Man I thought the cowboys was gonna get stomped. Their defense is still a bit suspect, but Dak Prescott looked great last night. That was an amazing game to start the season!

I was hoping the Cowboys would pull an upset, but the better team ended up winning. Real fun game to watch though.

hopefully this year the primetime games resemble last night and not the horrible mess of last year

I agree. We all know it, but the NFL is always so adamant about putting the top market teams on primetime, even if they provide little entertainment value … the Bears, Giants, and Rams will usually be on way more than I’d like haha

I'm no fan of the Cowboys, but I found myself rooting for Dak to lead them to a win.


There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.

After all of Dak's injuries and not playing in a game for eleven months, I wasn't expecting that kind of performance from him right out of the gate. Man was he sharp!

Tampa Bays run stopping ability is second to none. Even with Zeke, attacking them through the air was the right approach. Any smart coach with a good QB with good targets would do the same thing.

Cowboys gave it everything they had and almost pulled it off.

I think you can see some potential bright spots in their D. Drawing the defending SB champs who are returning everyone straight out the gate is rough.

Looking back, ? That wasn't football. What the heck was that?

No Punts, No first down measurements?

I count, the Cowboys, offense was manufactured by the referees' 3 separate times, on 2 drives that ended in about 10 points.

The Buccaneers offense was manufactured by the referees' once, on one drive that ended in 7 or 3 points.

32 NFL teams, 16 games a week. What if no team punts all year long? And no team ever gets a chain measurement, In 282 games? Is that football?
Freaking participation trophy handed out to Dak Prescott and every team that can't catch.
Quarterbacks can play until they are 70
And Running backs aren't even allowed to be tackled to the ground! Is this football? Think about it.

You forgot about bye weeks. Many weeks do not have "16 games per week". Also there are 32 teams that will now be playing 17 games per season. That's a total of 544 games. Try to keep up.

You might want to check that math, lol


16 games x 16 weeks = 256 (basic computer geek math)
[the bye week is what stretches it to 17 actual weeks, but it is only 16 effective weeks]

256 + another 16 games (for the 18th week of the season) = 272


Browns is the Browns

... there goes Joe Thomas, the best there ever was in this game.

and, I generally hate Week 1 in the NFL because the over-officiating is soooooo bad. So many games are determined by over-zealous officiating simply because they feel they need to make a point. It's freaking ridiculous.

I get that they have their pet-project points of emphasis, but here's a novel approach.... just enforce all of the rules all of the time. Then, there's no need for extra emphasis and more ticky-tack calls on existing rules. You don't need to suddenly over-enforce a rule if you have just always been consistent with how it should be.

BUT, now we're getting into theories on maintaining betting lines and such as to Why they do this, because we know they don't give a damn about the players.

Re: penalties in our game

You can bet the following will happen:
1. Jarvis will get a taunting penalty.
2. Myles will be held 5x as often as he gets a flag.
3. Our DL will be handed a horrible roughing call to honor Mahomes.
4. Baker will get no such generous treatment.
5. Tyreke and Kelce get 1-2 DPIs called each.

We just have to accept these and win anyway.


Browns fans are born with it...

In reality a holding call could be made on almost every play.

Gronk said after the game that he was on a route and then Brady checked him into blocking, then checked him into blocking and releasing. “I was like oh man, he just sees it all on the field, it’s impressive. He’s been playing for like 80 years...”

Hill has a way of pushing off AND drawing DPI, much like Antonio Brown did

Anxious to see the Browns play the Chiefs but also very satisfying the last few days knowing that the Cowboys have the worst record in football!

Houston up 14-0 on Jags. Just changed over to get it over radio.
Have Bengals Vikings 0-0 and bills v steelers on 3-0 bills on alternating stations.
Just making pick ems for a weeks games really makes one care about nonsense games. I tell you what, the jaguars may be real train wreck mode.
1st year coaches, paired up with rookie qbs, and rookie coordinators? We know the story.


Can Deshaun Watson play better for the Browns, than Baker Mayfield would have? ... Now the Games count.

Spot light. Houston at Jags.

3rd and 9, Jaguars hold on offense. ...

Texans take the penalty 3rdn and 19, following, illegal defender hit the quarterback, automatic first down.
if they'd refused the penalty, Jacksonville would have made a field goal at worst.

Jacksonville got 7 points, in the next couple of plays. ... Hmm.
Decline those holding penalties! Force that 4th down!
