Seattle traded for OT Duane Brown. Smart move.

Jimmy G traded from Pats to 49ers. 2nd round pick.
Someone didn't learn from the Packers apparently.

 Re: 2017 NFL Season General NFL Thread
Anybody watching the MNF Chiefs Broncos game? Siemian reminds me of Ponder (in a bad way). Decision making and the way he panics when pressured.

 Re: 2017 NFL Season General NFL Thread
This season could legitimately come down to who has the bast backups. What a crazy season for injuries!

 Re: 2017 NFL Season General NFL Thread
Is there any lightweight brace that players can wear to prevent these types of injuries? They just printed an actual bridge with a 3D printer. Can't they print custom knee braces?

Can't they print custom knee braces? Braces help but can't eliminate injuries. Some doctors claim they actually do more harm than good as they restrict movement and prevent "give." I think maybe Belichek subscribes to that theory or so I read somewhere. Quote: Companies that make knee braces claim that their products work well. Scientific studies have not completely agreed. Some doctors are afraid that knee braces may actually increase the number of knee injuries in athletes https://familydoctor.org/knee-bracing-what-works/

 Re: 2017 NFL Season General NFL Thread
Was a skeptic of how good the Eagles really are until today. Destroying a good Broncos D.
Both the Rams and Eagles are separating themselves from the rest of the league right now.

Both the Rams and Eagles are separating themselves from the rest of the league right now. Yeah, amazing what good QB play will get you. What has happened to Denver's defense? Also, the Bengals are a mess.

Seahawks learned today why we got rid of Blair Walsh. 0-3 from 44, 39, and 49. They lost a 3 point game after failing on two 2-point conversions.
