Post Your Reactions to week 1
My team:
Holy shit this Vikings defense has the potential to be good, especially against QBs that are more prone to interceptions. I love the combination of Rhodes and Waynes and expect Waynes to only get better with starter snaps. Newman, Alexander, and Brock at...
Thursday, September 7th
Kansas City Chiefs @ New England Patriots, 8:30PM ET
Matchup:
There’s really no way to compare the offenses of these two teams. The Chiefs have an unknown at RB in Kareem Hunt and exactly zero viable every down options at WR. Travis Kelce appears to be their lone known...

Peterson is so fucking dumb. He should have nothing but gratitude for the Vikings after they brazenly, wrongly stood by him after he battered his 4 year old with a tree branch. What a...

How badly do the Jets want to tank for a new QB? They must like Josh Allen an awful lot.
Reaction to last night:
Wentz looks awesome with real receivers.
That Eagles defense didn't look great in base sets but it's pretty obvious they'll be quite good.
Jay Cutler is so much better than Ryan Tannehill it's fucking hilarious. The Dolphins are a playoff time without a doubt if they...
Well folks, we're officially less than two weeks away from the start of the season, so we should start offering some predictions and get the discussion rolling again. Use this thread to predict your team's first quarter of the season.
Monday, September 11th vs.
First things first:

This is a sad, sad day for me. I respect his decision to ensure better quality of life later on but he has several good years left in him. I'm just glad we got to watch him return to...
Time for some lists, some disagreements, and most importantly, some discussion.
1. Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers
He had a rough start to the season, but Rodgers returned to form as injuries derailed Minnesota, slicing through the rest of the division and NFL over one of the greatest 6...
Well folks, we're a week away from hopefully the best football game of the season. Here's a little questionnaire for everybody to try generate some discussion.
1. Who do you think will win?
2. Who do you want to win?
3. What kind of party will you attend/where will you watch the game?
4...
This discussion was inevitable. State your opinion on who has been the better player so far.
In my opinion, Carson has been noticeably better because he's been given more freedom. He can make dangerous throws when he needs to whereas Dak has such a great offense around him that he can just take...
There's no need to treat this thread like a pick 'em, but make some predictions about certain events that will happen in games in week 5.
1. I hate to do it, but I think Carson Wentz throws his first INT in Detroit, and it'll be Glover Quin who gets it.
2. Xavier Rhodes and the Vikings...
1. Broncos (4-0)
We heard it all before the season. The Broncos are down. The Raiders are on the upswing. Kansas City will be there. There's no way the Broncos are as good this season as they were last season. How quickly people forget how bad the QB play was in Denver last season, and the...

It's not an extremely long read, but it's an in-depth look into the Bison program and its fans. Please take a look, and if you do, I hope you enjoy it!
It’s hard for me to ask this question. I really like Teddy Bridgewater as a human being and as a prospective top half NFL quarterback. That being said, I don’t view him as having the potential to ever sneak into the elite ranks because of his physical limitations. He simply does not have the arm...
Brock Osweiler (Houston)
Included because he still hasn't started 16 games
The Good:
Almost nothing. He had a couple of nicely placed passes but they pretty much don't count if the drive in question doesn't result in points.
The Bad:
Oh dear god, where do I start? His INT to Jamie Collins...

Good fucking riddance. Please, Jerick, make AP expendable.
Dak Prescott (Dallas)
The Good:
Way to avoid turnovers, young man! He does a great job of setting his feet before throwing the ball and simply does not make questionable throws. He used his mobility nicely, this week, which was an added bonus considering he scored a running touchdown. Dak did...
2nd year Vikings WR Stefon Diggs was a phenom for stretches of the 2015 season--through his first four games, totaling 419 yards, including 6 catches for 87 yards in his very first game against Denver (we're talking Aqib Talib and Chris Harris Jr. trying to cover him, here). Through the last 9...
