Football is back: Tips for Week 1 after Broncos win.

Football is back: Tips for Week 1 - NFL.com 

Delayed for thirty minutes by lightning the NFL opener  was worth the wait. At first Manning and Flacco traded touchdowns while the Ravens defense looked like it could live without Ray Lewis and veteran CB Revis. Then the 3rd quarter turned into a Madden NFL video game with my nephew playing the Peyton Manning character. One blown non-challenge flag by Ravens Head Coach Harbaugh on a Wes Welker catch turned the Ravens defense into jelly. Peyton Manning found two new favorite receivers while scoring 35 points in the third quarter. While the Broncos defense turned the Ravens into tackling dummies.

The Broncos even left a few points on the board. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000239045/article/broncos-lb-danny-trevathan-has-blooper-to-remember

Tebow cut by Patriots

Tebow's skills not enough for Patriots - ESPN:

"Tebow is likely headed somewhere else"

Three Quarterbacks are hard to keep around on a 53 man roster. But the kid did cause Mallet to sweat and he appeared to have the backing and encouragement of Brady. If Tebow does not get picked up by the Bills they should fold the franchise. Not too long ago the Patriots sucked really bad and brought in a guy named Flute. Doug actually sparked the rebirth of the franchise. Buffalo is a mess, perhaps that is where Tim should go?

Tim Tebow on roster Death Watch?

Coach knows best. With an immobile aging QB the Patriots need a 3 QB roster. Losing Hernandez, injury prone Amendola and a questionable Gronkowski keeping a pile of Tight Ends and Receivers just makes sense. The Defense will need to be close to perfect this year. That said, the Patriots did cut 11 players.

Tim Tebow of New England Patriots not worried about fate with team - ESPN Boston:

"While not in the clear yet, Tebow did survive the team's Monday cut down to 77 players. The Patriots have until Tuesday to get down to the mandatory 75."
