It's okay. We'll make sure the Pats start next year with a losing record

Poor Shanahan. That was as good a team as he's going to coach for a long time. He'll make a ton of cash in San Francisco but it seems like he's set up to fail there with a crappy roster, crappy ownership and a GM who has zero experience in any management/front office position.

Yeah cause that's the game that matters. By the way Gronk will be back.

I know last night means more, but you can't change the past.

And Gronk isn't the one that we have to stop... Or who the Patriots have to stop.

New coordinator we'll see how it works out until then.... I'm watching the gronkless patriots beat the falcons.

Fixed that for ya.

I like the Cowboys because they're one of the two main teams my family likes. Can't think of a better reason to support a team than family loyalty/tradition. It's part of why I refuse to move on to another team, despite the knowledge my team might not win another championship while I'm alive.

Eh I really don't care who people like it just the reasons people give for liking the current good teams in leagues is what gives me laughs.

Only thing that bothers me is people from Orlando not liking the Magic. ☺

I'm a big fan of the America's game series. Who do you think they get to narrate and do team commentary?

Narrator- Mark Wahlberg (want James earl jones- embrace the dark side)

Team- Butler, Blunt, Brady

Are you ok there J-E-T-S fan ? remember you once told me to suck it up with the deflate gate thing so this is for you now we are 5 times champs

Love the swagger, fellas but let's actually make it to September first. And keep Aldon off of social media!

Aldon Smith, who has 47.5 sacks in 59 career games, rejoining the Raiders would also seemingly give them a much-needed boost in their pass rush after Oakland finished last in the NFL with 25 sacks. This despite the presence of NFL Defensive Player of the Year Khalil Mack, who had 11 sacks, and Bruce Irvin, who had seven sacks.

“I’m back,” he said on Instagram Live. “And there’s nobody who can stop me.”

Seemingly answering questions from viewers, Smith added, “You already know it. Raider Nation, we got this s---.”

Bruce Irvin took to Twitter to offer his thoughts on Smith joining the likes of Mack, Irvin and a healthy Mario Edwards, saying, “It’s not gonna be fair.”

Since 1991, including the playoffs, entering Super Bowl LI, teams trailing by 25+ points had a W-L record of 4 and 1057. WOW.

[Batman1980]

WGR 550's Sal Capaccio reports the Bills have yet to make a decision on Tyrod Taylor.
Capaccio reports new coach Sean McDermott and his staff have been looking at the tape and discussing whether they think he should be the starter in 2017. Even if they settle on yes, Buffalo could try to renegotiate the almost $31 million in guarantees Taylor is set to earn as soon as his option is picked up. The Bills have until March 11 to pick up the option, so they will likely wait to see what is available on the free agent market and via trade before making their final decision.

There's no way the Bills are bringing back Tyrod Taylor on his current contract. If he won't renegotiate their best move might be to decline his option and release him and then let him see his value on the open market and compare that to whatever the Bills are offering.

Falcons had a 99.5% win probability at one point.

A guy I know posted a picture on Facebook where he's wearing a Patriots jersey and holding up five fingers for their five championship...now I grew up with this guy in the late 80s/90s and he was a hardcore 49ers fan all through the time we went to school together. I haven't spoken to him much since high school and have no idea when he became a Patriots fan, but he's the type of "fan" I can't stand.

I think growing up until your teenager you can root for whoever you want. As a kid I was the biggest Steve young fan. But I also moved a lot as a kid and my family has the craziest fan group. Pats- me and my gf and 1 nephew, packers- nephew, falcons-bro in law and nephew, mom- steelers, dad- browns() and my brother - bandwagon.

Steve Sarkisian to be new Falcons OC

I'm really surprised by how quickly Sark's career rebounded. When he got canned at USC it seemed like he'd have to spend years rehabilitating his career but after less than a season at Alabama he's an NFL OC.
