Looking forward to Darnold-CMC in the early game. Also want the Bills to defeat Pittsburgh - I believe both Phillips and Zimmer will be in on the defensive line rotation.

Let's hope Jared Goff has a nice revenge tour through the NFL too!

Yeah Wolfe is injured, hasn't practiced the past 3 weeks.

The same tear jerking tribute regarding 9/11 and how divided the country is shown on every game in an attempt to promote unity, but astutely not showing the mandatory singing of the Black National Anthem at every game, one of the most divisive things the NFL could do.

Eagles running a predictable offense yet the Falcons seem to be taken by surprise.

CMac looking good early. 2 carries 15 yards and 1 reception for 11 yards. Another long reception called back for a holding penalty.

Jimmy G. doing the hard work in the trenches to get his team down the field.

And they laughably pan the camera at Nick Bosa. I'll take Goff to Hock all day!

I don't think even the DWFs are going to fall for that one.

Darnold throws a perfect pass - dropped by the WR. CMAC converts on third down on another crip pass by Darnold.

Yep. Courtesy of DJ Moore. That's two dropped passes by Carolina. I see their WR haven't improved. Well, at least CMac bails them them out with a nice reception across the middle.

I understand that it's important to get paid well for your abilities in the NFL, but I'm always disappointed when our promising guys sign free agent deals with terrible teams.

I think of Schobert in Jacksonville (thankfully since traded), but also I see Alex Anzalone in Detroit and Trey Hendrickson in Cincinnati. Unfortunate that they'll be on defenses that are either not very good, or not helped by inept offenses.

I agree but who knows what other teams even showed interest in them during free agency. Anzalone got a one year deal with Detroit. At least Hendrickson got paid and hopefully the Bengals will be an ascending young team.

Wentz also looks good for Indy! With a nice TD throw in a tight window - his arm looks strong as ever.
