Apparently, the Browns were selling tickets for $1 and even that wasn't enough to entice fans to fill the stadium

Scouts probably have seen him enough (plus can still scout him at CFL games) and figure it's not worth a shot and taking up a spot on their 52 man roster. I guess they would rather let a draft pick earn a spot and see what they can work with instead of having to develop an older vet who has nothing new to learn off of and would eventually fall back to their old habits

True. Although we've got many flops such as our very own Casey Printers for example who never succeeded in Kansas and when he came back, he was never the same. I've always wondered if Dave Dickenson had ever thought about trying to go for the NFL again and if he did, would he have succeeded. I remember he was a great pocket passer with precise passing and was so calm and cool on the field. I do know his first stint wasn't that great but over the years, he must've thought about trying for the NFL again..

Does Doug Flutie count?

I didn't say it wasn't a clean hit. I'm just saying Thomas got his lick in and it was all legal. Just that Thomas had a shot at putting a good hit on Gronk and he did while all legal

Dunno how skewed that statline of "vs blitz" is.. I mean honestly how long have they been tracking this stat to determine that? Only trolls mention the asterisk whenever it comes to the Patriots accomplishments in the past decade. Well I mean, he put that lick in on Gronkowski on an incomplete pass which I'm calling it the reason why Gronk is out for the rest of the season so I guess karma got to him?

I love how FOX somehow picked out a fan at Gillette Stadium and the commentators are just ogle and in love that a fan looks nearly exactly like Matt Patricia.. Got the hat on backwards, full on beard, red hoodie, everything.. Was hilarious to see

I can't remember who put that lick in on Gronk against Seattle (I think it was Earl Thomas, or could be Chancellor) but that person must be feeling pretty good about himself right now for pretty much being the reason why Gronk is done for the season

Nvm.. I was reading the page wrong.. Seabass' contract expires this year

I think they should change it up... Instead of a commercial break after every switch of possession and/or kickoff/punt, they should just continue. So for example, each team will possess the ball on offence once each time and then go to commercial and keep doing this until the 2 min warning for each half and then of course halftime. If not, then instead of sticking in a 2 min slot for commercial after a punt or even a kickoff, let the team that receives the ball go on offence right away and THEN go to commercial when their possession is over. So for example from kickoff.. Kickoff team 1 offence team 1 ends up punting team 2 receives team 2 goes on offence and ends up punting team 1 receives... cut to commercial and so forth If Team 1 scores a touchdown then maybe after the PAT go to commercial and then come back for the kickoff So for example... Kickoff Team 1 offence Team 1 TD Team 1 PAT = good Commercial Kickoff Team 2 offence Team 2 punt Team 1 receive Team 1 offence Team 1 punt commercial If that makes sense... It'll cut down on commercial time and will help provide more live action although the games would be cut short by around 30 minutes or so more or less

Probably put all of their game prep into beating the Pats and came out flat today against the Bucs. I didn't watch the game but judging by the score, sure looked like it. Seahawks seem to have a problem this year with offence. Not the first time this season they couldn't score a TD.

Gostkowski misses yet another FG. 39 yards out. I'm sure nearly everyone in Pats nation has lost faith in Gostkowski now considering his dreadful performance so far this season.

I caught one but haven't seen another since. Caught mine off a 140 cp Pidgey

If the Pats did it, everyone will call it cheating and we won't hear the end of it. NFL would change the rule as soon as they can just because of this.

I kinda miss the old Jets-Patriots rivalry during the Rex Ryan era... That was some good football.. Bills Rex Ryan doesn't have the same intensity compared to Jets Rex Ryan

I'm kinda pissed that I spent a lot of my stardust on powering up my Victreebels and Wigglytuffs only to find out the CPs got deducted by a bunch. I can at least recoup the stardust through the 2x event but still.. Grinding and powering them up took a long time.. People are now reporting Ditto is catchable too

Seriously what the hell is wrong with Gostkowski this year...

Gotta say, the Saints and Panthers colour rush uniforms look spectacular

Finally completed my NA Dex plus a Farfetch'd... Gonna take a break although I might just play for like 5 mins per day to get the daily bonus. I need them stardust

Just wondering if you had watched preseason at all but any thoughts on Rashaun Simonise? He's from Vancouver as well and from my high school and I know he didn't make the roster but just wondering your thoughts. I didn't get to watch him much. I realize he's probably a longshot to make the NFL for the next couple of seasons.

I just said in the post that it was a bad call.. In real time and the way Edelman's helmet was positioned against Sherman's arm, it looked like a facemask but it clearly wasn't after replay showed.

I know the loss of Jamie Collins was huge but even with him, I doubt the coverage on the field wouldn't have changed... Had no idea what the hell the D was doing. No idea why Logan Ryan wasn't benched. He had a terrible first half and the second half didn't improve either. Just kept letting guys go in open coverage. Ryan was one of the biggest reasons why Seattle was able to continue sustaining drives and making long passes (including two TDs)

We did. 3 times. Just couldn't break the plane. Unfortunate Brady fumbled the ball on a sneak when he's 99% automatic. A lot of noncalls and bad calls last night. Especially the 15 yard facemask to Sherman when he clearly grabbed Edelman's shoulderpads. Oh well. With the way Edelman's head was turning against Sherman's arm, it definitely looked like a facemask in real time

Love how Sherman lights up the WR and the ref is only a few feet away looking at the play. No flag. lol

Should've been a 15 and Carpenter stays on the field for the kick. Then that delay of game shouldn't have happened either.
