You know those little mats they put in urinals? At work the urinals in the men's room are apparently made by a company called "Brady". I smile inside every time I use it.

In light of the recent LeSean McCoy thing, one of my fantasy teams will be named "The Alleged Ladykillers". If there was more room, I would call it the "Buffalo Chapter", so it excludes Ray Rice and Rae Carruth. The logo will incorporate a Buffalo head with OJ Simpson and McCoy on either side. Naturally, I'm going to use the picture of OJ from the trial when he tries on the gloves.

Can’t even begin to predict how the Lions will do this season. Not only do we have too many new factors like new coach Matt Patricia and getting two time SB winner Legarett Blount at RB, many of the teams we are playing overhauled their teams this year like the Jets, Bills, Niners, etc.

1. Jets. Got a revitalized Teddy Bridgewater, bmoc rookie Sam Darnold, and veteran Josh Mckeown all vying for starting QB. Coil go either way.
2. @Niners. Apparently Jimmy G is the second coming of Joe Montana for SF fans. Everyone’s super excited about his stats from a paltry 5 games. We will see.
3. Patriots. Patricia vs his former boss. Also the benchmark by which all other teams are measured. Oye.
4. @Cowboys. Everybody is saying Dallas is the weak link in the NFC East this year, but Prescott and Elliot are no joke when they get together.
5. Packers. Aaron Rodgers is back from last season’s injury and you know he’s got something to prove this year with contracts coming up.
6. Bye week.
7. @Dolphins. Tannehill is back. This might be one of the easier games on their roster.
8. Seahawks. Seattle’s defense of yesteryear seems to be crumbling. But Russel Wilson is still one of the most dynamic QBs out there getting shit done.
9. @Vikings. I think Kirk Cousins has impressive stats, but my gut tells me he’s not clutch when it matters in games. But their defense is solid and they’re getting their wunderkind RB back.
10. @Bears. New coach and Trubisky is steadily improving at QB.
11. Panthers. Carolina is so Jekyll and Hyde from season to season. Don’t know which one we will get this year.
12. Bears. What? We just played these guys two weeks ago...
13. Rams. Rams are going for broke this year with all the FA signings. They are gonna be tough to beat.
14. @Cardinals. Another team with a new coach and new QB. Too many variables.
15. @Bills. I have it on god authority from a fellow Vynsaniac that these guys are the worst team in the league and should be pushovers. Lol.
16. Vikings again.
17 @Packers. Ugh. Playing at Lambeau in the final game of the regular season when the Division might be up for grabs? Not fun.

I was hoping if we got our running game going we’d be sitting pretty this year, but this schedule is tougher than I’d like. We will see.

6. Bye week.

Loss.

Hardeeharhar.

I refuse to drink the Honolulu Blue Koolaid.
Its all Haterade for me anymore.

The Lions and Ford family clearly don't care about winning, so why should I?

[Tom Foolery]

The Bills lost their “starting” QB AJ McCarron already. He’s out with a broken collarbone.
I feel bad for him. He’s been a backup QB in Cincinnati for four years and was finally gonna get his shot at starting and now this.

[Ran]

Essentially the Bills were having a 3 way battle for the starting QB position for the start of the season. Even if McCarron or Peterman won, it was still only going to be a matter of time before Josh Allen took over. They traded up to get him, but don't want to just hand him the starting job. Allen looked pretty good last night, so he may end up earning it.

[Ran]

It turns out that AJ McCarron didn't break his collarbone and he should be back soon. That said, the Bills already named Josh Allen their starter for the 3rd preseason game against the Bengals. The 3rd week of preseason is where teams use their starters the most.

Speaking of the Bengals, Bills fans ended up donating over $450k to Andy Dalton's charity.

Bills name Peterman starting QB.

Peterman is just filling in until Allen is ready. Plus, the Bills offensive line is terrible. Whoever is playing QB will be running for their life.

A lot of experts are picking the Bills to be the worst team in the NFL this year. Experts can be wrong, but this could be a long season.

[Tom Foolery]

That’s probably why they “chose” Peterman to start. They know he’s gonna be beat to shit thanks to the O line and don’t want their new prize Allen ruined too quickly.

[Tom Foolery]

Bills/Ravens.

Ouch, bro.



Ouch.

[Ran]

My expectations were low. On the bright side, Peterman only threw 2 INTs in the first half, which is an improvement from 5. Hopefully that is the last time the Bills will start him.

[Tom Foolery]

Well. That sucked.
