I'm shocked anyone noticed my absence.
Busy week last week plus not much going on in the football world. Hope all is well, my friend!

Busy week last week plus not much going on in the football world. Hope all is well, my friend!
but this doesn't fit the narative.
How can ESPN make a living when something reasonable happens?
I've never thought that until this offseason. The Pats success next year will be about the defense, which was very good in 2015
You know, when I saw it live I thought he just misjudged the bounce and reacted slower than he should have. Slow motion and stills look awful, but I'm not about to start questioning the toughness of a dude who had over 150 rushing attempts this year because of one play. Regardless of his reasons it doesn't really matter long term, just something else for the media to talk about it.
I just want to say that is one SEXY avatar you have there
I actually feel bad for making you wear it believe it or not.
I literally threw up in my throat a little when I originally saw it, but a good nights sleep cures most ills
Plus Russ is from my alma mater, I even saw him live a couple times at NC State, can't feel too bad.RellyRell28

He Green Bay finally lost in their division so maybe it's New England's time as well.

Really? Given what he's done to get you a QB so far (Mallett? Hoyer? Weeden?), you want BOB making this choice without help?
Some say if you look at the gif his right knee begins to buckle and he holds up.

This are Pats fan pipe dreams. Patriots very rarely bring anybody who can command salary, especially running backs. Patriots would want Foster to have a 1-year prove it deal for New England, where as some other team would give him a 3-year decent salary somewhere.
Similar with Matt Forte. Guy would be a perfect fit in New England's offense, but NE wouldn't pay him a serious RB contract and some other team will. Plus, Dion Lewis should be back and healthy to start next season and so if NE brings any runners in, I think it's guys who cant command real salary.
Forte did say recently that he doesn't care about money, he wants to win Super Bowls... But I think he could go to some other playoff contender who will pay him more. Maybe the Eagles add him because why the hell not add another high priced RB.

Which divisions do they play in 2016? They had the AFC South and the NFC East in 2015, easily the two worst divisions in football. The fact that they couldn't secure home field despite having a piece-of-cake schedule is what doomed them.
Cant defend Mallett or Hoyer decisions but Weeden was picked up via waivers due to injury. As a fan you have no choice but to hope they pick the best QB option available and run with it.
The bigger question whose idea exactly was it to IR Savage for the year? he was healthy 3-4 weeks into the season. Would have been a great chance to see what he has.
No one is giving Foster top salary for a RB nor a long term deal coming off major injuries the last few years. Arian is a different individual and is not driven by money at this point
Foster is perfect for NE. Versatile player who can line up anywhere and run or catch and is an underrated back to pick up blitzers and protect the QB while already knowing the base of NE's offensive scheme. Makes too much sense they wouldnt pursue him as a 3rd down back.

NFC west and Afc north
Pats offense suddenly isnt going to score if Edelman Gronk and Brady are healthy? Sure.
Yeah especially because they have the NFC West and AFC North this year. Probably the two best divisions in football there. Also as a side note, it was weird looking up the pats schedule and seeing LA listed as an away game again

Definitely a tougher schedule then. Seattle, AZ, the LA Rams and even Chip's Niners (don't forget what Chip did to you in NE with Sam Fucking Bradford at QB)... The Steelers always struggle with Brady... Burfict will be out to kill Gronk, Edelman and Brady, and no one should be sleeping on the Ravens next year. The Browns are the only easy win out of this group.
Really, the best case for everyone is if Brady wraps up his final three seasons by going 8-8, 5-11 and 3-13, starting with 2016.
We were Denvers kryptonite but that doesn't mean that we matched up well against the other teams.

Holy shit. A+ trash talking right there.
He does.
Chris Harris' interview is either going on near that podium or is being shown on a TV somewhere. That's a stupid setup and I definitely understand Cam walking out in that situation. Doesn't excuse the fumble or sideline stuff, but he definitely has a right to walk away there
It's too bad they don't make band aids for feelings.
LeSean McCoy beat up some off-duty cops this weekend.

Yes please

Totally disagree.
Unfortunately his job as team leader is to sit there and at least give one word answers to the questions being asked. Ez pointed out that Scott fucking Norwood answered questions about a missed field goal for 50 minutes after the Super Bowl.
Here's the overall perspective: there aren't really any team meetings left until OTAs. This is the last time most of the Panther players are going to hear their quarterback speak to the media. As a player, would you be excited about coming back to this team when your quarterback is behaving that way after shitting the bed in the Super Bowl? If you're a free agent, do you feel like you're trending upwards and next year is your year? Can you imagine Cam bouncing back from this loss emotionally and winning it all next year after behaving like that?
Players aren't robots. There's no guarantee that Cam isn't emotionally wrecked from this any different from how Kaepernick, RG3, Romo some years, etc. etc. got mentally destroyed.
A graceful half assed interview where he at least sits there and takes it would remove any unnecessary doubt from a player's mind heading into next season. There's already plenty of second guessing going on as it is.
Eli looked so devastated during that cutaway. It was amazing.

I am proud of my Broncos for that insane defensive performance last night, I just hope that my Panthers can bounce back next year and go deep into the playoffs again.
This is 100% truth.

Let's talk about the best part of the Super Bowl

I dunno, I was too scarred by puppy monkey baby to sleep last night. I don't really remember any other commercials.
Gif me can walking out with the band aid quite please friend.
One more thing from this link:
Its destiny at this point. The last part of that is a reach and if it did happen the Giants would be foolish to not make that trade
I only remember really that one and a Doritos one with pregnant women.

I liked the Doritos dog one better
Million dollar question. When his decision making takes a nose dive would be my answer. Also, JAG hasn't looked all that great from the little I have seen written about him.
There was and it was a shit ad made shittier with Kevin Butler in it.
Eli stood there looking so derpy after that touchdown.
Ehhh people are way overblowing that. Eli probably just knows it isn't over until it's over.
Brady is an old man now. He can't really get Bledsoed
I think Brady might keep playing until Jimmy's contract runs out and we'll have to draft another QB

National writers must be bored for some reason despite all this Super Bowl news.
Rodgers has full control of the offense at the line and is probably involved in every meeting for offensive scheming. I'd be more likely to believe he has a secret feud with TT.
Wow, talk about an overreaction. Cam isn't going to lose his confidence because of one bad loss that wasn't really his fault at all. He's played a lot worse than this and bounced back from it. As for his teammates, every single one I heard stood up for him saying some variation of "we didn't block/catch/get open for him". They don't give two shits about what he says to the media at this point, they all feel like they let him down. If this team suffers a Super Bowl hangover, it won't be because of Cam.
What more needs to be said?
Really? I remember that thing where Rodgers stopped him from illegally challenging a play and they seemed to kind of laugh it off a bit. Looked like they were on good terms to me
I mean it definitely is a story. Rodgers is a first ballot HoF QB and McCarthey is a SB winning coach. Same with the Payton and Brees drama. I've just never seen any on-field manifestation of any rift

Thats just because you like dags

I felt this thread needs more Russell. I'm sure Chris approves
That's because it doesn't exist. 5 years ago remember when Florio tried to make a huge deal of Rodgers going on NFLN and saying something some people construed as Rodgers criticizing the playcalling? It's garbage. They even like to bring up that Mccarthy didn't draft Rodgers, as though that is in any way relevant.
Packers fans click on links. So shitty writers feed it for attention. They make up a story and then claim "where there is smoke there is fire!!!!"
It's a joke.
