So what if Ryan Tannehill wants to make a thread. Thats his god damned given right!
 
wait...... we traded A.J. Jefferson to the vikings for a 3rd round pick? Goddam what a steal, sorry viking fans.
I thought it was a 6th or 7th when I first heard we traded him, seriously Vikes da fuck? Also Barnwell saying that we are the worst team in football and the Rams are his long shot to win the division invalidates his opinion., how does he get paid to write the crap he writes.
 
‏@AdamSchefter
Arizona and SF each put in a waiver claim for former Dolphins LB Jamaal Westerman, who was awarded to Cardinals.

Is Westerman any good? I don't know anything about him. Anyone know the current state of his health?

I'm not sure if it was a 3rd that is just a rumor I heard, I was hoping someone here knew what the circumstances were and would correct me. It very well could be for a 6th or 7th. I even heard the Vikes and Cards may have swapped picks in addition to Jefferson.

Vet reporter Tony Grossi doesn't think Trent Richardson will be ready for game 1.

No official word yet though. Shurmur said he feels optimistic trent will play.

No need to rush him back. I hope they don't cave in to pressure and play him early.

Also David Sims didn't get cut.

David Sims, a UDFA Safety, picked up by the Browns. Got traded by Heckert to the Eagles for a draft pick.

I'll take picks for UDFAs every day of the week.

Jets have cut 4 of their 2012 draft picks? Unreal

Spags-Devaney drafter 26 guys over 3 years and only 10 are left. Kills you when you miss

Good. I hate it when teams keep guys who can't play simply because they were draft picks. Jets, unfortunately, have done this way too often in the past.

Realistically Jets are going to have 4 rookies start at some point this year with Hill, Coples, Davis and Bush but yeah LOL JETS!

A couple 6th rounders, really who cares?

I'm just glad my team didn't draft a 32 year old QB and a running back whos knees are already done before taking a snap.

Football season, the best time of the year. :D Goddamn it's about time. It's Super Bowl or bust for the Lions. We've got more firepower on offense than any team in the league combined with a young defense that pounces for turnovers.

We should get off to an easy 4-0 start going into our Week 5 bye. I say 12-4 with a Super Bowl win. Matthew Stafford gets MVP and Ndamukong Suh gets Dpoty.

What in the fuck are the rams doing?



Need to fire everybody in the front office.

Salas is JAG. The Rams do just fine finding decent #2 and #3 WRs. They just can't find a solid #1. Salas looked awful in preseason. For some reason he decided to bulk up and it made him slower than last year. He and Pettis were fighting for one spot and Pettis looked better

God damn I can't believe Stafford found a way to get even fatter. Bulking up to defend himself from that drunken thug maniac Suh I guess.

Well certainly more than the 49ers, thats for damn sure. Our offense is better than any in the NFL. The Patriots are starting to show their age, the Steelers have a depleted offensive line and the Aints are without their headcoach and an older Drew Brees.

Meanwhile our offense if lead by a chiseled 24 year old who last year threw for 5,000+ yards/45 td's and a receiving corps featuring Calvin Johnson, Brandon Pettigrew and Titus Young.

There is a changing of the guard coming up in the NFL and Detroit is paving the way similar to how the Patriots did in the early 2000's.

lololol hilarious

and detroit has the worst defense in the NFL. you will never make it out of the wildcard round. not this year or any other until you address the issues on defense

God damn it, I want that shirt so bad. But Eznark says I have to be fat to get Stafford's obese head on my shirt. I will get former Freeman levels of obese if thats what it takes!

I was just thinking that. It should be on NFL.com or the Lions store asap.

Stafford is husky BTW. A lot of that meat in his neck is crucial to that impeccable arm strength.

I agree 100% with this post.

Matt Stafford + Calvin Johnson + Brandon Pettigrew will carry my money league team to greatness this season.

I'm more concerned with our coaching staffs inability to deal with a firm handshake. If anything is keeping us back, its that for sure

Oh my God!
Any Given Sunday is one of the best movie of all the time. That violence, that tension, that manlyness, that beautifulness, that cruelty, that twist at the end of the movie, that photography, that score, that Al Pacino, that Jamie Fox, that Dennis Quaid, that Jim Brown, that Aaron Eckhart, that Cameron Diaz, and that Oliver Stone ... you such a genius, you such an artist ... I won't watch a football game the same way anymore. Wow ...

Name an offense that can hang with ours. I would say only the Packers can, and even then I would still pick ours.

And whenever you have Ndamukong Suh on your defense it's impossible to be the worst defense in the league. Our secondary is a bit weak right now, but it doesn't have to be strong when the QB has two seconds to throw before his head gets ripped off.
