Now Dallas and Atlanta are both without their lead RB. Elliott suspended and now Freeman out with a concussion.
Giants might still win, but they are clearly a really bad team, and their defense is way worse than people thought it would be (combined with them apparently not giving a crap about little things like tackling). Of course, McAdoo is a dead coach walking, so that does affect things.
Jets could take a lesson from the G-men on how to tank. Does anybody not believe that the Giants are not going to wind up with franchise QB from this train wreck that will haunt us for a decade?
I was just gonna post the same comment..it's written in stone the Giants will draft their next 10-15 year FQB with the 2nd or third pick in this draft.
I knew they weren't any good, but I didn't expect the Giants to come out and actually play worse than the Jets did.
New England specials teams playing as well as they can. Denver special teams playing as poorly as they can. Muffed punt, kick return TD, blocked punt and it's not even halftime
Patriots look great. They have a solid gameplan, and they'e executing it. After watching the Jets game today, and then watching the Pats tonight, it makes me feel like we are so far away from that standard of excellence. My patience is running thin with this current Jets regime.
Trying to remember when I saw a special team play so badly for an entire games as the Broncos special teams today.
You guys hear about what Martellus Bennett did? He faked an injury with GB and told them he needed season-ending surgery, so they'd release him.
So... he faked an injury, that GB deemed so catastrophic that they want all their money back. On top of that, a professional organization is so bad at their job that the injury is actually from last season, and they just didn't notice it. Is that the injury he faked? Obviously both sides are talking out of their ass here. Bennett is hurt, but he can play through it and can have surgery/treatment in the offseason. He just didn't want to do it with Hundley. GB is full of it. Rotator cuff injury limits a player enough that there's no way he'd get past a physical with that thing. Second he went through minicamps, training camp etc with the team and they never raised an issue about it. Also 20+ teams had a chance to sign Bennett before the Patriots. And I don't think the Patriots team this year is very good. It's just that 90% of the teams in the league are ran by complete amateurs and they have no idea what they are doing.
How does a team cut a guy and try to recoup his signing bonus over a fake injury? Are the Packers lying?
