Dallas stunk it up with penalties, that was just some horrible, sloppy play that killed drives.

Cleveland is off to its best start since 2004... 0-0-1!

Ravens crushed the Bills,  not a good day to be a Bills fan.  That one was hard to watch, even as a Ravens fan.

Yeah, those Bills are not in a good place, at all. Meanwhile, St. Aaron of Green Bay performed another miracle, actually *improving* with an injury. Basically, if Rogers is on the field and there are at least 2 minutes on the clock, Green Bay can score about 28 points, easy.

..and we thought last season was weird,  2 weeks two ties....  :squint:
a lot of unexpected wins this week, for me at least.
my team picking juju needs a refresh.

I felt really bad for the kicker. Three failed kicks in the game. That timeout to ice the GB kicker worked. That had to suck.

Cleveland lost their game in the most Clevelandy way possible... I expect they'll have a new kicker before their next game.

Jax looks to be the real deal with their controlling win over the Patriots yesterday. KC is also a big contender, but expect coaches to start to adjust to Mahomes' style.

Prince Carson of Philly will return to the field, but Winston might not in Tampa...

Dallas was able to beat up on the Giants, but they still managed to self-destruct for a little while in the late game, racking up drive-killing penalties. If they were playing a more aggressive team with a better offensive line, they would have been handed a L.

Then there's Vontae Davis formerly of the Bills,  tired of being on a losing team, throws in the towel, and retires mid-game...

:doh:

Just does not make sense... I mean, the middle of the game? Come on...

Meanwhile, it's a great time to be a fan of KC and Tampa Bay. Act now, this is a limited time only!

I missed that happening. Just looked it up. Never heard of a rage retirement before. Now I have to explain to my coworkers why I am laughing.

OK, I made my picks for Week 3. They *look* pretty straightforward, hoping I get more than 8 right.

Good Start for another week of crappy picks.

I'm feeling better about this week, I don't think I'm going to have many upsets. The matchups seem to be pretty evident how they're going to play out.

Of course, I say that NOW...

... and then the actual football happens.

The Bills and Lions winning were the two biggest surprises...

Another pick-6 week for me.  second in a row,  I know Pick-6 sounds good in football, but not in that way.

I know what you mean...

About the only sure thing we have going this year is that Chris Matthews will be flagged for tackling a QB.
