NFL 2017 Week #2

You were right--the OC is gone. Bengals fire Zampese after 0-2 start, 0 TDs

It's crazy that they hang on to Lewis, but the Bengals have always been a weird organization.

Wow that happened faster than I thought it would.

Say @MJ5150 I looked and looked, but I didn't see Shaz on the injury list. Does he still play for your team :D

Wow if Philly can play like this for a full four quarters and not blow anything big (like that crazy catch/missed 3pt sequence) then I take my words back. They could be tough for the Raiders.

EDIT: Oh, and they didn't show the replay of that one incredible hulk one-armed tackle in the first half by some huge guy on the Eagles. No clue on name. The announcers were talking about it while they showed the field where the players were lining up. They should've shown that. Weird.

Well, the Dolphins managed to beat the so-so Chargers on the road by virtue of a missed field goal at the end. OK. In other news, the Bears still stink.

In other other news--I wonder if Ezekiel Elliott thought that if he took it easy in the Denver game, it would help him get his suspension reduced.:D
 
Nice talisman rubbing.
It worked..

I was actually at the game. My band played two sets in the Mile High Beer Garden pre-game, and part of our compensation was tickets. Denver much better than I thought they would be in this game. They pretty much dominated on both sides of the ball, held Dallas to 13 rushing yards or something? Great game.

I remain cautious. We came out of the gates last year to a quick 4-0 just to finish 9-7 and miss the playoffs. But I am encouraged. Siemian has really grown. Solid defensive effort. Anderson and Charles make a great tandem. Coaching staff seem to be putting good game plans together. I'll enjoy it, but week by week.

Another week proves I don't know anything about the NFL.
I'm glad the Raiders won, but the sideline dancing has to stop.
Same with that clown in Pittsburgh.

If it's all true, I totally love how Jerry Jones is messing with the contract extension for Goodell.

Henry in Murray out. Clearly the better back om the field right now for the Titans. I hope they move forward with the run first mentality now. The passing game is still very much a work in progress. Not sure why bu Mariotta looks a little lost in his reads right now. I don't know if it's blown assignments by the young receivers or him not seeing the field, but it's worrisome. The Tackling was better, but still needs improvement. Too many open field tackles that were flat out Ole'! material.
