According to the Daily Mail, Patriots executives are “on edge” due to HC Bill Belichick and his longtime girlfriend Linda Holliday breaking up.

They have concerns about stuff she may post on social media.

That’s all I need… goal line RB. I got so many points when NE had Blount because of this.

Perhaps Wabo should look inward and direct his ire towards his own overpaid, under-achieving QB.

T.J. Hockenson. He's gonna light it up.

Even though I think my Patriots are going to stink the joint up this season as their o-line is just a dumpster fire, I'm kind of pumped to see how everything else shakes out this season in the AFC.

Too bad AR-8 is a Jet. Another year, no playoffs.

Yeah, that's the one.

Anyone else feel the betting line at 4.5 is too low for tonight's game, I'm thinking the Chiefs win by at least six points.

Well, TJ is now getting PAID, so he better light something up.

I decided I am going with Kmet....I think if they play Kelce, he will just be used as a decoy to keep the defense honest more than anything else.

wouldn't be the Raiders without some kind of drama

Chandler Jones says Raiders sent crisis team to his home

HENDERSON, Nev. -- Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Chandler Jones, in his latest missive against the team, posted on social media late Wednesday night that the Raiders sent a member of a crisis response team to his home, before deleting the Instagram story posts.

Jones showed a picture of an expired badge belonging to a member of the Vegas CRT and wrote, "RAIDERS SENT HER TO MY PLACE SAID .. YOU NEED TO COME WITH US 'YOU'RE IN DANGER'," with a laughing face emoji.


"THEY HAD ME OUTSIDE IN MY DRAWS LOL.. NAKED," Jones later added.

"THAT LADY WAS RUDE. THEN I GOT TO SHOWING HER SOME OF THEM TEXT. AND THEN SHE SWITCHED UP..BUDDY FROM THE RAIDERS TRIED TO GIVE ME THE LOOK..LIKE 'DON'T SAY ANYTHING'

"NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY PLAYERS TURN TO SOCIAL MEDIA. AT FIRST I FROWNED UPON IT. BUT IT'S OUR ONLY OUTLET. IF I DIDN'T DO THIS, IT WOULD'VE BEEN KEPT UNDER WRAPS..

"ANYBODY INTERVIEW THEM AND ASK WHY I'M NOT ON WITH THE TEAM?

"BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW"


Jones, who missed a handful of practices late in training camp for an undisclosed reason, also posted a screenshot of an alleged Aug. 18 text exchange with Raiders coach Josh McDaniels, in which Jones later said, "I WON'T SHARE ANYTHING ELSE" if the Raiders let him play in Sunday's season opener at the Denver Broncos.

"Y'ALL SEE HOW BUDDY TALK TO ME LIKE I'M A ITEM? LMAO LOOK AT MY TEXT AND LOOK AT HIS," Jones posted.

Jones also posted video of himself winning reps in a joint practice with the San Francisco 49ers.

Jones, 33, is entering the second season of his three-year, $51 million free agent contract with the Raiders and initially took to social media Wednesday morning, saying he no longer wanted to play for Las Vegas.

McDaniels said Wednesday that Jones' situation was a "personal situation ... a private matter" he would not discuss with the media.

"We've never really gone into those kind of things, so I'm going to steer away from that," McDaniels said at the time.

The Raiders did not reply to a request for comment on Jones' latest since-deleted posts, and McDaniels is not scheduled to speak with the media Thursday, although the team is scheduled to practice with an open locker room afterward.

I agree....and this game has the largest over/under of all the games at 53.5 currently, so points should be a plenty.

They also had Brady who could move the ball down to the 1 and then let Blount run that shit in lol

This past week has been tough at work, had to work really late a few nights and running on maybe 21 hrs sleep since Sunday. And then I remember there's a game tonight. I go scrambling for my YouTube TV password because I had to sign up on a different account I don't normally use (long story). Can't find the login and I start getting annoyed.

Then I remember it isn't Sunday.

I need some sleep.

Andy best have a talk with his D.
