Common theme from opening week (as always) a lot of penalties.Eagles off and running against the Pack - but in Sao Paulo??? Bit warmer than northern Wisconsin, i would guess!
Jalen Hurts had something of a mixed bag. Couple of sacks and interceptions, but some outstanding rushes and passes, with Barkley scoring 3 TDs.
The secondary looked to leave open spaces and miss tackles like they did in the last few games of last season when they went from 10-1 to 11-6 (or 11-7 if you include the wildcard mauling by the Bucs), but the defensive line look good, with LB Zack Baun making a nuisance of himself.
I like Daniels.Jayden Daniels looked promising for Washington. Hopefully he stops the endless QB carousel there.
Same issues on defence though. It's going to take a while to fix that.
Not really a surprise, i'd say.49ers dominated the Jets.
This weekend could be a reality check on where the Vikings are really at for this season. For me it's still a rebuild until they get McCarthy settled at Qb next season.

Was great against the Giants but waiting to see how he reacts to any adversity. 49ers this weekend is a real benchmark test for him.KOC is a great coach for Darnold. Also last year at 49ers with Shanahan was good for him.Darnolds probably as good a back up as you could hope for really though. He’s still a starter at some teams. Think you’ll do ok this season.
Another rough night for Tua. Hopefully okay but he really should consider his long-term health.
Will he be able to remember signing it though?Such a shame for him. He’s tough but what a crazy (stupid) dive which caused it, totally unnecessary, especially when you consider prior concussions. Only slight positive on a personal level for him is at least he signed a massive contract in the off season
Impressive for a rookie to go into Cincinnati and win a slugfest with Burrows. Bigger win than scoreline suggests.Well, what a fabulous Commanders performance. Damned near perfect and Jayden Daniels was outstanding.
Threw for 2 touchdowns. Ran in for 1 himself.
21 out of 23 passes for completions, 254 yards passing and 39 yards of rushing.
Two TD's for Terry McLauren too, so it was an absolutely brilliant win. Been waiting for something like that for some time now.
Bengals now at 0-3. Was anyone expecting that?

that's the beauty of hitting a rookie contract QB. Like the Vikings you're carrying a load of dead money this season but next year we'll both be active in the free agent market.Daniels just looks every inch a franchise QB.
I am not going to get carried away as it’s still a weak roster and only 3 starts. Just looks like he has the tools to do it all.
$35m dead cap but still $25m in cap space this year. Next season that turns into a whopping $121m in cap space.that's the beauty of hitting a rookie contract QB. Like the Vikings you're carrying a load of dead money this season but next year we'll both be active in the free agent market.
Look at Dallas next year they'll be paying just 3 players over 50% of their cap.
The 3rd down TD pass was good but the 50 yarder to set up the 2nd? TD was exceptional. He's got it all ( with the help of good protection too). Thought his progression reads were top draw as well.
We've got about 60m in dead cap this season (Cousins & Hunter). All the key offensive positions (when you include McCarthy) are under contract with good players. We'll have around 80m in cap space next year which willl mainly go on the defense.$35m dead cap but still $25m in cap space this year. Next season that turns into a whopping $121m in cap space.
If Jayden continues playing like that for the rest of the season then out of nowhere Washington becomes a very attractive destination.
I'm assuming old habits will die hard and they'll just blitz a lot.Not NFL but might be of interest

For me that's on Lawrence. Decent protection,good receivers.Their offence wasn't much better. Bears were impressive though.
100% Lawrence was awful. You just can't give a team that many turnovers.For me that's on Lawrence. Decent protection,good receivers.
Bears's defense is strong. Now the run game is going they'll improve. Got really good receiving corps and TE. But still that Jaguars's defense handed them the game on a plate - gave the Bears's confidence by "gifting" TDs having been nullified in the 1st quarter.
That looks a horrible injury for Hutchinson.
Convinced we would lose that. Leading the whole way, but then started to fluff their lines and not progress the ball at all.Jayden Daniels is a miracle worker and I love him unconditionally
The Commies,are they revered these days?The Commies with another big win! Didn't play at our best but yet still did what we had to do. Another tough one next week against the Steelers but think we can get it done.
Going to the home game against the Titans on December the 1st.
Can't wait!
Similar to the Eagles - only managed to beat a 2-7 team by a handful of points! Head to head a week on Friday. If you have a decent passing game, you could do well against a weak Eagles secondary, but Hurts is hitting his stride with Barkley, Brown and Smith on form. Detroit look the team to beat in the NFC at the moment, for my money.The Commies with another big win! Didn't play at our best but yet still did what we had to do. Another tough one next week against the Steelers but think we can get it done.
