Fanto once again the boys did it and came through.

Ordered a Megatron on TFSource yesterday.

Have you used them before? They said they should ship soon but are pretty vague. I need someone to order the Soundwave you got for me around and I have decided that Megatron is the man for the job.

That said my home office is getting a little too filled with figures. Might have to start boxing up some of this shit and putting it in the attic...

I thought last night's game was fantastic. Both teams struck me as young teams on the way up, even if they might both have pretty poor records this year.

It was cool seeing Hyde and Gurley both play well. It felt like a changing of the guard, I hope it continues.

I'm pretty bored watching the same old guys playing over and over again every Sunday to be honest.
 
I didn't watch the full game, but I couldn't fight the thought that the 49ers have talent. Given the right coach their time in the dregs won't be long.

Goff looks like he's gonna be a star. Frankly i'm shocked. Thought he was a guaranteed bust.

Yeah the QBs from the past 3 drafts are actually doing pretty well. A problem the game has had recently is almost all of the QBs from 2010-2013 have sucked or are currently injured, but the newer crop of QBs are looking decent at least

Can't link it right now, but there is a pretty good article on Bleacher Report about Goff's progression with the Rams.

Have you liked Watson?

Wasnt big on him in the draft but that is moot. OB is a great head coach but is terrible calling plays. After watching other games this past weekend it finally hit me exactly how bad the Texans offense is. They move so painstakingly slow its laughable. I have no faith O'Brien can install an offense that will take advantage of Watsons strength

Sean Payton is going to end up in the AFC South after this year on either the Colts or the Texans. God do I hope it's the Texans.

In fantasy land Payton as the HC is great with the caveat that the defense stays in place. If OB is fired Vrabel is gone along with him but you have secondary coach John Butler who can run the defense.

Paytons downfall is the he cant hire a DC worth a damn

Also Rick Smith just has to go away. You can not have a GM who outlasts two head coaches being fired. At some point you have to hit the reset button

Playing educated guessing game: New WR at practice could be Riley McCarron. Was cut from Texans practice squad this week. Will find out soon
11:17 AM - 22 Sep 2017

I lol'ed.

Small, white, scrappy slot receiver who just happened to be cut from the team you are playing this week. Like a perfect storm of Patriotness

Good god. Brian Hoyer has already been sacked 10 times.

How Do You Beat the Patriots? The Texans Have an Idea of How To Solve That Problem

Great read (tad long) on the Texans front 7 and how they managed to get to Brady during the playoffs last year. Basically running a "Diamond Package" by putting your best pass rusher over the center and confusing the hell out of the QB while dropping 8 into coverage. Amazing its a concept run by Buddy Ryan in the 80's while DC of the Bears and still works this day

Patriots are fairly strong at tackle. Very strong at right guard. Left guard and center are positions of relative weakness. It's where teams SHOULD attack.

Many teams try to flood the middle and get a rush with minimal people. Nothing new. Obviously most teams don't have the pass rushers to get it done. Teams like Denver can do it and still play man on the outside. Pats will have to attack the linebackers with RB in pass coverage.

Yeah only two teams that have that luxury are the Texans and Broncos. Any that I am missing?

Giants?
