Title: NFL Midpoint
Post by: Snaggletiger on October 30, 2016, 10:25:10 PM: A few news and notes, observations at the half way point of the season.

Tom Brady came back and the Pats are clicking on all cylinders. 7-1. About 8 go-to receivers. Gonna' be tough to beat. The rest of their division is .500 or worse.

Battle of two rookies tonight in Wentz and Prescott. Both have had their moments but Dak looked like a rookie for the first time this year on the last couple of drives. Otherwise, he's been awesome for the 5-1 Cowboys.

After two last minute losses, the Falcons close one out against Mr. Discount Double Check. Unreal last minute drive by Matt Ryan to go ahead with 30 seconds to play. 5-3.

Panthers get back on track. 2-5 now but a long way to go. A nice win over Carson Palmer and the Cards.

Look at this division. The AFC West is loaded. The Raidah's 6-2. The Broncos 6-2. The Chiefs 5-2. And the Chargers, who can't figure out how to close a freaking game out are 3-5. BTW, Derrick Carr of Oakland threw for over 500 yards today.

Tony Dungy said on NBC that Cam should have let his coach and the owner do the complaining, but it's beyond that. He's one of the most popular players in the NFL and has missed games due to shots to the head. Something has to change.

It's an ongoing investigation.

How about that Dak!
He's setting the Cowboys up to be in the Super Bowl against Tahmay Brady.

What could be better than this?

Mistreatment? This is more like the Zimmerman defense!

Correct.

It's his head getting bashed. It's his life. I don't see his lame ass coaches doing much. They care about wins. Or not. At least not Shula.

Riviera missed the most egregious abuse in the opener v. Denver.
