Patriots/NFL NFL/Patriots: See Warning Post 726

[N o o d l e s]

Idk how much stock to take in a preseason game. I think they're definitely a better team than the Rams.

Maybe fans will switch over to the chargers? Who knows...

 

[Seidenbergy]

the Rams didn't have very good attendance last year either. the NFL needs to stop moving trash teams to LA and expecting them to grow fan bases immediately.

Ummmmm, what?!?

They had the 2nd highest attendance in the entire league last year.

Will Denver ever play at Gillette again?

If schedule rotation stays the same, Pats will play the AFC West same place finisher at home the next 2 years. Otherwise Broncos will be here next in 2020.

Maybe I just had higher expectations for them? I know the stadium they're currently in is enormous, but they couldn't even get close to filling it despite being in an huge market with no competition in 2016

LOL. They had 90,000 people show up to a freaking preseason game. They have 70,000 season ticket holders. All for a 4-12 team that was literally drawing 55,000 per game in St Louis.

And while the stadium IS huge, nobody wants to sit in several of the sections of that stadium due to the poor design. You're too far away to enjoy the experience. They finally smartened up and they are reducing the capacity this season to somewhere closer to 70K.

Kinda ridiculous, when was the last time they made the trip? 2012???

They played at Gillette twice in 2012, once in 2013 and once in 2014.

It all balances out.

2015 in Denver.

Broncos haven't won in Gillette since 2006.

 

[KrejciMVP]

Always found Jake Plummer very annoying to play against in 06

Yeah I knew it was in Denver Bolden had that long ass TD but ai thought that was 2014 but im wrong. Feels like Pats have been going to Denver for years, probs feels worse cos of the AFC game too

Easily one of the coolest guys I've ever met.

He did it right. Retire early with millions in the bank, move to the middle of Idaho with his ex-Broncos cheerleader wife and play in handball tournaments with his brother.

Bills' LeSean McCoy says Colin Kaepernick's play not worth 'distraction' he comes with

http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/...kaepernick-not-good-enough-player-distraction

I saw Sage Steel on Dan Patrick and she said teams have the right to choose their own players. Colin K is becoming quite the martyr. What if he turned down a bad offer and is leveraging this into a lucrative, long term non-football career?

 

[Johnnyduke]

Hmmm LeSean McCoy said that? Well that certainly doesn't fit a certain narrative...

 

[KrejciMVP]

Oh no Edelman....knee non contact

 

[TheBigBadB]

What the heck is wrong with ghost. I just don't trust him anymore

 

[EverettMike]

Apparently the show forgot they left him at Winterfell.

....wait, am I in the wrong thread?

If this volume of penalty flags is to be the norm, the product will border on unwatchable.

It's already unwatchable 80% of the time
