Anyone have Sam Darnold starting 12/12 on their bingo card?

Might be a week one overreaction, but pretty sure David Tepper is the worst owner in sports history.

Ugh. If the receivers could hold on to a ball. Hoping for some 2nd half adjustments

Every week 1 is totally unpredictable in terms of which teams are still getting up to speed and still look jerky and disorganized. In this case the Bears clearly fall into the latter category while the Titans, surprisingly, especially on the offensive side, are smooth as butter. I don't think there's any reason to panic if you're a Bears fan, from what I've seen; unless you were one of those homers who thought they were going to win the NFC North.

I mean Caleb has also missed some throws he has to make. It's a team effort of not good so far.

Caleb isn't missing throws the way Bryce Young is missing throws. Caleb is missing because of timing - not being used to the speed in real time. That, to me, is not a cause for concern, unless it's still a problem in week 5.

Hey look, it's the Bungles! The Bungles are back!

... Also, I absolutely love the new kickoff rules.

He looks like a rookie. Some bad awareness too on these sacks. But Bryce already looks like the biggest bust ever, so good news for Caleb is he can't possibly be that bad.

I have a suspicion that they've basically told him, "don't worry about taking a sack on 3rd and long, we're punting next down anyway - just don't lose the ball." But yeah he does look like a rookie, but in the way that CJ Stroud looked like a rookie early last season. It's more obvious because Levis looks like a season pro for some reason... week 1 wackiness, as I said.

Good lord Daniel Jones is terrible. Why pay this man money? Just tank.

Levis is 10-18 for 69 yards lol. Have we already started scale grading QB play after last year to be "Don't be Daniel Jones/Bryce Young" and it's "seasoned pro"?

Well the bar is pretty low for Levis, but I mean in terms of him being cool and collected and not making any dumb mistakes running the offence. I am watching red zone mostly so I haven't seen the whole thing but my impression of the 10 or so offensive plays I've seen from TEN is that they look pretty well prepared.

Kyler fumble. The BUF / ARI game looks like quite a mess.

For the record the NFL will be going extinct in Germany. Giants-Panthers, November 10, Munich.

I'd like to personally thank the Saints for allowing me to focus all my attention on RedZone's first Witching Hour of the season. What a beatdown

The world needed Gus Johnson with the "running away from the cops speed" on that Tyreek TD.

Maybe it's just my game, but that new kickoff seems to result in consistently solid field position. Certainly more than what I saw in pre-season.

If I'm the kicker, I'm still just trying to hammer that thing through the back of the end zone.
