Looks like my Steelers are going to make me look good with that Super Bowl prediction.

Browns are right back in it. Steelers need to open up the offense again, quit trying to run out the clock.

Joe Flacco elite

Every early game blowout has become close.

Got Cam as my QB in a fantasy league we can't just add drop whenever, and I have no backup because it was said for sure he would find a way to play, guess not!

Really ready for an Indy/Denver game. Should be one of the better games of the season IMHO.

Always scared of what Lions team will show up week 1.

I get that the Rams are the absolute bollocks, but the Vikings haven't done this to anybody in five years, minus that one crazy game when Joe Webb beat the Eagles by himself.

Mike Zimmer is a stud.

Bengals survive.

Defense looked like crap without Burfict, who hit Flacco so hard that he gave himself a concussion

BKH, I feel for you having to, eventually, cheer on Bridgewater. I've always had trouble pulling for ex-Cards, and couldn't imagine my team being QBed by one. Bitter sweet, I'm sure.

I can separate college from pro. I booed Jamal Mashburn on the Heat and Rajon Rondo on the Celtics. I can cheer for Teddy Bridgewater when his number eventually gets called.

As others have said on this network before, kid's dope.

If he can help the Vikings win, I don't care who he played for in the past.

Very impressed and happy with the Titans outing today. Arrowhead is not an easy place to go in and pull off a convincing win. Locker looks like a new man. Just waiting for him to trip on his own shoelaces and shred his knee again. Its coming. Overall, very happy with what I'm seeing thus far with the team. Looked great in 3-4 defense. Lot of stupid penalties from the Dline, but they made up for it in great play.

Good lord, the cowboys look like hot, moldy garbage.

Great win, would not surprise me if we lost the next 3 though...as I think KC's O was just blah. That said, I said in the pre-season I'd be happy with 2-2 after 4 and I think we can get to that, but still gonna be tough with Dallas (despite their issues they will score at will on us if we do not watch it), @ Cincy and @ Indy to start the season. Definitely need to win next week.

15 yard penalty.

Long season for the Steelers? 1-0, and won 4 straight going back to last season and 9 of last 13. They're healthy too for once.

Here's a wild stat: today marks the first time in Brady's career that the Patriots have sole possession of last place. How freaking wild is that??

My Jets got the win, even if it was the Raiders. Running game looks good, Geno looks improved. A little more optimistic now, especially that the Pats really did not look good.

Just wait til they pull the trick plays out. They've been working on new ones for you. The ninja kick wasn't one.

The Cowboys are a damn train wreck. They'll score, but not much and their defense is atrocious. I never count on a win in Indy, no matter what, you CAN count on getting hosed by the officials in that place. Cincy game will tell us a lot about where we are. But you've got to come away from today's game feeling good about Locker and the defense. I mean, they kept f'img Jamal Charles to 16 total yards on the ground. That's unbelievable.

Yep I'm regretting blowing a big *** chunk of change on great seats for the Titans game. They only come to Nashville every 8 years. So I thought WTH? Now I'm thinking WTH did I do?

Gif in actual speed.


Rams used a 2nd to move up to take a shrimp WR in Tavon Austin instead of staying where they were to take Patterson. Job-costing type of mistake. They also passed on Bridgewater this past draft.

They are scouting QBs to take in the top 5 next spring and I will have free Sundays. Can just devote more time to CBB.

Playing golf in the fall is very underrated.

Hoping the Bengals can go 3-2 in the Falcons, Titans, @Patriots, Panthers, @ Colts stetch. I kinda hope both the Colts and Patriots have a losing record coming into those games.

This team needs to take the step that a squad with a top 5 offense and defense should and get a damn playoff bye.

I have an inside source that works for the Steelers organization so you can believe me when I say that they have been working on the "ninja kick" technique ever since mini-camps. Effective move that is sure to strike fear in kickers across the league...15yrd penalty be damned.

Great first weekend for the NFL...and we have two games to go tonight. Love the MNF two-fer...wish they did it all season. I look for the Lions to steam roll the Giants but I think the 10pm game has the potential of being the best game of the week. I like the Bolts in a close one...maybe even OT.

AFC North: Bengals appear to be the best team but not sure how much the injuries to Eifert and Burfict. The Steelers are clearly the next best in the division, followed by Baltimore and Cleveland. Bengals and Steelers don't play until December so it'll be interesting to see how it works out until then. I'm guessing both are 7-5 when they play.

The Giants can't lose enough. I hope they get waxed by the Lions tonight. They talked so much **** yesterday about Dallas, Buffalo, New England and the Jets, before even playing their game, and coming off a train wreck of a season.

I hope Eli tosses 4 Pick-Sizzles and we get to see that stupid "Manning Face" of his all three hours..

Clearly? It took a last second FG to beat the Browns. I'm not sure the Ravens aren't better than the Steelers. I'm not saying they are, either. I sure don't think either is clearly better than the other, though.

Memphis, all of the Detroit peeps here in my office are really high on the Lions this year. I think they will score a ton of points but I hope their defense fails them again.

You need to latch on to an Oil Heiress with a quickness.

That's the plan. Even if she is in her 60's.

I think the Ravens are a mess - Flacco has beome an average at best QB and without Rice, their offense isn't good at all. The Steelers, when healthy are a much better team. I think a healthy Steelers are just as good as the Bengals, but we'll just have to see.
