Around the NFL halfway mark.

Somewhere out there is a 'smoking gun' league memo to all NFL officials to help Dallas win because ratings are down? Really? Of course we are not certain anyone got that memo since Dallas more than doubled the Eagles on penalties, being flagged 11 times for 84 yards to the Eagles 5 for 40 yards.

Agreed that Dak had his worst game thus far. But from the 'glass half full' perspective, on 2 scoring 4th quarter drives he was 5/8 with a game tying TD pass and in the OT he was 5/5 and a game winning TD. Admittedly he struggled up to that point. But one could argue that he showed up when needed most.

First of all, why did you lump my post in with the other posts that is speaking on conspiracy?

I only spoke what I saw last night, and stated officiating is comical.

NE trades Jamie Collins to the Browns for a 3rd round pick

Patriots trade Pro Bowl LB Jamie Collins to Browns (http://www.pal-item.com/story/sports/nfl/patriots/2016/10/31/jamie-collins-trade-new-england-cleveland-browns/93063344/)

Wonder what he did to piss NE off. lol

That has just got to suck. One day you are a stud LB on a perennial winner loaded with good to great players and that, this year, is on the fast track to the SB. Heck, the 2nd place team in your division has conceded you the Division Champion title.

Then - BOOM - you're a building block on a lost franchise that has only once managed as many as seven wins in the last nine years, that has the strong chance of going winless this year, and whose only stud player is an eight time all-pro left tackle who, after almost 10 years, has never even played in a playoff game.

Welcome to reality.

Collins on the second play of the game does whatever he wants and Bills gain 28 yards. Been happening all year. It was not going to continue

Probably explains some of his departure, and even read where they weren't even using him on all downs. Couple that with huge contract demands(von miller money), and it was a no brainer that BB moves him.

Apologies for any offense. All 3 posts were more or less consecutive, and was addressing the trend.

Knile Davis cut by the Packers.... after 2 games

And 0.5 ypc on 6 attempts

You gotta love the way the Pats do business. Mess with Belichick and you get traded to the Browns. And, of course, the brilliant Browns FO gives up a 3rd Round pick for him. Gee, I wonder why the two franchises are where they are in the pecking order?

yeah, I was wondering what the heck he must have been thinking when they told him that...no playoff check(s), no shot at a ring for a loooong time.

We're going to beat this Vikings team because we are better overall. They can't score and I knew that would come back to them eventually

Had a ton to do with money. They got a few guys on defense who they need to sign, this way they get something for him. He was the expendable because Malcolm Butler and Hightower will be re signed. What is insane is that they are on their way to a super-bowl type year, and BB is selling. They just re-load. Crazy. He has done this before.

I am here reading more than you might think.



Figured two posts a year was about all you gents would tolerate from me any way. Think this hits my yearly quota.



Dude - your posts are in the nature of respected adversary. More tolerable than some of the stuff from actual Skins fans (like those who want to bench Cousins, cut Hopkins, trade Jones for a stale waffle, etc). I can only speak for myself, but you and Giantone are ok in my books. Even though you like loathesome teams.
