    @kiwimurph said in NFL 2018:

    Horrific first game for the Lions.

    They get absolutely destroyed by the Jets - 48-17.

    Stafford was horrendous - threw 4 interceptions and took a beating.

    Darnold started poorly with an interception returned for a touchdown on his very first play but rebounded and played a nice debut.

    Good news for 49ers - they play the Lions in San Francisco next week. That looks very winnable now.

    Jets! Jets! Jets!

    Even sweeter that it was a Bellicheck disciple in Matt Patricia on the receiving end.

    5 interceptions, first pick six since 2013, first punt return for touch down in about as long. This jets defence has been statistically unlucky around highly variable stats like pick sixes and sacks the last couple of years so hopefully they get some luck this year.

    Fun fact: Darnold is the 3rd qb to throw a pick six with his first career attempt. Jameis Winston and Brett Favre are the other two.

    @mariner4life Gruden no good in his return either - his offense got completely shut down by the Rams - Derek Carr was awful.

    That's new. Vontae Davis hates playing for the bills so much he retired at half time

    And Denver win with a late late field goal (not a given, with how kickers went today)

    San Francisco get on the board with a win over Detroit.

    Meanwhile Kansas City QB Patrick Mahomie is on fire with 6 TDs against Pittsburgh. He already has 10 TDs on the season....and it's just his second career start.

    Do you blame him? That team is worse than the Browns and no one should be worse than the Browns.

    Not at all. Being a defensive back for a team that bad would absolutely suck. If it's your last year, you would think "why?"

    My favourite play of the weekend was in a college game between North Texas and Arkansas:

    @sneakdefreak that's pretty funny. I feel like some poor other punt returner is going to pay the price for that later on though

    It's still early in the season of course but it feels like Seattle window as a contender has closed.

    Their offensive line looks as bad as it did last year with Wilson running for his life and the defense isn't what it was.

    Seattle missing the playoffs in the hyper-competitive NFC looks a real possibility.

    Patriots pick up Josh Gordon. Speaks volumes if the WR desperate Pats haven't picked up Dez.

    It is a certainty - Seattle is basically Russell Wilson and nothing else. Oh, and their punter. He's amazing the Yanks with his dropkick skills.

    Cleveland Browns win their first game in 635 days and their reward is drinking Bud Lights. Even when they win they still lose.
