Quite an opening weekend
The Chiefs, Bengals and Bills all lose
Giants and Steelers got absolutely torched
The Eagles made hard work of the Patriots.
The fucking Broncos lost to the Raiders. -
Rodgers probably done for the year with an Achilles tear. That might also be the end of his career - long road back for a 40 year old.
Did Joe Namath sell the Jets soul to the devil for SBIII? I think this is the 4th time they've lost their starting QB for the season in the first game or preseason in the last 25 years. They also had favre tear a bicep and try to play through when they were 8-3.

You were right to be sceptical of Wilson & Payton combo.
Good news is it's supposedly a stacked QB class in this upcoming Draft.

The Browns really can't have nice things.
Bears. Browns. Jets. It's always the same poor sides.

Chubb done for the season with a brutal knee injury.
Shame, he was probably the best rusher in the league. The Browns really can't have nice things.
thank god they didn't show it.
They showed it on the big screen, and you could hear the crowd 'oooh'ing. It was brutal. I don't want that image in my head.
Other than that (poor Chubb), fun season! NFL is great entertainment at the moment, I'm really enjoying Redzone
-
So, yeah, can the NFL season just finish already?
-
seriously, that stats out of that debacle are mind blowing
70 points
726 yards of offense (350 rushing 376 passing)
30 1st downs
10 touch downs
6 of 6 in the redzoneNo sacks. 1 punt
Payton a disaster so far, Vance Joseph as DC even more so. We can't even blame Russ, he's doing okay.
-
@mariner4life Sean Payton is following the Eddie Jones path so far. All talk.
-
Did Denver just have 70 put on them? wow
-
fuck off
-
you too

After "Quarterbacks" it was supposed to be her turn!

Basically a quarter of the way through the season, and it feels like there are not many good teams.
The Niners are fucking flying, and will never haver a better chance than this year. CMC is ridiculous. They are putting up 30 points a week, the defense is still excellent.
The Eagles are the only other unbeaten side, but haven't been anywhere near as convincing.
Below them are a bunch of good but not great 3-1 teams.
And like a quarter of the Conference straight up stinkOn the other side the Chiefs are 3-1 but aren't exactly on fire. Mahomes is Mahomes but their receiver class is pretty average. The Ravens and Bills are a scratchy 3-1 as well, and it drops away to some pretty ordinary sides after that
The Bengals are 1-3 and looking fucking terrible. And again, a good 25-30% of the teams in the Conference stink.We seem to be at a tipping point. QB play was everything, offence was the best form of defense, and it was all about scoring. Coaches worked that out, and now defenses have caught up. Corners get better every year, and suddenly down field is not as open. And D-lines have got better and better, meaning it's not just pressure from elite edge rushers, pressure is coming from everywhere. And the QBs are paying the price.
Daniel Jones is in the gun for it at the moment. His o-line is wet paper bag weak, he has 2-4 guys in his face every single play. And because he is not Brady or Mahomes, he gets sacked. A lot. Or fumbles. Now, some of that is absolutely on him, he's got a deer-in-the-headlights look on his face and he's freezing. But shit, when you are getting rushed over and over and over, the fuck is he supposed to do? I watched yesterday, and he's looking downfield and nothing is open, then he's got to get rid of it because the protection has collapsed.
But Giants fans are basically saying he needs to get fired. For who? Who exactly is going to do a better job?All these QBs that got paid this offseason might be thanking their lucky stars, because if defense and the run game come back, economics might change again.
