Foles and McCoy made it look easy scoring on their opening drive.

Man, Tampa is the worst. Annoyed that the Eagles get to play them and we don't, but that's one of the benefits of finishing last.

I don't see how Tampa beats them that's a team in big trouble. Lewis looked pretty good up there in Buffalo

McCoy Fumble!!!

Rams up 7-0 on the Texans

Is spiking the football no longer a penalty on TDs? I could have sworn they were flagging that for awhile there, but I've not seen a single one thrown this year despite a ton of spikes.

 

[viman96]

I believe they changed that rule. The ball can not be used as part of a celebration but it can be spiked after scoring a TD.

Hey we get to play New Orleans.. for finishing third.

Rams up 10-0 over the Texans.

Raiders are pressuring and sacking Smith all the time, don't remember such a pass rush when we played the Chiefs...

 

[Wheeltax]

it is amazing to me that Aaron Rodgers hasn't had a serious injury this year or last. He has zero time.

Bucs up over Eagles 10-7, beginning of 2nd quarter.

Holy smokes. How do they call that a horse-collar tackle in NY?

 

[Nirvana]

Raiders finally have a qb

 

[DFWJC]

Go Bucs

I was so sure the VIkings and Peterson would have a great day - glad I did not bet on it.

 

[viman96]

Rams putting a beating on the Texans. 17-3.

Maybe it is just me but today's early games are boring

I think we sacked three times, but yeah, we just don't have the players to get a consistent rush. Ware, Hatch, Selvie (to a point), but not much after that. Oakland also did a much better job getting to a Rivers and covering their receivers than we did, too.

I noticed that CBS moved Cowher out of the studio and into the booth with Nantz and Sims, where he is absolutely no better. I wish they would just let him go, so it might encourage him to get back into coaching (not that I necessarily would want him here).
