I'm interested to see how Nick Foles does against Seattle.

I think Foles is a very good quarterback but he's not surrounded by much offensive talent on the Rams.

The Jets-Cleveland game should be interesting. I actually will watch it since it's on locally because of Hartline and Decker and Fitzpatrick it's actually watchable. I hope he plays well so Smiff doesn't get his job back but with Todd Bowles who knows.

I agree, Foles can be great, but he's going to have to do it by himself this year. RBs always injured, the line is atrocious, the receiving corps is pretty much made up of draft busts over the last few years, and they have probably have the worst starting TE in the league...

Hopefully Long ad JL can put Wilson in the dirt today, otherwise he and Graham are going to have a field day against the Ram safeties...

Gerhart inactive because of an abdominal strain. Unfortunately he remains injury prone.

The Rams have in recent games, given Seattle a hard time with qb's who weren't as good as Foles. I think Bradford had been hurt whenever Seattle played them. Seattle is hurting. They don't have their starting center from last year and their starting strong safety. I look for Foles to take advantage of that today and be aggressive through the air. They are down to their 3rd string Running Back so they will have to win it through the air. I too hope Long and Laurinaitis stomp the dungbeetle today.

The Rams had Danny Amendola but let him go, despite the fact that he led the NFL in all purpose yardage one year.

Amendola played a significant role in the Patriots high octane, Super Bowl winning offense but he wasn't good enough for the offensive powerhouse Rams. (sarcasm)

Amendola is much better than any receiver the Rams currently have.

Cleveland passing attack will be without Bowe. If McCown is smart he will look for Hartline more often in today's game.

You're right. Amendola was the bright spot for the Rams in recent years, but injuries always got in the way. Since joining NE I don't think he has had a real significant injury.

Kelce 42 yard touchtown from Smith again! Could be a machine this year. He has the build, athleticism and speed. With Gronk Kelce and Olsen this year all firing its going to be fun!!

Packers unwatchable without Jordy. All-black receiving targets, with James Jones starting today over Janis. If this is how the season goes, I couldn't care less about this team.

Travis Kelce with 2 TDs already. Only us at CF knew he'd be a superstar several years ago. Hopefully Fat Bastard (Reid) actually plays him like a starter this season.

Buck and Troy Aikman heaping praise on Matthews bringing down Matt Forte from the opposite side of the field chasing him down, he has to be one the most athletic guys in football.

Colts defense looks awful. They are making idle arm look better than he really is.

Yea - a few games in and once they have enough tape he will be neutralized. Ive seen it so many times before.

The halftime show's caste clown, Boomer Esiason, was talking him up. He now realizes why Rex picked him. Aside from a long pass to Harvin and a slant to Clay, real mediocre.
