**Official Rogers Brinks Truck 2018-19 NFL Week 1 Thread**

[Retro Rob]

Sheesh, I know Rogers is the best QB in the game. But my gawd... that contract is sick. I really don't know if I would have paid THAT much. I am a fan of Rogers, though I totally HATE the Packers.

Best in the game? Perhaps seeing his talent and abilities. But in reality, he isn't in the Tom Brady discussion when it comes to all time greatest. Brady isn't some slouch QB riding the tails of Belichick and winning 5 rings. He was the most important player on the field during all 7 Superbowl appearances.

Sorry, Aaron. Win 3 more, and then you can sit at Brady's table.

Anyway, here ya go!

Talk about obscene contracts:

Hopefully, he doesn't steal truckloads of money like Ndamukong Suh did..

 

[BarkingGhostar]

It'll be interesting to see how things go with the new rules. Anyway, GO PATS! Your jealousy tastes so good. And ... haters be hating time.

 

[JujuFish]

As a Bills fan, 0-16 looks more likely than last year's 9-7. I'm only slightly kidding.

 

[Retro Rob]

Bold move by the Bears:

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap30...-expected-to-acquire-khalil-mack-from-raiders

I think a move like this is more geared for a team ready to make a push for Superbowl contention. The Bears, at this point, is the worse team in the NFC North still. But still a bold move.

 

[dasherHampton]

It's a "why not?" move by Ryan Pace.

If the team doesn't come together he's fired anyway. He doesn't care about the future, only his job.

Wow! I doubt the Broncos will win week 1, but now they should win week 2.

Oh, I thought they were playing the Lions!

Other than the Redskins winning and NFCE teams all losing, I hope that the Vikings go 0-16 and Kirk Cousins does awful. Good riddance.

 

[gorcorps]

I don't have high expectations for the season, I just don't want the Broncos to be dead last in the division. Making the playoffs would be the best I could hope for really

Your division is wide open. Washington can realistically take it, because Philly has no QB right now, IMO. They're starting a backup, and then there's the pressure to repeat since they aren't sneaking up on anyone this year.

I see Smith as a lateral move. He's not better, and certainly isn't any worse than Cousins.

I also saw the Vikings as somewhat of a lucky and overachieving team last year. Kase Keenum was the Matt Cassel of 2011. They'll fall back to earth I believe.

 

[dainthomas]

Go Hawks! Hoping for a return to 2013-14 form for the D, despite Sherman not being there.

Philly also had no QB for their playoff run last year, so I'm not going to disrespect Foles like that. Plus Wentz is probably going to be back shortly.

I agree though that the division is kind of wide open. All teams seem pretty mediocore at the current time, and I'd say that the Cowboys are probably the worst on paper.

lol!

 

[TheVrolok]

Holy shit this game is awful. Can both teams be given a loss?

 

[zinfamous]

I stopped watching, It sucks. Football is just terrible now.

 

[Ricochet]

Julio Jones got hosed by the refs in perhaps the biggest catch of the game (should've been). Otherwise not much going on in the game.

 

[purbeast0]

And just like that, the Eagles are losing lol.

 

[Chaotic42]

Lots of BS in the game earlier, but it's getting at least somewhat interesting.

I think you mean 2010 Matt Cassel (or maybe 2008)?

I can't wait to see how you feel in a couple of years.

Not even sure what you mean. Whether he does good or bad will have no effect on me, but I'm just hoping he does bad out of spite.

Doesn't help that both QBs tonight look like practice squad scrubs but remember PHI and ATL are a couple of the best defenses in the game so a lot of that seeming QB ineptness is actually a reflection of that. The Falcons defense is fast as hell and that Eagles front 7 is beastly. That being sad Matt Ryan's passes lacked any zip and his arm strength seems questionable. The 50 yard incomplete pass (that was actually a catch but for bad refereeing) would have been an easy TD had it not been horrendously underthrown. He honestly looked like Peyton Manning in his last few games out there, hopefully this is just a slow start and he shakes off rust and does OK rest of season but this is a really bad game 1 for him. ATL fans will be calling for his head if he this lasts more than another game or 2 and Offensive Coordinator Sark may be sacked regardless, his play calling tonight was inexcusable.

Yeah I know....football is fine. I'm just tired of it all, I think. I can't really watch late games anymore as it is. Now this one started just after 9. What do I look like, a spry 26 year-old!
