@nzzp I watched 3 very entertaining games. Seahawks v Cowboys was insane because of the errors.
Packers v Saints was a QB shoot out
Then yesterday was impressive. If anything the scoreline flattered the Ravens, as the chiefs started taking the piss in the 3rd.

@KiwiMurph just watched Chiefs Ravens.
If Mahomes isn't in the league, Jackson would be getting legendary status. Unfortunately, he's up against a force of nature. The balls that Mahomes threw were unreal. Shovel pass to a fullback, a fat guy touchdown... he's just insane. What a player. So lucky to wind up with Andy Reid, too, who is one of the great offensive minds.
prior to that caught up on the Hawks Cowboys game. What a doozy, such great entertainment. Wilson is starting to get the respect he deserves, and his deep ball throwing is just amazing.
NFL is a lot of fun at the moment, with plenty of talent to watch. Hoping the positive Covid tests don't rain on the parade

Jackson is 0-2 in the playoffs and neither of those games were against the Chiefs. He needs to fix that pronto.

@mariner4life it's like KC are playing on easy mode. Ridiculous, but fun

Their defence is good too

We might have the first head coaching change of the season very soon.
The New York Jets are abysmal - their QB Darnold is actually promising but the rest of their team is horrendous.

and yet they almost managed to get up over the equally bad Broncos. this was a classic Thursday night cripple fight, which went right down to the wire. Two 0-3 teams playing ... it was a massive hot mess.

@nzzp agreed - but at least Broncos have the excuse of not having their starting QB and having to travel cross-country.

@KiwiMurph Thursday night aka Friday afternoon football is just a train wreck.
And yet so intriguing at times

No QB. No Von Miller. No starting running back. Broncos are hammered by injury.

Pats v Chiefs postponed until Tuesday US time. Cam Newton has the dreaded lurgy, among others.
This was going to be the first game of the season I was going to follow closely. No Newton vs Mahomes just sucks.

@shark damn. It's a real concern for pro sport in general - TRC is just as at risk I fear
That's a big part of the reason I'm so resentful of so many All Blacks being pulled from the NPC, for so long.

NPC is the same risk - if one team gets it, it's all on. If you have to gamble, internationals are a better bet financially (but goddamn how good were the first few rounds)

In a massive shock Bill O'Brien is the first coach sacked
yes, that was hugely sarcastic. Texan fans have wanted him gone for ages. Trading Hopkins should have got everyone fired on the spot.

remarkably entertaining Thursday Night game (well, Friday afternoon).
Bears win 20-19 over the Bucs with Brady. Brady sacked three times.
Bears turn over ball and drop easy passes. Foles has a noodle arm. Gronk isn't what he was. And yet, the game was entertaining, I enjoyed it, and now I have had beers.
Life is good people,

How about Tom Brady not knowing what down it was on the final play?
And the old age jokes begin.
@KiwiMurph I know, I chortled. who hasn't forgotten that ...
Still, he played well. Good throws.

We were at least competitive against the Steelers today. Our defensive line still has massive issues.
