I love Cov and England but genuinely don’t care about the rest.

Regardless its not a better sport even though I love it

But no matter what their ego they can’t artificially fuck up competition by spending 10 times what other teams do.

If you could predict every playoff team you’d be a rich man. If you could predict the top 6 of the PL you might make 10p.

Wilson having a nightmare for the Jets. 4 picks already, 2 of them really terrible passes.
Jones looking much the better despite some real pressure from Jets outside pass rush

Miserable second half for the Seahawks, Titans deserved the win. Too many yards given away through stupid penalties. Having said that, if Myers didn't miss a PAT we'd have won the game by 1 point

New league record broken today. 9 consecutive wins scoring over 30 points.

79 points put in the opening two games (league high). It’s early days but we’re still a force to be reckoned with, on both sides of the ball.

Typical Vikings - go toe-to-toe with a very good offense then miss a simple FG to win it.
Despite 2 picks Murray was exceptional.
Vikings got real problems at corner back (particularly as they spent money on them) - zimmer's reputation as a CB guru shrinking fast.

There’s been some amazing games the first couple of weeks and some big shocks. Could be in for a great season

agreed. NFC in particular looks like it's going to really competitive.

The only thing that would worry me as a Bucs fan is that Brady normally starts slower and grows into the season to end up fully firing by the time the playoffs hit. What if this year he burns out?

Nothing else would worry me because they're stacked and playing great ball.

Next game against Rams will be interesting but Bucs have the easiest or 2nd easiest schedule.
So shouldn't be too many issues making play-offs.
But post season going to be more difficult this season with stronger NFC.

Really? Think the West makes a difference.at least 3 teams in there that could make an impact post season and who are better than they were last season.

Yeah, the west is strong without being amazing (4 decent teams) but balanced out by the likes of Packers & Saints seemingly weaker. Early days yet though.

Could be good for us. Make us call more passing plays. Been too conservative again this season.

Cousins is on fire atm - playing angry. But your defensive calls were just wrong,
Trying to protect weak corners (just like the Vikings). Man off to prevent big plays one thing but not that far off - gave up way too soft yards. But then your red zone defense was pretty good 2nd half.
Just a fine line thing from both sides when you've got 4 top WRs playing.
Mattison was good again - he's an RB1 for many teams. Had a big game at Seattle last year when Cook was hurt.

Chiefs shot themselves in the foot again.
49 ers aren't contenders with Jimmy G at QB.
Stafford was outstanding for the Rams - everyone stays healthier and they are a danger side.
Bills so full of confidence - could be their year in AFC.
Another tough week for the rookie QBs - Jones sabotaged by Jonnu Smith, Lawrence some brilliant, some garbage. Wilson & Lawrence showing highly-rated QBs can't fix bad teams on their own. Same for Fields on Bears offense.
Lamar Jackson isn't such a good passing QB - time to go back to plan A
It's not just Tua - Dolphins passing strategy/set up is just poor

2 big college games on tv tonight. Georgia vs Arkansas then Ole Miss vs Bama. That's about 15 1st & 2nd round picks in next year's draft on display plus a load of day 2 picks

Another game when weak penalties cost the Vikings.
Browns find a QB and they are an SB team.
