I don’t understand the Suh foul? I admit he is a dirty fucker but from the angle I saw it look like what I would consider a clean block. His helmet was in front of the blockee and at waist height. ---

The Bears look like crap today. This is the offense they’ve been raving about? ---

His helmet was in front of the blockee and at waist height. I just heard a halftime update on the radio, so the details and validity are irrelevent to me. Suh don’t get benefits of doubt. ---

The Bears defense gets three turnovers, Cutler makes a stupid throw to go with some nice ones, and the Bears get a win against a team that shoots themselves in the foot. ---

The Bears defense gets three turnovers, Cutler makes a stupid throw to go with some nice ones, and the Bears get a win against a team that shoots themselves in the foot. Yeah, the Bears offense only clicked on a couple drives. A personal foul on the Bengals’ side clinches the Bears win. ---

**SAINTS WIN!**. Any win is nice, but a season opening win over the Dirty Birds is awesome. ---

Great finish in New Orleans. Got a good one going in Buffalo now too. ---

Jets game is oddly compelling, but they may have just lost on the last completion. ---

So, it’s not like it mattered much, the Steelers were going to lose anyway, but I don’t understand how head coaches can be paid so much, and still not be able to do simple math. Steelers run a play that ends with 2:02 left on the clock in the 4th quarter and they call a timeout (their last) before the 2 minute warning. Of course, their next play is an incomplete pass, so the clock would have stopped anyway. If they had let the clock run to the two minute warning, and then run their play, the incomplete pass play would have left the clock with 1:55 or so remaining + a timeout. Instead, they’re left at 2:00 remaining with 0 timeouts. So, their timeout was worth 5 seconds in this instance. With the play clock being 40 seconds, that seems an awful poor use of a timeout to me. ---

It’s my birthday and the 49ers are getting me shredded cheese as my gift. 🙂 Too bad I’m stuck at work and will have to watch the game off my DVR later. I hope the sports bar next door doesn’t give away too much. ---

The Browns are tied for first in the AFCN. Aside from that, I got nothing. ---

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a garbage time drive take 40 real time minutes like this. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nfl-week-1/668059.md?page=3) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nfl-week-1/668059.md?page=5)
