Baltimore loves Ty'som Williams, he'll get first crack. Drafted him last round in my fantasy leagues

Balty is on some Eagles level injuries

I'm betting they sign Latavius Murray. He's probably the best of that bunch

SD

They already signed Devonta Freeman

The big names (not necessarily best RBs) left: Gore, AP, Gurley, Shady, Latavius Murray

They took Murray, the least cooked of the group.

Josh Gordon reinstated again. Surely he's sorted himself out and will finish a season this time.

The man. The myth. The legend.

Chiefs are under .500 for the first time since week 11 2015

Teddy B and the Broncos have played three shtein teams but I root for him so I hope they keep up their winning.

Am I the only NFL watcher who thinks that it's almost always better to just take the delay of game than to avoid it by burning a time out?

How many times do you see games like last night where a team burns one or two TOs in the third quarter, early 4th....only to sorely need them at the end of the game.  But that's the way the game is played, so there must be some good reason.

What am I missing?  Why are is avoiding a delay of game so often judged to be more important than having TOs to use in the closing game?

No, I generally agree. But it depends on the time in the game, the down and distance and position on the field.

If you're 3rd and 2 I get taking the TO. But if you're 2nd and 15 already why burn it?

3rd quarter 3rd and 2... To my way of thinking not worth the time out.  Eat the yards, even suffer the drive to stall if you can't get seven ...  because if you can't get seven after farging yourself five, then you suck anyway and farg you.

I'd rather close a half with time outs to spare than use them up and not have them when you need it.

There are plays in the book designed to gain yard... Execute them.  There are no plays to stop the clock.  I mean there are, but you know what I mean.

Say hello to your newest KC Chief!

A little advice for Andy....keep him away from Britt.

Andy gets another speedy receiver... Gordon gets someone who ignores blatant addiction problems... everyone wins except the next innocent victim.
