They're not showing GB game in my area and for once I don't care.

Instead I'm watching Jax vs Indy and Bortles has a TD pass early. Watching Bortles lead Jax(7-4) to the playoffs would be a nice screw you to the Haters!

With Crab Legs returning from injury and Geno Smiff replacing Eli Manning, the number of White quarterbacks starting today drops to 22.

Rex Burkhead has 4 runs for 44 yards for 11 yards a touch. Feed Trex the ball and get out of the way.

They need to be careful as Buffalo's defense is keeping them in the game. Amendola looks good so far.
Would like to see Gronkowski get more involved as this is a very close game on the road.

Looks like Tion Green has bypassed Zenner on the depth chart.

rookie Tion Green, he of the 2,072 yards TOTAL rushing in college at "powerhouse" Cincinnati (in five seasons, actually, due to a medical redshirt), is apparently ahead of ZZTops on depth chart for the Lions ... Zenner, for reference, rushed for over 2,000 yards in THREE SEPARATE SEASONS whilst in college.

Green's official NFL.com scouting report says:
Production has been below average in college. Lacks explosiveness. Playing style lends itself to a grinder mentality. Lacks the functional speed to consistently beat flowing linebackers around the corner. Face-up runner with difficulties getting skinny through tight quarters. Decisiveness and pace of his runs will both have to accelerate. Premature finisher who looks to cover and duck his helmet rather than seek out additional moves on second level. Runs between tackles like he's afraid to fumble.

it's obvious that the Detoilet Lions don't view Zenner as a piece of their future plans.

Alex Smith isn't the most popular quarterback on these boards, but he's certainly a better athlete than he's given credit for by (((the usual suspects.))) as more evidence of this, he has a 70-yard run to his credit today.

Good yardage totals for Kelce and Gronkowski, who are keeping pace for their 1,000-yard seasons. Burkhead scored on a goal line carry and seems to have completely bypassed Gillislee and White on the depth chart. If Deion Lewis (who is talented) gets injured, Rex would become the lead back.

Dean Lowry’s 62-yard fumble recovery TD of Jameis Winston was awesome...

Disappointing day for Thielen this far (19 yards), but hopefully he’ll get more involved in the 2nd half.

Since they have no intention of playing Zenner because he's white they should just cut Zenner. Give him a chance with another team.
