NFL Week 1

[Leonardfan]

Great call with Jacksonville Leonardfan.
I had a 50/50 unpredictable game. Someone like Billy Walters(who is out of federal prison) was moving the betting line to such an extent that taking Jacksonville paid 4.261 at one point, crazy.

I wish I had some valuable info as to why I like the Jags but it's really just what Minshew did last year and the big time culture change they are implementing. The Jags during the Bortles era had terrible WRs, no TEs and brought in a very mouthy, loud lot bunch on the defensive side of the ball that ended up destroying the team. Gotta give Marrone and the ownership credit for trying to clean up the culture. I feel Minshew has the "it" factor - quickly becoming my favorite NFL player and character.

Also Brady's arm appears to look very good, Rodgers was flicking the ball from all different angles - looked great, Rivers hasn't lost his fastball. I am looking forward to Big Ben's return tomorrow night.

 

[Extra Point]

Josh Allen had a great day today! A 71.7 completion percentage, 2 passing TDs, and a 104.6 QB rating. And 57 yards rushing with a TD.

If he keeps it up he could be in the running for league MVP.

 

[Extra Point]

Apparently Bucs WR Mike Evans didn't finish a route, so when the ball arrived he wasn't there, causing an interception.

Hey, if you're black and not the primary receiver you don't have to run out your routes. It's black privilege.

 

[Don Wassall]

Jeff heath did play. Heard he played decent just no stats.

I’ll double check on that, just going off tweets.

I read that Erik Harris was promoted over Heath, if so that would explain his goose egg.

Yeah the depth chart they released had Harris and Abrams as the starters with Leavitt and Heath as their backups.

 

[Leonardfan]

Burrow just got hit in the backfield - he did not have the ball. Both the running back Mixon and Burrow were hit. Why aren't teams doing this to the "athletic" qbs ? Put a helmet on the QB and the ball carrier. Unless it is a penalty which in this case was completely missed by the officials.

 

[La France Blanche]

For the race whose lives Don't Matter, Our Guys sure have been making a lot of plays today.

 

[icsept]

Brady’s sumo o-line may be his downfall.

 

[Red Raider]

Trey Hendrickson with the sack on Brady. He has the potential to take the next step he needs to this year. I could see him as a regular 7+ sack guy if given the chance.

Agreed if he stays healthy!

 

[TwentyTwo]

Blocked FG by Saints 6'-8" Margus Hunt!

Taysom Hill 13 yard gain ; a threat to take it to the house on any given run!

Proud of Burrow & 23 yard TD Run ...missed it live! I see other QB's get hit from time to time last season...will keep an eye

Hate to see Drue Tranquil injury

Is there a better 1-2 @ TE than Ertz & Goedert? Great grab by Andrews!

 

[Bucky]

Mount Hunt doing what he does best blocking kicks!

 

[Extra Point]

Tennessee's Derrick Henry ran for a 99 yard touchdown. One of the players he ran through was linebacker Myles Jack. Jack was a heavily hyped player in the 2016 draft. Jack has been mediocre, at best, his entire career. Last year PFF gave him a 45.9 grade, which is pretty bad.

That didn't stop the stupid Jaguars from giving him a 14 million plus contract. Unbelievable.

 

[Don Wassall]

George Kittle suffered a knee injury, hopefully it isn't serious. . .

 

[Extra Point]

Baker Mayfield had a bad game today. I was high on Mayfield when he came out in the 2018 draft and he had a good rookie season. But since then ... not so good.

I'm wondering about his future...

He forces the ball to Beckham way too much. If they deployed more two TE sets and ran the ball more I think you would see improvement.

Yeah, having to force the ball to a me first prima donna isn't helping him.

Yea they brought in Hooper for a reason and Bryant was supposedly a the best player in training camp. TEs are a QBs friend.

 

[Leonardfan]

Brady not looking to good right now...

 

[icsept]

Todd Bowles’ coal defense needs to step up.

I said he sucked from day 1, same thing about the undersized Syrian Whigger. You boys on here came to my place with pitchforks.

Joe Burrow on the other hand is the real deal. Him, Josh Allen, and Lawrence are the future.

I'll probably regret asking, but who is the "Syrian Whigger"?

 

[Don Wassall]

Was looking forward to them but the three afternoon games so far have been as exciting as watching paint dry.

 

[icsept]

The “Syrian Whigger”??

 

[Leonardfan]

Midget Murray the beneficiary of a bad roughing call. Again wondering why the Chargers were not called for that on Burrow earlier.
