NFL Week 2 recap

Sunday:

FALCONS 25, PACKERS 24

Well well well. After week 1 everybody wanted to anoint Jordan Love, but now his Packers go out and lose to a rather bumbling Atlanta team that had often shoddy QB play and some atrocious redzone playcalling. 

SEAHAWKS 37, LIONS 31 OT

Well well well. After week 1 everybody wanted to anoint the Lions, but now they go out and blow their home opener to a team that had just been blown out the week before. Jared Goff threw a pick six. The Lions defense remains putrid when the other team bothers to catch a ball occasionally. 

BUCCANEERS 27, BEARS 17

Well well well. Justin Fields was supposed to be a darkhorse MVP candidate this year according to the hype machine. Instead he has been terrible in 2 games. Tampa beat us in a game we gave away, and now this win. Fraudulent Tampa wins? It's like Brady is still there. 

CHIEFS 17, JAGUARS 9

The Chiefs got back Kelce and Jones, but were still decidedly middling. KC starts slow sometimes, so it's probably not anything major yet but may be worth watching. 

RAVENS 27, BENGALS 24

Another bad Joe Burrow game drops the Bengals to 0-2. Lamar Jackson looks good so far, and the Ravens have asserted themselves early now as division favorites. 

BILLS 38, RAIDERS 10

Buffalo getting back on track in a big way was the easiest call of the week. 

TITANS 27, CHARGERS 24 OT

The Chargers blew an early lead, then came back just to fall in OT. Sets up a desperation showdown at the purple palace next week. 

COLTS 31, TEXANS 20

Anthony Richardson showed out again early, then got hurt again. That's 2 injuries in 2 games. 

49ERS 30, RAMS 23

The 49ers continued their regular season ownership of the Rams. That team has just so many weapons, and so far Purdy is not having a sophomore slump. 

GIANTS 31, CARDINALS 28

Stunningly the tanking Cardinals had a pair of 21 point leads in this game, but then they remembered the plan and let Daniel Jones lead the biggest Giants comeback in many decades. 

COWBOYS 30, JETS 10

Game 1 post-Aaron was mostly a disaster for the Jets, as Dallas crushed them. Zach Wilson's days are numbered. 

COMMANDERS 35, BRONCOS 33

Sean Payton and his butthole mouth gagged away its 2nd straight home game, and in this one they had a 21-3 lead on a nothing Commies team. Then Denver somehow gets a miracle hail mary at the end only to fail on the 2 point try. 

DOLPHINS 24, PATRIOTS 17

Tua and company handle the Pats with relative ease, although that last 4th down play was kind of neat. First 0-2 start for the Pats since the cursed 2001. 

Monday:

SAINTS 20, PANTHERS 17

Adam Thielen caught a TD for the Panthers, but it was too late to get the win over the supremely unimpressive Saints. 

STEELERS 26, BROWNS 22

The Steelers didn't look good on offense at all, but Mr. Massage gave them a pick six and a late fumble return TD. Browns also lost Nick Chubb to one of the most gruesome injuries I've ever seen.

Message Board Classics: 2004 NFL Season

Preseason kickoff post (and other posts): Oh yes, it IS that time again. Training camps are open. The first preseason games are less than a week away. Players are already being idiots. It's the best time of the sports year. It is not yet the time for predictions, but I'll hit on some of the big recent stories. Ricky Williams retires. Well, we know now he did so cuz he was gonna be suspended for using marijuana. He's a little shit as far as I'm concerned. You do not abandon your team when he did. He had every right to retire, but do it at least before the draft. He's left the Dolphins with zero chance of making the playoffs. They couldn't go get Eddie George or Antowain Smith, nor could they draft a RB. The Cowboys cut Quincy Carter. I spent all offseason pleading with Dallas to go get a QB like Warner or Collins or Garcia. Instead they fail to upgrade, and now take a step back. Vinny is 80 years old and has little if anything left. My prediction is that Drew Hen...

Awful NFL season ends with awful Super Bowl

BUCCANEERS 31 CHIEFS 9 The 2020 NFL season is over. Thank god! A season that was almost across the board unenjoyable, and felt empty and largely felt manipulated, ended with the worst outcome imaginable. With a result that not only continues this 20 year nightmare but that will frankly hurt the NFL for years to come. I was not looking forward to this game. I knew this was going to happen. Maybe not in blowout fashion but I knew the NFL was going to see to it that Tom Brady got his 7th title. The house wins. The game was never fun. Right from the start the Chiefs seemed sleepy, like they weren't really in it. This team plays with swagger, but in this game they had none. Patrick Mahomes was under enormous pressure from the start. The Chiefs grabbed the 1st lead at 3-0 but then from basically the end of the 1st quarter until halftime it was a nightmare. The Chiefs offense remained lifeless. The Chiefs defense did manage a goal line stand that at the moment seemed like it could be a tu...
