BUFF played their guts out. Tough way to lose. NE could not run at all on them. Brady threw short passes all night which eventually opened up the longer throws to Watson for TDs.

Crazy play at the end - for a second I thought the Bills were going to score. Can they do a drop kick for three points in the NFL?

BUFF took too many penalties on offence. Not sure about the two roughing the QB calls against NE - both were big turning points for BUFF.

The Wilfork one was a terrible call, the second one was legit, in my unbiased view.

The first down on the first TD drive.

I guess I agree if Gruden is right about pile-driving. I didn't think it was late at all.

Man this is a lot different from the last monday night opener in Oakland. Raiders team playing with a lot of heart and it actually look like Cable has found a way to motivate this team. Man do i love seeing the Chargers struggle

You play Cable's way or he'll knock you the f*** out.

I like what I see so far. The Raiders are taking it really slow with Russell which is good. If they can build a team and an offensive approach like the Steelers did with Rothesberger in his first couple years (lots of running, good o-line, great defense, 15-20 throws per game) they might be able to see him gain confidence.

Hahahaha... Rivers is such a loser. He yaps at Warren, throws the ball down on the ground in front of him and then tries to play like he didn't do anything.

San Diego is imploding. Norv Turner has to be the worst coach in the NFL. His teams are always unprepared and lacking focus.

Russell has a long way to go. I don't know if it's play calling above his head or what, but he hasn't hit a receiver in 2 1/2 quarters.

Edit: Jesus. The Raiders are just playing incredibly on defense. Coverage has been lights out and the d-line is FINALLY getting pressure on the QB.

The Raiders are absolutely punishing the Chargers... it's been a parade of Chargers to the sideline. Love it.

Man the Raiders are playing some smash mouth football. Mcfadden with one sweet ass block

Loved that line "The Colts and Jags with another low-scoring physical game with a ton of ice bags after the game"..."and geuss who won again?"

Nice Block Jamarcus!!!

Russell throws a great block on Weddle on a reverse. Hahaha. This is wonderful. Just in-your-face football all game.

Note to Broncos and Chiefs fans - if you smack the Chargers in the mouth, they apparently fold.

Raiders should be up by 20 if they were any good. Chargers look so weak.
But like NE, Chargers will find someway to win off a Raiders mistake.

The Chiefs have hope this year I think
