Wish we could get to a point where having a positive test doesn’t mean “omg better shut everything down!” Would any of these guys even known they were “sick” if not for the testing?

I’ve seen people reluctant to judge Darnold until Gase is gone. But I think he’s gonna suck either way.

Schefty saying the Pats were supposed to leave at 1 for KC, but that is now on hold.

Pats/Chiefs postponed to Monday or Tuesday based on positive tests on both teams.

Postponed until Monday or Tuesday (hopefully, that was the original plan for Steelers-Titans).

I tend to agree but did you think the same about Tannehill

Watching ESPN NFL Countdown and they interviewed Bruce Arians and they had him go through his working with all of his star QB’s (Manning, Roethlisberger, Luck, Palmer, Brady).....he said Ben I’d the only one he let fall his own plays?


I found that odd. Manning, Luck and Brady didn’t fall own plays?

With lack of scrimmages and preseason I think it’s very difficult to know which teams are quite good and which teams are particularly bad. Yeah the Jets suck and Chiefs are very good  but i feel there are about 25 teams we don’t know what they are.

Joe is looking very good. A dropped TD that the LB intercepted with his back to Burrow. Horrid play by TE...two other dropped passes a 5th header catches.

Weekly Sunday night thoughts. Not easy to do with two games tomorrow still and Steelers and Titans both off today. 

Good: Seattle and Buffalo continuing to roll. I think Kansas City and Green Bay will join them at 4-0 tomorrow. Browns may have finally figured things out, and the Bengals figured things out for today anyways. AFC North best division? Think it’s between them and NFC West. 

Bad: As I said last week, New York, yikes. Third straight week without a passing TD for Daniel Jones. So now what with Chicago? Foles looked unimpressive. They’re still 3-1 but face Tampa on TNF this week. Texans and Cowboys, lol. I also heard a lot of excitement for the Lions before the season. I’m good on all that right now. 

Misc: Wonder if the Dolphins go to Tua at some point? Not much jumps out to me for next week. Sounds like the Titans - Bills game is in jeopardy if Titans players keep testing positive. Colts defense will get a challenge from the Browns. Actually, sign me up for the TNF Buccaneers - Bears game.

Texans and Cowboys, lol.

At least the Texans had a historically brutal start to blame - SB champs, 14-2, and then PIT.

DAL will definitely contend for the playoffs because their division is horrendous.  And I won't write-off HOU because I still think IND and TEN are kind of "meh".

I think the biggest shame is that, somewhere, a perfectly deserving playoff-caliber team will be left out while the winner of the NFC Least gets in. All four teams in that division suck ass.

BOB out as Head Coach and GM. No word on if BOB the OC has been retained or let go.

Deshaun going to pick his next coach. Maybe he can sway Dabo?

BOB's entire tenure there could be summed up in one of two ways:

1. BECAUSE I'M THE DAMN BOSS!!!!!

or

2. Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time!

Terrible clock and challenge management by NE at the end of the half!
