[Rook05]

50 minutes to kickoff and no discussion about week 1 yet? I know Drew Dawg and the Pats took a big dump on Thursday, but there's some great games in this week's slate.

And there's that distraction down south. Some chick named Irma?

 

[luckiestman]

A lot of the pre game discussion takes place in the survivor pool thread.

I'm watching Jets/Bills. Redskins/Filthy is my Fox game.

Things to watch: Leo Williams, how much havoc can he cause. He is being mentored by Ronnie Lott (his girlfriend's dad).

The rookies and rest of the rebuilt secondary.

Can Kony Ealy rush the passer?

Can the LBs play at all. This could be a problem unit for the Jets.

On offense, the Jets can't block. Hopefully Josh can get the ball out. He could easily be injured this game.

Prediction: Good Guys 23, Toronto 13

Good lord, Bills-Jets is a disgustingly bad matchup even in Week 1.

Love the onside kick call in Nashville, even though it didn't work.

Local game for me, is CBS making America watch this?

Local for me, too, don't think that's being shown nationally.

Not sure how an NFL fan in NYC doesn't have RedZone or Sunday Ticket.

Stafford being Stafford

 

[ElcaballitoMVP]

Stafford with a pick 6 in Detroit, ARI up 7-0

 

[Mystic Merlin]

lmfao

Charles Clay lets a TD go through his hands at the goal line, picked by NY., Jets player, on his way to a pick 6, trips over his own player, then seemingly fumbles it back to Buffalo trying to get up.

I have no idea what is happening.

 

[mauf]

Lamar Jackson might be the first prospect since Andrew Luck who's worth tanking for. Dude looks like Michael Vick with better field vision and pocket presence, minus the character problems.

In other words, Jets fans should be unhappy with what just transpired.

 

[DanoooME]

Jets would have had a 105 yard pick 6 if it wasn't for the Jets' accidentally knocking down his own man.

Edit: And it was the Buffalo OL shoving a Jet into the interceptor.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

And he fumbled

That was not down by contact

[cshea]

His knee was down when the Bills guy hit him

 

[luckiestman]

He's down when he is tackled. No penalty but Jets ball should be the call

 

[johnmd20]

That was decidedly NOT down by contact.

Plus, Wentz just made a pretty incredible play.

They'd have to establish that the Jets DB didn't have control of the ball when he was kneeling, because he's otherwise down the minute the Bills player touches him.

 

[mauf]

Among last-place teams a year ago, the Eagles have the best chance to make some noise. Wentz has a chance to be special.

And if they get a consistent pass rush, they could be deadly on defense.

 

[natpastime162]

Carson Wentz gave me a heart attack eluding the rush, only find a wide open Agholor for the TD.

 

[DanoooME]

Just showed JJ Watt during introductions. That guy deserves every cheer he gets. He should never buy a beer in Houston again. Hell, he shouldn't buy a beer in the whole country ever again.

And he'll only get an honorable mention when SI picks Durant for Sportsman of the Year

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Allen Robinson questionable to return with a knee injury. No idea of the extent, other than that.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Woodhead hamstring. Mariota runs it in from about 10 yards out. Tie game versus Oakland, assuming they make the XP. That's going to be a good game.

My son owns an Allen Robinson shirt. He's bummed.

 

[Vandalman]

I wonder why the Redskins' field looks like crap already. It's only week one.

Because Daniel Snyder is a stupid, cheap sonofabitch? Just a guess.

Dat backwards pass.

Luckily for the Eagles, Wentz made a head's up play and ran over and touched the guy down, because I think Smith was about to let him get up, and head to the end zone.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Allen Robinson officially out for the game.

 

[johnmd20]

Woodhead is made out of glass now.

Browns tie Pitt

 

[mauf]

Steelers aren't good. 9-7 might be good enough to win that division, but you won't see them in the AFCCG again.

 

[fineyoungarm]

Wrong universe

 

[soxhop411]

Redskins. How I missed you.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Already feeling better about the Pats' performance the other night.

 

[Soxy]

Maybe this is why the Raiders have constantly targeted Crabtree in the redzone over Cooper. Went to Cooper three straight times inside the five-yard line, he couldn't pull in any of them. You need to be able to compete for the ball, and win, when in the redzone.

 

[bosockboy]

Lynch is 100% Beast Mode. He hasn't lost anything.
