And the Chargers win in a way they used to lose when Philip was there. Perhaps he's the curse?

SoFi stadium in LA is gorgeous.

I guess it should be for 5 billion.

Haha that Taysom play was slick

I was going to say welcome to being a Bengal Joe Burrow. Lead your team all the way down the field only to have a penalty take your game winning TD off the board, than watch your kicker injure himself missing a 31 yard FG.

Which basically means a typical Sunday for them

Still in shock the Cards won.

That’s gonna give them the much needed confidence boost that will help them push for a good spot in their tough division.

I still cant believe the Eagles lost to the....football team........and AZ beat the niners.

Crazy day.

Costly win for GB as they lost 2 of their starting 5 OL...and neither injury looked very good.Rogers was having fun though...something that has been missing the last couple seasons.

Hard to argue with the stat line: 19-20 for 3 TD. 95% completion percentage

Build a $5 billion house and can’t have any guests. Weird times.

Man that stadium looks nice..such a shame no-one can be there.

Having the Cowboys christen the Rams new stadium is such a flex on Jerry's stadium

[Erick Estrada]

Man those Rams uniforms look like they were lifted from the Chargers.

[ForeverFlameFan]

From a lot of the games today you can see that many teams are really missing those preseason games to get them in actual game time shape.

And yet the results in a lot of these games were very familiar to what we are typically used to seeing year in and year out in the NFL;

-Jets look like a disaster
-Atlanta's defense looks like crap again
-Lions lose another 4th quarter lead
-Rivers does a lot of Rivers things in a loss
-Patriots win over a weak divisional rival
-Browns getting smoked in another opener
-Bengals being the Bengals losing as only they can
-Bucs have a lot of skill but are a sloppy, sloppy football team
-Eagles are a weird football team

I had forgotten how boring Mike McCarthy offenses are.

Maybe, but Jones was a driving force behind having teams back in LA with the league and the other owners, and in general, was an ally with Kroenke through the whole process the past 4 years. It's not a coincidence the stadium opens with his team playing in it as visitors.

The Washington football team is going to lead the division after week 1.

Pretty sure that Collinsworth wants to have sex with the Rams stadium

Atlanta gambled a few too many times on offense and lost the field possession game. Wilson was efficient and a couple deep balls did it.

Pats shows the Belichek way keeps the results the same with different players.
But it wouldn't be a Cam Newton game if he didn't get in an altercation post game because someone took a pull on his gold chain. Belichek I don't think had that to deal with with Brady.

Bucs will be interesting to see with Arians. Belichek's protection if his players and ways from the press, and his expectations of his players behind the scenes, while unique, did more good then harm when it came to keeping consistency in the team. Arians doesn't have that discipline or temperament, so after games like today, it will be a bit more chaotic and Brady and crew are going to have to do more talking for themselves as opposed to the coach talking for them and deflecting in the press.

I thought McCarthy was boring, I'm surprised they went for it there FG ties the game.
