Also, not going for 2 came back and bit them in the ass.

Jackson wasn't the problem today. He was the only reason they weren't getting blown out.

They were up 17-0 at the half and cruising to an easy win. Carr goes down on their first 2nd half possession and they don't score again. Saints had the division gift wrapped but if Carr is out for a long time they may be in trouble.

The Broncos also might be the worst beat down in football history 10 touchdowns is crazy and all on offense not even a butt fumble or something.

It's a home games against the Colts starting Minshew. Game should have been a blowout win. He had a good day on the ground running but whenever they needed a 3rd down and he has to make a pass their odds of success are low.

Believe it or not, the Giants still have a worst point differential even after this blowout for the ages. I kind of enjoyed all the chaos of those early games.

It's frankly impressive that the Jets could demonstrate that level of complete futility - just really hard to watch stuff, even worse given the score and the fact that they had multiple chances and just had nothing whatsoever to offer... and they're still not even close to the biggest embarrassment of the weekend.

[Sylvanfan]

Andy Reid can design a play. Nice use of motion on that Jet sweep to open up the trailer thru the middle.

[DropIt]

Gotta love those hitting penalties

Their D dominated Carolina, Panthers garbage time only TD made it look closer than it was. Their offence still struggling to figure it out, the offensive weapons are certainly there, but the OL is a tire fire and Carr still settling in.

I had them pegged at 10-7, which seemed like it should be enough to win the South. But yeah who knows now, with Carr possibly out long-term. Kamara is back next game too, too bad.

[CorsiHockeyLeague]

I just feel like I've watched a significant portion of all of their games and there was absolutely no point at which I was like "okay this looks like an impressive football team, I can see why people think they're good." Even when the defense looks good, it appears to be more about the other side of the ball messing up more than anything.

Seahawks see another O lineman go out so they're basically at... 4 backups now? Immediate sack.

Ravens again are decimated by injuries .

8 starters were out going into the game , and Edwards and Bateman got hurt during the game

They are down their top corner , 3 RBs , 2 WRs , and top two o lineman

Houston didn’t look so bad today so not sure why writing off a week 1 relatively easy win Vs them makes sense

[CorsiHockeyLeague]

It does seem like there have been way more injuries so far this year than there should be. 2 more guys down for Seattle in this game (after going in with 20 guys on IR or on the injury report as of Friday).

EDIT: Nope, make it 3 more guys off for Seattle.

Certainly not impressive (well the D on it's own had been), not when the O has been that janky outside of some 4th quarter heroics and the line that porous. But with the level the D was playing at, and the offensive weapons they have now plus Kamara returning next week, there was hope if the OL could eventually stabilize and Carr get more comfortable in the new offence that they could be a playoff team in a bad division / conference.

I didn't have them pegged as a Super Bowl contender or anything like that, hence my 10-7 prediction with an easier schedule. More a team that could get a home playoff game in a bad division and maybe win a round in the Dome. But that may be gone now, we'll see how long he's out. DL was bad today too, they had been great through 2 weeks. Brutal day all around

Wasn't Baltimore in the same situation last year or two years ago where their tops guys went down early in the season?

[rubecube]

That pick has been coming. Geno has been super reckless so far today.

[browna]

Seattle wearing white at home for the first time in their history and maybe the only team in the league history never having worn white at home until today.

Celebrating the 2013 Championship season, IMO not worth it to break a 48 year tradition.

[CorsiHockeyLeague]

Yeah clearly that's what's wrong here.

To be honest they've played fine, just haven't made plays at the right times - one busted coverage is a TD against, one bad penalty takes away a likely TD (1st and goal from the 3) and that's the difference.

If they can get points here and go into the half within 1, or even up, I don't think there's an issue. But then I would have said that against the Rams, so... who knows.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Cardinals are playing way too hard to win the tankapolooza. Bears and Broncos are the prohibitive favorites.
