Rex finally ready to return.

Rex Burkhead (ribs) wasn't listed on the Patriots' final injury report for Week 7 against the Falcons. Burkhead is set to make his return after missing the last four games with a rib injury. With Burkhead healthy, it will be interesting to see what the Patriots decide to do with Mike Gillislee, who has been losing work to Dion Lewis and committed a costly fumble in last week's win over the Jets. Burkhead is not a fantasy option at this point.

Thrashen is correct, the 75 IQ thug Marshawn Lynch sprinted out there to protect his buddy (cousin?) Marcus Peters who was being half-heartedly harassed by some of the black Raiders after the cheap shot against Carr. The kneelers are clearly gunning for Carr (and other white QBs/players?) including perhaps some of his own teammates. In the old days when a QB would be cheap-shotted like that, you'd probably see a brawl. There may still be a few teams left in the league where the teammates would stand up for their QBs, but I sense that these anthem protests have brought out some racial divisions and grievances in the locker rooms across the NFL.

Carr is good Christian, patriotic man with 2 children and I'm sure more on the way. He's extremely out of place in that plantation over in Oakland, but sadly he signed a long term deal so he's not going anywhere. As long as Black Jack Del Rio is coach, the demographics of this odious team will not change. While rooting for white players to succeed, I'm definitely enjoying the mess the NFL has made with these protests and the declining TV ratings and attendance figures.

Orange is the new Black GM Reggie McKenzie is just as much to blame for the composition of the Raiders. I hate Jack Del Rio and he has worked with black GMs both in Jacksonsville and now in Oakland. Jacksonville's black GM Shack Harris was anti-white as they get and Del Rio went along for the ride. I guess my point is that it is just not the head coaches who are to blame for assembling teams but also GMs. Black GMs seem to be hellbent on darkening up rosters as much as possible - other current and former black GMs include Dougtavious Whaley (former Bills GM), Jerry Reese (Current Giants GM), Martin Mayhew (Former Lions GM), Rick Smith (Current Texans GM), Sashi Brown (Current Browns GM). I think their track records speak for themselves.

+1 The black GMs seem uniformly ultra-Caste in orientation.

Rick Smith was very good for a while when it came to the Texans' defense, but they always had a 4/5 sumo o-line. Now the defense is 10/11 black (the suspended Cushing's days as a starter are near the end, leaving only the injured J. J. Watt), while the o-line remains as black as ever.

I agree with what you said about Del Rio, but it's also not a coincidence that he's been the head coach of the two blackest franchises in league history. It's obviously his "comfort zone."

Hopefully this happens but I won't hold my breath given the way Taylor has been grossly underused his entire career. And of course they're going to put him in the slot even though he makes an ideal outside receiver:

Denver Broncos WR Jordan Taylor is expected to see a heavily expanded role as the team's #3 receiver in the slot with WR Emmanuel Sanders (ankle) out for Week 7 against the Chargers, the team's official website reports. WR Bennie Fowler will be the starting outside receiver in Sanders place, but Taylor will be out there often as well in three-wide sets with WR Demaryius Thomas.

Disappointing season so far for RBs and WRs.
Burkhead injured. Woodhead injured. Zenner barely used. McCaffrey barely running the ball. Edelman injured.
Theilen is probably the brightest star of the season.
RB's yes, but our WR's still look promising with Jordy still possibly the best in the league. Cooper Kupp is a possible Rookie of the year, Hogan and Amendola are both playing great for the Pats. Titan Eric Decker is starting to hit his stride, Cole Beasley also starting to click. Then there's Adam Humphries a guy nobody talks about even on here, very underrated.

I wouldn't call it caste orientation but blatant racism and essentially doing what professional leagues did prior to them being integrated. They are showing a preference for non-white players because they are not white - I think it is a step beyond the typical caste mentality. Just my theory though.

That's the definition of the Caste System. ;)

I know what you mean of course. Some push the envelope more than others. Bill Belichick is a bit of a reactionary, so were Mike Martz and Eric Mangini and a few others, but it's all a matter of degree and how extreme some are willing to go in their racism.

I agree completely. Black general managers take it much further than the typical caste mentality. White general managers and coaches look at the caste system exactly like any system with rules, laws, formulas and instructions to follow. Emotion and personal feelings are left out of the picture. They just want to follow the rules and get paid. With black general managers the caste system is more like a zero sum game of racial warfare. They want as many blacks possible on their teams because that's more blacks getting paid and enjoying the luxuries of being a professional athlete and less whites. They couldn't care less about giving undeserving black players ridiculous contracts because that's just money going from YT to the bruthas. It's the same when they stockpile black quarterbacks like in Buffalo or when they put out all black offensive lines. Even by the rules of the caste system it doesn't make much sense to do those things, but they care more about black supremacy than the caste system and they're stupid enough to believe in it.

Kevin Hogan goes from starting last week to being a healthy scratch today.

Looking forward to seeing what Beathard does against the Cowboys. It would be great to see the 49ers beat Dallas. Shannahan has compared Beathard to Kirk Cousins - rooting hard for the Iowa product to have a big game - hopefully he gets the ball to Kittle and Trent Taylor alot.

The Rams face off against the Cardinals - these teams are the antithesis of each other - on one side is an aging team which is overwhelmingly black and on the other side are the up and coming young Rams with white players making an impact on both offense and defense.

Not a fan of either the Titans or the Browns but it would be nice to see Cleveland lose again.

A Trubisky led upset of the Panthers would be great as well. It looks like the Bears are just going to run the ball into the ground rather than give Trubisky a chance to win with his arm and get Gentry some receptions.

Go Saints - Packers can lose out for all I care. According to all of the analysts Hundley is the next Dak Prescott.

So far I have seen Vacarro give up pursuit on a long TD run and Scam give up pursuit on a scoop and score by the Bears after a stupid option play by the Panthers.

Newton throws into tight coverage, the ball is tipped, intercepted for a pick 6. Bears up 14-0.

Is McCaffrey even in the game?

Trubisky with a long pass! Panthers on the verge of getting blown out.

I'm watching the game because of Trubisky and McCaffrey. McCaffrey has been given little opportunity.

If Rodriguez continues to not use McCaffrey then I hope they lose every game for the rest of the season. They would deserve to just from stupidity; he is their most dynamic offensive player. He has the most upside.

The announcers mentioned the lack of urgency on the part of the Panthers at the end of the first half. Time ran out on them. If they had hustled they could have kicked a field goal.

How much of this lack of urgency is due to Newton's lack of leadership?
