> [@garygnu](#): > > David Tyree of “Helmet Catch” fame was cut the following preseason. Just sayin’. He also caught a touchdown pass earlier that Superbowl. Interestingly enough, the helmet catch was the last catch he ever made. The following season he went down with a knee in training camp, then surgery didn’t go so great. He started the season on the PUP list and then moved to IR, never playing a down in 2008. After that season the Giants released him, then the Ravens took a flier on him in 2009 but he was pretty much done and retired. Tyree was never really a receiver in the first place. Primarily a special teams guy, he made the Pro Bowl and was first team All-Pro in 2005 for special teams. ---

I’m looking forward to another 11-6 season and divisional-round playoff exit by my Cowboys. ---

To complete the NFC East predictions here, Washington is a total mystery, mostly due to the wait-and-see on Sam Howell. I’m WAGing somewhere in the 8-9, 9-8 neighborhood. ---

Deshaun Watson looks like absolute dog shit but Burrow has too so I’m going to assume the weather in Cincy is worse than it looks. Rough news for the Ravens - JK Dobbins with a suspected Achilles tear after losing last season to injury. ---

Yeah, I would guess that few thought that the Browns would dominate Cincy on opening day. I’m not watching the game, but the Red Zone announcers keep talking about the constant rain in Cleveland. ---

While I enjoy having Sunday Ticket on YouTubeTV, the lag time is almost 90 seconds. Gotta avoid alerts on my phone to avoid spoilers. ---

Browns have always been good against the Bengals, they’re like 6-1 in their last 7 games. Browns are historically bad on opening day though, losing something like 17 or 18 straight until last year. ---

It was a very wet and rainy game and this helps your pass defense look better but the Browns D-line was all over Burrow all game and the pass coverage was tight. Revamped Browns defense looking really good, holding the $250 million dollar man to 3 points. ---

Anthony Richardson is injured. Almost like having your quarterback in the game and running for first downs in garbage time is a bad idea. Buccaneers win on the road. They gave up a ton of yards to Justin Jefferson but who doesn’t? More importantly, they looked like the better team throughout the second half. ---

We have our first scorigami! The Ravens defeat the Texans 25-9, the first time that final score has occurred in NFL history. ---

Washington played the first half like they thought the Cardinals were just going to lay down any minute. They played the second half like they realized they wouldn’t. ---

Alrighty. One half of the Jordan Love era, and he’s much like I thought when he came out of college. Inconsistent, struggles with accuracy, not great awareness, but some potential. I was hoping/expecting he’d be much better than he is so far. But we’re just 15 minutes into it. ---

This Dolphin/Chargers game is nuts. Neither team is playing too much defense (although LA picked off Tua in the end zone, and the Dolphins sacked Herbert at his own goal line on 3rd and long), but it’s been back and forth all game long. Tyreek Hill had 104 receiving yards in the first half, and just scored a touchdown to put Miami back up in the third quarter. ---

Oh hell, I don’t think the Bears are ever going to beat the Packers again. It’s as if they aren’t interested in that as a goal. ---

Here in Charlotte, all eyes were on Bryce Young. Yes, he threw 2 bad INTs and struggled, but I see something there. He showed some arm strength and some poise. I never noticed his height being an issue. He needs a true deep threat to keep defenses on their toes. ---

Statistically Love did better than Rodgers in his first game vs the Bears 😉 Brian ---

An offensive line would help too. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nfl-2023-week-one-man-leaves/989707.md?page=3) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nfl-2023-week-one-man-leaves/989707.md?page=5)
