The Game Room

In Week 3, Atlanta destroyed the Pack on Thursday, and the undefeated Bills kept the Chargers winless. The Browns won their second straight, while the Colts got their first win at the expense of Houston, who is 0-3. Titans are also without a win, as are the Rays, who lost their QB Baker Mayfield to a thumb injury. Commanders got their first win while handing Seattle their first loss, and the Ravens won a thriller over the Boys in Rio. Chiefs, Raiders, Vikings, and Niners are all 3-0. Broncos won a nailbiter over the Rams on Sunday night, and the Bears handed the Eagles their first loss on Monday night.

I’m a lot less comfortable about this than I would have been before last weekend.

3

Have you seen the Chargers this year? Their offense is…not good.

4

Neither are the Commanders, but if your team “spots” them 21 points, then it doesn’t really matter.

Seattle lost a game by 2 points when the other team scored 21 directly (or almost directly) off of turnovers.

If they don’t clean something up, and if Darnold and Price can’t stop being “good neighbors” and giving the ball away to be friendly, I can’t feel confident about any game right now.

5

Browns are 7-0 on Thursday night football in their last 7 games and 7-1 in their last 8 home games against the Steelers. Of course whatever happened in 2020 doesn’t really have an impact on what happens this week, but those are almost certainly better stats than almost anyone would expect.

EDIT: Wrong thread.

Um…shouldn’t that be the Buccaneers? The Rays are the baseball team.

8

That’s insulting the Rays!

9

I’d watch the Rays play against an NFL team. I’d even let them keep their bats.

10

Wonder if the overseas overkill has finally begun?

11

Jeebus, I am getting fucking old.

Does somebody else want to post these weekly threads?!?

12

I dunno, the story is more interesting the way you told it.

13

Your OPs are always very good. And you got the team name right when you posted the schedule so it’s not like you had no idea what the team was called. :laughing:

14

If you mention the Baltimore Colts, you’re fired! :zany_face:

15

Long live the Decatur Staleys! :wink:

16

The Cardinals can move back to Chicago. Instant rivalry with the Hammond Bears.

17

And the Oakland Senors!

18

Ah yes, the Morgan Athletic Club, or if you’re fancy, the Racine Normals.

I’d love if they wore these as throwback uniforms:

19

The American Football League began in 1960. Two of the original teams were the aforementioned Oakland Senors and the Dallas Texans. The Senors, of course, became the Raiders, while the Texans moved to Kansas City after one season and became the Chiefs. Both teams have been in the same division for every year of their existence.

This season, both teams started 3-0. This is the first time in history that this has happened–both teams undefeated after 3 games.

This Sunday, the Chiefs travel to Vegas to play the Raiders. So, barring a tie, one of them will suffer their first loss of the season.

How about the Los Angeles Rams?

Old timers will get it.
