Recap
PFT CommenterTodd Bowles is a top-ten NFL coach
I still think that Todd Bowles is a top-ten coach. Everybody knows the Dolphins always play the Jets tough.
PFT CommenterThe Patriots are going to trade for Josh Gordon
If you're anything like me, your first reaction [to the Josh Gordon news] was the fucking Patriots are going to get him.
Big CatThe Buccaneers cannot sit Ryan Fitzpatrick if he wins in Week 3
Ryan Fitzpatrick, if he wins week three, how can they sit him? I don't know what's going on with Ryan Fitzpatrick, but I am ready, much like Case Keenum last year where we had to ask ourselves many times... Ryan Fitzpatrick, if he wins week three, how can they sit him?
HankPatriots September losses never matter
The Patriots always lose these games in September. It never matters. I got another stat from this from Tim Whelan on Twitter. So the last three years in which the Patriots reached the Super Bowl, they lost by double digits within the first four weeks.
Big CatBears vs. Seahawks is the most important game in franchise history
I think the Bears, as I said, not me overreacting to the loss against the Packers. I called it the most important game in franchise history. And as such, I think they will win.
PFT CommenterChris Carson will run for a lot of yards against the Bears
I think the Bears are going to win. I'm eager to see [Chris Carson] run for a shitload of yards, as I predicted.
Who Is Back
PFT CommenterRoger Goodell is making kickers miss to justify getting rid of ties
We had a theory last year... that Roger Goodell was trying to save football or at least appear like he was the good guy by having all of his kickers miss these easy field goals so that he could come in and change the rules and get rid of ties altogether.
Big CatWisconsin is out of the national title race after losing to BYU
The one redeeming quality about Wisconsin Badger football fans is we are realists to a fault. I never, we're not, we're out of the national, you know. It's not going to happen. We could win every game and it still wouldn't happen. You can't lose as 23 and a half point favorites.
Interview
Mike FlorioJosh Gordon will be traded on Monday
I think [Josh Gordon] is going to be traded at some point on Monday. And then the Browns wash their hands of him.
Mike FlorioJosh Gordon's likely landing spots are the Seahawks, Patriots, or 49ers
I think that Seattle would be one of the teams... I think the Patriots would have to be considered... I'd say Seahawks, Patriots, 49ers would be the three teams I'd watch.
Mike FlorioThe NFL should treat QBs like kickers and prohibit all contact after the ball is out
Just treat the quarterback like a punter or a kicker. Once the ball's out, you can't touch him. Then there's no ambiguity... if you don't touch the ball and the ball's out and you hit the quarterback, it's a foul just like it is for a punter and a kicker.
Mike FlorioTodd Haley will take over for Hue Jackson at some point this season
I think Todd Haley is the guy that ends up taking over at some point for the rest of the season, at some point this year [in Cleveland].
Monday Reading
PFT CommenterNick Saban is an underachiever because he only wins a title every other year
Nick Saban's an underachiever... with this in mind, five national titles really does not seem like enough in an 11-year period. If Saban were as good at being a head coach as he is at recruiting, Alabama would have won the national title on a yearly basis. But he isn't.
