Please take him out of our division. He made several terrifyingly good catches last year with Davon House ALL the fuck over him and I don't know if I can deal with that twice every year

Of all the things Hopkins is good at there may be no one in the NFL right now who is better at getting last minute separation from press coverage. You can be on him like glue the entire route and he will still fuck you up when the ball gets there.

There are WRs like Dez and ARob who may be a little better at the physical jump ball, but Hopkins doesn't even need that because it's literally like, covered covered covered covered and then in the last split second he's somehow open by an arm's length and caught it. I don't know how he does it, it's so subtle, he just knows how to fool a defender that's trying to read his eyes and hip movements I guess

 

My biggest fear is that if Osweiler doesn't pan out, Hopkins will want to get the fuck out of here. :/ We're obviously gonna offer him a ridiculous check when the time comes, I just hope that this upcoming season gives him a reason to accept it.

 

Don't worry you got the AFC south. I'll just be happy to make that wild card over Indianapolis

 

I would be so happy if you did

Then my friend will stop texting me about how the Colts are obviously better than everyone and have a top 3 CB tandem and are destined to go 13-3 every goddamn season

 

Bills are losing Marquise Goodwin for a chunk of training camp due to him participating in the Rio Olympics.

 

It's time for the Colts to come back to Earth. I'd honestly love nothing more than another year of Luck struggling... as much as I doubt that actually happening. But I think we might have a good enough defense now to get in his head and not let him dictate the game.

 

Dream scenario:
-Luck doesn't get hurt at all, plays a full healthy season, but is struggling throughout. Pagano keeps job. 3-13
-Titans stay as they've been, Mularkey proven to not be the answer and Mariota/Murray can't get anything done against inter-divisional defenses. End up at 5-11 or so.
-Jags free agency and draft pans out and they begin to wreck the Colts and Titans and finally the AFC South isn't looked at as a bottom feeder division. 9-7 to 10-6
-Osweiler is somehow a god in O'Brien's offense, Miller does everything he was never given the chance to do in Miami, we have the same 5-1 division record we had last year and go 13-3.

Realistic dream scenario:
-WE FINALLY GET A GODDAMN STARTING LEVEL TIGHT END

 

I think the big thing with Hopkins is his awareness of where he is on the field (specifically near the boundaries) and his ability to quickly process how he needs to make the catch

case in point that filthy helmet catch last season

 

The Colts bet hard that their only problem is their offensive line. If this proves to be untrue they could be in for a rough season.

 

They better ground and pound to keep that miserable defense from hitting the field then lol

 

Still laugh a little every time I'm reminded the Titans hired Mularkey

 

Nelson Agholor is being accused of raping an exotic dance yesterday in Philadelphia.

Great.

 

Schefter has now picked it up

 

Well that's sure great.

 

If true, what a garbage person.

Honestly, I'm rooting against the Eagles as much as I am supporting the Browns this season.

 

The Von Miller stuff appears to be getting nasty.

As posted in here previously, he turned down that massive offer from Denver. Then Denver pulled the offer from the table. There's actually talk Miller may miss the entire season.

And then there's this.....

Elway gone hahah

 

What an idiot haha

 

Bittersweet.

Report: Mike Carey out as CBS rules analyst

 

goodnight sweet prince

 

Ouch. Would probably rather have Keenan on this deal than Hurns on his. Oh well.

 

Carey should come back and ref. I miss his swift and dramatic hand/arm signals.

 

He always seemed 20 years younger than all the other refs cause he even still doesn't look his age (he's like 60-something!) and his movements were so crisp
