McDermotts an asshole. Bowles sat on the ball and this dbag is onsides kicking it getting his own guys hurt down 20 with 4 to go
With that win last night, the last-place Jets now have a better winning percentage than such teams as Denver, Houston, Cincy, Chargers, Redskins, Detroit, and the Cards. Football is weird this year, and the AFC East is a good conference (every team is at least .500 in their games outside of the division).
The Raiders, who went 12-4 and started this season 2-0, are in 14th place in the AFC.
The AFC East has by far the best record in football at 6 games over .500. Next best is the NFC South at 3 over, the NFC North at 2 over, then the NFC East at 1 over.
Would have been a great idea to have a London game today. Kid got up at 5:30 and I was thankful it wasn’t 4:30 as I was expecting.
Football starts in five minutes if you'll show yourself to enjoy the awesomeness of the EPL. You'll actually get two of the best of the season taking you from 9:15 right up to NFL kickoff.
Football games today ranked from most interesting to least:
1. ATL-CAR, 1pm ET
2. KC-DAL, 4:25pm
3. BAL-TEN, 1pm - hate-watching Baltimore won't get any better
4. WSH-SEA, 4pm
5. Chelsea-Manchester United, 11:30am
6. CIN-JAX, 1pm
7. IND-HOU, 1pm - the injury bowl
8. Arsenal-Manchester City, 9:15am (City predictably up 1-0 already)
9. OAK-MIA, 8:30pm - dueling falls from ambition
10. DEN-PHI, 1pm - it won't even be good hate-watchin'
11. TB-NO, 1pm - give me a reason to care
12. LAR-NYG, 1pm - will tell us exactly nothing
13. ARI-SF, 4pm - not a lot of talk about Arians for Coach of the Year anymore

I think KC-Dal ranks #1 mainly because I am not a believer in Carolina being a legit contender. And Atlanta may not be either.
Lol, HOU-IND over DEN-PHI?
I'll take Wentz v. DEN D and the return of the Brockdragon over a Tom Savage checkdown party.

The Cowboys will beat the Chiefs today at home. KC gets back Hali but they are a pretty terrible defense. They are 28th against the run giving up 4.9 YPC and 131 YPG. Their passing defense is not much better. Everyone thinks the Patriots passing defense is historically bad. Well, the Chiefs have only allowed 275 less yards in the air than the Patriots which is good for 29th and only 2 less passing TDs(14 to Pats 16).
Yeah, I'm thin at Flex this week and picked up Ivory instead of Yeldon, who was also picked up after I snagged Ivory. That was a mistake. I regret it.
Would you still say this when the score is 40-3?
I watched Trevor Siemian turn the KC game into his personal NFL fantasy camp as he made game-management errors (clock, down-and-distance, etc), decision-making errors (a cover-your-eyes INT among others), and of course run-of-the-mill poor throws, for a good half a game. Down 16, the rest of his team was giving him a chance (you might give Tom Brady 50% odds of taking it to OT), and he just shat all over that chance.
If the 2017 Eagles were playing the 2014 Broncos, it'd be must-watch feature-game stuff. The broncos you have in mind no longer exist.
The Giants are an embarrassment. 1 minute into the game they have to call timeout to avoid a delay of game. Must not have known how to react to a first down in their first drive of the game. There we go, offside Giants 90 seconds into the game.
F'n horrid. And now a fumble recovery by the Rams.
In case anyone is wondering, I'm down on one knee protesting the suck that is the NY Giants.

Unequivocally. He looks incredible this year. Dak, Wentz, and Watson(
) were the three. It's two, for now.
Said the best in the league got burned (Talib). Talib doesn’t look like best of anything any more.
Ya, weird comment. Talib is over the hill. As someone said earlier in the thread, this isn't the 2014 Broncos
Ray Rice’s conversion on 3rd and 28 against San Diego was really big, but maybe more Rice’s great effort than bad D.
Denver is getting no pressure on Wentz and as I type that, they get some.
How was that not Intentional grounding?
