#Broncos pass-rusher Von Miller suffered a lower leg injury in practice today, per me and MikeGarafolo. The fear is that he’s done for the season. But the MRI will tell all.

Week 1 Predictions (no spread):

HOU 20 @ KC 34 - The Texans will certainly be worse this year, and the Chiefs will have a good amount of fans for their home opener, banner ceremony, etc. Look for the Chiefs to pick right back up where they left off in Februrary.


NYJ 20 @ BUF 17 - Two lower-mid tier teams, but the Jets have the better QB and overall team. Buffalo's 2019 season was a fluke waiting to be exposed all along.

IND 31 @ JAX 10 - A middling team faces arguably the worst team in the NFL in 2020.

MIA 17 @ NE 24 - Belichick gets his (not adequate) revenge for last year's version of this meeting. Aided by special teams and defense more so than Newton.

CLE 13 @ BAL 30 - Better team just wins this time. The Browns should be about 6-10 in 2020.

LAC 17 @ CIN 20 - Joe Burrow won't get fans for his first game, but he'll wow nonetheless, similar to RG3 in New Orleans in 2012. Chargers will be more hapless than a lot of people expect in 2020 due to their lousy QB situation.

LV 35 @ CAR 13 - A colossal mismatch between a good (but not great) team, against a sorry excuse for a team in complete re-build mode, completely devoid of talent.

SEA 30 @ ATL 24 - Two quality NFC teams to watch in 2020. Fans wouldn't have made a difference either way.

PHI 33 @ WAS 16 - Similar to last year's affair, the Washington Whatever's take a surprising early lead, but without the talent to keep up, the Eagles fly and soar past them to the finish line.

CHI 24 @ DET 17 - Better team and defense wins out against the better QB.

GB 20 @ MIN 27 - Again, no fans makes the home/away less of an issue; Green Bay tends to lose the tough road games in the Rodgers era, the Vikings fans are loud, but they won't be there Week 1.

AZ 31 @ SF 34 - A shoot-out between one of the rising young explosive teams of the league and a recently-established stalwart. Home team wins, but low confidence due to lack of fans in California.

TB 30 @ NO 33 - With no fans in attendance, anyone can win. Look for an XFL-style offensive dominated game between 2 of the game's 5 best to every play, in their twilight years.

DAL 26 @ LAR 27 - Dallas dominates and leads most of the game, but a slew of special teams goofs late choke away the game. Greg "Legatron" Zuerlein sinks a sterling 4/5 in his return to LA, but his final miss on the last play of the game, last-ditch drive is the game-loser.


PIT 24 @ NYG 21 - Closer than many expect, but the better team ultimately prevails.

TEN 23 @ DEN 24 - Broncos will be allowing fans, and they are very difficult to beat at home in September due to the altitude + heat combo. What a weird week of weather for Denver. 95 degree Labor Day weekend, snowing and freezing mid-this week, then back to the upper 80s in time for the Week 1 home game. Can it be any more bipolar than this?!?

[DAF86]

Wait, this shit is going on with fans?

Stadiums will be at like 20% capacity.

If it’s an outdoor stadium then it’s pretty low risk, especially when you compare it to other shit people are doing in Murica right now like flying on airplanes or attending Trump rallies.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Wait, this shit is going on with fans?

Chiefs are doing like 40-45% for the home opener (w/banner ceremony, but everyone must wear mask) and then 25% indefinitely until the vaccine, end of COVID etc.

Most outdoor stadiums will have some ~20-25% capacity around the league. Cowboys are planning on roughly 50%, but that's Jerry Jones all day. It's a huge stadium so it won't be that full. Indoor stadiums like the Saints, Falcons and Vikings might not be able to host fans at all until the vaccine.

But even for outdoor teams, the Packers and Jags will not have fans in September that I know of, and there are others too (think left-wing California).

[Darth_Pelican]

Saints plan on having around 20-25% capacity after week 1, and they will be doing a rotation for the season ticket holders.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Saints plan on having around 20-25% capacity after week 1, and they will be doing a rotation for the season ticket holders.

But they don't have a retractable roof? How will that work? The virus is airborne and masks are not air-tight. There will be a lot of criticism if a lot of Saints fans, especially since they have a more elderly average-age fanbase, contract and die of covid.

No one is forcing elderly to go to the games. If they're scared of the virus, then they don't have to go. Wal Mart and Costco don't have retractable roofs, and the last couple times I've been to them, people were elbow to elbow due to the crowds.

I'm just sayin'. Every time I see a Saints Superdome game I see more old people in the stands than I do at virtually any other NFL stadium, even for example Arizona or the Florida teams (though the Florida teams are generally losers with apathetic fanbases anyways). If only the younger Saints fans go.... well that's one good way to drastically reduce the size of your audience!

[Millennial_Messiah]

Crap, Von Miller might be out for the rest of his career, he's 31. Sad. He'll still make the HOF though.

Broncos go from 7-9 to 5-11 or 4-12, sadly.

Davis was given the option by the state/city to have up to about a third capacity. He chose to cut off his nose to spite his face. "All fans or no fans"... :lol only the Raiders.

so yeah, these will be basically XFL / high school games... better team wins, no home advantage. Raiders have the better team, though. Panthers don't have a competitive roster for the NFL.... maybe they can join the SEC and compete for a final 4 birth there, since mainstay perennials like tOSU, Michigan, Wisconsin, Oregon etc won't have a chance this year.

[Trainwreck2100]

Not really, the risk is high unless you expect these people to hold their piss in the whole game

[Millennial_Messiah]

you wear your mask to the b-room and wash your hands after you piss and use a paper towel for the door. I've been doing it for a decade pre-covid (well, aside from the mask part). It's not hard

[Will Hunting]

Not really, the risk is high unless you expect these people to hold their piss in the whole game
Like I said, it’s low risk compared to people jamming onto a narrow body airplane at 67% and breathing the same recycled air.

[Millennial_Messiah]

why not just cancel flights? I don't get how seattle will even be able to win home games this year tbh.

[SpursforSix]

That makes no sense. They’ve assessed the risk and determined that 25% is OK. But hey...home opener....

[Millennial_Messiah]

That makes no sense. They’ve assessed the risk and determined that 25% is OK. But hey...home opener....
But it's not just *any* home opener. It's their first SB title in many generations, the annual banner ceremony, the music, etc. Once a year NFL and sporting event / ritual. Who knows if they'll ever get to have that ceremony again? Mahomes could break his leg and miss the rest of his career, or maybe they just won't be good enough to get back there. Eveyone knows NFL = "Not For Long".

It's a once in a lifetime event. Let the fans be. With masks on, outside, they should be fine.

Only issue is rain is in the forecast for all day tomorrow:

Friend played a couple episodes of Hard Knocks the other day

Alot of the players act like its 6th grade camp. Truly shows you their job is a kids game

Especially the secondary. Barely any technique talk just trash talking and goofing off the entire time.

Coaches boarding on parents.

of all those teams, only Arizona, Atlanta, Minnesota and Tennessee are even remotely playoff contenders in 2020, and they're not really SB contenders so the answer is almost certainly a hard no.

[Robz4000]

This game is prolly gonna suck, but its nice to have football back tbh.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Yay they played the lombardi trophy theme music!! For longer than most banner ceremony years.

Still think this one was the best (lol at the germ spreading in Feb 2018 considering today's extreme gemophobic context):

well the last meeting between these two teams had the sloppiest first half of special teams play in just about any game i'd ever seen, and there was no covid pandemic then, so i don't see how it could be worse tbh.

700 million and the best they came up was standing in the middle of the field

David Johnson:wow

[spurraider21]

wow... david johnson looks 100%

[Millennial_Messiah]

David Johnson definitely looks like his old 2015 / 2016 self after having basically the last 2 years off due to injury and Kingsbury's scheme

[Millennial_Messiah]

wow... david johnson looks 100%
& to think just last year he had his job taken by a very average back in Kenyan Drake

[spurraider21]

& to think just last year he had his job taken by a very average back in Kenyan Drake
weird to blame kingsbury's scheme when that very average back was absolutely tearing it up in the same offense DJ was struggling in

more obvious answer is that DJ wasn't right physically. looks good so far in first quarter of week 1. hope it holds up. i dont own any shares of him in fantasy, but love him as a player

[RD2191]

Who the fuck is David Johnson? :lol

[spurraider21]

Who the fuck is David Johnson? :lol
he came out of nowhere to basically be the best RB in the league for about 1.25 years and then got hurt and dieded for 3 years

Not sure if you're being serious but he was elite in 2016, hampered by injuries since then.

and a shortened offseason to boot. really think teams returning qb/coach duos will have a leg up

[Millennial_Messiah]

Not sure if you're being serious but he was elite in 2016, hampered by injuries since then.
I remember him more for 15 than 16 honestly, think he had 200 yards on either a matinee game or a SNF game; while 16 was a down year for Arizona and Palmer was hurt all year that year. In 15 'Zona was the 2nd best team in the NFC.

[Millennial_Messiah]

bad batch of peanut butter?
well 2017 was a bad year for me because I was unemployed that year, but that meant a lot more madden, deep studying of football schemes, and of course watching all the actual games tbh.

[Will Hunting]

Good point.

Hopefully that means Newton really lit up the practice field to win the starting job over Stidham despite Stidham having so much more experience with the offense.

[benefactor]

It was mentioned that Watson was bad about trying to force the ball to Hopkins last year and the offense as a whole might be better this year overall even though Hopkins is Hopkins. I can sort of see that. Lots of speed and both backs are receivers.

[Millennial_Messiah]

DeMarcus Robinson fucking sucks, :lmao why the fuck did the Chiefs re-sign that loser when they have 3 studs in Hill, Watkins and Hardman, plus Kelce?

[Will Hunting]

It was mentioned that Watson was bad about trying to force the ball to Hopkins last year and the offense as a whole might be better this year overall even though Hopkins is Hopkins. I can sort of see that. Lots of speed and both backs are receivers.
I could see successful plays where they role David Johnson out and line him up as a WR, Brian Westbrook style.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Good point.

Hopefully that means Newton really lit up the practice field to win the starting job over Stidham despite Stidham having so much more experience with the offense.
one year of experience is "so much"? :lmao

Newton is 3-0 with the Panthers against the mighty Patriots in his career. Two of those games were quite close, one of them came down to a field goal and another came down to the refs not calling holding on Gronk in the endzone on the last play, but Newton has always played his best football in front of Belichick, so the signing was hardly surprising.

When Benji came back in 2016 the Panthers offense was expected to go from amazing to double amazing, but instead it faltered to 6-10 :lol

I might put you on ignore this year because of how annoying your football opinions are. More posts like this and it's a certainty :tu

[Millennial_Messiah]

this, too... but 2014 was Stafford's best year and Megatron was definitely there. 2016 was the year after he retired and Stafford was very good and they made the playoffs that year, but they haven't since.

His reply to me was in the same vein. He just vomits nonsense.

[spurraider21]

was that a designed QB run on 3rd and 10?

[Will Hunting]

Wtf was wrong with my post, tbh? Stidham is clearly the inferior choice.
He practiced with the first team offense most of the year last year because of how little Brady practiced, and reports were that he had good chemistry with the offense. Newton wasn't just handed the starting job, he had to show something in camp.

[spurraider21]

he has a history of comedically bad takes... only time i put him on ignore is when he would spam the gameday threads into oblivion

[Millennial_Messiah]

I could see successful plays where they role David Johnson out and line him up as a WR, Brian Westbrook style.
Duke Johnson also has WR experience, so they've got a lot of interchangeable parts. I still doesn't think it makes up for not having an elite WR1, but they have some toys to play with for sure.

[Millennial_Messiah]

He practiced with the first team offense most of the year last year because of how little Brady practiced, and reports were that he had good chemistry with the offense. Newton wasn't just handed the starting job, he had to show something in camp.
so you don't think Newton will be starting week 1 vs Miami this Sunday?

[Will Hunting]

Normally I'd find these BLM and social justice commercials getting spammed during a football game annoying as fuck, but it's actually hilarious knowing how much conservatives are triggered by them.

[Millennial_Messiah]

It was when I said two-time Raider / now two-time Seahawk Ben Mayowa was better than raider traitor khalil smack

[benefactor]

Gotta come up with that pick

[Will Hunting]

so you don't think Newton will be starting week 1 vs Miami this Sunday?
My point was that since Newton won the starting job, it means he had to have shown something in practice since Stidham had a certain level of established chemistry with the offense. He clearly wasn't just given the starting job once he was signed, he earned it playing well in camp.

I'm not going to explain that again to try to understand the very basic thing I'm saying this time.

fresh prince of hel aire

[Millennial_Messiah]

LSU is lucky that the Big Ten (tOSU/Michigan) and the Pac 12 opted out, otherwise without this guy and Burrow (and a lot of their defense) they wouldn't have a snowball's shot at a final 4 college football playoff birth tbh.

justin jefferson too. but jamarr chase was already the best WR in college, he alone would have kept them relevant tbh. monster.

[Millennial_Messiah]

fresh prince of hel aire
He looks like zeeeeeeeeeeeeeke out there tbh :lol

grindin' them 7-8 yards per carry

[spurraider21]

but yeah these short backs are always difficult to tackle because of how low their center of gravity is. its why MJD and Doug Martin were so effective. helaire isnt as strong as those two... has more westbrook/mccoy to him.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Getting gashed tbh
Week 6 last year roles reversed tbh.

[spurraider21]

this drive is brutal. long, slow, almost exclusively running. if the chiefs can beat you that way, you're in for a long game

[Millennial_Messiah]

robinson FINALLY caught one... about damn time... expected him to drop it like the last two

[Will Hunting]

this drive is brutal. long, slow, almost exclusively running. if the chiefs can beat you that way, you're in for a long game
The rest of the NFL might be in for a long season if the Chiefs are now this good at running the ball.

[Millennial_Messiah]

I think that one stands, elbow was down short but he wasn't touched. Even if called back, the Chiefs will get the TD on the ground with Helaire.

[spurraider21]

The rest of the NFL might be in for a long season if the Chiefs are now this good at running the ball.
that Kelechi Osemele pickup on the OL could be huge. he was a beast in baltimore, and then dominated for 1-2 years on the raiders before falling off. traded to the jets, got hurt and cut. he's been plowing the road so far this game.

[Millennial_Messiah]

The rest of the NFL might be in for a long season if the Chiefs are now this good at running the ball.
Exactly what I was thinking. :lol

Only real issue on their team is the back 7 imo and even there they have some players like Mathieu and Thornhill.

[spurraider21]

just realized houston has PJ Hall... hope he does well there. i dont think the staff in oakland gave him a fair shake, tho he did show up to camp out of shape b2b years. i just remember his twitter handle was PJJWatt and now he plays next to JJ :lol

[RD2191]

bad batch of peanut butter?
:lol

[spurraider21]

16 play drive that ate up most of the quarter... as if the chiefs werent enough of a problem without a run game :lol

[spurraider21]

also, texans offense has been very... measured. no big plays. i know they lost hopkins but cooks/fuller are both plenty capable of being big play guys. cooks was injured last year but had been a 1000 yard/#1 receiver for the 4 prior seasons

[Millennial_Messiah]

Fairbairn is one of the worst kickers in the league; why didn't the Texans ever get around to replace him? Lots of guys available tbh.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Well it took 5 years but Watkins finally lived up to his #4 overall pick status... meanwhile the Great God OBJ will forever be a ringless clown

[spurraider21]

Well it took 5 years but Watkins finally lived up to his #4 overall pick status... meanwhile the Great God OBJ will forever be a ringless clown
watkins blowing his load in week 1 is not very uncommon tbh :lol

[spurraider21]

texans need to do a better job leveraging DJ's productivity into big plays. offense looks pretty dull

[Millennial_Messiah]

watkins blowing his load in week 1 is not very uncommon tbh :lol
Not untrue, but he was also elite in the Super Bowl last year, tbh, and that's what makes otherwise ok players great.

[Millennial_Messiah]

texans need to do a better job leveraging DJ's productivity into big plays. offense looks pretty dull
they need to send him out in more traditional WR1 routes (Hopkins routes), because he might be their best tough-catch alpha WR even though he's also a running back. Problem with Cooks and Fuller is they're speed guys but not tough, contested catch guys.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Damien Williams was never all that good; he's an average speed back that benefited of Mahomes. He was good at home runs, but lousy on 3rd & short, which really cost them against the Patriots in the 18-19 championship game.

The Chiefs' offense last year definitely took a step back from the Kareem Hunt era Chiefs with Mahomes. Maybe the Helaire acquisition brings back that dynamic part of their game. Because the Chiefs offense just wasn't as good last year with Williams instead of Hunt.

[benefactor]

Fairbairn is one of the worst kickers in the league; why didn't the Texans ever get around to replace him? Lots of guys available tbh.
He was one of the best kickers in the league in 2018. Would you just stop talking.

Maybe Eric Beineimy from KC coaches the Texans next year? It makes sense since Watson is a slightly poorer man's Mahomes.

He's had his moments on offense(mostly because Watson came to him and forced him to build an offense around him) but he's a horrible in game coach with both decision making and clock management. Supposedly Kelly really knew his shit on offense even though he's a former defensive player but it looks like he's just another BOB yes man.

Hardman has barely played on offense. It's not a good sign if scrubs like Robinson and Pringle are beating him out for offensive snaps. He was supposed to be the next Tyreek Hill. Hope he isn't just limited to special teams and jet sweeps, he's a good player. Maybe a trade candidate if the Chiefs need, say someone on defense.

Unfortunately the game3 script called for loads of CEH this game, since Houston dominated time of possession apparently in their last win over the Chefs. I'll personally hold onto him (bench) for the next few weeks and hope he gets featured at some point. After that, I'd go after someone on my waiver wire like Jeudy

once Watkins redid his deal to stay with the team Hardman was completely off my fantasy radar. in games that both watkins and hill were active hardman rarely even saw a target.

mahomes/hill/kelce/helaire are the every week fantasy plays... watkins maybe as a flex or bye week fill-in. thats not really THAT many guys. plenty of teams have that many relevant fantasy players. saints with brees/kamara/thomas/cook, etc

Jeudy makes more sense post the Von Miller injury, since their defense will likely not be good enough to keep the Broncos in games this year. That means they will be losing most of the time and thus face a lot of soft zone defense playing from behind. But I'm not a Drew Lock believer either, so it's meh

eh, 7-9 at best, Tua needs time and Fitzpatrick is never good for more wins than losses, though he can be fun to watch.

I think people especially Stupid Skip Bayless are severely overestimating Buffalo, who had the easiest schedule in the history of the NFL last year and had everything go right and still went 10-6. They have a bottom 3 QB and bottom 5 HC. They are trash and their overrated "defense" can't stop the run.

New England is still winning that division. It may not be pretty, it may be 8-8 or similar, but they'll be better than Buffalo for sure.

I think the Jets are better than Buffalo tbh.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Carolina gets under 6 wins in 2020. $70K real money. Take it or leave it.

Don't forget you're playing in a division with Tom Brady, Drew Brees and Julio Jones so that's 6 losses right there :lol

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Buffalo has a large influence of former Panthers GM, coaches & players from their Super Bowl run. They have an established culture there, they will do well. With the extra wildcard spot starting this year, they both make the playoffs. Josh Allen is the QB for the Bills. McDermott knows how to coach a QB similar to him in Cam Newton. His stats arent pretty, but he does exactly what they want him to do.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Its funny to see people crowning the Bucs, and especially the Falcons lol. What exactly have the Falcons done? They were a trainwreck, their fans wanted their coach fired, Matt Ryan is a known big game choker, even before his Super Bowl meltdown.

Tom Brady doesnt even fit into the Bucs system. They are a vertical attack offense. Thats why Winston got killed and threw so many picks last year. Brady is going to get hit. Fournette is their third string running back, because they have such a deep ball reliance.

You dont watch the NFC South play

[Millennial_Messiah]

Kurt Warner predicted Bridgewater to throw for 5k and 40 TD’s this year. The offense will win games. Theres no game tape on Carolina.

:lmao Bridgecheckdowner? He's a backup grade QB at best. Brandon Weeden is a good comp. If it wasn't for him getting lucky to have the GOAT short-throw possession receiver in Michael Thomas (not to mention a top 3 scatback in Kamara, top 5 O-Line, and a helluva defense to support the Saints when Brees was out), he'd be out of the league.

Carolina does have another top 3 scatback, yes, but a bunch of receivers that would rather go deep, no Michael Thomas, bottom tier O-Line, defense lost all their talent in the offseason. 5-11 is an extremely generous ceiling. They could get Trevor Lawrence next year, though.

I'll bet my entire ST posting career that, say if Prescott is the QB in New England next year, I won't be doing his schtick. As a matter of fact I don't care what team Prescott joins, either in 2021 or 2022. I'll be thanking Jerry for not overpaying an average QB like Prescott or Cam Newton and continuing to build the defense, keep the 3 WR stooges intact, and build the trenches.

Andy Dalton the starting QB on a 4 yr/40 million type deal + drafting a new QB under the rookie contract, is way better value/equal performance than Dak for 35-40 mil a year

[SpursforSix]

Andy Dalton the starting QB on a 4 yr/40 million type deal + drafting a new QB under the rookie contract, is way better value/equal performance than Dak for 35-40 mil a year
I don’t believe anyone believes that you believe that.

[Millennial_Messiah]

I don’t believe anyone believes that you believe that.

when I say 4 year/40 million, I'm saying 10 million a year. You can even guarantee the money to Dalton (he's plenty well off already from his Cincinnati contracts and he'd accept it considering his age and status; look at how much guys like Tyrod are getting paid), it'd allow us to have 3 big names on the roster that we wouldn't have if we kept Dak at how much money he wants. Plus, we draft a rookie QB, if it's not Lawrence then maybe we can get a project like Dak was in the mid rounds, or maybe DiNucci develops, and/or we sign a veteran for cheap as insurance. Recall Romo was a UDFA. Cowboys haven't had a high QB pick since Aikman.

Dalton has been very effective offensively when he's had a good OL and receivers. Of course the roof fell off Cincinnati when the Bengals jettisoned Marvin Jones, Sanu, Whitworth, Zeitler etc and Eifert became chronically injured. But Dalton had a rejuvenation early in 2018 before their WR corps went down again. Dalton is just like Dak; he can be very good and score points and win football games with the right pieces, but he won't magically win a SB for you against all odds like a Brady or Mahomes. One is priced drastically different than the other; so why not take the one who's going to cost you 25-30% of the other?

Would you rather have

(A) Dak Prescott at top dollar, and only get to long-term keep 2 of the following names: Michael Gallup, Leighton Vander Esch, Aldon Smith (assuming he's back to his 2013 self), Randy Gregory (2018 version), and sign/acquire a top-tier young superstar DB?

or

(B) Andy Dalton or similar QB, and keep all of those names long-term + pick up some star young free agents to make the defense elite?


I'm a firm believer that, if you don't have an ELITE QB, there isn't a huge difference between the rabble. Prescott showed last year that he isn't elite. 4 chances for game winning drives at the end of games, and ...... 0/4. The difference between 8-8 and 12-4. Elite QBs win a minimum of 2 of those last-ditch drives, if not 3 or even all 4. Big games. Sure, Prescott averaged 500+ yards against the easy teams and blew them off the field... any QB can do that. But, Prescott came up short in the biggest moments of his contract year. He didn't deserve a new contract, and he's lucky to be playing on the tag at $31 million for 2020.

If the covid drops the cap, who knows how much he'd get on the open market in 2021? We all expected guys like Winston and Newton to get deals minimum in the $20M AAV range because of their experience, but they got crappy low 7 figure deals. Sure, some team like Jacksonville who loses on the Trevor Lawrence sweepstakes might pay Prescott what he wants, but they also might not. 50/50 chance. In today's NFL, there's a HUGE standard deviation between elite QBs and non-elite QBs. You're either in the $30M+ club (or close like Tannehill) or you're making basically 7 figures. Performance wise, there isn't a $25M difference between a guy like Goff or Tannehill versus a guy like Tyrod Taylor, Jameis Winston, Andy Dalton or Cam Newton. So why overpay and gut your roster unless you have a Mahomes or Rodgers? I just don't understand.

Bridgewater looking good tbh. Exceeding my expectations

[Will Hunting]

On the one hand, I like having QB who can make plays with his feet.

On the orher hand, I really miss having a QB who can complete passes in the short middle.
Or who can make pre-snap reads and determine where blitzes are coming from. Both of Miami's sacks could have been avoided with pre snap adjustments.

[Spurtacular]

Why not just put cameras on the refs?

That would be "the best view".

:lol Saying a human had the best view and trust him in this day and age.

[Spurtacular]

Does Cousins not know the route, or did he just throw the ball that sh**?

[Spurtacular]

F*cking Cousins throwing an int and then the Vikings getting beat deep at the end of the half.

[Spurtacular]

Getting the score under 2TDs going into half was big. But Vikes got to do much better in the 2nd half on both ends of the ball.

yeah, and they're not winning in a packed Lambeau house in the cold late in the year in their other meeting

the schedule really favors GB over MIN in the division this year, and the other two teams look sucky so far too

:lol thinking stadiums are going to be anywhere near full capacity this year

[Will Hunting]

Seriously, how did Tua lose a QB battle against Shitzpatrick? :lmao
It didn't make sense to me why an undersized lefty was such a high pick to begin with. There's no way he was anything other than terrible in camp if Fitzpatrick won the job over him.

raiders pass rush has been non-existent. he's been getting time and carving them up.

[Will Hunting]

I have no fucking idea who J.J. Taylor is but I already like him more than Burkhead.

Well, I try to temper my expectations with the Zimmer/Cousins ticket.

[Millennial_Messiah]

:wow :wow :wow

Since when did Pete Carroll grow testicles? I guess even at 70 years old it's not too late, tbh. :lol But he ALWAYS punts in that situation.

What a bomb to Metcalf on 4th down!!

[Millennial_Messiah]

Oh, god. Wentz :lmao :bang

wilson is the best deep ball passer in the league. metcalf couldnt have landed in a better spot

[Will Hunting]

:lmao drafting N'Keal Harry over Metcalf
