Boston fandom is somewhere between cult and gang membership.

I see the Lions traded their best receiver for a draft pick.

Does Golden Tate have baggage or something I'm not aware of? And if so, why did the Eagles want him?

Draft picks are valuable because they give you controlled cap space.

They did the trade, in an attempt to outstupid the Packers.

He’s 30, on the last year of his deal, and Golladay is balling out. If they’re not planning on offering him a 3yr/25M deal or such, then moving on at the trade deadline is just good business.

Can't wait for the misery bowl tonight.

Looking good, Raiders!

Man, that may have been the worst Raiders game I've ever seen, and that's saying something. Tanking, mutiny, poor coaching? I'm speechless.

Tate is on the last year of his deal. If he leaves the Lions, they would get a compensatory draft pick in 2020. By trading him now, the Lions now have a 2019 draft pick.
Tate comes to the Eagles who have a few slot receivers but what he does it stretch the field to let the TE's work the middle. Good trade for all.

What was the mutiny in the Raiders game?

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

There was a time...

 

[smorgdonkey]

The Chrgers SUCK.

Brutal suckage.

 

[smorgdonkey]

...and they win in spite of their suckage.

Seattle sucks too. Come on. Suckage.

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

Tough day for the Redskins. Brutal injuries.

 

[smorgdonkey]

And the Patriots just executed one of the most impressive opening drives that I have ever seen.

 

[tiger roach]

Texans win their 6 th straight.

 

[Guitar Heel]

The Saints are unreasonably good.

 

[sunvalleylaw]

Well, bad day for the Seahawks. But I have no expectations for this year.

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

Basically the entire Redskins OLine is currently in the hospital. Such is life.

I look forward to a new coaching staff in 2019.
