Great start for Josh Allen and but the bills offense did their level best to choke in that 2nd quarter with turnovers. The defense looks solid with Von miller and others making some really good plays. The rams have been god awful today and were unable to make much of the bills to's.

NFC looks very open this year without any clear favourites whilst the AFC is stacked with multiple SB threats like Bills, Chiefs and Chargers. Loved the way the other commentator owned collinsworth.

Was quite surprised to see about 7/8 of the NBC people predicting a Rams win - havent caught the game yet, but sounds like Bills have started well (outside of their RBs, but they're rarely great!

the bookies got that one right then. though I reckon the scoreline is unexpected

Is the Bill defense that good or do the Rams have issues on offense? Apart from a couple of tight end plays, it felt that the plan was to lean heavily on Cupp being unplayable and they had issues on the OL.

Rams looked fucking awful. O-Line looked to be still hungover from winning the Super Bowl and Stafford did nothing to alleviate questions about his elbow.

The Commentators mentioned how they miss Beckham and no other receiver seemed able to step up and take the pressure off Kupp by drawing safeties out.

A very impressive win in the end, I feared the Bills may have blown their chances when the Rams tied it just before the half, but they came out much the same and without the turnovers.

I wouldn't get too carried away though as it's only week 1, and plenty of teams drop games they never would later in the season as their form picks.

Bills defense wont be a liability for Josh Allen and co. I dont think they are great but this defense is capable of making plays. They were able to get to Stafford with a 3 man pass rush. The rams were extremely poor in execution, stafford missed some easy throws and the offensive line did not offer much.

Rams have one of the toughest closing schedules playing raiders ,packers, chargers and broncos. They cant afford to lose early ground.

Good bit of business by the Raiders, extending TE Darren Waller.

Given the lack of actual football this weekend, I'm looking forward to this even more than usual! I've subscribed to NFL Game Pass this year so I can watch mighty Joe drag us to a second Super Bowl in succession

... but as a Bengals fan of 35 years I know that a good season is usually followed by 10 years of shite before the next decent season. So I won't get my hopes up too much.

mildly interested to see if Trey Lance and the 49ers are up to something or not. Plus, none of the early games caught my eye.

Saints and Bengals have been particularly shite so far.

Ray K · « **Reply #65106 on:** September 11, 2022, 07:36:43 pm »

@robertmays
The Bears just got a 15-yard penalty for the punter bringing a towel on the field to sop up a puddle where they were trying to kick a field goal.

Knocked them out of field goal range, and they had to punt.

There’s some deeper meaning in there somewhere.

First Ravens FG: off a Flacco pick
Second Ravens TD: off a shanked punt
Third Ravens TD: Jets miss a fumble recovery and Lamar hits Bateman for a easy long TD the next play

Same old worthless Jets team playing loser football.

Ravens had like 100 yards of offense at half, and it's a 3-TD game in the third. Fuck off.

TipTopKop · « **Reply #65109 on:** September 11, 2022, 08:24:06 pm »

Yes, Jets are definitely crumbling.

I guess generally speaking, with pre-season being meaningless, in many ways week 1 is the 'proper' pre-season where the team plays together a whole game for the 1st time, tacking is proper and so on.

Niners have been disappointing too.

dalarr · « **Reply #65110 on:** September 11, 2022, 08:46:45 pm »

Bengals going for the win here. Should be a decent finish to this game.

TJ Watt has been unbelievable so far. What a player.

Ray K · « **Reply #65111 on:** September 11, 2022, 08:55:56 pm »

Oh Bengals. If they reviewed that catch it would have been a TD, instead they were stopped on 4th and goal. Why didn't they review it??

skipper757 · « **Reply #65112 on:** September 11, 2022, 08:58:18 pm »

Wooo!!! Just picked off Lamar.

Outgained the Ravens yardage-wise 351 to 276. 21 first downs to 13 first downs.

Checks score. Huh, turns out you have to score more points to win games. Who knew?
