Week 2 Other Games Thread

I don't know what to make of the Vikes yet. Not sure if the new defensive coordinator is the real deal - they played well in the first half, though the announcers indicated they still have a talent deficit on that side.

It would be weird to be that head coach - your second year, and you've built your offense for Kirk Cousins, and you're going to lose him after this season. I have no idea if the guy is a good coach, and no idea if the organization is going to give him some time to sort things out. Ras would probably know better than most of us.

I'm fairly sure the damned Vikings are sticking with Cousins come hell or high water. He was mediocre when they overpaid him, and he still is. And as somebody said above, it was turnovers stupidity of interceptions or maybe fumbles, the same kind of QB carelessness and stupidity that many in here seem to downplay or even crave that kills teams - the kind of thing that Rodgers was so great about and in the early returns, Love seems pretty good about too.

If I'm reading Over the Cap correctly, his contract voids after this year, so there is a fair chance they will move on. Or maybe they will sign him for 1-2 years and draft someone to learn behind him (if they learned anything from the Packers success).

That's what I think they're going to do. He's shown in the past a willingness to play on a 1 year contract.

I imagine the Jest will be monitoring the Cousins situation closely. Better not tell Aaron, though!

Anyone else think the vikings were the better team

I think they are much better than 0-2 .

I'm going to a sports bar to try to find a TV showing the Packers-Falcons today. Loins fans are ready to act all tough and crap - the Lions are playing that "everybody hates us" card already, so it's that "if we're going to be the bad guys, let's embrace it." They're doing that by having the fans wear blue ski masks today.

They think they're going to look intimidating and cool, but they'll probably look more like Robbert from SimpliSafe:

[texaspackerbacker]

The Lions aren't good enough to be hated. Disrespected, yes, but hated? Nope.

[King Friday]

Chiefs look like dog shit. Need to stop making commercials and start practicing.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Pussies lost to Seafucks. Packers are still in a 1st place tie in the north.

LOL There is the possibility that DET struggles with handling success this year. They are certainly talented, but they were also a lot of people's offseason darlings.
Maybe the fans should go back to wearing bags over their heads.

They are better than CHI for sure. I don't think anyone really knows anything until sometime in October. That's when we'll have a better idea of which teams are good, meh, or trash-fires.
