Skins have a chance to be at .500 since they are playing the Browns when they were so close to being 0-3.
After dodging three bullets three weeks in a row, the Ravens will get their first loss this week to the Raiders

Colts and Jags playing in London with 9:30am ET kick. I’m not sure why this is still a thing. I can’t see the NFL actually expanding to Europe and I don’t think the people there really care.

I don’t think no one is waking up early to see that trashy game

Well they were co-broadcasted on both CBS and NFL network the second half of last year, then the first few games this year. I thought this was the new normal.

People who love sport love sport. And fricken east coast games sgtart at 10:00 am in the civilized western time zones.

I would go to a plus size strip club for women over 50 before watching one second of Colts vs Jags:D

Cowboys should not have any issues with the Bengals. They look very beatable

Miami sucks. They might not have beaten U of Miami tonight.
Of course my opponent in the SDMB league had the Cincy D and Mike Nugent starting. Of course.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but tomorrow is October 1. That means a month of player uniforms looking like someone puked Pepto Bismol all over them.

Packers get a bye early in the season. Some notable players need some healing, but I’m guessing most would want the bye later.

It was mentioned in the week 3 thread that Josh Gordon has voluntarily entered rehab. This announced one week before he would have been eligible to return to the Browns. You have to believe there is more to this story. Possibly another failed test? So frustrating watching guys waste talent like that. Good for him getting help, but I suspect any hopes of a return are dashed.

There was a crazy, untrue rumor on some of the blogs that Gordon was caught at the airport with a large quantity of marijuana. That proved incorrect. However, there’s got to be more as Hue Jackson said he’s closing the book on Gordon.
