NFL Week 1: The Official 1st Thread of NFL Week MegaThreads

[Ed Anger]

Wow, that was a weird one by AJ Green.  Normally he's pretty surehanded.

Bungles beat themselves today.  Possibly more frustrating than anything else was the stupid-ass penalty Dre Kirkpatrick committed that late in the 2nd quarter that set up a Bears field goal.  The screaming on the sidelines after that one was: interesting.

On my drive back home up until I reached Indianapolis, all I could get on the radio was Bears postgame shows-- apparently Jay Cutler won the game singlehandedly

Slap Andy Dalton for me.

Just for looking retarded on the sidelines after he threw that pick six.

There was a lot of goofy shit this week.  I don't know if it's the soft CBA or what, but teams just don't seem ready in week 1 anymore.

Yeah, for a while there were two games where one team had just 2 points.

I'm not sure I've ever even heard of a team taking a safety on the opening kickoff before.

How did that happen?

Caught the ball at the 1 yard line, kneeled in the end zone.

And I would trade it for Pouncey not being out for the season.

ACL and MCL.  And I thought Jacoby Jones' friendly fire injury was stupid bad.  He was the only one there to chop block.

Well, technically it wasn't a pick six because Tillman was down by contact.  But yeah, it was a gimme TD for the Bears.

I wanted to slap AJ for the bobbled pass that turned into an INT, and then Sanu for fumbling on what should have been a gimme score for us.

Dre Kirkpatrick has disappointed me most of all.  YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE

[KRonn]

Not quite sure what to make of that performance by the Pats. The running games remains strong, but Brady's options are sparse. Brady's chemistry with Amendola was good, but his ability to stay healthy is certainly questionable. Aside from that he only has Edelman and the hope of Gronk coming back and staying healthy.

Yeah, the running game is good but passing game is a bit weak right now. The Pats receiver corp is supposedly very good, maybe among one of the better groups they've had for a while.  As they and Brady play together more then there's good hope. At least I hope so because we've seen before good receivers come to the team but aren't able to produce.

Caught the ball at the 1 yard line, kneeled in the end zone.

It was more like he had one foot on the goal line with his toes barely over it.  Don't be misrepresentin' what my boy Reynaud did.

Yeah, he had his toe on the goal line . Not the first time somebody forgot where they were on a kick off return.  I think it was against the Bengals that Eric Metcalf thought he was in the end zone, and kneeled on the 8 yard line on a kick off.  Eric got blasted.

I turned the game off after Tillman snatched it. I JUST CAN'T TAKE THIS SHIT ANYMORE

[CountDeMoney]

You deserve the Bungles you get, Ed.  One of the these days, you'll figure it out.

[Ed Anger]

Between the bungles and AJ Hawk cutting his hair, the NFL is pissing me off.

[crazy canuck]

My last words of advice to my younger son as he was about to do his fantasy picks with his friends:

CC: Whatever you do make sure you take Peyton Manning

CC Jr:   

CC: about one week later. 

[Liep]

Well, talk about momentum switch.

[citizen k]

RG III, interception machine.

[CountDeMoney]

I don't believe RG3 and Vick are supposed to occupy the same space, or something would happen to the time-space continuum.
