Man those Browns uniforms are hideous. The Jets appear to be an entirely different team this year. Amazing what a difference adding a journeyman QB and bringing in a couple legit skill position guys can be. ---

Welcome to the NFL Jameis. Glad to see you brought your propensity for turnovers. ---

The Bengals-Raiders game is really chippy. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a full-fledged brawl break out at this one. ---

Pretty nice first NFL game, Mr. Mariotta. ---

The Panthers won a game they should have won. Newton played a pretty efficient game. Some of the scrub WRs had egregious drops or the offense would have produced more. The defense looked pretty good. Hopefully Kuechly won’t miss much time. A road win to start the season is always good. ---

Terrell Suggs is out for the year with a torn Achilles. Eagles fans are not going to acquit themselves well with this news. ---

Not sure why you’d say that. One player’s bullshit does not a whole organization make. This “The Bengals are such criminals!” meme needs to die. This isn’t 2006 anymore and the “one man crime wave” responsible for at least half of all those arrests in those days, Chris Henry, is dead. There are other organizations with way, WAY more arrests than the Bengals within the last several years. Cincinnati has had 10 arrests in the last five years and are in the middle of the pack in that regard.
