Steelers looked good today.

Sean McDonough is one of the best PBP guys in the business and I'm happy he got the call to the big time with MNF.

If you want to hear awful announcing this Berman/Young team is right up there. I think at one point Berman said "long short punt". I'm still trying to figure that one out.

You know Berman was filler because of the double header, they have no personal that wants to do it ..just like the one season where Mike and Mike did PBP for a later game. That was dreadful as well

But Sean is going to be there all season

Watching the LA Rams. Wow! I haven't said that in decades.

 

[guyver1]

Oh brother what a horrible wk 1 in the NFL this has been.. Lousy offenses, bad play calling, subpar QB play.. Mostly this wk 1 was a Defense lovers dream. No game this WK 1 was a standout.

Hoping WK 2 we get more TDs and exciting plays.

This had to be a Knightmare week for Fantasy football. How can anyone in the Fantasy league score big.

 

[guyver1]

Wow wish that Rams defense guy didn't get that pissed..they are in L.A. now..that is going to haunt him with the media in Cali.

 

[Centurion]

The Rams need Jared Goff to start real soon or anyone else other than Keenum. Once a play is called from the sidelines, Case Keenum will stick through with it as planned. The problem with that is, if the defense has your play matched up, and you still follow the plan, you waste a down or risk getting the ball turned over. A good QB should be able to recognize the field and make adjustments.

Depends on who you have, some big names are scoring

I respect Fisher..but man you got to control the team mister. I know the Rams were dirty in St Louis but they are back in SoCal, Hollywood.

You think Philly, NY, Cleveland, Pittsburgh is tough on their teams. What do they think L.A. is going to be like. Double that. L.A. fans has been wanting a NFL team for decades.

Not to mention L.A. Is a media fest. Maybe Fisher this should be his last year.

 

[wanderlai]

I don't think the folks in LA will care because it's LA. It's more a socializing event whereas in Pittsburg, Green Bay, Philly, etc....It's all the average Joe lives and breaths this time of year.

 

[Shawpaw]

There were actually some good games this weekend (GB/Jax, Minn/Tn, etc.). I think LA is just garbage. They are replacing the cleveland browns as the worst.

I think the Pats and GB showed the most upside with weekend. Steelers took advantage of an imploding WSH team. Steelers will be good though. Denver will lose some games.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the Redskins will never amount to anything while Dan Snyder owns the team. His egotistical ass bought them because he thought that would get them back to the Superbowl since he's a fan. I know Jerry Jones is bad but at least you can point to the dynasty they had in the 90's for proof he knew what he was doing at one point in time. There's nothing to show Snyder knows a damn thing about building a winning organization.

Yep, any sane person in the DMV area knows how bad Dan Snyder is. I try to temper the expectations of my friends who are Washington fans, but they don't listen. They look at Cousins' year last year and see another division championship this year. They see the signing of Josh Norman and that bolsters their opinion. Don't get me wrong, last year was a good year for Washington, but these fans forget that Washington was last in the division two seasons ago, and therefore played a fourth place schedule last year. From the Washington Post: "Washington only played three teams in 2015 that finished the year with a winning record. In those games, against New England, Carolina and the New York Jets, Washington lost by a combined score of 105-46. And in the playoffs, it lost 35-18 at home to Green Bay." Additionally, Tony Romo's injury and the implosion of the Chip Kelly experiment helped Washington win the division.

EDIT: And if the Steelers can ever get Big Ben, Antonio Brown, and Leveon Bell on the field together at the same time, watch out AFC (although DeAngelo Williams has been MORE than serviceable...).

You nailed it. Fisher needs to step up and keep his team focused.
Case in point: last night DT Aaron Donald grabs an opposing player at the back of his neck, taunts a ref, and when he was ejected from the game, slams his helmet into the grass.

We've been wanting a team here for decades and I'm glad we finally have one. But this isn't the kind of team I will stand behind.
Moving forward... Seahawks are coming into town this Sunday. Oh boy.....

Good..Russell Wilson needs to get me some points

See Raiders @ Saints for some high
fantasy scoring as well as the Steelers.

I'm really impressed how well Miami and Jags played despite the losses. I don't think Pats are going to dominate the Miami game upcoming, especially without Brady. Russell Wilson's clutch qb won the Hawks game pure and simple but the overall game was Miami's to win. Just messed up every redzone opportunity they had.

Now what does that mean, I think with Jimmy, it wouldn't surprise me if Miami could take that game. We'll see.

What I'm seeing from the Jags is that Bortyles should've started seasons ago. With the inconsistency of the Texans, Colts and Titans I think they can win the AFC South. C'mon they played Rodgers with a healthy Jordy Nelson, of course they had no shot in Wk 1

 

[user 1190]

Cousins was pretty smart..regardless if they tank he's got $20 mill coming to him in Feb

Hows that, he is under the franchise tank and if they tank he isnt getting that ever again.

I don't think the folks in LA will care because it's LA. It's more a socializing event whereas in Pittsburg, Green Bay, Philly, etc....It's all the average Joe lives and breaths this time of year.

That only works for so long. A few years after that new stadium opens and its like that still they will end up playing road games at home as the crowds will be as much for the road team as the rams. There is a reason now one but two teams left LA. If your not winning we could care less about you we have 1000000 more things to do out here year round and dont need to waste time some losers.

I've always liked Cousins as a backup but he is a notoriously slow starter. It's like he only plays well when he thinks there's nothing to play for. Anybody with a clue would have caught onto this in the organization, and maybe they did but just got too deep in a hole by getting RGIII. He could still be a winning QB ala Trent Dilfer if the defense was a top 5 defense. Once again, poor organizational management rears its ugly head. Instead of beefing up the D line with run stoppers they paid Josh Norman out the wazoo like Dan Snyder always does.

 

[DinoDB1975]

The Norman signing doesn't really helped them when: A) The other team decides to move their #1 receiver to either the slot or the other side of the field, and B) they get no pressure from their D line.

 

[Grenouille]

After that stellar performance Monday night it looks like the Rams are about to give Jeff Fisher a 3 year extension. He's making $7 million a year right now. For reference Belichick is the highest paid at $8.5.

 

[Darth Madden]

As a Seahawks fan I am happy to see that. We won't have to worry about the Rams for a few more years.
