did I mention I'm glad that asshole isnt in Philly anymore?

Is Brady's suspension results here yet?

PokerFace · Post Post #4 (ISO) » Sat Jul 25, 2015 6:51 am

I think they are deciding between 2 games and 0 games. Patriots can beat Jacksonville without Brady. So it really only matter if he will make the opener or not

Yay buffalo is taking some risks with its recent personnel descisions. Percy Harvin and Incognito are not well liked in many locker rooms. Rex is willing to take risks

I still think Rey Rice will be a cowboy or a cardinal at some point during the year given the need for running backs with those organizations. Buffalo doesn't need another running back obviously

and its upheld. Did not see that coming

dammit
was hoping he'd play against Dallas

PokerFace · Post Post #9 (ISO) » Tue Jul 28, 2015 9:16 am

Patriots likely to start the season 1-3. I still see them beating jacksonville

I did. Doesn't mater, it'll go to court now - and the NFL hasn't been doing well there recently. Based on the actual evidence, I remain convinced it'll be overturned.

They didn't fire Bill Belichick and replace him with a brain damaged seal.

You're trying to rationalize with PokerFace... C'mon Bella.

Salamence20 · Post Post #14 (ISO) » Tue Jul 28, 2015 3:48 pm

The pats dont need brady to beat dallas or Pitt's lackluster D.

3-1, losing to Rexy

Salamence20 · Post Post #15 (ISO) » Tue Jul 28, 2015 3:51 pm

"But sala, revis is gone!"

The Pats have found crazy ways to win before and They are at home with a pissed off crowd that will be louder than Centurylink. Also Dallas plays rather weakly at home

PokerFace · Post Post #16 (ISO) » Wed Jul 29, 2015 1:37 am

Wow whatever did I do to you guys?

They got Pitt, Dallas, and Buffalo. Two of those teams have great defenses that will enjoy having a rookie QB thrown at them. Dallas Defense will likely relish this opportunity as well. GP should know what he is doing by that game so Dallas will have it hardest of the 3.

That's unfair to the brain damaged seal.

Really? Even with the clown show the Bills have at QB? (A clown show, incidentally, that features MATT CASSEL in a potential starring role - the same Matt Cassel who has swindled millions of dollars out of NFL teams because Belichick managed to make him look like a competent QB last time Brady missed time).

Pittsburgh is in the unenviable position of having to face the Wrath of the Hoodie, which will carry the Patriots to a win, probably on the back of some kind of innovation in offence or defence. The Bills have no QB. Dallas is the only one I'm not confident on Jimmy beating, but that's based on them having some level of running game, which is questionable at the moment.

Although, this is irrelevant since Brady's suspension won't hold up in court and he'll be playing and pissed off.

Is Bell out for the Pitt/NE matchup?

PokerFace · Post Post #19 (ISO) » Wed Jul 29, 2015 5:47 am

technically belicheck got fired by the old browns that are now the ravens so does that argument truly apply?

shaft.ed wrote:Is Bell out for the Pitt/NE matchup?

yes his suspension got lessened from 3 games to 2

PokerFace · Post Post #20 (ISO) » Wed Jul 29, 2015 5:50 am

If brady does play i see them winning all 4.

GP has been good in garbage time games but i don't feel garbage time is an accurate way to measure any QB. Belicheck didn't make cassel into an instant success it took time and I don't think the time GP is getting to practice right now is going to be enough

PokerFace · Post Post #21 (ISO) » Wed Jul 29, 2015 5:52 am

Also EJ Manuel should be Buffalo's QB. I think he will prove to be the best of that lot once they give him the reins

Salamence20 · Post Post #22 (ISO) » Thu Jul 30, 2015 2:15 am

The bills remind me of the Jets of old, a lackluster QB, but a brutal Defense and a ground and pound style.

Thats the type of team that got Rex far a few years ago. Also he plays the Pats hard and the Pats/Bills game have been close as of lately
