’d think that at least the defense would have some dominant players, but it’s pretty much average at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metropolis Posted September 27, 2021 Author Share Posted September 27, 2021 If the Bucs were thin at any positions it was LB and DB. SMB going out in the first game really hurt. Now Dean is hurt. The Cowboys schemed around what the Bucs did. The Falcons and the Rams have taken advantage of that weakness. Todd Boles is very reluctant to bring the heat if his corners can't stand on their own.

Metropolis Posted September 27, 2021 Author Share Posted September 27, 2021 Had this talk with someone about stats and the future of Hall of Fame inductees. After three games, the quarterbacks are already over 1000 years passing (Carr, Brady, Murray) Joe Montana only threw for 3,900 yards in his career twice. I can see a group of today's qbs ending up high on the all time passing lists. They should not however sniff the Hall of Fame without a Super Bowl title or two. Same goes for some of these recovers. What say you guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamevet Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Brees only has one SB win and got robbed a couple of times in the playoffs. Getting to the Super is 50% luck and dependent on a team. Brees would still deserve to be there, even if he never got that ring. It wouldn’t be fair to a receiver like Randy Moss either, who never got a ring.

Darth Krawlie Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Yeah a super bowl win or even appearance shouldn’t come into it. You can’t tell me Trent Dilfer deserves more of a HOF look than Philip Rivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metropolis Posted September 27, 2021 Author Share Posted September 27, 2021 Randy Moss like Megatron was a game changer. Those guys were elite. There are a lot of good to very good receivers in the league. How many are elite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamevet Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 So were Adrian Peterson, Eric Dickerson and L. Thomlinson. They were all one missed tackle from taking it to the house. Dickerson probably could have held a Lombardy, if not for his team running (no pun intended) into the 85’ Bears defense in the NFC Championship.
