Yep its not down to Graham its down to Darrell Bevell the OC. Grahams strength is as a quasi-wr lined up all over the pitch to get mismatches and esp running the deep routes. NOT as an in-line blocking td.
Why trade for him and give up so much to get him if you don't play to his strengths???

Hawks v Panthers tonight then traditionally a close one. I predict our o-line holds up and wilson has a big passing day to Graham and to Lockett.

Having a nightmare in my main fantasy league. 3 of my potential picks got sniped from me by the previous person, Though Manning would be good for half a season, Jimmy Graham getting no receptions (until last night after I dropped him to bench!) and to top it off Jamaal Charles is out for the season! 2-4 near the half way stage but still a good shout of playoffs. Only saw a little bit of the Red Zone last night and most of 3rd quarter of Packers game. Rivers over 500 yards! A what not to do on 4th down from the Colts last night! Need the Giants to come good tonight for my five fold. Let me down twice so far this season, have them +4.5 in it

Disappointed the Patriots didn't fuck the Colts harder.

Really good Darrelle Révis interview on CBS 60 minutes last night - probably find it on YouTube or whatever.
God bless.

What does that even mean? Not scoring Td's. His job is to get first downs. Especially on 3rd down. So far he's been an amazing surprise and addition with the loss of Vereen. Let Blount punch it in on the goal line.

WTF were the Colts doing?? Another Sunday another 4th quarter lead blown by my Hawks-at least its the Niners up next on TNF that should be a blowout win (SHOULD BE lol) There was a great article a couple weeks back about how Bill Belichick and the Patriots get huge advantages because they study the NFL rule book in depth and lecture their players on rules, especially the college ones entering the league. They assume that every rule needs to be "re-learned" and take nothing for granted. Bill is right too. The league is so complex with their rules and procedures that even refs can't keep up (great example is them not knowing eligible receiver rules). The Colts engineered a trick play that even if it worked was an illegal formation and thus patriots ball regardless. Why go through all that when it's an illegal play? Shouldn't an NFL head coach and his various assistants know this? Holy shit that was bad.

Q: Roosevelt Colvin said on Twitter last night that you taught your players that specific rule and practiced that situation. Is teaching players the rules an ongoing practice throughout the season, and do you have to teach all new players the rules because it seems a lot of players across the league are unfamiliar with the NFL rulebook?BB: I think it's a really good question, but it would entail probably a pretty lengthy answer. There are so many different levels that that question encompasses. Let's start with rookies coming into the league. The first thing we do is teach them the rules in the National Football League and in particular make them aware of the changes between the college rules and the pro rules, which there are a significant number. And we don't really assume because we have no way of knowing how educated or uneducated they are on the rules, if they even are the same between the two – between college and professional football. So, it starts there. The NFL comes in and they go through all the rules changes with the team and the coaching staff, they meet with the coaching staff in the spring, which is a very informative meeting, and then they meet with the team in training camp and go through the rules changes and it's usually done during the time when the officials come to work the few days of training camp that they do for each team. So, that's also good. It creates a good dialogue between the officials, the players and the coaches, and gives coaches and players an opportunity to ask questions. Sometimes the dialogue goes back and forth – how's this being coached, how's this being officiated and so forth. All of that is done with the intention of trying to get everybody on the same page. Each of our position coaches devotes a significant amount of time in the spring and then also in training camp, particularly in individual, one-on-one-type drills where a lot of times there are only two or three guys on the screen instead of all 22 so you can really get a good, close-up look at a lot of rules like that – the holding and illegal contact and offensive pass interference, defensive pass interference – all those kinds of things. So that's covered very much on an individual basis, specifically to that position. Obviously, the offensive guard doesn't have to know everything about pass interference and vice versa, but it's important for them to know the things in their position and how the game is being officiated. And then those things are also pointed out in various other team or individual settings as they become pertinent over the course of the year, whether it be a particular play or particular opponent or that type of thing. And then I talk to the team on a regular basis on situational plays, which involve officiating, timing, utilization of timeouts and so forth and so on, so that's probably on a regular basis from training camp all the way through the end of the season – call it once a week or something like that – somewhere in that vicinity. Sometimes it's more than that, but always trying to keep our team aware of situations, and a lot of times we change the situation a little bit just to extend the conversation about a play. So this is what happened, but if something else or if they hadn't had timeouts or if the ball was here, or the ball was there, just try to understand and comprehend totally what we're doing from a team standpoint or an individual situation. The whole sideline, ball security, whistle, all those kind of ball possession plays, those are very important for everybody to understand and we stress those a lot. Any time the ball is loose, like it was in last night's game, try to make sure everybody understands what they can do, what they can't do. And of course once you get into the kicking game, you can multiply everything that happens on offense and defense exponentially because you not only have the possession plays, but then you have all the plays that happen when the ball is kicked, and those rules sometimes are, well they are different than plays of possession like a runner or a receiver or a returner who's carrying the ball. There is the whole handling of the ball and the kick and did it cross the line of scrimmage and so forth and so on. It's a lot for the officials to understand, it's a lot for the coaches to understand, and it's a lot for the players to understand. But in the end we try to look at the rule book as a useful tool, something that can benefit us if we know what we have to work with, how to make the best of a situation based on the way the rules are written and try to maximize our opportunities there. But that being said, there is still a lot happening in a short amount of time. It's challenging for all of us – players, coaches and officials. I don't know if that really answers your question. We could probably talk about that one for weeks. www.patriots.com/news/2015/10/06/belichick-mcdaniels-patricia-conference-call-transcripts-106

This is probably the best Jets team in 5-6 years. You'd never know it becaus Rex Ryan isn't around to scream about winning the Super Bowl and not kissing Belichick's rings. It's gonna be a good football game on Sunday, 1 PM ET on CBS. Ian Eagle, Dan Fouts with the call.
Note: Rex Ryan was 4-9 career vs Patriots and is 1-8 over his last 9 match ups. #KissThoseRings

But, I have NFL RedZone, so... God bless.

Chris Ivory has been a tank this season, especially in the last two games. Brandon Marshall has been a great WR1 and the defence strengthened by the return of Revis has been solid. Ryan Fitzpatrick should continue a quarter back for the season. I thought Smith would be decent last year but don't think he's up to it now.

Make no mistake about it. The New York Jets are a good football team. They will be in the playoffs. However, with the game on the line and under 2 minutes left, you gotta cover Gronk or else this happens.........................

Yoooooo... Panthers 6-0.
Don't really get why people don't like Cam, but then again i'm not a big football fan. Pretty dope to have some excitement in NC pro sports, at least the panthers have a legit star something the hornets can't really claim.
