Bizarre final minutes. Personally I don't blame the refs, the offense looks pretty off....

Bears really impressed me last night, 'for a while' than as usual Rodgers carves them up and of course 'my man Mitch' can't add to a 20 point lead.
It's only been one week (so I try to avoid the hot takes) but your predictions of Pats/Vikings SB and Rodgers being MVP hold serve well right now.
Damn, I saw a replay and it did look like Rodgers was really hurt. Man what the heck lol. Amazing stuff.

The Bears are worse than the Browns. Aaron Rodgers had steroids shot into his knee. Dispute those 2 statements with me if you wish.
I got no idea, we went to sleep early at my house and caught up on highlights in the morning. And this is what I get for going to to sleep early, I miss Rodgers having "the game".
But WOWZA, he sure did have a game.
Maybe it was a Paul Pierce situation? Did he actually look hurt?

Browns are getting closer to getting that big fat complete win soon. It's coming.

That awkward moment when a rumor on the internet once, actually proves to be true....
I remember this one as well and was torn on it at the time.

My expectations are low this year so any wins are just gravy to me. Want to see Luck get through the season in one piece and keep improving all around mostly.

Luck looked good in this game, much MUCH better then the week before and well, progress is everything!
He did better then Jimmy G!

I watched some and my biggest concern is still the team around Luck. I am willing to give Luck time since he's been out for quite a while.

I have the Celtics winning the East in Basketball as a real early pick but that is another topic which we will discuss in the future on the Basketball Thread. My Pacers, Sixers, Raptors will challenge.
-Regrading Nick Foles, I don't see him playing that much this season with Wentz getting healthy. He caught lightning in a bottle like Flacco did in 2012. To his credit he deserves alot of credit for that SB win but I would put my money on that he will never play like that again in any Playoff setting. When it comes to the Patriots in the SB game, every single one could've went either way. They could be 8-0 or 0-8 so I think Brady will take 5-3. 2007 still has to sting though, 19-0 never happens and they had their chance.
Eagles IMO will need Wentz this season to make another run. Like you I don't trust Foles to do it again. And since the NFC East is kinda topsy turvy it's not even a slam dunk given it's going to go to them again the way history is.
The NBA can be pretty predictable, but the NFL outside of Brady and in the old days Peyton, can switch like underwear. And if Rodgers is healthy for most of the year there is almost zero doubt GB makes the playoffs too but making a playoff run for them is often difficult it seems.

Not sure how bad Foles shoulder is yet but the Pats are Very Good if not Great every year. With their Starters playing, last night doesn't surprise me. I was very surprised they lost to Philly in the SB.
Philly got hot at the right time in the playoffs, happens a lot in the NFL. And Pats have fallen victim to this before like with the Giants in 2007. Not shocked they lost the 2011 SB, didn't think the Pats were all that great that season. But this past year and 2007 I think they should have won it all. I had them losing to Philly since well.......just a hunch. But I NEVER imagined in my wildest dreams they would give up over 40 points to a backup QB. I figured if they lost it would resemble the 2007 SB and be a low scoring defensive slug feast.
I used to think the Celtics got Boston revenge on the Philly Sixers in the playoffs due to some of the C's backups going on that hot streak too. Not convinced they can repeat it though, they will need Kyrie and Gordon for the next playoffs IMO.

Soon it will be the announcers saying this, 45 year old Tom Brady back to pass
It was only preseason, but I wonder if Foles can keep the magical fairy dust going on this year.
Also, the Pats made legit stops. Wonder what the heck their defensive game plan was in the SB or if it was Matt Patricia's fault?
-
I saw the first half, pretty hard hitting game at times IMO for just a preseason game. I sensed some Super Bowl edge though going on in the air. Not shocked injuries happened. Pats lose that promising Wynn and Foles honestly looked like hot smelly garbage.
"30 year old Tom Brady" played the entire first half, not sure that dude is ever going to look 41 but I have hope!!!!

Based on last season/postseason, the Jaguars. Which just feels unnatural to say out loud lol.

Aye you're back. Congratulations on everything! lol
But no, not weird. Falcons came the closest to beating the Champs last year..Just a few bad breaks last season. I have a gut feeling they will come back stronger this season.
Thanks!
SB is in Atlanta, so maybe thats why I am thinking Atlanta? But seriously, I have zero feelings on anyone in the league but when I think "NFL" I keep thinking Falcons.
It's odd.
Falcons should have beat the Pats a few years ago. It seems every postseason Matt Ryan gets the worst luck. Will he ever get "the year"? Like the breaks finally go his way? Not even about MVP necessarily, but the playoffs.....
Vikings are the popular pick though and Rodgers always is. I usually pick Green Bay but sometimes I just flat out want to give up on them.
And no I am not feeling the Patriots, 41 year old QB give me a break.......

Sadly, didn't Mr. Brady already break it?
I will say. Matt Ryan. I think Falcons bounce back this year, starting week 1 with a big win against the champs.
I have a funny feeling on the Falcons too and I don't know why. I have not researched anything with football this summer or anything, but when I think about the NFL lately the team name that keeps popping up in my gut/mind is "Falcons". Weird, I know........

I love it, have not paid any attention to the draft, but o line was a must.

I was real upset last night but more over it now. Still bothers me the way we lost but as I get older I get over losses quicker than I used too. Ever since the Cubs won the WS, I just think of that when I get upset when the Colts or Pacers lose. Cubs got real lucky to beat Cleveland, it took 7 games and 10 Innings to do so. So I just take the good with the bad 99% of the time anymore. I have a feeling FWIW, Cavs will beat Toronto as well because LeBron is their daddy. I think Philly will win the East though.
No idea on Toronto yet, they got a good home court though. Hell last night the Bruins (with home ice) beat the Toronto Maple Leafs in game 7 in Boston. But the Bruins (the second seed) struggled badly in Toronto all series long. Same with the Celtics, they always struggle to win IN Toronto and I think the Pacers do too. But in Boston and Indy they have a shot to beat the Raptors or do.
Home court is really going to be what the Raptors have to hang their hats on this postseason. Kind of like the 2008 Celtics who sucked on the road but won all the home games.
If Lebron does advance and plays Toronto, they call Lebron in Toronto "LeFather."
The thing with Philly is the youth factor, this is the first real postseason for Embiid/Simmons. I think those guys are studs though lol.
Celtics were 3-1 vs. Philly this season with Kyrie Irving. With Terry Rozier starting that one loss.

Oh yeah, doesn't matter who it is against. It could've been against anyone. The way Philly is playing I doubt we would've best them anyway. I have said all along C's in 7. There is something missing with the Bucks.
If you take the Cavs to 7 do you really want to btw? I almost hope the series just ends to end the agony.
With the C's. I know they can't beat Philly, which is why sometimes if they blow this it don't bug me either.
I got no doubt if the Bucks don't get stupid they still have a shot. But with Giannis as great as he is, he has not been able to take over the series a la Lebron even though he is labeled as a young Lebron style of player at times. Stevens has done a good job rotating defensive looks at Giannis.
Problem is, the Celtics don't have a star offensive player that can take over a series right now, Jaylen Brown has been the closest.

Per ESPN: REFS admit they blew call on LeBron's GoalTend non-call on Oladipo. A little late for that now, probably cost us the series. If we are up 2 we also play Defense differently so that 3 would've probably never happened. Pacers would've guarded the perimeter and doubled LeBron. Common Sense.
Same thing in Celtics/Bucks though. In game 4, they admitted they didn't call a foul at the end on Jaylen Brown which may have tied the game and taken it to OT and given Boston a 3-1 lead. And in game 5, they ignored an obvious shot clock violation against the Celtics.
People act like this is just a Lebron thing, it isn't.
Stuff happens in every single series.
It's more magnified with Lebron since he is Lebron and the face of the league.

When you get cheated there is. Had the Cavs won fair and square I would've been fine with it.
You would have the same anger if you had played Philly.
Top 10 jersey sales for this season:
Curry
Lebron
KD
Giannis
Kyrie
Westbrook
Porzingis
Embiid
Harden
SimmonsOnly reason Boston has a shot to survive one round is due to home court and the trio of Horford/Brown/Tatum is still pretty good.
Pacers were in a rough spot playing Lebron OR Philly. The 5th seed spot is not very good.
The league is going to push their biggest selling stars, period.......not much anyone can do about it.
I don't get worked up about it all anymore. My C's were done as contenders anyway with both Hayward/Irving being out. They could survive without Hayward, but winning the east dreams were done without Kyrie.

I keep seeing people say this. When did Kyle Korver and Kevin Love become "weak"? Rodney Hood might be a max player on some teams..
It's a team learning how to be a team at my good time's expense. Boo LeBron!
Love is not himself but the Pacers are a bad matchup for the Cavs. I think the Cavs match up better vs Toronto.

Pats vs Lions

Yeah we've had this on a bit and then going to bed.
Man the Pats look BAD.
The funny thing is, my husband and I had tickets for Pats/Colts but we sold them and we agreed instead to end up splurging for opening night Celtics/Sixers now instead. I NEED to see Gordon Hayward's first real intro in Boston.....
I almost feel guilty for giving up those tickets, but I am not sure even what to expect from Pats and Colts anymore.
I think the Pats lack play makers on both sides of the ball, period.
