Seattle’s lime green unis are ugly, but they pop on the tv screen .

Metcalf with a fumble, nice play by the Broncos defender to rip it out

Wow. Denver, two fumbles inches away from a TD.. ey ey ey.

The NFL is messed up. . So they want to put, SNF, MNF, and TNF on network TV during the first week of the season,
but most of the year 2 of those aren't. And one will spend a lot of time on computer streaming only.
Stopped looking for it, didn't even see it until now.
Denver just lost this game.
More games are lost than won, Bill Bellichic.

For all the complaining aboiut the roughing the passer call Sunday - and how a DL can sack a QB at full speed without landing their weight on the QB .... watch the Sack Russell Wilson takes at 8:28 in the 4th Q. Almost an exact replica of the sack - but he shows you how to not land on the QB with his body weight. Text book. . . . and I think Denver is coming back to win.

No way will the Refs allow the Broncos to win this game. oh well.

Geo Smith is playing lights out tonight

I wonder how they'll keep Denver Down, by the end of this game, pretty sure it'll work out that way though.

Such an odd ending to the game last night (what else is new in Seattle?) … they were in no-man’s land and just let the clock go to kick a 64 yarder!!

Denver was extremely undisciplined and was awful in the red zone all night

Great clock management and decision making by Hackett at the end of the game.

After the game, the doofus said something like "I think we just took a sack."

It was very mind boggling

To be fair on the clock vs FG attempt - the kicker easily had the leg and it was a 4th down and 5. I would have tried to pick up 5 yards and taken a time out - with 20 seconds left and a time out available, that was still an option. They decided to have faith in the kicker. Not calling a time out as soon as the previous play was blown up was just rookie/bad HC stuff. I'm not sure it changed the outcome of the game. With 40 seconds left and 4th and 5 and time outs available you can go for it. With 20 seconds left and 4th and 5 with time outs available you can still go for it if you choose.

With 1:00 left and 3 TO’s, my instinct was to run a play fairly quickly. Even if you don’t convert, there will be around 55 seconds left AND you still have 3 TO’s. You can still get the ball back with over 30 seconds remaining

He didn't sound too bright in the presser but it was his first game. Apparently he's well respected. I never heard of the guy.

He's the son of Paul Hacket, the long time QB coach and OC in the NFL. He was also HC at Pit in college.] He was our QB coach for a couple of years back in the 80s. You remember him, right? He was a well-respected coach.

His son, now the Denver coach was the OC for Green Bay. I think he was the OC in Buffalo and one other team. You are right, it's one game. Not career defining, but that was a bad look.

Here is one thing to consider. Denver gave up a ton of picks for Russ. They are paying him huge money. He isn't Jacoby Brissett. He's not Drew Lock or T. Bridgewater. You gave up all those picks and paid him huge money to elevate others and the team. Instead, he relied on a kicker to boot at 64 yarder at sea level. The game was not in Denver. What I found most frustrating was how they let the clock just keep ticking and ticking. You have to be thinking ahead in that situation.

I agree. I think most people agree.

Put the ball in Wilson's hands and expect your offense to execute. Nobody is looking at you cross-eyed for passing on a 64yd attempt. If you fail, then the defense needs to step up and get you the ball back.

Vers' response paints the picture... a new coach, NOT thinking ahead. And then the ticking clock makes "decision constipation" worse... and probably played a role in him opting for the FG, because he would like like a fool for letting it tick away if he decides to go for it.

j/c:

The Seahawks/Broncos game was a really good game to watch. Fans were pumped/LOUD! On one hand I was rootin' for Denver because I like Wilson, but on the other hand it didn't really matter to me much who won - I just wanted a good, competitive game to watch and that's pretty much what we got. Geno Smith played rather well. Surprised.

I actually liked the Seahawks uniforms. Kinda gaudy, but they really pop out at ya on TV. "I know what team they are." lol

Of course Watt wouldn't perform surgery on himself! Sorry, had to get a dig at Schefter's error there.

I think that still goes back to my earlier statement, though. I doubt it'll be 100% at the end of that period. I wonder if - whatever is wrong with it - will be healed up enough for him to play at 100%, or could there be a chance he could screw himself up more?

Watt will be back by the 2nd half of the year, so the division race will be interesting. I don’t see Cincy or Baltimore running away with it by then

One of the many reason why I prefer to watch from home than go to a stadium.

Watched the Bengals Steelers game.....


The Bengals may be the most overconfident group in the NFL week 1. Strutting around like they weren't turning it over every drive.


TJ Watt was outrageous!



Forcing your way out of cities and losing to your old team lmao, wild week 1

A number of years ago, 7-8? At Cleveland. We parked at about 10 a.m. Setting up the tailgate. Lady beside us, in her vehicle - you could tell she puked outside, but in her vehicle, passed out, with vomit all over her, and the car seat.

Cincy, back in 1994 or so? Left my seat to go get a beer. Waiting in line and some "lady" tapped me on the back. I turned around. She face raked me, knocking my hat off as well, then said "what are you gonna do about it?" And immediately there were 15-20 bengals fans around me. I just picked up my hat.

Sad it can be that way.

Was that all from this past weekend?

Sheesh! That is upsetting.

....and we thought the black hole was bad!
