Pat's look at all sea on both sides of the ball this season, maybe this is the season all the tinkering and playing guys out of position and everything will finally fall apart.
Broncos 14-7 up at Baltimore half way through the first quarter- running game strong, Neither team defending well. Entertaining so far!
Shaky start from the Ravens on that blocked punt but once they gained control they were never giving up that lead. Ravens coped well without Mosley and forced the Broncos into seven punts. Just the Steelers up next...
That's the 49ers done for the year. I was quite hopeful for this season, despite a tough start with games against Minnesota and Kansas City. Back to rebuild mode while Jimmy G recovers.
NB please bear in mind that this is still only Week 3 so I could be eating the words below!
The Pats deserve to be under the microscope so far, and Belichick in particular. Their WR situation is rubbish and they've made something like 25 roster transactions involved a WR since the start of the open market in this off season? There's no speed at linebacker (complete contrast to the excellent Jags situation, but tbf look at how much we spend on our defensive line and that's with Ngakoue on a rookie deal); Cooks/Lewis/Amendola were all replaced on the very very cheap; they're almost praying on a Josh Gordon resurgence! I mean, Sony Michel had more touches than the rest of the offence combined last night.
Belichick will still probably avoid criticism in the main, though, with people opting to ask "is Brady finished?" instead (ooh, those sweet sweet headlines).

The Pats remind me a bit of Man Utd just before Alex Ferguson left. Everything fell apart at once, the old guard of players all finishing their careers and nothing in place to rebuild properly. Trading Jimmy G for the sake of Tom Brady's ego looks even dumber now.

Not a fan of the Pats but they traded Jimmy G as he was in a contract year and he would've left for nothing, so they got a draft pick for him and you're just not going to trade Brady.

I heard Brady went over Belichick's head, direct to Kraft to get Jimmy G traded. True, Garoppolo wanted out because Belichick couldn't guarantee him a chance to start, but that's down to Kraft and Brady too. Football is a hard business, nobody is indispensable in the end. It doesn't make sense to stuff the franchise's future plans because the owner backs a player instead of his head coach, and the player is convinced he deserves to start until his mid-forties.

True but Brady had just led one of the greatest sporting comebacks of all time to beat the Falcons in the Superbowl. They were never, ever going to trade him and you can't pay two QBs that kind of money.

It's always difficult, deciding when a hero's time is over. I was gutted when the 49ers traded Joe Montana to Kansas City, but it was something that had to be done. The 49ers went on to win the Superbowl with Steve Young. I think the Pats have made the wrong move and won't be going to the Superbowl for a good while yet.

I did hear a rumour at the time than it was Brady the 49ers actually wanted to trade for.

He's from the Bay Area, so I wouldn't have been surprised in the slightest.

Boyd went to me, the cash offers make waivers a little harder to gauge don't they?. It also makes up slightly for leaving Goff and Jordy Nelson on my bench last week!

They need to take a leaf out of the Ravens book - they've scored on 12 trips in a row to the redzone now. Flacco at elite level ;-)
go for him.
You have 4 first round picks in next two years and some cap space.
