That's Embaladores vs. Águias, according to my handy-dandy Google translator.

Hope nobody gets waxed in that game.

 

Maybe the best regular season game I remember was Baltimore -KC a few years ago. Looking forward to the rematch.

 

You’re in midseason form!

 

Vao passaros roughly translates to go birds. I don’t care either way but I know too many Eagles fans who breathlessly utter that phrase.

 

Are we not getting two Monday games because we’re getting a Friday game? I suppose this was already covered when the schedules came out, but my tired brain can’t remember.

 

2 Monday games in weeks 3 and 4.

 

Hope the Eagles get Balsonaro's Revenge.

(Packers too, but I won't see them in the regular season for the first time in a hot minute.)

 

One of the strangest collection of early Sunday games - any week - I can recall.

 

After all the doom and gloom around the Niners with hold outs and hold ins, looks like they’re going to have their two big offensive weapons back for Monday. Now remains to be seen what kind of shape both are in, but it’s a positive sign.

 

Good matchups this week. However based on history, more than a handful of predicted playoff teams will miss 5hem entirely.

Niner centric but was reminded how in two quick years Purdy has gone from last pick to Pro Bowl franchise QB. Trying to remember anyone else who rocketed to stardom as quickly. Was Fidrych a late round pick? Brady was a 5th(?) but he didn’t star right away, how long did he sit, 3 yrs?

Dammit DirectTV better solve this Disney dispute, I’m getting pissed.
