We saw all these 'soft tissue' injuries coming, didn't we? The rush to play combined with the lack of proper preparation led us here. Thing is, are there more injuries than a usual-season first week? I don't have that answer but if someone comes up with it and the answer

Hey, yesterday didn't suck, ya know? Oh, maybe your team sucked but the day? Nah. And tonight we have a couple of young-ish qb's whose careers really could go either way, facing off against some D's that could cause some skittishness. How will they do? [shrugs shoulders] I don't know but

[turns BEST BRA EVER! admercial off] It's almost too much football, isn't it? Kidding! No, it is not. TO THE GAMES!!! Jets/Bills: Did the Vikes front office giggle a bit when they traded the league's best downfield wr (% of passes caught 20+ yards from LOS) to the Bills so that he could

Damn right it's on! Whew, what a frickin' ride to get to this point. I just want to thank all the hardcore commenters that kept this thingy of ours afloat when there was so little sports going on that we resorted to Korean baseball and made the best of it.

Back in 2016 it was Ben McAdoo holding the reins and in 2018 Pat Shurmur came to town-now it's two years on and previously unknown Pats Special Teams coach Joe Judge wowed 69 (don't even start) year-old Dave Gettleman and 65 year-old John Mara. Mara & Gettleman: "Wow, you actually brought
