Pete Carroll successfully challenged a no PI call. Seemed like one that should have been called, although not crazy blatant. Gave them a first down instead of punting. Got a TD out of it.

Refs missed a pretty obvious helmet to helmet on Wilson on the same play. Weird since they've been emphasizing that for a while, and he's one of the league's big money guys.

They missed the defensive lineman smacking Goff in the face on the play that Saints fans are bitching about.

NY governor proclaims there is only one true NY football team. Hint: Teams that play in NJ do not count.

NY Jets defense came out to play. They're actually doing a good job. But when the offense goes 3 and out every single drive, there's not a lot you can do.

Cleveland Browns...not impressed with them so far. Considering how absolutely terrible the Jets have been on offense you'd think the Browns would be doing more than getting mostly FG's.

I took a look ahead at their next 5 games and it is the toughest part of their schedule.
Rams, Ravens, 49ers, Seahawks, Patriots

However, the second half of their schedule now looks like a cakewalk.
Broncos, Bills, Steelers, LOLphins, Steelers, Bengals, Cardinals, Ravens, Bengals

And the Browns score a long TD after I post that. Of course.

Vikings should try and trade Cousins for Keenum.

I'm not really sure why the Steelers made that trade. Almost seems more like they made it to keep him from going to KC or maybe New England. They're desperately going to need draft picks soon to try and get a new QB. Even if Ben really does come back, they need to be looking to the future, and I think the next two drafts are considered pretty significant ones with regards to expected QB talent.

Supposedly Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded and the Chiefs have inquired and made an offer (saw one that said the Jags even like the offer but are waiting to see if anyone else will give them more). Apparently the Raiders might have made an offer as well. And some said Chargers and maybe some others. And then of course speculation about New England.

Seeing some say the Chiefs aren't interested at all, haha.

I think when the time comes for Brady in NE, Bellichick is just going to kidnap Brady, tie him up and strap him to his own (Bellichick's) funerary canoe pyre, and they'll both drift out onto Lake Winnipesaukee where some lucky contest-winning fan will fire the flaming arrow that sends them both into oblivion.

Chargers is probably a non-starter. First they're down a couple of all-star safeties (Derwin James and Adrian Philips) so CB isn't their top need even before considering both their CB starters are fairly healthy and well above replacement level. I guess getting depth at a critical position is always good but trading for it seems weird since their offense seems oddly questionable this year (the MG3 holdout can't be the only factor). Plus it seems out of character since trading away draft picks is something they don't typically do, they don't even trade a lot of draft picks during the draft (moving up or down the board).

Taco Charlton of the Cowboys asking to be released/traded too.

Daniel Jones to start for the G-Men week 3. Bye Eli, it was a nice career.
