> [@AlsoNamedBort](#): > > Is RG3 done now? I’m assuming the Browns will draft a QB, and I don’t see anyone else giving him a shot to start. His injury concerns make him an unlikely backup as well. Eh, Chip Kelly will probably give him a shot. He has looked _slightly_ better this preseason/game than I was expecting. As for Wentz, I’m withholding judgment until I see him play an NFL defense. The Browns were awful on defense last year and hemmorhaged talent in the offseason. Remember, this time last season Marcus Mariota was the second coming of Marino and Jameis Winston was a bust. ---

After 1 game, the Pats have a clear 1 game lead. Three easy wins at home next, then Brady comes back, rested and pissed. Life is good. ---

They are who we thought they were…tonight, anyway. The Niners are swarming Gurley and Keenum isn’t doing much to dissuade them from it. Of course, everyone in (and out of) the building knows when Gurley’s going to run. As good as yesterday’s network games were, that’s how bad tonight’s games have been. ---
