    Buffalo swaps some WRs. Picks up Philly WR Jordan Matthews and trades away WR Sammy Watkins to LA Rams. These pre-season trades rarely work out for the involved teams (unless its New England).

    http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/20313763/winners-losers-buffalo-bills-los-angeles-rams-philadelphia-eagles-mega-trades-sammy-watkins-jordan-matthews-ronald-darby

    The most important thing for buffalo is the picks I think. They're loaded up for a massive rebuild next year. 6 picks in the first 3 rounds I think. Race on the bottom of AFC East between them and the Jets now.

    @Cyclops Might as well. Tom Brady has at least another two years in him.

      I wonder how long Belichick has left? Jimmy G might be good enough to carry the Pats to the playoffs post-Brady, but only if Belichick is there.

        @mimic I think he will continue until he decides he's too old, so maybe another decade. He's proven that his system guarantees regular season success regardless of the QB and the owner will let him retire on his own terms.

            I was about to put my hand up for this. At least someone else can win it now 😄

                      Some interesting cuts by teams before the start of the season:

                      Victor Cruz cut by Chicago, Brock Osweiler cut by Browns, TJ Ward cut by Broncos to name a few. 49ers cut Matt Barkley and choose to go with CJ Beathard as backup QB (he's been good in preseason).

                        Fantasy draft done (I actually did alright) and some big news that will make M4L cream his knickers:

                        Broncos, Brock Osweiler agree to terms on one-year deal.

                          Slightly surprised that the Pats cut Austin Carr and Brandon Bolden.
                          But then I saw the Pats make a trade with the Colts. Pick up WR Dorsett for QB Jacoby. I guess they saw more value in Dorsett than Carr, who I thought looked good in preseason.
                          I guess Bolden is just a casualty given the plethora of RBs that the Pats now have.

                            @Sneakdefreak Definitely a youth movement in San Francisco - they cut WR Kerley who was their most productive receiver last year and they signed to a 3 year deal in the offseason. They went with 3 rookie wide receivers - two of whom were undrafted. 55% new players for the 49ers vs a year ago.

                              @KiwiMurph Kerley lost out to Victor Bolden who was pretty amazing on the kick returns.

                                @Sneakdefreak and to Trent Taylor who is pretty much a carbon copy of Kerley.

                                  So the first half is up in the season opener. Pats leading the Chiefs, 17 - 14.

                                  I'm liking the look of Gillislie in this Pats offense. Also on the other side, rookie RB, Kareem Hunt, has looked good outside of the fumble in his first carry. Got both of them in most of my fantasy teams 🙂

                                    Turning into some game. KC up 28 - 27 early in the 4th.

                                    Alex Smith is having a career night. 23/28, 312 yards, 4 TDs.

                                      KC in again with a TD to Hunt. He's had a helluva debut.

                                      KC lead 35 - 27 with 5 to go.

                                          Floodgates now. KC in with another rushing TD. They're now up, 42 - 27.
