Now I’ve seen everything, RG III is taking reps as a scout team safety?? Washington couldn’t be a bigger train wreck. What’s next? Cleaning the locker room toilets?
Well he’s already with subway who has a opening for a fat guy turned skinny guy. Maybe RGIII can gain 300 pounds and then lose it.
Also Why the hell aren’t they showing GB-CHI here? It’s a division game season opener![sub] and I have Rodgers in fantasy[/sub]
Mccown lasted one drive. It’s alcoholic time already. For fucks sake.
Hey, Johnny F. got the TD! First one!
But Manziel looked pretty good (for that one drive, anyway).
Also: the Browns are stupid. They got a penalty on the extra point, pushing it back 10 yards, making it a 38-yard try. Really they should have just gone for two right there, but ok, whatever. However, then they get another penalty on the re-kick, meaning a PAT try would have to be a 48-yarder … and they still kicked it! (It was good, btw.) That’s just dumb, though I expect that a lot of NFL teams are going to screw this up.
Gipson intercepted a pass intended for Marshall and Marshall just took it back. It was very “only in Cleveland”
Wouldn’t (after the first penalty) the 2 point conversion be spotted at the 12? You’re a lot more likely to make a 38 yard kick than to get in the end zone on one play from the 12 - never mind the 22.
Wilson to Lynch, no Trumaine Johnson picks it …
How do these passing rules work? The defender dives for the ball, grabs it low and rolls to his feet with the ball in his hands. Except, his momentum drove the ball into the turf. How is that not a trap? The player catching the ball is supposed to control it and keep it off the ground. I would have ruled that incomplete.
The Bears are taking a lead into halftime against Green Bay on opening day. This half of a game could be the high point of their whole season.
Yeah, that’s what I would think. They can’t wipe out the penalty just by changing the method of their try.
Buffalo up big on Indy, didn’t expect that.
Bills and Chiefs, nice.
Those Browns uniforms are possibly the worst of the modern era. Yuck.
Waiting for my Saints to open the season at Arizona in the second game…
Nah, that’s one of those things Marshall does that sucks you in and makes you love him. Did it more than once in Chicago. The guy is a horse.
Oh yeah. Duh.
Thank you Jay Cutler.
Strongly rooting against the Seahawks in the OT game. I’ve had just about enough of wacky Russell Wilson and egomaniac Lynch.
We’ll see. I had very low expectations going into this one and even though we lost and Cutler had a classic Cutler game (not handling the blitz in the red zone, interception on the deciding 4th quarter drive) I feel like the arrow is pointing up.
They looked professional, the game plan was right, Forte, Bennett, Jeffery and Royal all played solid games, the Long experiment at RT had a lot more good than bad in it, and the defense was much more competent than it had any business being.
Still a lot of holes in the roster and we have no depth, but Green Bay had to make some highlight reel plays to earn this one. I don’t think we’re going to be a sub 6 win team this year, which I think a lot of people felt was in the cards.
The whole AFC East won. Amazing.
