NFL Week 1: Eagles defend their SB championship

For me, these slight touch pass interference penalties are killing the game faster than anything.

 

His ball Zack Urtz needs to be said to spice this game up.

 

Isn't this the same game they played in the playoffs last year?

 

Right down to the finish.

 

Ian Rapaport is reporting that LeVeon Bell will do what Aaron Donald did last year, report the Saturday before the season opener. That way he cuts into the workload for this year, but still gets paid for Week 1. Like most Pittsburgh fans, I was always rooting for James Conner. I remember what he was at Pitt before he blew out his knee, which happened right before he was diagnosed with cancer. Now, there's nobody I'll be pulling for more Sunday because the kid deserves a break after all he's been through and I'd love to see Bell have to watch Conner rip off 150 yards in front of him.

That said, I still like seeing that report because I admit through my shame that I still want Bell back on the field with the Steelers this year.

 

I went to bed at halftime, because, fuck, I've gotten old, I get up at 6 to get shit done before work and I struggle to stay awake past 1030 anymore. Doesn't seem like I missed much.

 

Sark will be the first coordinator fired this year.

 

Probably split touches between the two, maybe 3-1 the first 6-7 weeks and then they will work Bell like a dog. That will be to protect Connor’s value of course.

 

The last couple of minutes were interesting. Other than that, this was one dogshit game.

 

I'm a Falcons fan, and I checked out late 3rd.
That red zone offense is offensive.

 

As a Devonta Freeman fantasy owner, I can't complain that he didn't get his chances. They fed him on all four red-zone opportunities on that first drive. Cest la vie.

 

Sarkisian needs to either start drinking again or stop drinking again. Whatever he isn't doing now.
