I watched the GB/Jax game, which I expected to be lopsided, but it came down to the last 20 seconds (and some very ticky-tacky officiating combined with blown calls). It could very easily have gone the other way, which is crazy. If this isn't a fluke, then Jax has really improved their talent on both sides of the ball, but especially on defense.



I have both Derek Carr and Cam Newton on my fantasy team, and benched Newton because of Denver's D. Turns out I made the right call, lol. :D

Speaking of Carolina, I think their obituary is a little premature. Week 1 facing probably the best defense in the league is a hard way to start.

Yeah the Raiders have a solid roster overall, and they should climb the division a bit I would expect.



For an offensive unit that "couldn't score a touchdown" in the preseason the Lions sure made that look easy.

Still plenty of time for heartbreak but so far I like what I see.

Having Dan Bailey in FF is like having a cheat code lol.



This Lions-Colts game is going exactly as I thought, a shootout.

And of course we miss the extra point......

Despite losing, I felt pretty good about that game. It literally came down to Williams making a bonehead mistake of not getting OOB to let Bailey try his leg rifle again. With key players still not available on the defense and a 4th round draft pick playing his first NFL game, it was down to the final play and a single point. NYG just spent $200M in free agency and weren't missing any key pieces, so I think this was a very solid showing. I expect Dallas and the Giants to be leading and battling for the division down the stretch, too much talent out there not to.

Zeke I thought wasn't prepared for today, and if Morris was getting the start might have actually been enough of a difference to win the game.
