It's weird more people aren't in favor of that possible streak.

I can understand that they might be out to prove something after a loss like this. If not for 3 first half ints, 2 missed FGs, and not challenging a TD catch, they would've run away with this game.

So why doesn't Rodgers elevate the play of the mediocre and young players around him?

Shuddup boy.

Burrow showed the rust of not playing or practicing enough pre season.

Did I read right and they missed the XP to win the game in additon to a missed FG in OT?

That bitterly fought win over Cinci proved costly for Pitt: just announced Watt tore his pec. Could put him out for most of the year I'd think.

 

[Ekspozed]

I don't think we'll be able to overcome that

Yes, AND about a 35 yarder in OT to win it too. They gave the game away

It's convenient hindsight I know, but week 1 is always like this. Packers got destroyed last year week 1, and the Lions dropped 33 on the 49ers if you remember that. Lots of teams looked off today. That'll smooth out as the season progresses.

I didn't love it, but Ugly wins are better than moral victories.

Yeah that’s a game the Eagles probably lose early last season. I think the defense needs time. Hopefully they don’t figure it out until after week 6 .

Can't judge any team when their starters don't play in preseason, you end up with sloppy football

I agree but remember that during our game tonight......

Kyzir White, James Bradberry, and AJ Brown definitely made a difference on the outcome yeah

Steelers do fear Watt tore his pec according to nfl network.

 

[The Natural]

The Giants absolutely suck

Why do the stats of a game disappear after the damn game iis over on nfl.com? It will say no stats available.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Wow, Herbert absolutely wussed out at the goal line there.

The system they use for game in progress and recap are different, they have to transfer it. Game in progress is byte-intensive Flash media, they want to drop that as soon as they are able.

 

[ChronicCowboy]

They did: torn pec. He dominated Collins all day long but in the end got hurt. Don't think he's very durable, kinda like his bro. Not taking a shot, just making an observation

Steelers fans would trade this win for a healthy TJ all day. Both teams lost in Cincy today.

They are not going to figure it out. Their DC is clueless.

They don't have elite talent on defense either. It is a collection of meh.

Those rookies can easily come around. I’m hopeful the defense doesn’t gel but I think that’s unlikely.
