Rams and Jags look like the best teams in the NFL. Imagine that sentence 3 years ago.

I think LAR is a very dangerous team. But they have beat up 2 not great teams thus far. Jax played Pats tough in the AFCCG and played excellent today at home. SB goes thru Jax or KC seems like.

KC D seems really bad but that might not matter. They are lighting it up

Ya. The Jax at KC game looms large for seeing which way this goes. See if Mahomes is real. But KC may be in the tougher division which may get them a few Ls. I honestly cant tell at this point.

I feel like there's about a 75% chance that any bad punt decision will result in the opponent getting back to where you had the ball in 5 plays or less.

Hey Eli, those spin outs don't work all the time for Russell Wilson, and your ancient ass is going to try one? Fool.

Flowers is soooo bad.
Giants fans absolutely HATE this guy. My coworkers are constantly whining about him. I see where they’re coming from.

Of course, the biggest problem is that the Giants actually thought that a 37 year-old Eli would be productive. He is pure garbage now.

No reason to keep letting this bum team hang around, but Dallas's offense is worthless
They can't throw. It's been a problem since about halfway through last season. It coincided with the Zeke suspension but it never returned when he came back. It's almost like it shattered Dak's confidence and he can't get it back.

They were already ready to bury Solder right alongside Flowers last week. Not pretty.

At least Solder has the age excuse if he isn’t the same guy. Flowers has been brutal from day one and has yet to improve even a little bit. Both a turnstile and a flag factory.

His technique looks terrible. He uses his hands and arms like he’s drunk.

Is it just me or does Eli get more completions by throwing to absolutely blanketed receivers than anyone else?

Oh man, I can’t wait to watch what Houston’s DL does to the Giants next weekend.

Two weeks in:

- Jacksonville looks dominant.
- Mahomes and KC look like world beaters.
- Houston, a team many people thought would be playoff bound, is 0-2 and looks ugly in the process.
- Cincy is 2-0 while Pittsburgh is 0-1-1, and should be 0-2 with one of those losses to Cleveland.
- Tampa is 2-0 with 75 points scored.
- Ryan Fitzpatrick leads the NFL with a 151.5 rating.

In other words, it's early. The Pats go to Detroit, then have home games against Miami, Indy, and KC before traveling to Buffalo and Chicago. Anything can happen of course, but it's difficult to see them any worse than 5-3, and most likely 6-2 at the midway point.

Really disturbing trend of other coaches no longer burning equity by punting on 4th and a foot.

So the announcers were going to bring in rule guy to discuss if guy was down, when the ref announced that that forward progress was stopped. Which means, of course, that he wasn't on the ground. That's the point.
