Who would have thought, the Ravens light up the scoreboard.
Instead of something interesting, I got to see the Mighty Browns battle the equally inept Steelers into a well deserved tie.

In other news, the Giants have chosen to lull the rest of the league into a false sense of security before they assume their rightful place on top of the heap (he says).

Holy Crap! The collapse of the Chicago Bears last night was historic. I had to stay up to watch. #SAD!

5th straight year for the Saints to lose the opener, yet again from the horrible play of the Defense.

Nonetheless, Go Saints!

Rodgers earned that big contract last night, any Packer fan has to be worried about the MRI today, he didn't look at all healthy. He did benefit from a total breakdown in the Bears defense, but it didn't take anything away from his courageous performance.

In in other news, the World Champion Philadelphia Eagles open the season at 1-0!

Bragging is so gauche. Your Eagles have played in exactly half as many Super Bowls as cross state rival Steelers have actually won. Eagles are 1-2 overall while Steelers are 6-2. Even my lowly Broncos have been to 8 SBs and won 3.

Come back when you have something impressive to claim. Cheering and boasting immediately after a win is expected and honored but crowing about prowess on the basis of a 1-3 record is silly. Twelve other teams are 1-0 after week 1 victories and 2 others are likely to be joining them tonight. It's important to keep context in mind.

New England and Denver have both lost 5 Super Bowls .... yet between them they have won 8. Let's just focus on week 2 if our team has already played week one.

I didn' watch any games, but I was encouraged when I visited NFL.com and there was no noticable politics on the page! Hopefully they've learned something.

I hope Rodgers and Mariota will be back soon.

Miami team still kneeling. ESPN will not televise the Anthem tonight so as a Jet fan I'll read the paper instead. Play football please and nothing else.

Go Broncos! We have a defense..... Offense needs some work with the play book but 1-0. (Oh and Go Rockies as well)

Night game with packers/bears was best of the day. I was expecting a packer blowout, but it took a great comeback for the pack to win.

Bears did fold, but they looked good. Seems like they should be competitive this year.

Looking forward to watching Rams/Raiders game tonight.

Giants and Bills didn't set the world on fire but the Jets gave NY something to cheer about.

In case you haven't noticed I'm also a Steeler fan, lived there for 35 years including all the Super Bowls in the 70's. Maybe you ought to take your hate for the Eagles and shove it where the sun don't shine. There have been about a dozen guys touting their teams on this page and you only call me out? For one line? I don't know who pissed in your cherrios today, but that attitude is neither appreciated nor warranted.

Watching Saquan Barkley Sunday was like watching him at Penn State in having to run behind mediocre offensive lines for little or no gain but then POW

His side cuts are awesome

Any regrets your Giants didn't take Darnold in the draft instead of Barkley?

Raiders looked good for a half, or maybe it was just the Rams were rusty since anyone who actually plays didn't play in the preseason.

2nd half was more what I was expecting all along. Game was late in the east coast, so guessing a lot of you didn't see the 2nd half.

I also don't know what happened to Derek Carr in the 2nd half, he really didn't look good. A couple awful passes for interceptions, and gave up on plays way early.
Of course that's easy for me to say, I didn't to face Donald and Suh and the others.

Tommy2Tone,
You're asking the wrong guy.
I am a VERY casual fan and with an antenna I usually end up watching teams I don't have much of an interest in.
The price is right, though!

Packers-Vikings, what a great game to watch, at least the 4th quarter and OT... unless of course you are a Packers or a Vikings fan. Jeez, 0-3 missed FG's

JerryM · « **Reply #19 on:** 16 Sep 2018, 09:59 pm »

The surprising Team (to me), with only two games in, are the Bucs.
