NFL Week 4 recap

Thursday:

LIONS 34, PACKERS 20

Okay, 4 weeks in you do probably have to give it up to the Lions. They're the best team in the north so far. This game really wasn't even as close as the score. Jordan Love was awful. The Lions defense was pretty good. 

Sunday:

JAGUARS 23, FALCONS 7

The London Jags easily dispatched the Falcons and their bumbling sophomore QB Desmond Ridder. 

BRONCOS 31, BEARS 28

In the week's other clash of winless teams, Denver spent a half making Justin Fields look elite, before staging a 21 point rally to steal a win. 

BILLS 48, DOLPHINS 20

Buffalo, whose week 1 loss looks like the fluke of the year, made a huge statement by making it clear that they are still the big dog in the AFC East, turning an early track meet into a laugher. 

EAGLES 34, COMMANDERS 31

A hell of an effort by the Commies, rallying for a tying TD at the buzzer (should have gone for 2) only to then fall in OT on a long field goal. 

RAVENS 28, BROWNS 3

Cleveland had to start a mid-round rookie instead of Mr. Massage, and had no chance as the Ravens cruised. Baltimore is clearly the division favorite. 

TEXANS 30, STEELERS 6

Don't sleep on the Texans. That's 2 straight blowout wins over decent teams. CJ Stroud is playing well. Steelers lost Kenny Pickett. 

BUCCANEERS 26, SAINTS 9

Derek Carr actually suited up for the Saints, but it didn't matter. He stunk, and Tampa cruised. The Bucs might win that division with ease now that they have a real quarterback. 

RAMS 29, COLTS 23 OT

Rams grabbed a big lead. Colts made a big comeback. Another big game for wunderkind Puka Nacua. 

TITANS 27, BENGALS 3

Man, the Bengals stink so far. Another terrible game by Joe Burrow, and this time their defense got trucked too. 

CHARGERS 24, RAIDERS 17

Brandon Staley again goes for a 4th and 1 in his own end late in the game and doesn't pay for it. Raiders probably win with Garappolo. 

COWBOYS 38, PATRIOTS 3

After a baffling loss to Arizona, Dallas goes back to beating the snot out of opponents, this time hanging the most lopsided loss of his career onto Bill Belichick. 

49ERS 35, CARDINALS 16

Another blowout win for the 49ers. Until Brock Purdy stumbles you have to say this is the best team in the NFC. 

CHIEFS 23, JETS 20

The Jets defense caused Mahomes some problems and kept the Jets in the game. But Zach Wilson couldn't get them to the upset.

Monday:

SEAHAWKS 24, GIANTS 3

Seattle got 11 sacks on Daniel Jones, and destroyed the Giants, who have been outscored 64-3 in 2 home games so far.

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...
