Washington will go by "Washington Football Team" until they figure out what new name they will be using; colors will not change.

[up]Considering how they play football, that name is a whole-ass lie.

[up][up] I wonder if they're doing business with that guy who apparently bought all the potential names.

Patriots re-sign Nick Folk following reports on an injury to draft pick Justin Rohrwasser. Looks like we're getting Big Kick Nick, Part II. Belichick seems to like this guy.

I think Cam is struggling to secure a starting spot?

Man, if the teams do decide to boycott, I would be on board tbh

Cam is gonna be the starter. Pretty much every bulletin out of training camp has him as the top performer. Which was to be expected. Brian Lewerke is a no-name; we re-signed Brian Hoyer for his brain, not his arm; and Jarrett Stidham has been struggling with some sort of leg injury.

New England's best chance of success is with Cam. Unless he's injured, he's not riding the bench.

Anyone know why NFL announcers insist on using its full name? You know, like this: "That's a mistake you can't afford to make in the National Football League."

And Washington came back from 17 down and is just about to win against Philadelphia.

Last time they did that was 1975.

Why the fuck does Matt Patricia still have a job? That should have been an easy win.

At this point I think it's safe to say the Falcons couldn't hold onto a lead if it were handcuffed to them.

Some rather cruel but on point questions in Packer land as we try and work out how big a handicap we give Atlanta next week.

Also in Packer land - we are completely relaxed about the idea of empty stadiums. It's just unfair to be able to get teams to jump offside in their own stadiums. Maybe the league should have mandated that away teams have to use a silent count, just to try and reclaim a little bit of that home advantage?

I had said a number of times this season that I wouldn't be surprised if the NFC West swept the NFC East. Looks like the 49ers proved me wrong (also somehow the Eagles are in first place in their division).

They might enter the playoffs with a losing record.

I hope Dak makes a full recovery. That was a gruesome injury. If you didn't see it, I'd advise you not to look it up.

[up] I did find it touching when Jason Garrett came over from the Giants bench to check in on Dak. These things are more important than division rivalries.

Still, the question I have is the following: Has the pressure gone up on Mike McCarthy or does he get a mulligan for this season with his QB likely done? His record with back-up QB's is mixed (okay pretty poor unless their name was Matt Flynn) but Andy Dalton is no slouch.

Also though: is Kaepernick available? Again, there is an extra dimension there because I believe that Kaepernick wanted to subpoena Mike McCarthy when he accused the league of blackballing him. This was when Aaron Rodgers went down and McCarthy said "we believe in our back-up" only to see Green Bay cycle through like three backups before bringing Matt Flynn back out of desperation - all the while you had a QB born and bred in Wisconsin who had taken his team to the Super Bowl just sitting on the sideline waiting his turn.

This is the first time ever that the Giants and Jets are both 0-5.

[up][up]I don't think any team is seriously entertaining the notion of taking on Kaepernick. Even the Jets, who are so bad they seriously have a shot at 0-16, are content with an imploding Sam Darnold and the broken down husk that used to be Joe Flacco.

Hell, after watching Brian Hoyer throw away an extremely winnable (!) game against the Chiefs, and Jarrett Stidham struggle manfully in vain to put out the fire, I was wishing the Patriots had him as a backup, though I know it'll never happen.

[up]Heh, if the Jets offered Kaepernick a job he'd have solid proof that the NFL just want to sabotage his career.

I'm pretty sure being a Seahawks fan is a risk factor for a number of different heart problems. They always have to make it close.

So what happens first — the Jets win a game or the Steelers lose a game?
