7-9 imo unless Rudolph is terrible.

Obviously not enough to judge, but I didn't think he looked terrible yesterday.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Rudolph looked a lot better than Bridgewater...

Obviously not enough to judge, but I didn't think he looked terrible yesterday.

Steelers have a top 5 OL.
That helps a young QB. Plus Seattle has a top 5 DL if Ansah was playing don’t know if he was.

These 14 games will tell us a lot about Tomlin and that locker room.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

Time for Bridgewater to prove his worth as the highest paid backup in the league and maybe throw a pass further than 5 yards downfield.

He’s got drew brees arm strength with Blaine gabberts accuracy

 

[STEVEHOLT]

As a Patriots fan, i really would love him to announce he retiring after the season, and hopefully get back to being a good kicker for a few more games. The GOAT deserves to retire on his terms.

That being said, its probably unlikely.

I can’t believe they are going to accept just giving up a few points a game because of his body of work .. he started having these issues late last year . Is his crappiness factored into the betting line already ? If not , my love of betting on the colts is going to stop

I had the Colts +3 and was happy he missed the second XP.
It ensured I would win by 1 if Tennessee got a FG and no OT.

Vinateri was done IMO when he missed that 19 yard cheap shot in the playoff game in KC last year.
He appears to have a problem outdoors and is lucky his home stadium is indoors.

I wasnt staying they owe him a thing. If he needs to go he needs to go.

Just saying wish he would have announced a last go around before he started having issues.

The Boys have far less decency than the Pats. They’re hoping a few big blow outs will make their fanbase feel better about the inevitable first round bounce coming

Starting off the season against the league's 3 worst defenses doesn't mean much.

Looks like I'll have to wait until Week 5 against GB, now that Brees is out, before I form any realistic expectations.

Here's to helping your Phins "Tank fo Tua" (since Sunshine can't come out after this year) this week.

You obviously didn’t care to get the facts before this opinion.

The NFL hired 24 refs full time 3 years ago and has 80% of them Hired as full time since then.

NFL to hire first group of full-time officials

Between 21-24 officials will be moved into full-time roles after the joint agreement between the league and union.

www.usatoday.com

The officiating sucks because the refs don’t do their jobs well. There is no excuse for the ref blowing that fumble dead today and cost the Saints a TD. They are taught to let the play go and then replay can review.
Instead the ref flat screwed the Saints. Last week the refs screwed the Saints out of a last minute drive.

The roughing the passer call in Denver swung a game to Chicago.
Officials need to get better. A clear majority of them are full time now.

Interesting, from July 2019 ...

NFL suspends plan to make game officials full-time employees, report says

The decision comes as the NFL and officials negotiate a new contract with the NFL Referees Association.

www.sportingnews.com

Also the article reports about 20% of the NFL officials are/were fulltime. Will you check on that 80%? 21-24 of 124 (in your link) isn't quite 80%.

Can someone just take away Berman's keys. The guy is intolerable.

He’s the man!

You don’t appreciate Berman till he is gone.
NFL primetime was much watch each week.
Nobody does NFL highlights better and the music of NFL primetime was amazing.

 

[OrangeDW]

I guess Lamar Jackson doesn’t need to be moved to RB or WR after all?

 

[Alsacs]

How the Chiefs don’t offer a first and more picks for Jalen Ramsey is stupid.
The Cowboys or Rams are going to come in and steal him.

I’m mad at myself that I forgot about it. Primetime was always the best, and that was easily Berman’s best work.

I don't really foresee Dallas doing it with their contract situation and the depth they already have in the secondary. To me, Chiefs, Eagles, and Raiders are the teams to watch for him.

 

[OrangeDW]

Just watched Doug Marrone’s press conference clips - he looks horrible. I barely even recognized him.

He should think about hanging it up and getting himself in shape for his own well being IMO.

 

[Forza Azzurri]

Simian hurt...Jets just pulled some guy from the stands to play QB.

 

[Trueblue25]

Oh no.


Dolphins may sweep the jets

I loved Primetime and the music made the show.

Little rusty but Great to have them back.

 

[OrangeDW]

Giants-Jets shaping up to get the “toilet bowl” treatment from the NY press, just like when they met up back in ‘96, both winless, and played one of the worst football games of all time.

 

[Briancuse]

The mnf broadcast crew is a Trainwreck.

 

[Alsacs]

Oh no.


Dolphins may sweep the jets

Dolphins are trading Minkah Fitzpatrick tomorrow.
The Fins team I watched yesterday would get a challenge from a roster of Clemson/Alabama current teams.
They are bad.

If another first comes from this I’ll just smile and wipe away the tears
