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!
Yeah it sucked that it started late but it got too close where I could go to sleep, and I was hoping so bad that the Falcons would ruin the Eagles opening game. But they failed. I went to sleep right after the game at like 12:30 and got up at 6 today. Oddly I am feeling just fine today.

I do not understand the late east coast starts.

But as much as I hate the preseason, I can see why its necessary. Guys are rusty Yet, you don't want guys playing in games that don't count and get hurt. This game was boring. I started flipping channels.

Well, we didn't see the helmet rule, we did see Julio get screwed out of a great catch. The catch rule is the worst one to officiate.

I understand that the only thing that changed about the catch was that the ball can now bobble while heading to and hitting the ground (is this the same for running out of bounds?) as long as you keep your body (parts) between the ball and the ground. I'm fine with that, and it seems easier to me because you just need to see if the receiver has an arm or hand between the ball and the ground the whole time.

Whatever. I'm all for more football games that are viewable. Having 1 extra game to watch a week with TNF is way better than not having one. It definitely sucks for the players though.

This game was very compelling on paper, the execution just didn't live up to their talent. Compared to some of the other games coming on Sunday this one will look like a masterpiece. For example, the Ravens are going to annihilate the Bills and Geno Atkins and the rest of the Bengals front 7 are going to run past that Indy OL like shit through a goose and probably going to sack Andrew Luck and his shriveled arm a dozen times.

I'm going to have to bookmark that Capt. Andrew Luck Twitter feed.

If anyone is interested I've created an ATOT daily league on Draftkings, $5 entry but open to making it higher/lower if others request it. Please let me know in the ATOT thread if you want to participate so I can set the size accordingly, currently it's at 12 but the contest won't run if we can't fill it. Depending on demand it could be a weekly contest and you could participate when/as you like.

Hats off to Aaron Rogers for the new roughing rule in general. The two best QBs in our generation are directly responsible for the witness protection program that is the new roughing rules.

Good to see Luck back to be honest. The more good QBs the NFL has, the better the games are.

I only caught some highlights, but any time Ryan Fitz-freaking-Patrick gashes you, your defense is bad..

Unless you’re the Pissburgh fucking Steelers and can’t manage to beat the Browns...even in overtime.

I’m shocked at the ending of that game...almost glad I didn’t have to watch it.
I’ve bled black and Yellow for about 60 years...and have had to endure some terrible seasons...but the fucking Browns?

Broncos looking much better against Seattle 1st half than expected. Thank God

So many mistakes by both teams make the game interesting. That said Seattle is a very different team from years prior and doesn't scare anybody.

The little team that ALMOST was...

I’ve been a Seahwaks fan since they started the franchise in 76. Home team for me. The Wilson years have shown the most promise in team history. It’s too bad they can’t get their shit together.

Seachickens won a super bowl and went to another one just 3 years ago, and have been in the playoffs 11 of the past 15 years, cry me a river (go lions)
