Fitzpatrick when he's on is actually kind of Favre-ish, just slings it and makes a lot of great throws.

Sainters7 · 09-09-2018, 12:11 PM

Yep same as always. Good Saints O let down by an awful Saints D. Been that way for the majority of this century. Can't believe how awful the D looks.

EDIT: Haha and now that. I'm leaving for Edmonton as soon as this game is done, I may just go now instead

Titans looking awful as usual

Lots of football to go, were only half done game one. At least CD is catching some balls

Texans will never win anything with OBrien as coach. Sure let the Patriots just march down the field at the end of the 2nd half. Using no timeouts on defense and no challenges. Just welcome the Patriots into the endzone.

Very true! They haven’t been able to do anything since the 4th down gamble, nice to see a ballsy play call though

Senator Clay Davis · 09-09-2018, 12:41 PM

Nathan Peterman might be the worst QB in NFL history.

Drake · 09-09-2018, 12:58 PM

Buffalo went the entire first half without a first down...

d_phaneuf · 09-09-2018, 01:01 PM

Very happy to have Sunday ticket back on telus, but i have dazn on a 2nd screen for red zone since the telecoms dont have access to it and i keep dazn for soccer, and my red zone hasnt buffered once today

They seem to have improved at least on my end for nfl, bever had issues with soccer on it

True, hopefully after this long delay they can come out with energy. There D and running game need to step it up

James Conner has 2 touchdowns, 90 rushing yards and 32 receiving yards. Who needs Bell?

They have a really good run blocking OL. It's why I'm not so sure Bell would be as successful on a different team. Very few offensive lines would give him time to wait in the backfield for holes to open like he's afforded with the Steelers.

SportsJunky · 09-09-2018, 01:19 PM

Wow, that was some play by Jimmy G to get away from the pressure and hit Pettis deep in the end zone. Just when I thought the Vikings were putting this game away.

Erick Estrada · 09-09-2018, 01:24 PM

Someone remind me why the Browns kept Mr. 1-31 as their head coach?

yep. DeAngelo Williams also had fantastic numbers when Bell was suspended.

If Bells wants to bet against this OL making another RB shine, it's a very bad bet.

He's a really good backup QB. In short doses he can be very effective as he's picking on a defense that's still in preseason mode. He just can't sustain it which is why the longer he plays the worse he gets. Pretty surprised the Saints came out this bad but I feel the first week or two of the NFL aren't great indicators of how good or bad a team is as starters simply aren't playing much in preseason anymore.

devo22 · 09-09-2018, 01:29 PM

probably going to be a long year for Bills fans.

GirlySports · 09-09-2018, 01:37 PM

Barkley with an incredible 68-yard TD run

Erick Estrada · 09-09-2018, 01:40 PM

Belichick clearly did his film studies on Watson. The thing about the NFL is that defenses are so good at picking apart film that QB's that come out of nowhere usually get a grace period where they can exploit defenses that don't have enough film to break down tendancies.
