The Non-Patriots Football Thread

[MileHigh64]

It seems apparent that the NFL General Football Forum could use a thread that is not about the Patriots. There must be other football related topics out there that don't have anything to do with Brady, Bellichick and all things New England.

Will the Seahawks get their offense back on track? How's Russel Wilson's ankle?
Can the Raiders fix that porous defense this week on the road against the Titans?
How about some of those other rookie or first year starting QB's? Prescott, Wentz, Siemian?
How will Bradford look against that ferocious Carolina defense?
Is Aaron Rodgers really in a slump?
Can the Broncos steal a game in Cincinnati's home opener?
Do the Giants continue to roll in the NFCE?

How will Brady look upon his return next weekend? (Shit.....it's impossible. I guess we should just re-name the general board the New England Patriots forum)

Didn't you male this a Patriots thread by saying it's not a Patriots thread?

Yes. Good point. Like I said earlier, it's impossible to not go there. The dark side of the Force is at work here.

I would talk about how the Broncos might have been right to no give Osweiler franchise money, but that probably goes where this thread isn't supposed to go.

That's an excellent non-Patriots topic. I know that it's early in the season but by not signing Osweiler to a mega contract, the Broncos were able to:

• Lock up Von Miller
• Lock up Emmanuel Sanders
• Lock up CJ Anderson
• Lock up Brandon Marshall

Not paying anyone big quarterback money has bought the franchise more time to protect their interests with many of their other good players. They now have a few years before they have to make the big QB investment.

Additionally, they were able to move up in the draft and select Paxton Lynch. Obviously, Lynch may not end up being the Broncos franchise quarterback but his athleticism so far indicates that he could be the future.

What a relief to not be posting anything about that other team that was mentioned earlier!

Nice, @MileHigh64 unintentionally may have caused a meltdown. Or am I at fault.

I would let Marshall walk, you can find better receivers for cheap in the draft or FA

So, how about those Patriots, eh?

We don't have a WR named Brandon Marshall on the Broncos. We have an ILB that has graded out as a top-5 guy at the position the last couple of years. the Brandon you are thinking of plays for the Jets.

Well so far it definitely looks like a good decision by the Broncos. That $18 million a year has gone towards players actually contributing in a very positive way so far this year. And I would say the Broncos are getting similar production from our 7th round QB as that of the Texans from Osweiler at this point. Too early to claim this as a great non-signing by the Broncos but Osweiler definitely does not look comfortable.

Broncs certainly can't feel as though they let one get away.
