Aaron Rodgers doesn't belong on the top three list yet. Not even close.

Johnny Unitas, Dan Marino, Steve Young, John Elway, Brett Favre, Sammy Baugh, Fran Tarkenton, Peyton Manning, Terry Bradshaw, and maybe Roger Staubach belong on that list before Rodgers.

It's cute you left Brady off the list.

So, our 3rd string QB Jacoby Brissett has torn a ligament in his thumb and needs surgery: http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/jacoby...s-qb-woes/

Fuck it, if Edelman is QB in game 4, I'm betting on the Patriots and the ability of Belichick to pull off the win. Somehow we'll make it happen.

At this point, I think I could succeed as Patriots' QB, and I'm in a wheelchair

Whoah. When it rains it pours. A lot of early and pre-season injuries this year. I wonder if the stress on no contact in training isn't leaving players more open to injury rather than less so.

Don't audible bootlegs unless it's absolutely necessary.

I was in agreement Brady and Montana should be in the top 3.

Bills beat the Cardinals, and the Vikings beat the Panthers.

Both surprising results IMO!

Bills defeated Patriots with a 16 - 0 shutout victory at Gillette Stadium.

Not good, but not terrible considering we had a rookie QB. The shutout victory over the Texans last week was more down to special teams, who just didn't come through this week. That said, I'm still disappointed, and most upset by 4 plays:

1) Edelman's 90 yd reception called back because of an offensive penalty. We can't let that happen.

2) Brissett fumbling in the red zone. This one is forgivable because hey, he's a rookie, but it still hurt. We were in field goal range; just had to keep possession of the ball.

3) Gostkowski's missed field goal. WAT?!? That's two in the first 4 weeks, from a guy who only missed 3 the entire of last season. I'm hoping this is just a temporary confidence issue after the missed PAT in Denver.

4) Going for it on 4th down with less than 3 minutes left in the 4th quarter. Honestly, at this point in the game it was obvious we were going to lose. Optimistically we were only two scores down (2 TDs with 2pt conversions), but realistically it would have to be two TDs and a field goal. That's a big ask for anyone with less than 3 minutes left, let alone a rookie QB. IMO, Bellichick made the wrong call here, and should have kicked the field goal to at least avoid the shutout. Then maybe you get the ball back with some time left and can try and put together a scoring drive to make the score less lop-sided.

That's it. Let it out!

I bathe in the tears of Packers and Bears fans. Give me more!

(Lions fans get a pass because I feel bad for them.)
