Weather delay at SoFi tonight? That seems a little weird considering it is a dome.

Bizarre....as Steve Young said...lightning doesnt go sideways.

There is a large open area in the ends that is exposed to outdoors, but is covered above.

NFL being overly careful here IMO.

“Remember that episode of fresh Prince of bel air?” If that’s where we’re at, they should just cut the mic’s and wait in silence for the game to start.

Could not have been more wrong about Herbert, thought he'd be another Oregon QB bust and instead it looks like it was Oregon that was holding him back.

Ths Charger defense is legit.

8 mins left in the 2nd Q and the Raiders have 40 yds of offense... a single 1st down.

Chargers should not be in LA. They need to be back in San Diego where at least half the stadium will cheer for them rather than against.

Yeah, this basically feels like a road game. Still so weird the Raiders didn't end up there, given they're still the most popular football team in L.A.

The Rams at least can pretend they are now, though a Rams/Raiders game in this stadium would sound the same I think..

Staley has shown some big stones this year with fourth down calls.

Still early as we're not even at the quarter poll yet. You don't win the Super bowl in these first 4 weeks, and we've seen 1-5 teams rally to make the playoffs twice in the last 7 years so a lot can still change. Especially in an odd 17 game season where you now get an extra week.

These are the teams that I'm buying as being likely Division winners if they can keep their QB's healthy.

Bills no one else in that Division can touch them. Might be AFC top dog
Cowboys The Offence is top tier, and the defence is much improved
Buccaneers Not dominant, but experienced in the Marathon
Packers So much better at QB than anyone else in the Division...this year

Teams who I see as playoff teams but not sure if they can win their Division because of competition.

Browns Can Baker Mayfield do enough, the rest of the team is solid
Ravens Resilient well coached team is overcoming a lot of injuries
Chargers Look to be the best of the AFC West, lots of talent
Cardinals They tend to start fast and fade off, but look really good thus far
Rams Still a very solid team but lost their first Division home game

The Titans pretty much get the AFC South by default, even if they're a mediocre team.

Teams who should compete for playoff spots

Raiders Good start but could be 1-3 if breaks go the other way in OT
Broncos Defence is legitimate, but can they keep Teddy B Healthy
Chiefs Offence can score, but horrific defence and a lot of turnovers so far
Bengals Emerging young QB in a tough Division off to a good start
49'ers Always fighting the injury bug, will Trey Lance spark them
Seahawks Always in the mix for a playoff with a solid team
Panthers Have been solid on both sides of the ball need a healthy CMC
Saints Look to be a solid team at times on D, but a bit inconsistent on O
WFT Have some under rated weapons on O, D is not performing

Teams who might hang around
Colts it's a terrible Division and they're only one game back
Bears Always mocked but if Fields can improve they could win 9 games
Vikings Have pieces on offence but seem to lack ability to finish games

Teams who are sub-mediocre
Dolphins The Tua injury and lack of offensive pieces will hold them back
Patriots Capable of playing tough, but still rebuilding the roster
Steelers Likley the last year for Ben, probably rally to win 9 but never in it
Eagles Look to have the QB unsure about coaching and problems on D
Giants More often than not find a way to come up short

Bad teams who will be bad
Jets In time they might break out but lots of damage for Saleh to undo
Jags They have the QB. They don't have the coach or D, or line. lots to add
Texans It's a mess and will be until they can solve the Watson issue
Falcons Somehow still going downhill 5 years later
Lions The highlight of their year is losing on a 66 yard Field Goal.

To me there are 2 teams who are playoff locks at this point. Bills and Cowboys because they respective divisions are absolute crap.

The Chiefs, Rams, and Bucs are probably locks barring catastrophic injuries.

Well good thing it's a holiday weekend here because a quick glance at the week 5 schedule shows a lot of really bad games. Jets-Falcons, Vikings-Lions, Titans-Jags, Pats-Texans, Dolphins-Bucs, Giants-Cowboys, like just awful.

I will say that at least two or three of those games will probably be close and somewhat exciting as the Giants usually play the Cowboys close and the Jets-Falcons are comparable teams.

It's a rare week where the Thursday Night game is one of the top two games on paper. And that Jets-Falcons game is a London game, league really does seem intent on not growing the game over there with the consistent turd games they get.
