Can we honestly rule out whether or not the Patriots are going around giving the rest of the league the Tonya Harding treatment?
I'm not 100% convinced on letting them off the hook for the mental issues Rodgers is having either.

It's more probable than not that the Patriots are responsible for these issues, among others.
sad!

Asterisks didn't have their home field where they are free to scramble communications and steal playbooks.

Dayum, that already sounds epic.
I dunno this was a big week for NFC Defenses. He earned it, but players on the Vikings, Eagles, Cards and Hawks could also compete for it.
Honestly might be addition by subtraction. When he went down Jenkins went into the slot and Jaylen Watkins took over and the D looked arguably better. Brooks has been underwhelming. Still a shame that he got injured

How long until the Steelers learn how to cover Rob Gronkowski?
Never underestimate or trust a cheater. I heard that straight from Rudy T (paraphrased slightly).
You make a strong case. You had me at Patriots and your linking them to bad behavior.
Lock them up! Lock them up!
People talk about a QB shortage, but there is nothing like the OL shortage. Seems like there are 5 or 6 teams that are non-functional at times b/c of the offensive line
Y'all may have forgotten but in 2011, at the age of 23, Matthew Stafford dropped 5,000 yards, 41 TDs on the NFL and led the Lions to there first playoff appearance in over a decade. Only 3 years removed from the worst team in NFL history.
He's always been one of the best Quarterbacks in the league, certainly arm strength wise, in the NFL. For a couple of reasons he was held back from 2012-2015.
After the 2011 season, from 2012-2014 he had literally no #2 option to throw to opposite of Megatron. In 2011 he had Nate Burleson, Titus Young Jr., Tony Scheffler and a few others.
When we got Golden Tate III opposite of Megatron he was hindered by the worst offensive coordinator in the league in Joe Lombardi. 7 step drops with no semblance of a pass protection wasted those seasons.
Now we see Matthew Stafford as I always said he should be. In full control of the offense, Peyton Manning style, running quick routes to move the chains with the threat of a deep pass always looming.
What's even more remarkable is he's doing this yet again with no running game to speak of because of injuries to our Top 3 RBs. He is the MVP right now.
He better get a mention in this weeks OT after no mentions the past two weeks.

It's a major, major issue, particularly when you don't have a QB like Russell or Luck that can still make some plays with a dysfunctional o-line.
The Dolphins have three first round picks starting on their o-line as well as Brandon Albert (big money FA) and Bushrod (decent money FA). That is a lot of resources! And even with all of that, if one of those guys goes down the offense ceases to function. It's insane how much of an issue this is in the modern NFL. I'm not sure what's causing it to be honest, just seems like so few quality o-linemen coming out of college these days.
Ya, Graham was a beast yesterday.
I also want to see Smith in action. Can't wait till next week.

Ravens are an abomination. Four straight losses, yet they're sitting in second with a chance for first if they beat the Steelers this week. The AFC North is a trash fire.
Ravens will lose to Pitt this week. I honestly don't see any possible wins on the schedule except for the Pats, who the Ravens always play tight.
Fuck Flacco

Steelers didn't lose because of Gronk. They lost because they couldn't contain Blount the deserter.
Blount. He walks off the Steelers sideline two years ago and goes straight back to the Asterisks (with a playbook in tow no doubt).
Sanjuro is white?
I don't have that number on my jersey.
Graham, McLeod, and Hicks all beasted. Hicks in particular returned to 2015 form. He's been good this year but not eye-popping like last year. But this statline:
is crazy good. It was against a pretty shit offense with a terrible OL, but still.
They don't play this week. Good luck against BYE.

Makes it sad for me because Green Bay has a good line for once right now.
Unless there's something to the theory that the blueprint for beating Rodgers is pocket containment and they're intentionally keeping him there and only rushing 3-4.

Harbaugh is 26-29 since their Super Bowl season.
Reed and Lewis coached that team. That's why the "near mutiny" happened that Super Bowl year. Harbaugh needs the playoffs this year or he's in serious hot water.

Browns defensive line gonna be stout if they stick together. Wish my bengals grabbed Ogbah instead of William Jackson III. Defense is only missing a weakside linebacker playmaker and a serviceable corner opposite from Haden to be formidable. Barnridge is a good TE, when he has a QB.
The Browns draft strategy needs to be a offensive line development. And protecting Kessler given that they are finally willing to stick with a QB.

So I know it's a small sample size but I'm already willing to say I like Ajayi more than Miller. Miller had some nice games for the Dolphins but they were almost always against teams with a bad run d. His running style was always feast or famine, lots of runs for no gain or a loss because of his lack of power. He's a finesse back and that killed the Dolphins when they played teams with a tough front 7.
Meanwhile, Ajayi is a violent, powerful runner who doesn't waste time in the backfield. This is the type of running back I love. He won't dazzle you with cuts like a McCoy or Miller but he's not afraid of contact and he's shown he can handle a bell cow workload. Good offenses need a consistent running game and so far he's brought that to the table.
The home run is nice for inflating numbers and beating up on bad teams but it's not a sustainable formula for success. Give me a Marshawn, Blount, or Ajayi any day of the week.
Not saying he's the same caliber of player but Ajayi's style reminds me of Ricky Williams.

While he's contained how is it possible that he's less accurate the longer the play lasts?
I went with my girlfriend to the Niners game yesterday. At least I got to see them destroyed in person. It helped soften the blow of yesterday's game. I thought I'd be the only one wearing Steelers gear, but there were like 10 others that I saw - and I probably got about 100+ comments from people about my Brown jersey (including how he ain't doing shit for their fantasy team). Some dude covered in gang tattoos also tried to fight me. And I saw some guy with his face completely bloodied, with a pool of blood on the cement below him in the parking lot at Levi's. Why are Bay Area fans such degenerates?
As for the game yesterday, it was a lot closer then I thought it'd be. We just need to get healthy, because there's only so much the "next man up" mentality can carry you Lol.

Does anyone want to trade Olines with the Vikings?
That would be great if your could.

Another thing that I don't think I've seen mentioned by any media outlet is how Staffords rushing ability has been absolutely huge this season.
He is 7th out of all QBs in terms of rushing yards and in the Top 100 for all position players in rushing yards.
http://pickingpros.com/nfl/quarterback-rushing-leaders.php
He has had some big runs and big moments to gain first downs or more. Defenses will drop almost everyone back in coverage and he'll run for 10, 15, 20 yards.
We're going to smoke the Vikings in two weeks. Stafford going to get his revenge for those late hits last season.

I really really hope Oline stays health for the rest of the year (I know it's asking a lot)
And I really like how energized Gase has made this team, the last two weeks I've seen an entirely different feeling from this team that I haven't seen in years.

Absolutely. You can see the blueprint developing which is very high praise for a first year HC. Next up is learning how to sustain that.
What are your thoughts on Miller vs. Ajayi?

I did not forget. I went to the Christmas Eve game in 2011 against the Chargers when we clinched the playoff spot. It was glorious.
Then the Saints crushed us in the wild card. Not as glorious.

I travel every year to games, and every time I do, it just adds another stadium/fanbase to add to the list of ones that are better than SF. Only place I've been touched. Only place that was quiet. And the parking sucks, as does the public transportation. I had to take like four different things to get there

Ed Valentine hits the nail on the head in so far as the Giants offense:
This is not the offense of the last two years and the crazy thing - they have more talent! They have more playmakers! If you're a Giants fan, you're scratching your head in disbelief. The defense is being hung out to dry in these games given how lopsided the time of possession has been in these games.
Also, did McAdoo honestly put an injured Odell Beckham to field punts after Harris went down? Da fuq, bro?
