    Helps to play Calgary back to back games. Forgive me if I don't expect them to be a defensive stalwart this year. You're going to make mistakes in 3 on 3 too, it just happens. Not like the Leafs gave him ANY help along the way. You can't get more Toronto than that. Your dream #1 pick pots...

    60 more games, but only 2 more years than Romo in the league (that's not counting this year)? Staying healthy enough to play is part of the game. Even if Dak hadn't emerged as the future (and potentially present) QB for Dallas, I didn't see Romo starting 60 more games (almost 4 more full years).

    Also forgot to mention, Bledsoe has a 4-3 career record in the playoffs, and won his last game (when Brady came on in relief, though Bledsoe was the only QB in the game to throw a TD). Edit: Sorry, Bledsoe actually came on in relief that game for Brady.

    And I'm sure it'll hold up as the 3rd best all time as passer stats continue to explode. When we're getting to the point where cracking 100 passer rating in a year barely gets you into the top 10, he's going to get pushed further down that list. Guys getting in at the ground floor are really...

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    Disagree on "elite". Romo has only topped 100 passer rating twice in his career, to use an extreme outlier like his one year he had a 113 rating to measure him against his contemporaries is lazy. He'd have been a very good quarterback in any era, with questions about how he performs when it...

    It's weird, they were 0-2 and looking terrible, but then got the gift that is having a West Coast Team (Arizona) have to come east for a 1pm EST game, followed by the Pats having to start their injured 3rd string QB, followed by the universe not allowing a Jeff Fisher team to be 3 games above...

    Caps/Pens in the playoffs again please. This game could be 6-6.

    Not to jump on one side or the other on this, but Uber has a point. The first year the Pats won the Super Bowl, Kurt Warner led the league in passer rating with 101.4. No one else was above 95.5. This year 95.5 would barely have you in the top 15 (14th), and 8 guys are over 100 rating...

    Just when I thought he was having a good season to season and a half with relatively few health issues. At least ones that kept him out of multiple games. Losing Reed would hurt a lot, although we have much more depth (see: not 3 other TE's out for the year injured) this year behind him.

    The kid who scored 4. How the hell did you guys give up a 3-1 lead briefly allowing back to back shorties on back to back power plays? Auston's leadership wouldn't have allowed that. U-S-A!

    Good fucking lord. Everyone spends a couple years treating him with kids gloves to avoid this and it happens in practice?

    Extremely team friendly. Although he is a RFA and still will be when this deal is up too. Still a very nice bridge deal by Stevie Y.

    For what it's worth, we haven't only tightened up in the 2nd half against the Ravens, last 3 games Skins have allowed only 9 points in the 2nd half total.

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    I'm not sure really. Cousins has played very well against Philly in the past. Also our D suddenly had a good game against Baltimore. It'll come down to if our D can do anything to slow down Wentz and if our offense can handle your D. I'd say you guys should be a slight favorite, but who...

    I mean Romo seems to look for Dez more. Dez's numbers away from Romo are pretty pedestrian. He's been hurt though, so we'll have to see him play more with Dak to see if that holds true.

    NHL 2016-17 Season

    Regular season is just for Kuznetsov to get going again and to figure out the 3rd line. Also to see if guys like Orlov/Schmidt can give us more in the playoffs from the back end. Really I could care less where we finish, just get into the playoffs. Nothing the Caps do in the regular season is...

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    I think Morris can be solid in a backup role. I feel bad for him because we ran him so hard on a cheap, cheap 6th round deal and he never really got to have even one larger payday. Not that he's hurting I'm sure, but still. I hope he has a decent career as as a solid backup at least. I don't...

    Wouldn't be surprised if Dallas had more total TD's already this year than last. I think the improved QB play has been the biggest reason for more chances to score, personally. Zeke helps, but when you're talking about looking for a guy who could do 80% production cheaply as a FA pickup or mid...

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    He's definitely a 3 down back. Picks up the blitz just fine. Like Famm said, it's just a value thing. Is it worth it taking one that high when you could get 80% of the production for much cheaper in the middle rounds and use your high 1st on a different position (DLine, etc)? It might be for...

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    That's about right Famm. Even if they'd traded down and taken him middle of the 1st round (although no guarantee he would have fallen that far at all) you would have heard a lot less about it. RB's that high just seem like a bad investment b/c even the great ones only last through a couple of...

    Unless they were playing a division opponent this year. He didn't manage to do it against the Giants or the Skins (with 2 fumbles and got benched). But he'll get another chance at each.

    You're welcome, the path to the Super Bowl victory that is now inevitable shines before you.

    I just don't think the Ravens are that much better than us (if at all) to where they should easily beat us. Also Cowboys put it to the Bengals today. When they do it to the Bears and 49ers it's perfectly okay to wonder if it's for real...now it's starting to get to the point where maybe Romo...

    I'm a Redskins fan. Pretty sure I'd be fine and it would be just more of the same from the last 24 years. But the Super Chargers are entertaining as hell right now.

    I'm nodding sadly...although Kirk has 3 wins in a row while Eli won't even have 3 wins after tonight unless something drastic changes in this game.

    The universe was slowly pulling itself apart all week with a Jeff Fisher team 2 games above .500...but things are calming down again.

    Fillipe Rios so pissed. Never seen a team be so dominant in 1st half and so fucking terrible in 2nd halves. It's unreal.

    Well yeah, I'm rooting for Giants to lose, but they'd be only team below .500 in the division.

    Fun game. Sloppy as fuck by both teams, wind played some havoc with kicking game and the decisions regarding the kicking game I think. Ravens completely telegraphed that fake FG when the holder lined up on the wrong side of Justin Tucker. Cousins still tries to gives games away like 4 times...
