    True or not it's an interesting tale about the most successful franchise of this generation

      @canefan brilliant read. There was something very strange about the Jimmy G trade. SOMETHING has gone down.

        It's like Beli has decided 'fark it I'm out of here' and sold his prized QB successor under duress for what amounts to a pittance

          I'm just glad he chose the 9ers as the recipient of his charity!

            I don't think they had any other choice..
            You cant trade to anyone in the AFC.. So you transfer him to a team in the NFC where you will only meet them once every 4 years, or in the Superbowl
            Most NFC teams have their QB.. And with the 9ers with a poor start, Pats were looking at a high 2nd round pick.. But Jimmy GQ put a stop to that

              It's probably the first trade in the Brady era where the Pats, in the long term, will regret they ever made it.... but the Pats are aiming for this season and next, we all know that. Then Brady will retire and I assume so will Beli. And then the Pats will suck for a long time. And then the rest of the AFC East will be finally free.

                I wonder if, in the event the Pats win the SB again, Bill decides to walk away knowing that Kraft chose the Golden Boy over his process?

                    Mariota passes to himself for the TD!

                      What a game. The Titans looked buried after the 1st half and now they've taken the lead in the 4th.

                      Mariota has taken over this 2nd half. The KC defense has basically been on the field all half.

                        Pats won't have to worry because somehow KC has lost to the Titans 22-21....

                        I'm a supporter of Alex Smith but he choked in this game which forced the KC defence to stay in for most of the second half. Expect him to be traded to either Denver, Jacksonville, Buffalo or possibly Minnesota.

                        Think Andy Reid could be gone too.

                          Alex Smith QB Andy Reid coach is not a combo you want if you want to win playoff games.

                          Poor Chiefs fans - the Chiefs 6th straight home playoff loss dating back to 1995.

                          AFC is rather weak - neither team looked a geniune title threat - cool win for Mariota and the Titans though - might have saved Titans coach Murlarkey is job.

                            Falcons lead Rams 13-10 at the half. Raiders confirm that Jon Gruden is their new(ish) head coach.

                              The more experienced Falcons beat the LA Rams 26-13 to advance to face the QB-less Philadelphia Eagles. The road to the Superbowl is looking a little easier for the Falcons.

                                Here's hoping that Matty Ice finds redemption in the SB game by beating the evil empire Patriots 😉

                                  If the Bills and Jaguars are playing each other, just don't air the game. It does more harm to the NFL than good.

                                  3 all at the half.

                                    I started watching.

                                    Then figured I had better things to do with my life than watch Tyrod playing Blake.

                                    Second game today should be a lot better, and a good warmup to the real game tomorrow at 2pmNZT

                                      Fittingly, Nathan Peterman throws an interception to end the game.

                                      That's his 6th interception of the season (he's only attempted 52 passes).

                                          @mimic Vikings v Saints in another dome game will be good fun.

                                          Saints almost blew it at the end there.
