Wow from Cade York!

They got a bit of shit for drafting a kicker I think but wow…!

[rafathegaffa83]

Colts and Bengals manage to fuck up getting themselves out of the shitty situations they put themselves in

[voodoo ray]

and now one hits the post. love it.

[ShrewKop]

Kin hell!

[MadErik]

Doink!

[Ray K]

Doink!

Loudest doink I ever heard too. A real BOOOM on it.

[rafathegaffa83]

Houston have set their stall early. Dreadful result for Indy

They must mic them up!

[Linudden]

The NFL situation is salvaged for me right now. Also, no rust from Mahomes he's just sensational.

[red mongoose]

Vile fucking result. Fuck off, Steelers.

[voodoo ray]

Steelers O must be fucking awful if they've forced 5 turnovers and needed to scrape a win in OT.

both super bowl teams lose their week 1 openers.

pity the browns won

[Linudden]

Steelers D with a decent O would be the AFC favourite.

Watt is going to probably be out something like 12-16 weeks if that pec is torn.

Oh really? Then that's a statement well dated.

I asked someone who is more knowledgeable than myself, and that's what he told me. He said that his (Watt's) brother came back in half the time "because he's a freak."

[voodoo ray]

that's a lot of peoples' DPOY money up the shitter then.

McPherson getting the Green Bay game flashbacks.  Money in the playoffs last year though.

Meanwhile, not to overreact, but uh.... Pats, you ok?

[Linudden]

The way the Rams played in the opener, Aaron Donald might not be the man to beat either in that category this season.

Arizona looking like a house of Cards (hehe) very early this term

if any other team decided to totally change their system with a 2nd year QB and no OC in sight everyone would be calling them fucking crazy. grumpy bill does get some allowances because of his record but it's........odd.

If the 49ers lose next week to Seattle, surely a few veterans will be knocking on Shanahan's door pushing for Jimmy G to take over as starter.

it depends on how they lose I guess, but that is the risk of keeping him around.

[Linudden]

A limping (!) Butker just hit a 54-yarder dead centre to close out the half. Wow. He and Tucker are just something else.

[anandg_lfc]

Herbert is winning the mvp this season. Chargers have a deep squad on both offense and defense, going to be a serious contender this season.

Raiders defense has been pretty decent but herbert is just playing at a different level. The AFC west is something else this season, all the games are going to be super fun.

At the risk of stating the obvious, he is very good.

And he plays for the chargers too meaning that as a neutral you can watch him be great knowing that his team could still fuck it all up.

[red mongoose]

Chargers don't Spurs it for once. The world is a better place when they are good.

[Ray K]

Titans might have won that if their kicker wasn't the size of a literal bullock.

[skipper757]

Ha, Bullock missed a FG in OT last year against the Jets.  Randy just wants to make New Yorkers feel better.  What a guy.

[rafathegaffa83]

Between the Colts, 49ers and Titans, many a Survivor Pool has been decimated on Week 1

[voodoo ray]

Really fun first week again. Love the call by daboll to go for it and thought it made a lot of sense.

[TipTopKop]

Thursday night game (Chiefs v Chargers) should be a very good one. One of these will likely win the division, as many projections had it.

Though the Raiders have clearly improved on offense, it is also painfully clear they will only go so far with Carr at QB. He'll never break through     ...and it is what it is. Kirk Cousins of the AFC I used to say, and I'm afraid nothing today changes that perception for me.

Surprised (Good/Bad) with: Niners, Packers, Bengals, Rams, Giants, Vikings.

Same as expected: Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Raiders, Jets, Lions, Jaguars.

Only week 1 though, so let's see...

[rafathegaffa83]

Cowboys look absolute trash. Their defence (and Parsons in particular) is the only reason they weren't blown out in the first half

It will be interesting to see how raiders and carr perform against other teams who dont have the same elite pass rush.

It still amazes me that they get so much coverage. Cowboys play in the worst division and have been consistently poor for almost two decades.

An owner who has treated the team like a reality tv show and their fan base still loves him. I hope they have more crushing losses and stephen a smith taking the piss out of their fans is always fun to watch.

Can't wait for Skip Bayless take [he'll be raging ] on the Cowboys dreadful performance later, would have been over at half time if it wasn't for the Cowboys defence.

Yep, second* worst day in the Cowboys calendar every season: The morning after a hard dose of reality.

Horriffic performance by the offense. FG on the opening drive and not a single point after that. DPOY is going to be Parsons because the offense is not going to be on the field often to take away his playing time, he'll be padding stats all year.

Game 1, played terrible before Dak went off so it's not on his injury. Lost McGovern, Basham, Kearse and, of course, Dak, all for multiple weeks.



*The worst being the latest ignominious 1-and-done playoff farce.

Lool, that's if the Cowboys are lucky to make the playoffs this season.

Prescott out for 6 to 8 weeks, needs surgery in his injured thumb, Cowboys bye week is in week 9, but could well be 0-8 going into the bye week, with those players missing, & the schedule is tougher too.

I'd love to pull out lots of reasons why 0-8 is just you joking but there's actually a real chance with will happen with our O-line and Cooper Rush under center.

[voodoo ray]

"cooper rush" is a very cowboys QB name.
