I also jinxed Stonehouse because they got a punt blocked too 😛 still going to be the best punter in the known universe, for whatever that is worth hahaha. Okonkwo caught a weird TD pass though, so my tip paid off if you wanted a, I assume, cheap tight end in fantasy lol.

@Ravix Not into the fantasy FB thing lately, but that’s a good tip. In my opinion the tight end position is key on a fantasy team. And the elite TE’s go really early in the draft. So you either have to reach and waste an early pick, or get lucky.

Anyone wanting to save a few pennies that already subs to NBA League Pass remember to "cancel" your sub before it restarts this month for a nice little discount.
It has to be the best value sub going, regardless, but they have increased the price a small amount this season 🏀🏀
Back to NFL. Any good televised games this week. I'm now using the forum as the best way to plan if I watch any 😁
Also, how is Tua, I know he got another concussion on Thursday, although it was almost as if he had one going in the way he was playing, the timing was off with his recievers, for sure 😬 but that is just speculation, and more likely the receivers faults.

Yeah of all the ones mentioned already I think Bengals going to KC would be the one I was most interested in. Also think the later game with The Bears @ Texans could be fun.

@Th3solution oh wow, that bad 😬 was he trialing the new helmet at all this season? I've only seen it mentioned in passing, so not sure how much it helps anyway.

I'm honestly so grateful for Redzone, especially early on when there is still hope around teams that will probably vanish from the conversation in a few weeks. I tend to Redzone live and then rewatch games through the week that hold interest. Like I'm currently watching Bucs / Commanders. I also rewatched Jets / Niners and Lions / Rams already.
However, if you want to focus on individual games and are mostly a casual fan (not meaning that in a derogatory sense, just in the sense that you are n't salivating at the prospect of Darnold going against Shanahan in a game which outside of narrative might not be very good), you can't really go wrong with Bucs Lions which will probably be a fun shootout. Chiefs Bengals should be good if its true that Burrow really isn't hurt and Texans / Bears is fun because we watching potentially the defining two QBs of the league in the decade to come going at it.
Some pretty surprising upsets this week, think I could have made some serious money betting on the Lions, Niners and Cowboys to all lose! However the biggest shocker, for me, is how many points the Saints have scored in the first two games... Did anybody see that coming!?
“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”
@sorteddan Oh yeah, it was a weird week. The parity in the NFL makes for some surprises, indeed.
I’m not really a true believer in the Lions or the Cowboys, but I am surprised that San Fran faltered already. My other NFC preseason prediction was the Eagles to do well, so we’ll see tonight if they fall apart also.
The Saints are really a surprise. Carr and Kamara are both playing at a really high level. I’m not sure it will hold up through the year once defenses start to have some tape on Kubiak’s schemes.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
I am pretty sure the Niners lost both CMC and Kittle by the end of that game, with each piece lost the Niners get worse since Purdy is basically just a marionette on Shanahan's strings. Deebo seems to lose time every season to an injury as well, so its possibly only going to get worse for the Niners. I guess bad news for everyone else is if they get everyone back and healthy by like mid October, and assuming they haven't lost every game between now and then, they may end up making the playoffs anyway cause the NFC is just kinda shallow overall.
So the Eagles go down to the Falcons and I forgot to mention the Raiders beating Ravens in my other post it was certainly a gameweek for the underdogs.
At least we can always rely on Carolina being rubbish.
“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”
@sorteddan Yeah, surprised by some of these results. Eagles are letting me down also. My pre-season picks so far are looking bleak. Kansas City is still on the winning edge, but just barely. Losing Pacheco might prove to be a problem for them too.
The lack of major dynasties in today’s NFL (KC aside) is credited for the popularity of the league. Fans of any team can come into each season with hope because good teams can’t stay good for long and bad teams can turn things around really quickly.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
Man, hard to make much sense of the early NFL season. I really don’t know who to believe in. There’s not a lot of consistency. It’s only 3 games but very few teams have played well three times in a row.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
As a Chargers fan, time to sim to next season I think. Herbert, Slater, Alt and Bosa all hurt in that Steelers game. As of typing I have no idea what the extent of those injuries are, but based on initial reporting in the game it seems like getting some of these guys back is at best case scenario gonna be around the end of October / beginning of November, but we could be looking well beyond that. I think we kinda knew the Chargers were a house of cards this season, but it really became evident when Slater went out and the offence just absolutely nose dived. I hope at least once in my life I get to watch a Chargers season play out that isn't altered by Herbert getting injured.
@Pizzamorg I know they say “injuries are part of the game” but it is frustrating how an injury (or two, or ten) can just ruin an entire season for a team.
The injury bug has hit several teams already. I’m not sure why, but it seems like players get injury a lot more regularly in recent years.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
I suppose that is fair @Th3solution but when its always your QB who is basically 90% of the reason your team even works to begin with, its just so frustrating. You look at the opposite extreme, Stafford is working with an offence that is like 90 percent third stringers (or worse) cause they have been absolutely decimated on the injury front and is still pulling wins over the biggest teams in the league cause you got your elite QB still in there. And I suppose its funny cause their opponents, the Niners, are like the third scenario where you build a team that is basically QB agnostic but then all the weapons start getting hurt, your QBs lack of elite skills in any one area are exposed and they can't carry.
