I run two TVs during game days. I normally flip around a ton on the second TV, but I left the Pit/Cinci game on a lot today. That was a hard fought game. Not sure if I would criticize either team too much. JMO.

Sure hope it isn't a complete tear for TJ Watt and he can return sometime this season. On the bright side, I sure wasn't predicting a Steelers win. That D looked great! Mitch Trubisky and the O-Line, not so much.

Dallas looks cooked for the year, and I hate to be so impulsive about it.
They have ZERO playmaking on the outside and their OL stinks. Now take out Dak for a month or two and it’s top 5 draft pick range
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

In regards to San Francisco, I predict that they’ll go back to Jimmy G at some point Agree, but it will take 4-6 weeks before they are willing to admit that mistake.

My biggest surprises on the day was Detroit scoring 35 against the Eagles and San Fran losing to Chicago. I'm not as big on going after Try Lance this early on. Nor am I as big in hating on Ciny's OL in their first game together after replacing so many starters on that line. Time will tell. But man did Burrows ever look horrible in that first half.
I don't have any idea if Dak was just having a bad day or what. But if that's any indication of what was to come, him being hurt might not have as negative of an impact as it may seem. One thing we saw today was just how valuable it is to have a great kicker in the clutch today. Not having one hurt a lot of teams today and the Browns having one is why they won the game.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

I am not sure what is more telling. Cincy committing 5 turnovers and still should have won. Or Pittsburg getting the benefit of turning over Cincy 5 times and getting lucky to squeak out a win.

Pitt isn't a very good team. And if they've lost Watt for any length of time, I think they'll see their first losing season under Tomlin.

Watt is a great player. I have a hard time dismissing the Steelers though because Tomlin is a great coach.

Watt missing a lot of time is a big blow to Pittsburgh. He’s their queen piece on the chess board

Props to the Giants. Ballsy call to go for 2 there. Looking to make a statement.
Also, I like when the Titans lose.
How does a league celebrating its 100th season only recognize the 53 most recent championships?

I like when any NFC team beats an AFC team like that. and I liked seeing the Colts NOT win

Matt Ryan is done.
Most overrated pick up of the offseason.
I would be so frustrated as a Colts fan. Good team, bad QB play, and really substandard efforts to address it.

Funny you said that because i just said the exact same thing to a buddy. Almost word for word. Ryan is cooked and the Colts are going to waste a great roster

Pitt isn't a very good team. And if they've lost Watt for any length of time, I think they'll see their first losing season under Tomlin. I saw something that put their game into context for me. They (Pitt) scored 17 points off of 5 turnovers, including a pick 6, I believe. They will live and die by that defense, that now doesn't have Watt. Their offense was pretty terrible. Also, is Harris down for a while? It's never really the case when it happens in real life, but on paper, we should match up well with the Steelers. Ball control offense, limiting turnovers and a good defense. Now let's see if that's actually the case when the game happens.

Houston was as big a shock as any to me - and I was glad to see the Eagles play well, I've invested heavily in my belief they will shine this year with my fantasy teams!

Najee Harris might be the most overrated player in the NFL. Zero dynamic qualities. It's Trent Richardson all over again. He collects stats on volume of touches. He doesn't possess any elite qualities. I love that he's a Steeler.

He's underwhelmed for sure.
Yesterday it seemed like that offense couldn't put things together when they were setting up from normal kickoffs or punts, aside from the last drive. I'll be interested to see how they do against teams that are more run-first, ball control style offenses.

Sounds like Watt and Pittsburgh are trying to salvage the 2nd half of the year

Yeah, although getting a second and third opinion probably means the first opinion provided bad news.

Man, that makes you wonder. If the first opinion gave him bad news, how effective will he be if he's playing with a dinged up pec that probably should have had surgery? That's a muscle you use a ton in every day life, let alone at that position.

Yeah thats true. It’s not going to be good news. I hate injuries even though he’s a huge factor for their team

Piutsburgh won't miss a beat. The Establishment will manufacture wins for them, like the Chicago game last year.
And I expect them to win At Cleveland, ... The Browns, and the home Pittsburgh game, Pittsburgh wins/ has won like 29 of the last 32, or something outrageous like that. Now, if you figure the Browns, suddenly have a @uarterback who may only throw for I47+ or - yards, and I think it's likely that Pittsburgh wins at Cleveland. The establishment wants it, and the establishment gets what the establishment wants, eventually. And by establishment I mean, New York, LA, the big markets, Hollywood, stuff like that.
Can Deshaun Watson play better for the Browns, than Baker Mayfield would have? ... Now the Games count.

Sitting at BW3s yesterday, was watching Browns and Steelers game back and forth This is what I saw from Steelers game.
1. Cincy's oline has 4 new starters Chemistry could take a few games
2. Pittsburgh oline cannot run block
3. Burrow needs to learn to stop being so cavalier With the ball. He is holding the ball too long
4. Tee Higgins got hurt. That was a turning point in the game
5. Alex Highsmith is a up and coming OLB.
6. Jamar Chase is legit.
7. Cincys defense is under rated
8.Chase Claypool looks focused
9.the fact Cincy almost won despite 5 TOs says Alot about their culture
10. Minkah Fitzpatrick is a baller.

I initially agreed with you in hoping for a tie, but in the long run, I think the Bengals will be better than the Steelers overall this season, so I'll take an L on them.
