Yep. That was really it. It was a non-hitting drill and Vontaze just couldn't control himself. Like usual.

I like that the Bengals aren't a complete punching bag like they used to be back in the day. Lewis deserves some credit for that. However, the lack of discipline this team consistently shows is an annual stumbling block. Burfict and Jones are the poster children.

The Bungles are a joke as long as they roster these two clowns.

Sure. Still, it's a different kind of joke than what they were in the 90s and early 00s. That stuff largely changed me from a "fan" to a spectator. Put it this way. I've cried my last tear over pro football.

Myles Garrett hurts ankle in one of the last practices before the opener...feared out for weeks.  My Browns are cursed.  F'n cursed.

Sure I wasn't expecting to be world beaters this year but at least healthy for once.

Weird night to start off with here. I have Kelce and Hill from the Chiefs and the Patriot defense. 

Of course bed time will be at the half anyway.

Glad you posted this.  Forgot there was a game tonight to start the season.  

Although like you will be in bed by halftime.  One of the big disadvantages to being in the Eastern time zones is not seeing the end of any football game that kicks of at 8:00 or later.  Might be another sign that I am getting old.

Browns will win 9 games this year. 
 

Unfortunately I'm including the 4 they won in preseason...

That's about where I have them also. Stuff breaks right for them (like Kizer hitting the grounding running), top side may be six or seven.

The Brownies get to be ole Vontaze's first game back from his most recent suspension. That's something to look forward to.

[scotth]

Good grief.... I am going to be asleep before this game even starts.  Somebody needs to wake me up when kickoff finally happens.

[mcanadiens]

So. From David Johnson to Jacquizz Rodgers in one week.

Awesome.

Fingers crossed the Rams can make it 2-0 this evening. Delighted to have AD back in that defence and think the Redskins are a good match for us to have. A nice, interesting week 1 in general so hoping for more of the same!

Glad I drafted Kerwynn Williams in the 15th round...

Ouch. ... My bruv and I picked the Cardinals in our suicide league. That was some rough watching.

Yeah it was rough. Fortunately I knew better than to start him. 

Wanted to see how they'd play him first. Didn't look good lol
 

P.S. Browns were definitely Brownsing hard yesterday.

Yup.  My Browns looked the part.  New QB gets a migraine and the rest of the team looked BLEH.  Now off to Indy to face a Luck-less team.  They are actually favored for the first time since 2015.  I'm sure they'll find a way to mess that up.

[Buckeyebowman]

I don't know that the rest of the team looked BLEH. Turn the ball over 4 times and only give up 24 points? Plus have the D on the field for that amount of time? Hey, Kizer's a rookie, and he's looking like one!

Anybody see any reason at all why Miami over NYJ isn't safe this weekend?

After a close shave with Arizona last week in the Suicide League, I'm looking for a less stressful Sunday.

Struggling a bit with this week's pick in that format too.  Miami on the road, coming from a home game in Los Angeles, crossing coasts... but up against the Jets.  Giants look bad so far this season too.  FWIW, in my league I'm debating Eagles or Dolphins this week.

Yeah. Eagles over Giants is the one my brother wants.

With a certain BM in my regular line up, I've watched the NYG crap-fests both the past two weeks. Maybe its just denial on my part, but they can't really be that bad. It would, however, be tempting to pick the Eagles and be able to save better teams for later.

Something about 0-2 makes people start worrying about their jobs.
