Gotta watch the game in Paul Brown.

Its lulzy seeing the Bengal's fans go ape shit over an interception and automatically think they just won the game.

Then Green Bay got a Pick 6 and half of them stood up and left.

If it was a top ten list the rams would be 6 on mine so it's not that big of a differnce. However i think the bills will have a good year.

Fitzpatrick is alright not worth the contract but his not awfull. Plus they have a good defence and running game. I don't think they will make the playoff but they can make it to 8 and 8 or 9 and 7.

Is American football actually interesting? Apparently rugby far surpasses the sport because of its greater contact and lack of protective clothing and equipment. Oh and does it provide one with adrenaline and satisfaction? Well rugby union has great support and observations and reports of the audience's "feel" for the event is astounding. I believe they are of the same nature. I would like to learn more about this seemingly satisfying if not adequate sport.

They've failed to get a offensive touchdown.

The Titans are taking a chance, I think. They seem to think they have to start Locker because they drafted him so high. If this experiment fails, they have a solid proven No. 2...or will Hasselbeck be resentful and unmotivated?

Young? You mean WILSON.

Perhaps its because while Flynn managed the game's pretty well, he never flashed or sparked the way Russell Wilson did. He led Seattle to scores on their first 6 drives against a Kansas City Defense that is, contrary to popular opinion, not at all a pushover (They were incredibly injured last season).

Also, they didnt pay Flynn lawl amounts of money. Its 19.5mn total over 3 years with 10mn Guaranteed. Idk what his actual for sure cap number is for the season, but its probably no more than 4-5mn. Peyton Manning got $20mn for this season despite no real guarantee he will return to former glory (Which seems to be the case with his arm strength so far. Decision making is still good, but his arm isnt there currently).

Russell Wilson so far has shown incredible skill sets and play making ability, which explains why if he had been four inches taller he most likely would've been a top 10 pick. Before Tannehill for sure, maybe even before Griffin. (Wilson is 5' 11'' iirc).
In other words, conservatives are generous with their own money, and liberals are generous with other peoples money.
