It may be too late.

He is great.

As far as this game goes. I will say one thing. It was preseason. If this was the regular season there would have been more than a handful of players for the Pats that would have played. This game would have been very different.

If the Lions stay healthy, then they may have a good team. That game was not as telling as it appeared.

I'm assuming this is the week 3 nfl preseason thread. Thats why I'm putting up this ex-redskin connection here.

If he can run a fast 40 they may put him there. LOL. I only saw parts of this game and the Raiders looked okay. I'll be curious to see how they do this season.

The Pats players put "dirty hits" on Stafford and he was just retaliating. Suh is a beast and I would hope he continues to go about his business on every play.

[quote=skinsfan69;828502]An old Redskin corner, Martin Mayhew is the GM there now and he's built a good team, mainly through the draft. If Stafford can stay healthy and their secondary holds up they can be a wild card team.[/quote]

Speaking of old Redskins, Mark Murphy has done a respectable job in Green Bay as President/CEO.

I didn't hear it mentioned but i beleive it. This is New England we are talking about. The Super Bowls are tainted, they cheat, so putting dirty hits on players are not beyond them.

First, I don't quite know what you definition of dirty is exactly. Suh wasn't penalized by the refs and if you actually watched the game you would see that he did exactly what the Pats were doing to Stafford after he let the ball go. The I mean, if you watch that hit leveled Stafford on that nasty catch by Johnson you know the "dirty play" was reciprocal.
