Are you high :lol: 

Not at all. If you look at last year, both Pittsburgh games were one special teams play away from Browns wins. Couple that with the North being down this season and there's three, maybe four divisional wins.(I AM NOT SAYING WE SWEEP THE STEELERS) We can take the Jets at home and maybe the Bucs on the road. There's five or six wins. We get the Chargers or Broncos too? There's the parade.

Philadelphia Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins resumed his protest against social inequality by raising his fist during the national anthem prior to Thursday's preseason opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Jenkins was joined on the sideline by cornerback De'Vante Bausby, who also raised a fist. Eagles defensive end Chris Long put his arm around Jenkins in a sign of support -- just like he did last season.

In addition to Jenkins, Miami Dolphins wide receivers Kenny Stills and Albert Wilson took a knee during the anthem. Miami defensive end Robert Quinn raised a fist into the air. San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin also raised a fist into the air before his team's game against the Dallas Cowboys.

The NFL released the following statement regarding Thursday's protests, reiterating that implementation of the league's national anthem policy remains on hold amid ongoing discussions with the NFL Players Association:

"The NFL has been engaged in constructive discussions with the NFL Players Association regarding the anthem and issues of equality and social justice that are of concern to many Americans. While those discussions continue, the NFL has agreed to delay implementing or enforcing any club work rules that could result in players being disciplined for their conduct during the performance of the anthem.

"Meanwhile, there has been no change in the NFL's policy regarding the national anthem. The anthem will continue to be played before every game, and all player and non-player personnel on the field at that time are expected to stand during the presentation of the flag and performance of the anthem. Personnel who do not wish to do so can choose to remain in the locker room.

"We remain committed to working with the players to identify solutions and to continue making progress on important social issues affecting our communities."

Jenkins is among the players who've embraced leading roles in combating social inequality since Colin Kaepernick's decision to take a knee during a 2016 preseason game. In an interview with NFL Network's Michael Silver earlier this week, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers urged players to ignore President Donald Trump's comments on the issue and explained the motivations behind the protests.

"I don't know how many times we can say, as a player and as a group, how much we love and support and appreciate the troops, and the opportunities this country allows us. But this is about equality and something bigger than ourselves, and bringing people together, and love and connectedness and equality and social justice, and putting a light on people who deserve to have the attention for their causes and their difficult situations that they're in. You know, people have their opinion -- you shouldn't do it during the anthem, you shouldn't do it during this -- that's fine. But let's not take away from what the real issue is."

I like Kellen Moore because he was a lefty QB and their should be more of them! It's sad seeing nobody throw lefty like I do :(

Albeit that left arm was basically a wet noodle at NFL level. Tua Tagovailoa is the next big hope!

Steve Young is my lefty QB idol! I think Young, Stabler and Esiason were the only lefty MVPs anyway with the former two the only HOF members.

I obviously don't look up to Vick or like him but I will say he was the most exciting QB to watch ever. Apart from Manning to Manningham, the first throw against the Redskins below is my favourite throw ever. He barely wound up and the ball just shoots out of his arm and travels 54 yards through the air. 😲

A lot of Giants fans freaking out already over the performance of the starters in the whopping two series they played in week one of the preseason.  I'll never understand trying to extract anything meaningful from that.  I only care that they get through their stint healthy.

If I'm assessing anyone that early, it's the backups.  To that end, my god Davis Webb looked atrocious.  I'll give him a pass because due to the whole bungling of the Eli situation last year, this is his first game action since last preseason.  I don't think they'll give a I-AA QB in Kyle Lauletta the backup job as a rookie, but since Webb has no ties to the current administration if he plays like that all camp I could see him being cut in favor of a veteran QB that gets released by another team.
