Big Ben injured, but his sub, 24 year old Rudolph is keeping them in the game, after starting with an INT. 2 point game.

[frag]

What in the hell is Cousins doing there? Is he pissed because the running backs are hogging the limelight?

[voodoo ray]

some big balls around by coaches today. some working, some being made to look like idiots

Exhibit A: Jacksonville going for a 2 point conversion to avoid OT, rather than the PAT

[voodoo ray]

good hands seem to run in the brown family. hopefully lunacy doesn't

[Trev20]

Miami are an embrassment.

Patriots will win this ballgame 51-3.

Not far off 

[elsewhere]

giving away 102 pts in 2 games and scoring only 1 TD, Dolphins for you

[ALPH1217]

Looks like Miami just might be the first team in the history of the league to 'mail it in' before the season even started. Poor Rosen taking a back seat to that stiff Fitzpatrick.

Patrick Mahomes is unreal.

[Statto Red]

Officials in the Saints game, Saints should have a turnover for a TD but officials called incomplete, only to overturn it to fumble.

[Something Worse]

Listening to Joe Buck you'd think the Saints were the only team to ever have bad calls.

[classycarra]

That Oakland red zone interception I think I could even have done that

[Buck Pete]

Couldn’t believe coach called that.

Would have paid dividends too if Fournette had tried harder to get the actual ball over the line rather then trying harder not to fumble it.

[Statto Red]

Lol all the Chiefs points came in the 2nd quarter.

[classycarra]

That Broncos punt! Their kicker is one lucky bastard

[Statto Red]

Lol crazy end in the Bears at Broncos game, Broncos get a TD to make it a one point game, decide to go for it, get called for delay of game, so go for the PAT instead, Broncos miss the PAT, but Bears get called for offside, Broncos go for it & score the 2 point conversion

Now the Bears score a FG with 1 second on the clock- great end to the game

[rafathegaffa83]

Holy shit. What an ending in the Bears-Broncos game. Broncos first loss in a home opener since 2011. First time they've started 0-2 in twenty years

[Statto Red]

Crazy, crazy final minute, one great reason for Red Zone. 

[ALPH1217]

I've seen some amazing endings through the years - this one is right up there.

Interesting opening weeks to the season just for the QBs alone:

- Luck retires
- Darnold (ill) and Foles (injured)
- Roethlisberger and Brees potentially injured (Wentz also left the Phi-Atl game, but came back)
- Cam Newton seemingly unable to throw

And then you've got that crazy quarter from Mahomes, with 4 TDs, with some of the best passing I've ever seen, just ridiculously good.  To go from the mosts points ever in a quarter by a Chiefs team, to the only time that neither side have scored at all in a half in a match featuring the chiefs - bizarre; although I thought it was a harsh call to bring the 70 yarder Mahomes threw for holding given pretty much every snap when Carr was lining up throws his OLine were doing the same and not once got punished.

Adam Schefter@AdamSchefter
Saints' QB Drew Brees is expected to undergo thumb surgery as early as today that would be expected to sideline him approximately 6 weeks, per leagues sources

[voodoo ray]

Cowboys are 20.5 point favourites to beat Miami next week

[rafathegaffa83]

Adam Schefter@AdamSchefter
Ben Roethlisberger underwent an MRI on his right elbow that revealed he will need season-ending surgery this week. He will be placed on IR.

[voodoo ray]

for the first time since about 300AD, the gints may have a new starting QB this weekend.

I'm not counting the weird anomaly a couple of years ago.

[RedG13]

that has to be one of the highest lines ever if not the highest.

pats I think were around 19 yesterday for a road game!!!

NFL Update @MySportsUpdate
Breaking: #Jaguars CB Jalen Ramsey requested a trade after yesterday's loss to Houston, per @AdamSchefter. The current plan is not to move Ramsey, but Jacksonville has spoken to teams.

Players requesting trades all over the place.

The thing that is remarkable about Miami's tanking is that while most rebuilding sides want to keep younger pieces to accelerate the process, Miami seem quite happy to move them on to further the tank

Jets onto there 3rd string QB, back up Trevor Siemian has gone off. injured

They play at New England next week and then have the bye when Darnold will probably return after that. Patriots will destroy them

[skipper757]

If Gardner Minshew can play in the league, so can Luke Falk!

Power of the Washington State QBs!

[Statto Red]

May have new uniforms but same old Jets mind you they've got a drive going with the 3rd string QB & scored an FG.

[Statto Red]

OBJ with 89 yard TD, just after Browns stopped Jets on 4th down, after Jets went for it rather than the FG.

[Statto Red]

Minkah Fitzpatrick traded to the Steelers for a 2020, 1st round pick.

are they moving him to QB?



seems like a good deal for miami to me. steelers are likely to be quite shite now this year so it should be a half decent pick and they never seemed to know what to do with him anyway.

i dont think you want to get into a Raiders benefited from bad reffing battle...that 'late hit' on Mahomes 

One thing we did learn; just lob it up high against the Raiders secondary. Same old shit for 20 years now.
