That trade away of the #1 pick sure is looking good for the Bears. Could well end up landing them Caleb Williams and Marvin Harrison Jr.

I don't know if you happened to watch the Patriots today, but they have a great shot at the number 1 overall because they are hot garbage. Bears are a far better team than the patriots playing in a far easier division.

And KC without Kelce is not going to be pretty, they need to make a trade imo.

Goes to show how important TB12 was to Bill and the Pats.

And you'd be laughing at me right about now.

Can't speak for Bryce but I knew CJ would do alright. Good for him.

They don't need a QB.

Another week.... another letdown by a number of teams losing that should have won, parlays lost, fantasy teams barely competitive. Sigh.

Yeah he's done well so far and had a great game today. I love what the Texans did in the draft selecting the best QB available and then moving up for their second first round pick and getting the best defensive player in Will Anderson Jr.

He hasn't quite been as impressive and excited the fanbase as much as Deshaun Watson did in his rookie season, but it's very promising.

Starting 1-4 myself, largely due to 3 picks the site made for me for some reason. Just going to be a bad year, oh well.

Just look at Bill's record with TB12 and without him. He makes Jason Garrett look like Tom Landry and Andy Reid.

Jets gameball went to Hackett... pretty funny stuff. Sean Payton might be in a league of his own for biggest @ssholes.

Miami's Mike McDaniel's press conferences - oh man that guy is funny.

Damn I wasn't expecting a blowout.

[DragonOfTheBlackPool]

Great game for the 49ers last night!! If they continue playing like that, they will have the top ranked offense and defense in the league.

[Tony208]

This is who Dak has been for years, he has peaked as a QB.

Unfortunately, we can only replace him if we can get someone better. The only guy who is better and could be available next season is Kirk Cousins. Maybe get Baker Mayfield on a good deal.

Parlays are a fun bet but also a terrible bet basically impossible to win long term playing them.
Especially the premade like the kay adams parlays on fanduel.
Pro bettors do play some but its kinda rare so that tells you all you need to know.

MIA offense avg 514 yrds thru 5 games thats the most ever.
SF 403 so unless MIA falls apart they will be hard to catch.

Yep.
I would go thru my usual mike/dak soliloquy with the "give him the $$" crowd but i would just be copying/pasting things ive already said 1,000x before.

Don't think you would find many to argue that, but i also think Tom would not have 7 rings on his fingers either if it wasn't for Bill.

This is nothing new, most long time franchise coaches like this never end well, most time practically having to be carried out the door at the end. The game looks like it has passed Bill by and it's time to move on imo.

Time to either let him retire or fire him and replace him with Mayo as interim head coach for the rest of the season, bring up Malik Cunningham and see if his legs can piece together the rest of the season and see what you have with him. His 1/4 and a half of preseason play has been about the only bright spot for this team this season so far. Mac Jones is just not the answer here, he needs a solid offensive line and we don't have that here, nor will we for a couple seasons.

[Tony208]

Cowboys have been ass on the road against anyone not the sorry Giants so they will probably lose @ Chargers unless the Chargers charger a way to lose a close game.

I'm out on Dak after last night and I've been in his corner since we drafted him in 2016. He peaked and that will never be enough to get a ring. If the Cowboys *really* had guts, they'd bench Dak right now and see what Lance can do the rest of the way so they know going into the draft whether or not they need to heavily invest draft capital to get someone new.

The loss of Trevon Diggs was even more crucial than I believed, it absolutely crippled our secondary. Bland is a ball hawk and Gilmore is a technician but neither of them are good enough to be CB1. Trickles down to the rest of the secondary and then to the rest of the defense.

Who would you be able to get that is going to be better than Dak? The worst thing you can do is move on, and then have a lesser option behind center. Keep in mind no one is crowned in October. The teams that win the Super Bowl are rarely the teams who were the best in the first half of the season.

Yeah it's just 8 years of Dak and 2 play-off wins. We had the same problem with replacing Romo and I'd say Dak is the same caliber of QB. Really good at times but can't get it done past the wild card round of the play-offs. The entire team crapped the bed yesterday and that includes Dak. Lance has the talent, let's see what he's got. If he can't do it, draft a new QB who can. If nothing else, it'll light a fire under Dak and he'll either wilt or do better.
