The Patriots look terrible!

If they finish the half down by 6-10 points, they should be very grateful.

An awful lot of terrible tonight.

They were playing short-handed tonight, and it looked it.

Too early to panic, but not too early to be concerned.

As posted earlier, BB the coach will have his hands full coaching up the players BB the GM has given him.
Playoffs, win the east,  maybe the AFC. Chiefs look great, but that defense... Steelers are a mess, Titans and the Jags have major QB issues, even at 2 - 1 I stick by my prediction the Browns finish ahead of Cinci. There is life in the old man yet.

Mayfield.offocially named starter to the surprise of Colin Cowherd and no one else. Two in a row?

Generally after 3 weeks I get a sense of who's who. This year not so much.

I didn't see the Bills-Vikes game, but WTF?

If I had to guess the SB, I'd say KC-LA Rams.

Is he dead?

No, 'just' a torn ACL, probably.

But severe injuries early in 2 of 3 seasons doesn't bode well.

I have it LA Rams - Cleveland Browns. I may be overreacting for part of that.

 Does your bookie or local sports book allow a wager so long after the game starts?

Only played the over......

And of course there is the scores contest.

Thinking of taking the mulligan in Survivor pool for another unit.

While I was listening in the car, it didn't sound like either team had defense, though the Vikings got the Rams to punt first after 5 consecutive scoring drives by the two sides.

Chargers, Jags, Packers  biggest SURVIVOR picks.

320 players left.  About half (with me) have the one loss and thus cannot rebuy again if they lose.

Pool is about 1500 units, winner take all

Pats needed a game like that, clicking on most cylinders.

D played real well and controlled the game.

Sony Michel looked like a difference maker and had a good game, and Gordon helped.

Brady was not surgical sharp, but good enough, but he's off so far this year.

Lets see if getting Jules back, (short week vs Indy) on Thurs PM, gets them to another level.

As an aside, finding/picking games this year has been a really tough.

Mayfield sucks! We should never have drafted him! We won't win another game all year!

To be a Cleveland fan is to over react.

Pats might be interested if Browns and young Baker aren't a good match.

Didn't see the game, but heard the Browns got reamed late by the refs.

It appears to me that Brady has, finally, lost a bit off his fastball.  It could be his receivers, but I don't think so.
