Shite for the most part. OL struggled against their pass rush & Brady was made to hurry too often. They did a very good job shutting down Gronk. The WRs weren’t a factor. A game like this, I feel Edelman/Dola would’ve made a difference.

Bortles played very well but our D was poor for 90% of the game. Had a period where we got a couple of turnovers late 3rd/early 4th but didn’t capitalise & didn’t get in his face consistently. Flowers’ concussion didn’t help.

Also Brady ‘ran’ for a first down. Worth watching :lol:

Doesn’t sound great!

But we tend to start slow and hopefully we will improve with Edelman back in a couple games.
 
You getting that from this game? Out of it so far seemingly....8 receptions for like 20 yards lol, epic PPR pointage.
 
Yeah, he looks a real deal to be fair. Just Eli.....man Odell and Barkley....both will probably pull a Megatron/Sanders then come out of retirement when Eli(te) finally retires.
 
manning is averaging 3.9 yards per dropback. barkley is averaging 3.7 yards per carry. the giants are getting shut out by a not very good team. gee, its almost as if using the 2nd overall pick on a running back was a poor decision
 
Cardinals man just how bad is that team , 90 yards passing and they crossed the midline once all game. Why are these teams drafting Qb and RB with first pick when they have so many weaknesses
 
Big credit to Maholmes for breaking the TD record in his second start (I think).
 
Which record is that ?
Most TDs in first two weeks of the season (10). Previously held by Manning, Brees and another QB from the '60s.

Not the most in any two weeks though, Big Ben holds that record with 12.

Ahh right. Didn't even know there was such a record. Great start from Mahomes though.
 
Phillip Lindsay is the first undrafted rookie in NFL history with 100-plus scrimmage yards in each of his first two games.

He's a good fit for #30

That's quite an accomplishment for an undrafted player. Looks like Elway has found a diamond in the rough.
 
2-0 for my Dolphins. Having Tannehill back has improved us so much, even if he isn't an elite qb.
In our last 10 games with Tannehill at QB we're 9-1. He just works so well in Gase's system.

Letting star players like Landry and Suh go in the off season was a huge gamble but I think it's paying off. Gase now has a locker room he trusts and it seems like morale is much better this season. Season is still young and there's plenty of time for it to all go wrong but I must say this is probably the most confidence I've had in the Dolphins in years.

Going in to the season I had really low expectations but having watched us the past 2 games I am liking what I have seen so far. Tannehill is playing at the high level he did when we got to the playoffs a few years ago. Long may it continue!
 
Vikings expected to sign Dan Bailey.

Who saw that coming?!
 
Wentz back next week . Tbf to Foles he played really well and I think that Wentz will struggle with so many injuries on offense
 
Much needed WR help. Would help if he could play more than 1 game :lol:
 
It’ll be nice to see what Gordon does in the 2 or so games he plays.
 
Pat's getting Gordon ffs

Fair to say the Cooks trade hasn't worked for us. We needed WR help & we’ve got it.

From a Browns perspective, I don’t understand this trade. Surely he’s fecked up somehow & they expect a suspension of sorts?!

The Browns want draft picks so this will work out for them since they are still in rebuild mode. Landry is a 100 catch receiver (who they didn't have last year) who will make up for any lost production, as well whatever Higgins, Callaway, NJoku and others pitch in.

Jules is back week 5 and we’ll be moving the chains like normal
