The backup QB for Patriots actually got NE a WIN!!! That says A LOT about their team have SO MANY talents, it's VERY VERY respectable!!!

He might be actually really GOOD! I wouldn't count them out just cuz Brady is out, yet. Let's see if he wins again next several weeks.

Hell, that's a LOT more impressive than the Dolphins performance! I fear Dolphins will be really bad again this season! We have a DAMN Curse!!! :|

That's why they are bringing up Chris Sims then huh? Their back up QB right now is a pile of trash.

Yes, he lead them to victory, but I wouldn't say that that is "VERY VERY" respectable. With Brady out, confidence definitely takes a hit for the Pats and it gives opponents a moral boost of sorts because one of the leagues best QBs will not be playing when they face them. I'm not the only one who thinks this:

I don't care if the Pats won their opener against Kansas City with Matt Cassel playing quarterback most of the way. Without Brady, the Patriots no longer are the Patriots. They don't dominate. They don't intimidate. They don't score at will or do the things that demand comparisons to the greatest teams in league history.

The first glimpse of life without Brady came when New England barely was able to beat the much weaker Chiefs at home. Cassel is, at best, a solid offensive manager. But it wasn't a solid offensive manager that led the Patriots to an 18-1 record or won NFL and Super Bowl MVP honors.

The Pats are bringing in Chris Simms, which doesn't say a lot about Cassel, Brady's backup for the last three seasons.

So yeah, I'd be worried if I were a Pats fan.

That was a big surprise to see the Dolphins own the Patriots. I was also surprised that the Saints almost won yesterday. I was annoyed by the play calling because less than a yard outside the endzone, and they just kept trying to plow through the center. After three attempts, you'd figure they would go with a fake run, but no, they tried to go through the middle again and fail. At least it lead to a safety.

My first real NFL season I'll be following :D

The fact that I'm Dutch doesn't really help - I actually have to watch the games at 1AM or wait for the rerun next day on NASN, which is a 24/7 dedicated American Sports network here...

As far as I can say the new season has seen some pretty unexpected results already... which at least makes it more exciting for me as I'm still trying to figure out who I really like and who I don't - also, I basically just know the Giants, Pats, Colts, Cowboys and Packers (the latter I have been supporting for a while...) so lots for me to learn/watch :p

Panthers are looking mighty good, but they'll have to go through the Saints, although they haven't exactly been doing great in the long haul, allowing themselves to be overtaken (or nearly overtaken) when they have the lead.

    • Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
    • The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
