I like Tampa's defense, but I think the Packers win a close game.

I'll be rooting for Brady and the Bucks

That's what ended up killing the Pats.  Their draft pics were busts.

  Dude you don't know the half of it.Perhaps it's because I've(we've) always been a college football fan(s) that collectively we have a better grasp of Draft Evaluation.Specially after the Browns got moved from 1995-2000.I've previously mentioned to Mdot one year Belichick had this mad lust for some reason a tight end in the 1st rd of the draft.Well right before the Browns pick the Jets grabbed that TE.The League (at the time) allocated 15 minutes between picks or you drop back one spot.As the time ticked away we're wondering what BB was going to do.The idiot didn't have a plan "B" pick ready which given his attention to detail was surprising.He absolutely panicked and picked Craig Powell a LB from Ohio State,who sat out the whole previous season with a torn ACL.It was maddening Browns fans were calling for his head.....little did we know.

  And to prove that was no fluke a few yrs earlier BB drafted "TouchDown" Tommy Vardell in the 1st rd (9th overall) in the draft.He was a short yardage specialist from Standford.Sometimes I wondered if BB was a deliberate plant by the NFL to get stadiums built in Baltimore and Cleveland

  I like Tampa, simply because they just have more talent top to bottom and they have the greatest post-season big game performer ever at QB- but I'm giving Green Bay a real good shot because it's at home in the cold and Rodgers is a truly great QB.

 Hedge much?Well get off the fence who are you picking?

he picked Tampa

just not in a blowout

It was reported that apparently Brees was playing through a torn rotator cuff this year. Ouch.

Ya that would smart - went down swinging

Lions and Stafford mutually agree to part ways. Detroit is fielding offers for him as we speak. 

I think he’d be a great fit in Washington. That’s a top 3 defense in the nfl. They need a couple pieces on offense- namely a QB and a skill weapon or two- and they’d be legit contenders.

I assumed Indy, but it sounds like SF figured out Jimmy sucks, and it's only a $2 million cap hit to cut him now.

I think San Fran has known Jimmy G isn’t all that for a couple seasons now. I wouldn’t say he sucks. It’s not like he’s Blake Bortles or Blaine Gabbert bad. I’d say he’s mediocre- he’s a real good back-up to average starter at best. He’s not a franchise QB nor is he worth anywhere near the money they paid him. 

If San Francisco would trade the 12th pick for Stafford straight up I’d do that in a second if I was the Lions.

Packers coming after Brady on 3rd down with the Blitz

Brady up to the task so far

[Mdot21]

Fournette running like the tip-toe burglar and dropping a couple catchable balls already. He's so talented but so freaking inconsistent. I don't know why- but for whatever reason he just hasn't ever put it all together in the NFL.  

Brady looking really sharp hitting three straight 3rd down conversions, one for 27 yard to Evans, one for 14 yards to Godwin, and then the TD on 3rd and 7 to Evans.

[Mdot21]

Antonio Brown- arguably Tampa's most talented WR out. Antonie Winfield Jr- their starting rookie safety and by far their best player in the secondary- out as well. 

[FearlessF]

Antonie Winfield Jr is the bigger loss imo
