Week 1 other games thread

[Guiness]

Ok, it's been quiet in here, but this is something else - 4th quarter of the season's opening day, and there's no discussion of the game? wow

Mahomes putting on a clinic. KC's new RB is a gamer, that's going to make them even tougher to deal with on offense, if that's possible.

Houston looks...bad. The OL is horrible, both tackles are regularly getting beat and Watson has no time to do anything. David Johnson is running well though, he's doing more to take pressure off Mahomes than anything else. Just watched Watson take a 5 step drop after a shotgun snap, have someone in his face within a second. He tucked and ran around, covering about 15 yards to get back to the LOS.

In yesteryears, Prof Rand, ole wist, O’Day, Rutnstrut, Shadow, Bobble, Fosco, Roark and Skinbaskets often frequent the Other Games threads. This year, however, they’re boycotting the NFL.

Tex said it best, “Hahahahahaha.”

detroit lions did typical detroit lion things today...

Tampa got hosed on that call.

Brady looked like crap, and Brees was ok, not much more.

They will both be playing much better a month in.

The whole league, or at least the whole NFC other than the Packers seems a little bit down this season. As some of us expected, the Niners don't seem as good with a few personnel losses, etc. Ditto that for the Bears. Philadelphia kinda floundered. The Cowboys so far seem worse on D with a new coordinator who maybe messed things up for them - even though it seems like their personnel is improved.

Aaron Donald is unblockable

Just turned on this game. First play, the refs miss a blow to Goff's head on the pick. Second play, he refs miss a hold on Donald. Jerry paying these guys or what?

I am not boycotting the NFL. I even stood in my living room, hand over heart for the Black National Anthem.

That being said, I have a couple observations. One, MM can't help but blame the refs. He probably will have a nice 10 win season with a loaded roster.

Two, Brady is finding out how hard it is to play QB when your D doesn't hold the other team to 12 points.

Aaron Donald is unblockable

Nonsense. If you commit the right 3 guys to him it is easy to take him out of the play.

Third play, Fat Mike complains that the officials are costing him his place in history as a brilliant head coach.

A lot more calls went against the Cowboys in that game than for them, especially the OPI on Gallup in the last few seconds of the game.

I don't know if McCarthy is gonna be a success for them or not, but he sure handicapped himself by bringing in a second generation piece of crap as his D Coordinator (Nolan).
