    Quite an opening weekend

    The Chiefs, Bengals and Bills all lose
    Giants and Steelers got absolutely torched
    The Eagles made hard work of the Patriots.
    The fucking Broncos lost to the Raiders.

      Rodgers probably done for the year with an Achilles tear. That might also be the end of his career - long road back for a 40 year old.

      Did Joe Namath sell the Jets soul to the devil for SBIII? I think this is the 4th time they've lost their starting QB for the season in the first game or preseason in the last 25 years. They also had favre tear a bicep and try to play through when they were 8-3.

                You were right to be sceptical of Wilson & Payton combo.

                Good news is it's supposedly a stacked QB class in this upcoming Draft.

                  Chubb done for the season with a brutal knee injury.

                  Shame, he was probably the best rusher in the league. The Browns really can't have nice things.

                      thank god they didn't show it.

                      They showed it on the big screen, and you could hear the crowd 'oooh'ing. It was brutal. I don't want that image in my head.

                      Other than that (poor Chubb), fun season! NFL is great entertainment at the moment, I'm really enjoying Redzone

                          seriously, that stats out of that debacle are mind blowing

                          70 points
                          726 yards of offense (350 rushing 376 passing)
                          30 1st downs
                          10 touch downs
                          6 of 6 in the redzone

                          No sacks. 1 punt

                          Payton a disaster so far, Vance Joseph as DC even more so. We can't even blame Russ, he's doing okay.

                                  The saddest part is that Miami could have gotten the record with a field goal and opted not to to save Denver the shame.

                                  Which in a way is even more embarrassing

                                  Like the mercy rule is under 9s soccer.

                                      First NFL London game of 2023 was a bit of a snore and lots of empty seats at Wembley too.

                                          Basically a quarter of the way through the season, and it feels like there are not many good teams.

                                          The Niners are fucking flying, and will never haver a better chance than this year. CMC is ridiculous. They are putting up 30 points a week, the defense is still excellent.
                                          The Eagles are the only other unbeaten side, but haven't been anywhere near as convincing.
                                          Below them are a bunch of good but not great 3-1 teams.
                                          And like a quarter of the Conference straight up stink

                                          On the other side the Chiefs are 3-1 but aren't exactly on fire. Mahomes is Mahomes but their receiver class is pretty average. The Ravens and Bills are a scratchy 3-1 as well, and it drops away to some pretty ordinary sides after that
                                          The Bengals are 1-3 and looking fucking terrible. And again, a good 25-30% of the teams in the Conference stink.

                                          We seem to be at a tipping point. QB play was everything, offence was the best form of defense, and it was all about scoring. Coaches worked that out, and now defenses have caught up. Corners get better every year, and suddenly down field is not as open. And D-lines have got better and better, meaning it's not just pressure from elite edge rushers, pressure is coming from everywhere. And the QBs are paying the price.

                                          Daniel Jones is in the gun for it at the moment. His o-line is wet paper bag weak, he has 2-4 guys in his face every single play. And because he is not Brady or Mahomes, he gets sacked. A lot. Or fumbles. Now, some of that is absolutely on him, he's got a deer-in-the-headlights look on his face and he's freezing. But shit, when you are getting rushed over and over and over, the fuck is he supposed to do? I watched yesterday, and he's looking downfield and nothing is open, then he's got to get rid of it because the protection has collapsed.
                                          But Giants fans are basically saying he needs to get fired. For who? Who exactly is going to do a better job?

                                          All these QBs that got paid this offseason might be thanking their lucky stars, because if defense and the run game come back, economics might change again.
