Today's shocker for sure, 24-0 with 7:00 to play in the 1st half yet, Bills currently in scoring position again at the Viking 30yrd line. Who knows, maybe the embarrassment of the week 1 blowout and Davis quitting mid-game has angered the Bills. As Chris Berman said, "no one circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills!!"The Vikings bet on the Bills, I see.

Wow, KC has amassed a 35-10 lead at the half, Mahomes has 252yds and 3 TD's already. One of his throws he was flushed, spun backwards to the right, then did a 180 and while running full tilt to his left uncorks a sidearm rocket to his tight end fitting it between 2 defenders. Last week he had 6 TD's and 5 incomplete, if KC can just play average defense I can't see them losing often.
Steelers now talking trade offers for LeVeon Bell, unable to come to an agreement by the July 16th deadline Bell was playing under the franchise tag for the 2nd season, this time it was $14.5 million, which Bell felt was unfair so he has yet to report and play. This is not sitting well with team mates, tough sell to an O-lineman making $2-4 million/year, obviously players want the long term deal with the guaranteed portion of the contract, but I think Bell is taking it too far, can't see another team willing to take his current $$ status on as well as his constant crying poor 'ol me.http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/24770741/steelers-now-listening-trade-offers-leveon-bell
Yea, that team is non-stop drama, last season the were chirping about "beating NE in the playoff's" but one small problem, the had not played the Jags yet. As we all know, they lost to the Jags at home, a team that had smoked them, (at home), earlier in the season. Brown is a sick talent but another diva, last week he was bitching about not seeing enough balls, it just never ends with these guys. I actually think Tomlin is a decent coach but since he didn't crush the drama at the outset way back he's kind of stuck with it now.I think the Steelers are about to meltdown. Too much drama which Tomlinson seems to foster. Big Ben on decline (plus his waffling about retiring or not) isn't going to cover it up any more. Bell has caused drama like every year for like 3 years now, Brown is almost always causing drama, and they scapegoated Hailey, when he likely wasn't the actual problem.

Another ridiculous roughing the passer call. How do you tackle a guy and then not land on him? You might as well put QB's out there in pink slippers and bath robes.....Maybe put little flags on their hips that you have to grab instead of tackling them.
Yea, what EXACTLY is Matthews supposedly doing wrong?, on both of those RTP calls he intentionally landed on one of his arms to avoid applying his full weight to the QB. I get protecting the head, I get protecting the lower legs and I get not rag-dolling the QB into the turf but they've gone WAY overboard with this shit. Last week they showed a Brady sack, a good, hard, legit, (IMO) sack, no penalty. It was much more of a lick than the Matthews sack so how exactly are Ref's supposed to call this?, no one really knows apparently. In other news Jacksonville goes down at home to the Titans, 9-6, the offense was just horrible, Bortles morphed back into Bortles, (21-34, 155yds). Titans beat Jax twice last year, the Jax players were all over the local news all week saying this game was even more of a "payback" than the Patriots game. Seems they shot their load last week and were unable to handle the bruising Tennessee play today.Another ridiculous roughing the passer call. How do you tackle a guy and then not land on him?

Wish I could get that down here in FL, i didn't re-up the Sunday ticket this year, the $400 is getting steep. Miami just beat the Raiders, the black and silver faithful acted like Gruden coming back would be like the 2nd coming of Christ, now they are 0-3 LOL!!The Chiefs better be figuring out how they can get Earl Thomas because damn this defense is sure trying to make other offenses look like they're on the level of the Chiefs'. Can't tackle, can't rush the QB for shit (all of a sudden they figured out how, WTF), can't cover, can't stop the run (but every so often will get a goal or 3rd down stand).
And then the offense floundered and the 49ers are getting back in the game.
Wow that was really stupid. WTF was Garropolo thinking? He stayed in bounds earlier in the game and they thought there'd be a roughing call when a defender forearmed him to the back to push him out of bounds. Then he stays in again and lowers his fucking throwing shoulder into the defender. Just dumb.
Not sure how that was offensive PI, should've been holding or something I'd think? Seems like they shouldn't have called anything. I think what caused it was the 49ers player's arm going up to the ball (even though the pass was going to the other 49er).
Garropolo carted off. He apparently hurt his knee not his shoulder.
Yeah but they get ten days off on the back end, so there is benefit to playing on Thursday night. Night games are only garbage when two bad teams are playing. MNF regularly gets bad games nowadays. SNF usually gets great match ups.
The Vikings bet on the Bills, I see.
Saints seem to be playing to whatever level their opponents decide to play at, week in and week out.
WOW.......big, (bad) news out of the KC/SF game, Jimmy G has apparently torn his ACL in the loss to the Chiefs, here's the play it happens on,I wonder WTF was he thinking?, Mahomes was scurrying around a bit today but he (smartly) runs OB as the defense closed. Garoppolo decides to lower his shoulder and take on the defender and in the process his left leg gets pushed into a horrible direction causing the injury.
For a league so concerned with player safety as they have led us to believe, it sure doesn't seem like it when you have some absurd things happening because of TNF. Teams have had to play 4 games in as little as 17 days and you can't forget about the travel time either, so that cuts into their 13 days of rest too and it is purely for a bit more profit. Not only are they putting player health at risk but it puts one or two teams performance at risk.
I can't argue with that. They get a sense of urgency when they absolutely have to but where the hell is that every other series? The Falcon's D isn't a joke and being long time, and often nasty, division rivals they always show up to play, especially in their own house so it's not like they were playing some easy team. The last two Saint's drives were things of beauty, at least as a Saint's fan.
yeah but Cleveland!
