Even harder when you play in the NFC.

lol lol

 

[Kastrioti]

Stafford would have to make it to the AFC Title game first. Can't do that if you don't win at least one playoff game.

Stafford doesn't have the luxury of playing the Jaguars, Titans and Texans 6 times a year, let alone the rest of the AFC which isn't up to par with the NFC.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

That was a fun hour in here where people were legitimately saying any of the Patriots would take this to court and win

Patriots will have to start a season without a quarterback. Big deal, the Browns do that every year.

Request permission to join the NFC south. Basically the same as the AFC south, but without the colts.

Wait I get it

bionic must have gotten pre-banned because Wes didn't want to deal with his shit for this announcement

It's like the pre-bans for the nutcases on gaming side before E3

stafford played a WORSE division than that when erron was hurt for most of the season 2 years ago... still couldn't cash in on a division title

You mustn't be aware that Stafford has thrown for 5000 yards in a season.

 

[slabrock]

time for Tom to pass the torch to Jimmy G

5000 is the new 4000

 

[Goro Majima]

You mustn't be aware that Stafford has thrown for 5000 yards in a season.

Also that he took over a team that was 0-16 like 8 seasons ago.

It's not impossible

We'll get at least two games to see how good the kid is. He has shown a lot more promise than any other QB since brady.

 

[cdyhybrid]

The best part is we'll get a whole new round of meltdowns if the suspension is upheld.

 

[Sequence Six]

Or reduced.

Enough vocal people will make a fuss either way.

Nah, Goodell is in Kraft's pocket, that wouldn't surprise anyone.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Well done Gata. Your check cleared too. Brady got a slap on the wrist

 

[Alligatorjandro]

[Kastrioti]

Ugh, already this and it's only May.

Are the Lions eliminated yet?

wienke I haven't even given my W-L prediction yet or thoughts on the draft.

Suffice to say I am very confident going into this season.

Despite Jay Cutler having an atrocious season last year, he was a solid starting QB for the Bears most of the time and anytime you have a solid QB playing for your team it'll be a tough time for any opponents.

Jay Cutler is a better QB than the Jaguars, Texans and possibly Titans have ever had.

The 2013 failure was mostly not on Stafford though if we're going to bring up that season.

Mark Lane @therealmarklane
On @1053thefan, Brandon Weeden says he's learned more about QB in the last year with the #Cowboys than he did in the past 4 at OSU & Browns.

[squicken]

Friends, today is a day for celebration. Yes, the punishment might not have been as harsh as some of us would have wished. Yes, it is unfortunate that the NFL acted slowly and as a result a fourth Super Bowl will now eventually be vacated. But today the history books will finally record what we have all long known in our hearts to be true:

Tom Brady and the New England Patriots are cheaters.

Exactly. You can't discuss the Pats or Brady w/o also going into the cheating. Every TV special, interview, whatever, forever and ever, they will always bring up the cheating when discussing the Patriots "dynasty"

If Goodell was on the level, Tammy would be done.

 

[squicken]

Shouldn't be lost that Goodell did a solid for the Rooneys and Jerry. Guess fitting in the Maras would have been too obvious

 

[sf2fanatic]

Better than McNair and Moon?


Kas stahp!!!

 

[Alligatorjandro]

nah bruh

 

[Sweeney Tom]

and also if it is reduced

It's not getting reduced any less than 2 games, which is still much more of a punishment than precious babies got before, so why would we complain about justice being served anyway

@PFTCommenter
If the NFL really wanted to make Tom Brady disapear for a while they should of just told him they were pregnant

Yeah Schaub was Shit. Yet he still kicked the Lions ass in Detroit.....

 

[Purple Cheeto]

Obviously, a third-round pick is always going to be more valuable than a fourth-rounder. Where this really becomes disconcerting for the Lions is if they take a step backward this year. The estimate above projects that they’ll have the 16th pick in the third round, and even that reasonable estimate — given that they grossly outplayed their peripheral statistics last season — suggests this would be an ugly trade. If the Lions finish 6-10 or so, this could end up looking like no. 113 for, say, the 72nd pick. Detroit took defensive tackle Gabe Wright, and while it had a need at tackle, it’s a serious price to pay when the Lions could have grabbed a veteran like Barry Cofield or Red Bryant off the waiver wire and used that third-round pick on a defensive tackle next year.

This has been a rough couple of weeks for Skip Bayless. First Manny gets beat, LeBron hits a game winner, then Brady gets suspended.

Robert Kraft's words make it seem like the Patriots won't unconditionally accept the NFL's punishment, as he'd said they would last week. This ensuing fight is going to be a lot of fun. I hope Kraft burns down the house of cards that Goodell has built up (and, obviously, ironically, which Kraft helped build).

 

[Kastrioti]

Better than McNair and Moon?


Kas stahp!!!

Touché, I take that back though Cutler is certainly a talented, gifted QB who just doesn't have it mentally. That's why I said "possibly"

It's fun to say things.

 

[chuckddd]

I guess Kr*ft's millions were supposed to make Goodell ignore the P*ts blatant cheating. It worked before, why wouldn't he think it wouldn't work again?

Man that OT thread. Don't know why I even bothered to go in.

A bunch on NFL fans who don't even know thw basics of what happened, why it matters, and then the anti-sports brigade.

I wouldn't mind seeing the suspension reduced. I need Dallas to lose week 5.

My man.

Let's for a reduction to 2 games. Fuck the Cowboys!

It was asinine to think there wouldn't be a sanction.

 

[Cybit]

If Kraft appeals; this is going to get fantastic soon. The NFLPA has to be drooling. Whatever happens, either the Patriots fans will hate Goodell, or the other owners will believe that Goodell and Kraft are too close.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

I find this amusing
