Some amazing results to start the season and the NFL and broadcasters will be pretty pleased. Eight games decided by 6 points or less.
@nzzp I do love a good US anthem rendition at their sporting events.

@ACT-Crusader Bucs look classic Tom Brady. Ruthlessly efficient.
-
oh look, the Broncos top side doesn't play a snap in preseason, turns up Week 1 and look rusty as fuck. 3 or 4 red zone entries for nothing from the Broncos.
Lose by a point to a gutsy but limited Seahawks. Great redzone D.

Two turnovers from a yard out, and then the long FG miss. Felt like they should have tried to get closer - second longest FG in history is a big call right?

from memory it was the 4th and pretty long still right? didn't miss by much (distance was fine). Big call either way.

it really was a big call. No winners - and looked good off the boot.
That said, the stats said 2/31 is the success rate at that distance...

Denver should have won by 20. Playcalling and coaching cost them the game.
Plenty to like if you are a Broncos fan - Sutton and Jeudy look great, Russ was cooking, backfield was firing. They were all over the Seahawks D.
And yet they lost. Can't win the Superbowl with that sort of playcalling.

the fucking time to get plays set was a huge issue as well. Couple of "delay of games" and so many hurried plays as the clock hit the two zeros
Seattle had a sort of soak defense that gave up a shit tone of yards right up to the red zone. Red zone offence was pretty fucking ordinary (couple of good defensive plays admittedly).

week 1 madness bleeds in to week 2
The Giants won again!
The Patriots won
Jacksonville not only win but blank a side
The fucking Jets win. And by scoring 2 touchdowns inside the last 2 minutes.
Detroit wins
It's madness -
@mariner4life The Dolphins scored 28 points in the 4th quarter to win by 4 points with Tua throwing 6 TDs!

the season needs to sober up
actually if you are a Denver fan it's very fucking sobering. We cannot score in a brothel with a fist full of hundreds

Browns and Ravens competing to see who has the biggest choke. Last a team came back from a 13 point deficit was in 2001. First Jets win in September since 2018.
Ravens gave up so many points but the Browns had:
Kareem Hunt run out of bounds just before the two minute warning (Chubb scored on the next play so not a huge difference maker)
Chubb scoring the TD when taking a knee would have allowed the browns to wind down the clock then kick a field goal (kind of unusual to do that but media love calling that stuff out)
Missed PAT to keep the lead at 13
Conceded a successful onside kick
Threw a pick when driving to get into field goal range -
lol and now the Raiders give up 23 2nd half points, while scoring 3, to lose in overtime.
At least Denver got home on the back of 1 good drive.

Green Bay rolling on the ground now.

Niners' Lance breaks ankle, will undergo surgery
Trey Lance will have season-ending ankle surgery Monday, according to coach Kyle Shanahan, after suffering the injury early in Sunday's win against the Seahawks.
Talk about an inspired move keeping Jimmy G on the roster

the drums are beating in Denver for an absolutely unheard of coach firing. No one gets fired inside the season of their first year.
But i have seen Hackett's first 2 weeks now described as the WORST career start ever. And it's hard to disagree.
The play calling. The decision making. the complete lack of preparedness. The game management. there is nothing there. And that's 100% on the HC. He's in real trouble already.

He won't get as much time for learnings as some lucky coaches

@mariner4life The Broncos schedule gets really brutal at the end of the season - in the final 5 weeks they play the Chiefs (twice) as well as Chargers and Rams.
