Washington WR Desean Jackson has a Grade 2 separated shoulder so he will miss a couple of weeks.

Johnny Manziel will receive reps with the first-team offense in a Friday scrimmage.
ESPN Cleveland reported Tuesday that he's made "tangible" progress. Pettine and the Browns desperately want McCown to start, but he simply might not be good enough.

NFC West: The only way that San Francisco or St. Louis wins the division is if Wilson gets hurt for the first time and if Palmer gets hurt once again. To be fair, St Louis has a shot. When you've got that front 7, you've always got a shot. Add in Gurley on offense, and Foles at QB. St Louis has a shot. San Francisco, well, I'll be winning with them on Madden. Yeah, I figure that the Rams will be the best team to finish 3rd in their division and have a shot of making the playoffs as the second wild card team.

Both of those games were close last season.

A disclaimer then two jokes.
- It is a very noble thing that the Indianapolis Colts are doing. Misused or abused prescription drugs are a pox on our society and any way to properly get rid of them and get them away from people who could get their hands on them for illicit reasons is a good thing.
Now, the jokes.
1. "Safe disposal" is sure an interesting way of saying "a laundry bag in Jim Irsay's car."
2. The 2014 highlight DVD must be a very entertaining watch. "Hey fans, sit back and enjoy that time the Patriots ripped our lips off at home in primetime, or that other time the Patriots stomped us into oblivion and ended our season!"

Just because you only watched two Colts games last year doesn't mean that it was not a year that produced exciting highlights. I watched 5 Patriots games last year. Should I have judged their season from the Dolphins, Chiefs, and Packers games?

Should I have judged their season from the Dolphins, Chiefs, and Packers games? A few pages back you said: It seems like you already are judging the 2014 Patriots by watching only a handful of games. And I'm cracking these kinds of jokes because I find the Colts' superiority complex so utterly laughable. They hang "AFC FINALIST" banners after getting dominated by 38 in the conference championship and hand out DVDs for seasons in which they didn't even advance to the Super Bowl, let alone win it. I'm honestly waiting for them to announce that the entire 53-man roster from 2014 will be receiving "participation rings".

Every team has a yearly highlight video. Yes even the Raiders.
Raggin on a final 4 team for doing something good and then talking about superiority complex? Dude, seriously?

Even Colts fans kind of have to admit that hanging an "AFC Finalist" banner is some dumb old bullshit.

True...."AFC Finalist" is kind of a lame banner that really doesn't celebrate ultimate success. I mean no one ever raised a banner celebrating a regular season record culminating in arguably the ultimate choke job in NFL history for a team....

The Browns should have a 'Participant' banner every year.
I'm sorry Cleveland.

To be fair for the Pats, it took an AMAZING play by both Eli and Tyree to beat em. That's not really a choke job.

To be fair an undefeated regular season has only happened twice in almost 50 years. Would it have been better if the Pats had won the SB and joined the Dolphins as the only other unbeaten team? Absolutely, but the rarity of it makes that banner worthwhile. Whereas there's an AFC finalist every season and they got destroyed in that game.

They were at the precipice of immortality and played so tight you couldn't get a pin up their ass. You won't get a disagreement on that out of me. Looking back, the best thing that could have happened for the 2007 Patriots would have been losing that Monday night game in Baltimore that they literally won by one yard after a Ravens Hail Mary fell just short of the end zone. Had New England lost that game, they could have refocused their efforts and rested their players for the stretch run, but the pursuit of 19-0 was so encompassing, they had no choice but to go all-in every week and it caught up with them at the most inopportune time. In hindsight, Patriots fans should have realized trouble was on the horizon during the playoffs, when they won nailbiters against a woefully-undermatched Jaguars team and a battered and bruised Chargers team. Neither of those games should have been within 20 points but the Patriots were so tight on every single snap that it just started weighing so heavily on them. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go chug bleach because I'm remembering Super Bowl XLII. ALL THOSE HOURS OF THERAPY, WASTED! And for what it's worth, there isn't a single Patriots fan that likes or even acknowledges the 16-0 banner. It's just a constant, painful reminder of what could have been. Which is really my point on the "AFC FINALIST" banner. Why would you want an enormous, hanging reminder of the time you got completely annihilated and the game was over before the fourth quarter even began?

As far as that game went, I expected it to be close. The Giants gave the Patriots hell in the regular season. Some teams just give some teams special fits that other teams just do not. That year, the Giants were that team for the Patriots. Had they faced anyone else that year, Mercury Morris might actually shut up for once.
