Jacksonville in an early hole v. 'Zona.

Don't let their defense score on you and it'll be tough for Bortles to come back.

Pats could take a 2 game lead for a bye.

Oh, I didn’t see that he did it again. Who’s stupider, the guy that wears it or the guy that rips it off?
I don't think it is smart for any player to be wearing jewelry. It gives the opponent a target. I feel the same way about long hair. But then again, I am an old, get off my lawn guy.

Wow who is this Kamara guy for NO? He just made half a dozen Rams miss tackles.

Honestly, if that is a TD for Cook, the NFL has to give it up. That's not a catch, from the way we've seen the rule interpreted.

Probably should be in the game thread, but most folks are in here, so what the hey

James Walker ESPN Staff Writer
Dolphins DB Bobby McCain explained his ejection and throwing a punch at Patriots WR Danny Amendola: "He was just doing [things]. He grabbed me by the neck. He grabbed me by the face mask one time -- just a lot of extra stuff. But it was extra by both of us. We were both in the wrong. I'm going to be honest and a man. We were both in the wrong. Unfortunately, I was the one who got ejected."

Can someone explain to me why the Niners traded for Jimmy G. if they aren't going to use him? They know the guy is a free agent at year end, right? You'd think they'd want to try and figure out what they have before they are stuck trying to decide whether or not to give him tens of millions of dollars, because if they don't, someone will.

They've all but said they're ok not playing him and putting the franchise tag on him at 25M

LOL. The only reason that would make sense is because they don't want to win games and mess up their draft position. Otherwise, WTF? Why wouldn't you want the guy to get some game experience before committing that kind of money to him?

Can you imagine a Patriot wide receiver getting tossed out of the game, and then telling Belichick "He ripped off my gold chain."

I think they want to give him every chance to succeed by giving him the most time possible to learn the playbook and terminology. No point killing his confidence in a lost season. Plus the weather sucks there today against a tough defense. They have like $100m in cap space next year so money isn't an issue. It is really frustrating though as a fan.
