Costas not being a douche for once.

Nice concise, firm stance taken by Costas on deflategate there.

 

[AtomicDawg]

Maybe if you are prude.

Oh I'm certainly not. I'm just trying to think of who gets fired from NBC after this aired live, lol

 

[obgod3]

Just imagine you go to work today, first one there but by 10am the office is filled with orange, go to lunch - orange, folks asking if your excited for the game tonight....just kill me

I want to buy some t-shirts for each of the Broncos opponents and every time they lose I'll wear that shirt to work the next day.

 

[WhoaDirty]

Holy, Bob Costas going to bat for the Pats.

Reddit, guy who apparently works at Nike wrote up for every team little bits. This is what he wrote for us

Primary color: Red

Style: Retro

Logo: Retro


Color Rush uniforms will be revealed next Tuesday. Special teaser this Thursday night.

While that sounds cool, it will still be those awful same colors for both top/bottom.

Appreciate the narrative from Costas but it's too bad he said "misdemeanour" as if something wrong definitely happened.

What did he say?

 

[Delicate Genius]

What did he say?

"Roger Goodell is a corrupt piece of **** and he can French kiss my balloon knot."

Honestly I still love it. I'm a sucker for ******** like this. Changing up the unis is fun. Dunno why the nfl has such strict rules.

 

[BobDigital]

The NFL told him to do that I am sure. I wonder why. Maybe the NFL realizes making Brady look like a villain when he is the face of the league is not the best idea.

Still kind of late for that and trying to heal bad blood with Brady will never happen at this point. Brady taking off that NFL sticker is not good for the NFL and if they suspend him more they will lose one of their top players and hurt their product which they don't want obviously.

 

[FourierSeries]

History has shown that Wade Phillips' defense gets progressively worse every year in every city he is in. If tonight is any indication, that pattern will continue in Denver.

Their defense was already exposed last year against Pittsburgh and Indy, and at times NE. The problem was that in the playoffs no team had any players left to do anything about it. Literally all of their opponents were decimated by injury.

This year, teams will use that blueprint to handle that defense.

 

[Jackson 2]

Nice concise, firm stance taken by Costas on deflategate there.

Man, it is sort of amazing how with quite a few in the national media the story line has evolved into one which sort of paints Brady as a sympathetic figure, as Costas just did there. With that said, I don't think many fans'opinions outside the 5.5 NE states are being changed.

It took a year, but it appears that the kubiak/Phillips combo has successfully turned the Broncos into the Texans

 

[AtomicDawg]

Color rush jerseys coming Tuesday...Pat Patriot may be making a comeback allegedly. Guess it would be on the silver helmet.

This is from Reddit, our week 3 look. I like it, especially if Pat P is on the helmet.

Actually, Phillips' defenses alternate good year/bad year

Just change the numbers to white and keep the QB.

I am hoping you guys can pull off that Denver game for sure

With the QB confusion we might pull that game off. But SP when he came to the saints used the patriots as a blue print for success. That said hes a big believer that the OL is the most important thing on offence. Took him 1-2 years to create it from 2006, and now hes trying to do the same I think. The peices are there, maybe. Maybe by week 10 they will jell and work right. I think it really depends on that and NO only needs a 15th ranked defence sinse 2006 to be in the playoffs and have a shot, but they are always really bad. If we can just get a 15th ranked consistant D and the OL to work out we have a good game to bring to Denver. Brees can still throw well and smart but no Brady, but he's a very good QB still.
