That's pretty freakin cool to see them on the same track like that. I'm not surprised at RGIII pulling away, he could have qualified for the olympics if he wanted to, but I am surprised that Luck could hang with Newton as well as he did.

that's what I was thinking

guess luck is a little bit faster than a manning.

probably.

Pats looked awesome last night.

[Echo419]

they won't win 10+ games this year

That was a good old fashion punch in the mouth delivered by the Lions defense. I am not to overly worried about my Pats, but being able to hold on to the ball is concerning. I still think they win 12 games this year.

I don't see how that's possible. they've lost Welker, Hernandez, Woodhead, Brandon Lloyd, Deion Branch, Kellen Winslow, Gronk is perpetually injured and how many offensive linemen? Brady is great but he's getting old and isn't very mobile with that old knee injury he's at a higher risk to reinjury it. but the refs have shown to be overprotective of him so that helps. then there's the defense which is suspect at best. they were ranked 25th last year.

I guess, when you look back at the end of this season, if they do win 12 games, you will be impressed. Many things have changed on that team over the past 12-13 years, receivers come and go, the defense is always changing. But 3 things have been consistent, Brady, Belichick, and their yearly win percentage.

that's a lot of production to replace. have they ever had to replace so much at once?

All those team that have had the score run up on them in the past by Belicheat, Brady and the Pats are all chomping at the bit for a little payback.
Oh, and then there's this...

Aaron Hernandez’s Status Listed As “Day-To-Day” By Prison Gang
"He's in very real danger of getting cut" says inmate holding shiv

By PFM Staff Updated: August 23, 2013
BOSTON – Former Patriots TE Aaron Hernandez, indicted Thursday by a grand jury on first degree murder charges, had his status downgraded to “day-to-day” by Los Malos Diablos, the reigning prison gang at the Bristol County House of Corrections where Hernandez is currently awaiting trial.
“Yes, I can confirm that Aaron is around purely on a day-to-day basis at this point,” said Diablos member Axel Delgado, while fingering a crude shiv made from a rusty razor blade attached to an old toothbrush. “It’s very possible that he’s going to get cut sometime before September.”

“As a rookie here in our system, Aaron has struggled with his protection. In the sense that he hasn’t been paying it to us like we told him to,” added fellow Diablo Sergio Vasquez. “So we’re planning on moving him to a new position.”

When asked to clarify the position to which Hernandez would be moving, Vasquez pointed to a shadowy area of the prison yard and said, “over there, beneath that pile of concrete beams and cinder blocks.”

According to prison sources, Hernandez will remain on the day-to-day list for the time being, but the two Diablos agreed that status could change in the very near future.

“Well, I would label him as ‘highly doubtful’ to be available on Sunday,” said Delgado. “Not for any particular game or anything. Just, you know, in general.”

“There’s always the possibility that he might get ‘gang tackled’ at some point, and he could be facing the possibility of ‘sudden death,’” added Vazquez. “At that point, we would declare him officially ‘out.’”

The convict paused, then added, “we’re planning on murdering him, is what we’re trying to say.”

Lucky i dont run the show. I'd have had them all killed already.

On topic. I think Seattle wins it all just cuz. Pitt goes 8-8 again, Ravens/Niners out first round in playoffs. Manning makes a big mistake in the championship game and loses. Hmm...RG3 doesnt doesnt finish the season...Luck will be the best QB in the league. NE out in 1st/2nd round of playoffs.

If Pittsburgh doesn't whip that o-line into shape in a hurry, they're looking at 4-12. It is rreeaallyy bad.
