Holy shit, the Texans, Titans, and Jags actually have a shot at winning that dog shit division.
Andrew Luck out 2-6 with lacerated kidney. Thanks for beating PFM and the Broncos, now get some well deserved rest. What a shitty division champ the AFC South will produce this year, for sake of watchable playoff football I hope the Jags take it.

Don't get me wrong, I hate seeing all the injuries, especially all the ACL's that happen year in and year out. It's something that definitely needs to be looked at, and definitely something that Lewis didn't deserve (looked like a non-contact injury at that, so sucks even more). I never ever wish ill will on any player. Never would I ever condone a Tanya Harding on a player and definitely the speediest of recoveries to any player that goes down. It's their career on the line after all.
Anything that causes the pats and their fans angst though, I'm completely okay with. I'm good with that pinch of salt.
Onto other topics... Luke McCown to IR for back surgery for unknown reasons all of a sudden? Saints are in like Flynn.
That's what happens when you fuck around for 3+ years and don't manage to put even a semi-competent offensive line in place. It all adds up to a lot of wear and tear.

I was just reading on ESPN how the Colts won by letting Luck take hits. Hopefully this will make other teams think twice about using the same strategy to beat the Broncos - except maybe in the Super Bowl.
That blows. He's a rare talent, the kind of QB you build a perennial SB contender around. Tom Brady is, too, of course, but put him on the Colts and see how long he'd last. At the end of the day, football is a team game. Neither of these guys are literally superman, able to leap crappy schemes and lack of surrounding talent in a single bound.
Two different QB's. Luck holds the ball too long and their offense seems to dependent on pushing the ball up field. Brady also has the quickest release in the NFL. Also, an argument can be made that Brady's line probably isn't any better. The last game he had a lineman playing left tackle (his blind spot) for the first time in his career.

Then why given an ineffective O-Line to start sat year did Brady completely stink for the first few games? Including getting smoked by the Chiefs making people openly wonder if he should retire?
All good points.
Given the choice of just one player from the entire league to start a team with, all other things being equal, including his ups and downs this year, I might still take Andrew Luck.
Just sayin'.
Bummed he got hurt.
Sad luck, man.
True, he has taking a beaten this year. But I may put Cam in that discussion.
I'd take Cam. Just about impossible to stop when his passing game is going. He made it look easy against the Packers. Imagine if he had more than Olsen to work with.
Wait, if we are talking starting a franchise and he'll be my QB for the next 10 years I'd take Cam, but for one season or one game I'm taking Rodgers.
I was almost shocked to hear Elway say this, "Obviously, [I'm] very disappointed," Broncos executive VP John Elway said in a statement. "We're all very disappointed, as a team, that it was not reduced."..
Are you trolling us John?, your lucky it wasn't a month you F-ing moron.
This isn't the first lacerated kidney in the NFL this season too. Pissing blood is no small thing.
Does anyone else reach for their back when they hear the term "Lacerated kidney"? I mean how the fuck? It's sort of the nails-on-a-chalkboard phrase of injuries. You can't just put a band-aid on it.
Yes, I know when you're on the football field you're just a meatbag pinball machine... so rhetorical question.
I didn't see/hear it, but it wouldn't surprise me if he didn't just shuffle out and say that in complete monotone, as if it were completely expected and he just HAD to come out and make a statement for the record but couldn't just go off the rez and say something like, "Well no shit it didn't get reduced because Talib was a dumbass..."
