What an opener.

Brady seems like he’s somehow got better and Dak is bak.

A close finish and it would have been a Cowboys win if they’d taken their field goals.

Both remind me of that St Louis Rams team. Just keep throwing it regardless.
Must be something about Tampa as visiting kickers don't do well there. Ours had an absolute shocker there last season which cost us a win (with some very dodgy ref calls)
Becoming a bit of a lottery particularly with the way pass interference calls seem to have increased the appeal of just throwing it up. Last season Bucs had something like 27 beneficial pass interference calls - next best was 19.Average around 10 per team. Surprisingly Chiefs only had 4 go their way all season
Every season last few years becoming a more & more offense-based league.

Bucs aren't repeating this year

I didn't think that was pass interference at the end. They were both fighting for the ball and the CB was on his heels and couldn't recover when the receiver just stopped for the ball.

We were never going to win it last year. Mid pack 7-5 and had just got stuffed by the Saints.Then we went on an unbeaten roll. And it wasn’t an easy route through the playoffs either. You can never rule out Brady.

Green Bay basically committed suicide and the Chiefs with a decent OL probably win. it's amazing that they have brought everyone back but other teams have strengthened their weaknesses more

Brady is notorious for starting slow..
We'll be just fine.

Strong start for the Seahawks. Russ 2 passing touchdowns already.

Liquid Gold · Sep 13, 2021

Wow, A Rodg would have had a higher QBR rating if he just threw every ball into the dirt

He’ll be relieved to know that everyone was (or should’ve been) watching Cleveland v KC

I watch it sometimes but when there’s a good game going on I switch over to it, I can’t really get into a game watching redzone

CanadianCCFC · Sep 13, 2021

Pretty sure the rams will beat the bears heavily

Skybluefaz · Sep 13, 2021

Oh wow, just looked at the late scores. Some great drama already. Wish I'd watched that Browns v Chiefs game. What a ding dong. Good to have it back.

Liquid Gold · Sep 13, 2021

Was disappointed with Washington. That defensive front got nowhere near Herbert all day.

I read a lot on twitter going on about them not being able to as he got rid of the ball so quickly but then what's the point in taking a DE at 2 over a QB.

I know we were still on the Haskins train but this franchise picking QBs has ruined them in the last decade.

Terry Gibson's perm · Sep 13, 2021

They said last night that it was the first regular season game that Lawrence had lost after success in high school onwards but it will be a feeling he has to get used to as it will be happening a lot.

tisza · Sep 13, 2021

Vikings pathetic 1st half - zero cohesion due this policy of not playing starters properly for at least part of pre-season games. 4 penalties on 1st drive inc. 3 for false starts!!! 17 penalties all game (Bengals only accepted 11 or 12 of them). 2nd half better until a stupid OT booth call. Cook obviously down from camera angles but for some reason New York wouldn't overturn the refs call which came well after play ended.
Cousins usual mix of good plays, complete panic out of the pocket and complete dross. Been poor in pre-season training apparently. hope it's not a prelude to last year's 1 & 5 start.
Burrow okay, Bengals big investment in defence showed but they could still easily be bottom of AFC North end of season
Other standouts : Stafford for the Rams,
Packers loss,
Bills loss ,
Chiefs going to get run on as that secondary is not good,
Wilson immediately reminds me of rookie Mayfield,
Browns going to be defined by not letting Mayfield sabotage them
Mac Jones could be good,
Lawrence has to learn quickly about speed of NFL secondaries. Got to be big questions about Meyer & rest of Jaguars side.
Not sure I can remember a Division as tough as NFC West. Even Cardinals look legit.

Maybe if he'd spent a bit less time sulking he'd have been more prepared.

What a finish to the 4th quarter. Ravens kick a field goal to go up 3 with 37 seconds left. Raiders make a 55 yard field goal to tie it. Wow

What an overtime, my love for this sport has never been higher

Unbelievable finish, nerves been in tatters for the last half hour. Love Heinicke.

Best sport in the world.

It is indeed.

Such a fabulous, tense game. Heinicke was very good.

Lots of concerns for Washington though I think.

Not enough pressure on Jones and the QB was able to move the ball up the field far too easily. He also managed to scramble and carry it himself on too many occasions.

I expected the Washington defence to be a lot more fearsome. Pass rush only had minimal success.

Great win though. 0-2 could have spelled the end of the season I think. The Bills are next up, who will be clear favourites going into that game.

McLaurin is such a fabulous player isn't he and definitely the go to guy in this offence.

We have said before, this kind of finish is quite the norm in the NFL and rarely happens in football over here. That's what makes it the greatest game in the world.

Who would have thought it would be the offence carrying the defence. They’ve got a lot of work on to sort themselves out as the level they’re playing at isn’t up to scratch.

McLaurin is a spectacular player. I feel sorry for him in Washington though playing with so many different QBs. If he was on a stable team he’d be recognised for the talent he is.

Skybluefaz · Sep 17, 2021

Watched the highlights this morning. Giants must be gutted to lose it on an offside. Fantastic game.

I’ve fallen out of love with football over the last few years. It’s just an oligarch’s plaything at the top level and there is no attempt at a level playing field.

I love Cov and England but genuinely don’t care about the rest.
