The Packers being horribly outplayed and looking lethargic in their opener is getting to be a sure thing chiche at this point. I think this year it will be very telling about how good a coach Matt LaFleur really is. Rodgers is alienating some teammates and can seem disinterested at times. We will see if and how LaFleur gets this capsized ship right. Sure would help to have your starting tackles though. ---

So weird, but we’re still the Giants having screwed up an extra point. ---

Saints had a wacky and amazing comeback to beat the Falcons. I had turned off the game for about an hour, and turned it back on to see we’d made up a 16 point deficit. ---

Holy crap, huge fumble by the Titan Rookie might give the Giants a chance to steal the game. Or not ☹ ---

4th and 1 at the 2 minute warning. Can the Giants do it? ---

Not only did they score, they went for 2 and made it. What a game. Now they have to hold Tennessee for a minute… ---

I mean it looks like the Giants are about to lose, but even still, I think they have to be favored next week against the scrotty Panthers. That’s not going to help the quarterback situation next draft. There was exactly one play this game where Daniel Jones looked like a real quarterback to me. (I guess that touchdown pass late was a real quarterback play as well, so two.) ---

Kinda weird. NFC West is 0-3 today. The good news is that the Seattle Seahawks are now atop this division by virtue of not having lost yet. Gotta enjoy that while it lasts.
