NFL 2016: Week 3

You know, when you're 3-0 and you have the Jets, Dolphins and Bills in your division, you can actually afford to lose like the next 10 games and still win the division, right?

I'm not a Patriots fan, but I still root for the Patriots because it's just so much fun to watch people freak out when they do well. Just pure entertainment.

I've never been fond of the Patriots (particularly since I was still technically a Raiders fan during the tuck rule game) but I'm very much looking forward watching Brady destroy everybody when he comes back.

So are we going to get Julian Edelman under center next Sunday for the Pats?

... my new favorite gif.

The fact that you can just string them together and they flow seamlessly is pure magic.

Indeed.

Although this gif probably doesn't apply to the Pats, no matter who they put under center.

The only way the Patriots could be even more awful than they are now is if they moved to Dallas. Omg can you imagine?!

We need Tonya Harding to pull another Kerrigan on Brady's knee....except they still win. Maybe there needs to be a new target in Darth Bellacheat.

You know, maybe Eli's the Oksana Baiul of this narrative.

Tonya totally wasn't involved. I watched the 30 for 30 on it this past week and she swore she didn't take part.

Speaking of bloodbaths... Patriots QB Jacoby Brissett tore a ligament in his thumb in Thursday's game, which may or may not require surgery.

As it stands now, if the Patriots had to play a football game on Sunday, Julian Edelman would probably be their starting QB.

At some point, they're going to have to sign a QB, aren't they?

(I went for the biggest sh*t eating grin pic, and there were so many)

Whenever I see him in that jersey I think of him assaulting that trainer. Piece of sh*t.

I'm looking forward to them signing Charlie Whitehurst, who will sweep into Boston w/his flowing locks, drive Gilette razor blade sales into the ground, get Giselle to drop Brady for a real man, lose all the games and bring the Patriots' cruel rule to an end. Maybe even throw the Emperor down a tunnel to his death.

The Browns have the clipboard holder, so he'll be injured soon.

Is there another FA QB with flowing locks?

Jeff George is available.

They're calling Wentz the Ginger Jesus in Philly?

NFL fans: "Wow, a ginger that can play quarterback!"

Andy Dalton: "..."

6/14 for 51 yards and 1 INT.

Is it too soon to start talking about BORTLESDEPRESSION?

The Ravens O Line is looking pretty suspect. Zuttah in particular.

Can we embed vines? If not: https://twitter.com/minakimes/status...

There appears to be no Ravens pass rush.

Because of this week's unrest in Charlotte, Vikings-Panthers game was pushed back to 4 p.m.

No, wait, scratch that. The Panthers think the game is starting at 4. The Vikings are out there playing already.

What the what?

The Ravens seem to want to give this game away

Ugh, Panthers.

Beginning to suspect Cam Newton is deeply in love with that particular football considering how much he seemed to want to hold it forever.

Okay. I am sure that there is a way to win uglier than that, but I can't think of how.

A couple of Broncos defenders knocked Dalton's helmet off. It was hard to tell at first.

The Los Angeles Rams scored a touchdown.

Tampa's defense is essentially nine players and two giant holes where the safeties should be.

Sure glad they drafted a kicker instead of a safety.

*missed extra point*

SO GLAD.

Hawks O looking good so far...against the Blaine Gabbert Backup Singers (aka, Chip Kelly Defense, formerly known as The Sieve).

Okay. The Browns need to stop pissing off old gypsy women.

As bad as things are for the Browns, it's probably more "on" than "off".

Certis seems to actually know how to play. So far he isn't getting obliterated by his first real defense.
