2017 NFL Season Thread

Brock Osweiler starts for Broncos this weekend apparently. What a bizarre career sequence that guy has had over the past year.

Also, Kaepernick's lawyer says he expects a team will sign him "within 10 days" to make the blackballing accusations go away. Cards need a QB...

Sure. This offense can't get much more atrocious, so sure, let's start Giant Brock. What the hell could it hurt?

And don't forget you have Paxton in reserve!

Paxton is terrible. I said that before the draft. I said it when we drafted him. And I've said it ever since. I should go back and find my exact quote, but you could watch him play Temple his last year in college and see that he didn't know his dick from his elbow. He struggled reading a simple college defense. I can't even imagine how much he'd crap his pants if he was in there playing against the best players in the world.

Neither does Roman Reigns.

It won't last.

He's lighting up a celebratory doob right now, actually.

A reminder that football has been cancelled this season.

UK fans - go vote for the games Sky should carry in Week 10

I'd hope you all get Saints-Bills for the 6pm, a matchup between maybe the league's two biggest surprises. And then Cowboys-Falcons or Texans-Rams. That's good to know we have quality late games that week, since it's a Ravens bye. 

[Lineker]

I voted Saints/Bills and Texans/Rams. Then the late game is Broncos/Pats - could be a very good week there.

[The Buscher]

Brian Hoyer back to the Patriots.  Not only that, he signed a three year deal with them to be Brady's long-term backup.

It's also come out that the Packers had attempted to sign Hoyer.  The same Packers that publicly said they weren't considering bringing in a QB from outside the organization when people called for them to get Kaepernick.

[jrhodes]

It's a big if but IF Josh Gordon can get his head on right then the Browns would have a very nice 1-2 punch at wide receiver with him opposite Corey Coleman.

They'd just need to find someone who can play quarterback.

If there's a team that should sign Kaepernick it's the Browns.

[Pooker]

Kaepernick's agent has said that he expects a team to sign Kaepernick within the next 10 days. But, barring any injuries to QB's this week, I can't see anybody just randomly signing a QB in the middle of the season.

[GhostMachine]

I can't see any team signing Kaepernick due to that joke of a grievance he filed. His career should be toast.

That's the entire reason he'll get signed.

[Lineker]

(Presumably, he will then enter grad school, and eventually earn his doctorate trying to wait out the Browns)

[Meacon Keaton]

I remember when Matt Leinart decided to stay for his final year of college. I remember it because he literally had one class left, and it ended up being an elective. Every fucking USC game the commentators would go on and on about how Matt Leinart is only taking one class, and it's a dance class! How crazy and zany is that?!?!

I fucking hate Matt Leinart.

Andrew Luck is finally going on IR.
