NFL: ***OFFICIAL WEEK ONE THREAD***
- Thread starter jbindm
- Start date
Vike’s O line looks somewhat improved so far. Pass protection is a little iffy. And Riley Reiff is still out there flopping around like a carp on a riverbank of course.
Players are dropping like flies in this Chiefs/Jags game. Even Mahomes is kind of limping around a bit.
Falcons look like a team that didn't take the preseason seriously when they really needed to. New offensive coordinator, new OL, Julio Jones, while at camp, limited his participation while his contract was ironed out, and Ryan looks like a guy that hasn't thrown a football since last December. Not to mention this is really the first time the D has played together as a unit since so many of them were out with injury last year.
I get it, few NFL teams take the preseason seriously anymore, and I'm sure the Vikings took it about as seriously as anyone else. But the Falcons needed to, and instead sleep-walked through it, and today is the result.
I haven't ruled out looooong season yet, but at minimum it's probably going to be a rough September.
I also think Minnesota is decently legit if cook stays healthy
Plenty of room on the Browns' bandwagon after this effort. You never want to overreact to week one but they look bad today.
Yep... breaking news.... the Browns suck again. Baker has thrown picks on last two posssessions.
How long before that team completely implodes on itself with all their personalities? I'd say it's likely already started on the sidelines.
Eh, we'll see. Everyone always massively overreacts to what happens the first week. Maybe they bounce back and get the ship righted. But I'm not surprised they came out and laid an egg today. Too much hype.
Multiple Dolphins players told their agents to get them out of Miami after they got smacked by the Ravens today.

SKOL!!! I liked what I saw from the Vikings today, although it was a huge surprise Cousins only had 10 pass attempts. I have Thielen and Rudy on my fantasy team. Rudy didn't have a single catch....
I thought Elflien looked horrible at left guard. Bradbury and Kline both had solid games. And the defense was great.

That's not surprising. I don't think the Ravens are a playoff team this year either, so that makes the blowout loss even worse for Miami. I guess they really are looking to tank and build for the future.
I wouldnt tank for Tua, I would tank for Lawrence.
Almost everyone will be tanking for Lawrence. Might as well snatch Tua while they can. They won't have much competition for last place. Maybe Cincy or Oakland. Oakland could be looking to get a shiny new QB for their move to Vegas.
