NFL 2019-20

We open this thread with a bombshell of a note.  "Dearest Mother, the war is over and I am coming home."  According to Adam Schefter, Andrew Luck has informed the Colts that he is retiring from the NFL.  Updates to come.

The Colts lost to the Bears, 27-17.

Saw this and felt the need to share it -

Physical toll on Andrew Luck through 6 NFL seasons:
» Torn cartilage in 2 ribs
» partially torn abdomen
» a lacerated kidney that left him peeing blood
» at least 1 concussion
» a torn labrum in his throwing shoulder
» and this mysterious calf/ankle issue that led to this


The Colts completely mismanaged him and let him get destroyed out there.

He's back!  According to Todd Archer, the Cowboys and Ezekiel Elliott agreed on a six-year contract extension, with the running back planning to be at practice today.

I hope this incident serves as a wake-up call, but you never really know.  Raiders head coach Jon Gruden said wide receiver Antonio Brown will play on Monday against the Broncos in Oakland, Calif.

Over and over again AB keeps getting rewarded for acting like a jackass.  He got a massive contract after not playing in his final game as a Steeler and forcing his way out.  He got an endorsement deal out of the helmet drama.  And now he is not going to get suspended for yelling and threatening to punch the GM.

So much for the second opportunity.  The Raiders released wide receiver Antonio Brown.

He has since lost his helmet endorsement.

That really is unfortunate how callus the Patriots are being in regard to the underlying concern here. The victim has or is set to speak to NFL directors and now the Patriots are forced to take this more seriously but this is civil not criminal allegation so only so much can be investigated and according to NFLPA agreements Brown might skate. Marquise Brown of the Ravens has been listed in the lawsuit as being in the house at the time of the allegedly incident but is not named in the suit as having been directly involved. Stay tuned and I hope I posted in the proper place on my first post.

Are you ready for some football?  The 0-1 Browns are playing the 0-1 Jets on Monday Night Football.  The Browns’ Odell Beckham Jr. is making his return to MetLife Stadium and the team hasn’t won on MNF since 2008.  Updates to come.

The Browns beat the Jets, 23-3.

I just can't see AB's career bouncing back from this latest turn of events.  The Patriots released wide receiver Antonio Brown.

[InThe313]

Honestly, I'm starting to worry if we're looking at symptoms of CTE.  Wide receiver Antonio Brown unleashed a tirade on Twitter, calling out ex-teammate and Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and Patriots principle owner Robert Kraft and said he's done playing in the NFL.  Updates to come.

The Patriots beat the Jets, 30-14.
The Steelers lost to the 49ers, 24-20.

What this is is two teams looking to break two bad slumps.  The 1-1 Bears are playing the 0-2 Redskins on Monday Night Football.  The Bears have seven straight losses in the series.  The Redskins are 1-16 in their last 17 at home on MNF.  Updates to come.

The Bears beat the Redskins, 31-15.

Get this menace out of the league!  Raiders linebacker Vontaze Burfict has been suspended for the rest of the 2019 season for a helmet-to-helmet hit to Colts tight end Jack Doyle on Sunday.

It’s very likely someone will win their first game tonight.  The 0-3 Bengals are playing the 0-3 Steelers on Monday Night Football.  The Steelers are on a 16-game home win streak on MNF.  The Bengals’ Andy Dalton is 3-12 in his career against the Steelers.  Updates to come.

The Steelers beat the Bengals, 27-3.
