Well, the Cheatriots are finally bad. Problem is that they are in the worst division in football and can simply stumble into the playoffs with little to no effort at all.

Well, gotta love that in two games Geno Smith already looks a better QB than Sanchez. Fans, being fans, were going apesh*t about the picks and etc my how quickly we forget. I'd like to ask Jet fans how do they think the game would've gone down with Mark "I cant handle the slightest pressure and need perfect conditions" Sanchez playing?
Would've been 5 picks, 2 or 3 fumbles and probably 30% complete. Maybe another butt fumble for good measure.
The thinned out Pats are struggling a bit, and while TB isn't a very good team at all they have a better offense than last 2. Falcons should be interesting.
I forsee a shootout in the Manning Bowl.
Niners/Seahawks is hopefully epic as it appears on paper.

Ah I know nothing of that crazy ass betting world. I heard the odds were ridic for this game, (In a good way I think) but yeah I avoid that madness. All's fun until losing $ is involved and I think it works like "X needs to win by at least 14" so if they do by only 13 you lose it all still. OR crazier, if they win by too big an amount! IDK, glad I steer clear of that. (Not that I have the $ to gamble anyway)
Still, classic rivalry game and despite their suck, and Rex Ryan's horrible attitude, as the other NJ team I have to at least watch the game and pull for the Jets. It's pretty much written by contract when living here

Do feel for the Raiders, the whole team has become a black hole now, I honestly forget they exist. No matter what happens, there never seems to be improvement, just kinda there.
Tonight may be interesting, Geno Smith Jets vs the weakened Pats.
Nah it'll still be a horrible defeat for NY who we kidding! |
I expect the Pats to lose, as Brady literally has no one to throw to, and Ridley will just fumble it away. On the other hand, I should never underestimate the Jets ability to tank. |
Oh whew, I was gunna say...against better opponents perhaps but these are the Jets! They're pretty lacking in the weapon category as well, with worse backs and I need a little more to make an opinion of Geno Smith. Until R Wilson and Kaepernick, these option QBs havnt proven capable of legit passing yet.

I'm a Longtime suffering Raiders fan. I have been reduced to telling myself after Sunday, was "they lost, but they at least they weren't embarrassing."

Ditto the left in the tank concerns. But I hope the giants wouldn't sign him just for the hell of it.
Hopefully if nothing else he will at least pass protect.

I was never a fan of his antics and mouth running, but it's unavoidable these days.
He at least was fiery and a good teammate oh and a great back.
Antrel Rolle has more than filled the talking void but sadly is a much crappier player :(

Brandon Jacobs is trash.

Makes me happy as a huge fan of his, but I wonder if there's anything left in the tank! He seemed to be getting low by the end of his Giants tenure, and struggled to stay healthy. I loved his style, (was better than he got credit for as well) but it took a beating on him. Remember by the end, the infamous: 1 yard to go, run Jacobs, stopped at line. Not real great for a 264 lb guy! I love Coughlin, but the fumble thing is a little mad. Was one game fumbles happen, I say keep running him and see how it plays out. If there's a real issue well ok then, but he's a great back. But let's see what Jacobs has left, better than nothing. Guess familiarity is a good thing, though still McGahee seems like a better choice.

LOL I hope that coffin is finally nailed shut. The Pats are famous for taking anyone, and making them good (at least servicable) in their system. If they couldnt even find a way to use Tebow I think his fate may be sealed. He WOULD be better in a chip kelly like system but thing is he still can't pass. Literally, he still throws side arm with that horrid motion or chucks it like a bowling ball Not quite the fast, accurate passing Philly needs! Also indecisive, I'll never forget that deer in the headlights face while he scrambled round like a madman, or got hammered unaware of the defender closing on him. Speaking of the Pats Im hard on Brady but he can win some respect from me this year. With his 3 major weapons gone (we'll see how well Gronk comes back) he's left with the poor mans wes welker, also hurt now, and julian edleman! Reminds me of the pre 07 days when the Pats never had much at all and Brady really had to work

Yeah, I put the over/under on Foles starting at week 5. |
Which if it did happen, one would have to wonder if the Chip Kelly O would continue as it is...I know it's about speed and running, but the option QB is key and that doesn't seem Foles' forte
Crazy, pretty sloppy, opening week. Should be another nutty season!

The Chargers shouldn't be allowed to play on Monday nights anymore.

The more things change the more they stay the same...Rivers starts the game hot as hell and I really thought this one was long over, but the Chargers yet again are showcasing how to collapse. Funny thing is I was gunna comment and say this is same ol Texans...lotsa hype but just cant deliver but they really took on a different feel as the game has gone on!
Hoping for a sweet finish, no real preference who wins
