None of those layups were easy, he just made them look effortless.

Anyone have a gif of his dunk in the first quarter? Was that with his left?

Toronto - 5
Boston - 6
Philly - 4
Indiana - 7

Minnesota - 7
Golden State - 6
New Orleans - 7
Utah - 6

Is that good?

I believe the word you are looking for is affect. Affect is typically used as a verb while effect is typically used as a noun.

That would be 6’3 Allen Hurns and 6’3 Allen Robinson. And Marcedes Lewis could be very good with a good QB, who btw is 6’6

frick you

I guess I'm wondering if they just pay the tax one year, then get rid of Mirotic in a trade or let him expire and not pay the tax the following year? He has this year and next year if they pick up the option, correct?

Also, was Chicago planning on using the team option on him next year? Seems like he would be a FA anyhow?

He called you a chain smoker. Are you mad??? Are you offended?? Huh, tell us! Well you should be.

Or you could, you know, just not watch it and not bitch about everything

Seems like everyone was able to switch and stay in front of their man. Good defense from the end of regulation through OT

We could sign jimmy graham to like a 3 year deal and then trade him to Seattle for Wagner and their first. I’ve seen it happen before, swear

Good point, I overlooked that

So they started the tradition that the Thursday night kickoff game would be hosted by the Super Bowl champion in 2004, here’s the results of teams that won the Super Bowl and the next season home opener

2004: Pats win both
2005: Pats win both
2006: Steelers win both
2007: Colts win both
2008: Giants win both
2009: Steelers win both
2010: Saints win both
2011: Packers win both
2012: Giants lose opener
2013: Ravens lose opener*(see weekend warrior79’s post)
2014: Seahawks win both
2015: Pats win both
2016: Broncos win both
2017: Pats lose opener

So that puts the super bowl winner at 11/14 in opening night for a winning percentage of 78.5%. A quick google search showed that the average home winning percentage in the NFL is about 57% to 60%. So this is about 20% percent higher odds in favor of the home team compared to an average NFL game.

Of things to note, the Giants who were the first defending Super Bowl winner to lose the following season opener were just a mere 9-7 when they won the Super Bowl and the ravens who were the second team to lose were just one game better at 10-6. This Vikings team is 13-3.

Furthermore, the saints are 0-2 in these games getting curb stomped by the colts 41-10 (Jason David being the lone saints touchdown) and then barely getting edged out 42-34 to the packers.

So yes, based solely off this, I’d rather not play them week 1 in Minnesota and start the season off behind the eight ball for the 5th year in a row.
