NFL 2018 Week 2

Now I understand all the Connor MacGregor quips today...

Florida teams 2-0 against SB winners today. Also can’t wait to see how Reid crushes the hopes and dreams of his new QB.

Which Bucs QB is the sexual predator again?

TIL: The Lions have gone four seasons without having a 100 yard performance from a RB.

That last 100 yd rushing game was November 28, 2013, a Thanksgiving game, and the runner was Reggie Bush.

The Ringer just noticed too.

Meanwhile, the Dolphins are leading the AFC East, there have been two ties, Josh Gordon survived substance abuse then got released for falling off a table during a photoshot, Vontae Davis retired midway through a game and Bortles dropped 350 yards and four touchdowns on the Patriots.

I know the NFL is trying to win viewers back but their storyline writers can afford to calm down a bit.

I don't get this. Also: I'm old.

Wait, so the Bucs dude isn't a photoshopped Conor on a Bucs background?

Lol! (But mostly at me)

Ryan Fitzpatrick is awesome. Nice to see him being awesome on the field in a sh*tty situation. Hope he forces the Bucs to keep Winston on the bench.

Why do they not learn that the Giants, for the most part, stink on prime time? Yet they still schedule them for night games.

Going to be a long season or more for us fans if they don’t straighten out their o line problems.

^This!

The Giants are 0-2... again. They've been 0-2 in five of the last 6 years. And they'll be 0-2 next year unless they fix their offensive line.

But, of course, they decided that this year the solution to all their woes was to draft a running back in the first round, and pay him a guaranteed $39 million! That's a lot of money to pay someone to help Eli Manning off the ground several times a game.

What's so disappointing is that they've got some great offensive weapons. Beckham JR, Engram, Shepherd. they should be giving opposing defences nightmares.

Did you guys see this sh*t?

If the embed doesn't work right, go to 5 min 10 seconds and watch the clip with Sean McVay. Nuts.

Well said. Only a matter of time that if this continues, the defense will get frustrated as well, if they aren’t already, and we will then see blowouts.

My wife is really pulling for Fitz to keep up the good play so Winston does not come back.

I don't think this is Wilks' call, honestly. I blame upper management for spending a sh*t ton of money on a wannabe Alex Smith QB. As much as I want to see Rosen play, I'm scared he'll get killed behind Arizona's OL. He's no A A Ron Rodgers at escaping stuff.

That's amazing!

Fitzmagic in that press conference :

"I can only do two more [questions] because DeSean needs his clothes back."
"Is any of that yours?"
"The chest hair is mine."

Between Josh Gordon and Zaney G, the only solace I have this week is my best friend is a Bills fan and I can throw Vontae Davis in her face.

The Cardinals face the the Mackdashians next week. I expect Bradford will still be starting so Rosen doesn't get eaten alive.

Expect Rosen to start week 4 at home against the Seahawks though.

That was ... a pretty good weekend of football!

* Browns cut their best player right before Sunday's game, then lost a chance to tie when they missed a chippie FQ. (And then in typical Browns fashion, they went after the wrong Zane Gonzalez).

* There was a tie!

* A guy retired at halftime.

* Cam nearly got decapitated, but drew the flag *and* had the guy tossed. )Stupid Panthers still lost because they forgot how to catch and play run D.)

* The three Florida teams (Jax, Fins, Bucs) are combined 6-0 after two weeks.

* The breakout QB stars of the season are Patrick Mahomes and Conor McGregor.

Did I miss anything?

One of my coworkers is a Bills fan and he is apoplectic about the Davis thing.

It's funny how every outbreak of FitzMagick has people forgetting the FitzTragick.

This time though I am cheering for him. If he has another game like this, how do you bench him?

When left alone against backups seems to be the only time we hear from Mr. Fowler in games.

A backup RT that shut out JJ Watt, Von Miller, Joey Bosa, and Khalil Mack in his 2017 efforts.

Then he runs into Dante Fowler and:

Fowler > Watt/Miller/Bosa/Mack? It's not me saying it, it's LaAdrian Waddle's stat sheet saying it.

Gonna be a great Raven next year.

Shocking news: Both the Browns and the Vikings have signed new kickers.

Yeah, when I was telling my wife about both teams' misfortunes we both figured the kickers were done by today.

While I agree on the OLine thing, if you take Barkley out of the mix last night do the Giants have any offense? He is a beast and already looks good. He could be great.

Dammit.
