So Dallas went to the ends of the Earth to appeal Elliot suspension so they could throw 3 times on 1st and goal.

I understand there have been some bad/missed calls but it sure as hell has been both ways.
Regardless of what team one cheers for, as a football fan that was pure garbage officiating no matter how you look at it. Seattle was burned of points by a terrible call on Lane and an obvious penalty on Graham in the end zone that was not called. All dialogue I have seen from commentators today are in agreement, not just Buck and Aikman.

Whenever I watch Eli play I'm always amazed that he managed to win two Super Bowls. He is such an ugly QB. He gets lucky sometimes and puts up big numbers in a game but most of the time he is awful.

A lot of teams kick off the season in an ugly fashion but the Giants and Seahawks take the cake.

However the Seahawks were on the road so I guess you could see that one coming.

Because of the market he plays in he's probably going to end up in the HOF and if that's the case he has to be one of the worst QB's to ever get in. Guy has been an average to below average QB most of his career as his career 83 quarterback rating indicates as well as racking up double digit interceptions in every full season of his career. He did go on a couple of playoff runs with bottom seed teams but the most remarkable thing of his career is that he's managed to never get injured.

Hyperbole.

Cincinnati, Houston, and Indianapolis were all putrid. New England was also worse than either the Giants or Seahawks. They lost by 15 at home.

Ahhh I can see you aren't a Cowboys fan. This is our esteemed coach showing he is a tricky guy. Short passes and a heavy dose of the run till they get into scoring position and then it's tricky dicky time.

good news for the Eagles.

Ian Rapoport @RapSheet
#Eagles CB Ronald Darby is out 4-6 weeks with an dislocated ankle, sources say. No major ligament damage. Surprisingly good news.

He's already on CBS number 1 team so he's going to get their best game every week and TNF when CBS shows it

Also Romo, by the 2nd half, seemed to be able to recognize the play by listening to the QB calling it out (like he had memorized it throughout the game). How could the defense not?

Why you dont need to throw a punch.....to be ejected for throwing a punch. Yes its an explanation why Lane was thrown out yesterday..rightly or wrongly.

(Another NFL cluster#### of a rule...they take simple things and just obfuscate the hell out of them)

I watched the Raiders - Titans game on Sunday.

I will admit I was a little hesitant hearing Romo was going to provide colour on the Main CBS team but boy was I impressed. The way he was calling the plays before the happened. Was very cool and informative.

I went to a friend's house yesterday, and DAZN was utterly terrible.

When it worked, which was not often, it was similar to watching the game on cable. However the picture quality was often terrible, there were games missing, the app was incredibly slow to respond to the remote (the whole point of NFL Sunday Ticket is to flip games to avoid the consistent commercials), and significant delays in the picture when compared with the action in real time (we would receive scoring alerts up to 5 mins before the play happened on the screen).

Avoid at all costs.

I signed up for it last night, how elese can I watch the Chiefs play the Eagles on Sunday. But all the reviews are horrible. I still can't believe that the NFL would screw over its very loyal paying fans like this. Doesn't make any sense. Fall of Rome perhaps?
