If the Patriots lose tomorrow then I'm probably just gonna temporarily retire from sports. Red Sox collapsing. Celtics tanking. Bruins sucking. Patriots hopeless. Ugh

I mean, this Dolphins team is teetering. If the Pats can't even beat the likes of the Dolphins (this messy version) and Raiders then you might as well get ready for another Top-5 pick while the Krafts continue to just sit around and not spend on talent (50M+ in cap space left btw)

Pats won and the Red Sox with a 6-run first inning?

Boston sports lives another day. 

I am not convinced at all Giddey is the winning type of player we need. If so then why was OKC so willing to give him up for Caruso? The reason he just couldn?t fit on the roster with his defense and shooting. He got exposed and benched in OKC during the playoffs.  Giddey is ok defensively on players similar size which we already have, still porous on ball defender and has a hard time guarding the pick and roll and really gets cooked in that area, he?s got to be the slowest PG in the league, and can?t guard quick guards at all. Giddey needs to have the ball in his hands to be effective and by doing so you are taking the ball out of Tatum?s and Brown?s hands more. I just think Giddey is destined to be a high usage player on middling teams.

Tatum and Brown need players that can help space the floor for them, Giddey will only clog things up more.

Giddey asked to be traded and they weren?t going to be able to afford him. He just signed a $100M contract.

YIKES. Grade 3 turf toe that will require surgery. Burrow gonna miss three months

Sorry @Birdman

Bengals such a poverty franchise. They didn't even have carts to wheel Burrows out. Made him, their expensive and franchise leader, walk out limping into the tunnels with a staff. Malpractice.

Rice and Worthy are out for Chiefs. Hard to judge the passing game when your 1 and 2 receiver are both out.

I'm really not seeing it with the Chiefs this year. I understand the "2014 and 2018 Patriots" where they looked rough early those years but then come back and still went on a run to make the AFCCG/Super Bowl with Brady and Belichick. The Chiefs though just look older and slower than usual. Kelce is probably washed. Not enough weapons, and their O-Line is also shaky.

I thought KC also got a bit lucky today with PHI being conservative on playcalls for some reason. This same defense was getting diced up by the Chargers last week and when PHI needed to make plays they did. Chris Jones is a beast but the secondary is shaky too. Lot to overcome and I think there's more great teams this year (Packers, Eagles, Bills, Ravens, etc.). KC's schedule is also not easy.

Mahomes also missed guys on his own which is rare. Before the ultimate Thornton bomb, he overthrew him when wide open by a good 10 yards and he was not pressured.
