No, they only did that because they were doing a doubleheader. It's going to be Jon Gruden and Mike Tirico. Which, frankly, is not an improvement over Trent Dilfer.

True. But I'll take anyone over Dilfer.

THURS, Sept 17th
Denver (1-0) @ Chiefs (1-0) - 8:25PM CBS/NFL Network

Within Buffalo's last 5 games:
Andrew Luck - 26/49, 243 yards, 2TD, 2INT, 63.6 rating
Tom Brady* - 8/16, 80 yards, 64.6 rating
Aaron Rodgers - 17/42, 185 yards, 2INT, 34.3 rating
Peyton Manning - 14/20, 173 yards, 2INT, 56.9 rating
*Meaningless week 17 game

Having said that, the Patriots are 26-4 against Buffalo in the Belichick era. Although I think Buffalo has a really good chance to win this, history is not on their side.

A win would be extra sweet, since I live in Patriots territory.

Happened in the parking lot after the game. Disgusting.

Not an excuse but from the accounts I've heard.. the video also doesn't show the full story. The guys attacking while he's on the ground deserve jail time.

Here's the full story: The Viking fan in the video and a 49er fan NOT in the video were talking smack to each other, getting into each others faces. A lot of fans from both sides were telling both people to stop and just walk to their cars. The Viking fan shoved his wife into a barrier to try to get to the 49er fan, then at that point the 49er fan walked away from the situation and that's when the Viking fan may have got a little cocky. The Viking fan turned around and addressed everyone behind him (mostly 49er fans). He said " what's up, any of you fuckers want some?!" At that point everyone went silent for 2 seconds then as the Viking fan was turning around to walk away, the 49er fan in the black (at the beginning of the video who threw the first punch) tackled him to the ground. That's where the video starts.

Meh. It doesn't justify ganging up on him, kicking him in the face IMO.

Damn, Jones (on the Bengals) only got a 35K fine for basically ripping off an Oakland player's helmet and then shoved (I wouldn't say it was a 'slam') his head into it. I mean the net effect of the play wasn't that terrible but that's malicious as fuck. Can't believe he got off with only a fine.

Denver really looks like shit. They need to just CJ Anderson point the ball... Not Hillman, because that doesn't help me one bit. Peyton is done. This is his last year. Not retiring until you suck? Well, son, it's time.

It also doesn't make too much sense to change Peyton Manning's offense this late in his career.

They are finding a bit more success, but it certainly isn't the potent offense we are used to seeing. The running game is struggling (which is really strange for a Kubiak led team) and changing out most of the OLine didn't really help.

Denver isn't look as bad, but they defense is really keep them alive. Another takeaway and good performance.
