Raiders win, baby. The Colts aren't anything special right now, but it's still a win.

How in the world did the Ravens let that one happen? Browns should have been an easy win I guess. I guess Jimmy Smith being out really hurt the secondary, since normally they would have shut down the Browns offense. Also damn what a game that Bucs and Rams game was.

It really does feel like all our losses on defense mounted up. No Brandon Williams destroyed our run D. Pierce, Young and Peanut got wrecked without the bowling ball clogging up blockers. Losing Sizzle has hurt since the rest of the crew - besides pretty good Judon - aren't very good. They play hard but... He's always hurt so you forget how huge the Tavon Young injury was. He was rated as the best slot corner before... Now Landry is destroying us. Earl Thomas and Tony Jefferson were bust signings so having 2 good defenders (hell of a job Humphrey) against a hungry team loaded with fantasy stars is a recipe for disaster.

Coworker offered me a 3-for-$20 bet today. He wanted no part of Cleveland so I asked what other team he wanted. He picked Oakland. I laughed at him....

Man... I'm not gonna defend Vontaze Burfict too much, but I'm just gonna say that the hit on Josh Allen in the Bills vs Pats game was a lot worse. Just saying.

They knew they were about to lose and had to take out the guy that was going to beat them. Typical Belichek football.

Spying during warmups didn't work because the Bills head coach caught them so they had to resort to their last option

What was the best game you’ve seen so far?

Stefon Diggs has trade rumors surrounding him, possibly to New England

 

[Black Wizard]

Wouldn't be surprised if he requested to be traded. Can't particularly say I blame him, either. I defended the performance of Kirk Cousins last season, because a lot of their losses legitimately weren't his fault. But this year, it's all on him. The Vikings finally bolster their o-line, which was sorely needed since they were probably one of the worst lines in the league prior to this offseason, but now when it's time for Cousins to deliver - he doesn't do it.

I have zero expectations for the Raiders today.

Khalil Mack absolutely has to be double teamed, which leaves other openings. It's going to be an ugly game.

 

[Black Wizard]

Have zero expectations, and you won't be disappointed. If things go well, it's a pleasant surprise. Excellent effort by the defense making some key interceptions, pass rush was on point today. It's early, but if he keeps it up Josh Jacobs could end up as rookie of the year. Couldn't be happier today.

Green Bay making Dallas look like a joke. lol

 

[Black Wizard]

Since this week is the Raiders bye week, I feel like the game I'm most excited for is Redskins vs Dolphins.

Redskins are 0-5, Dolphins are 0-4. Somebody has to win. Part of me is hoping the game ends with a tie.

If the giants couldn't beat kirk cousins, how do they beat tom brady?

Best part of the story was how Josh Jacobs was the player you got in the Mack trade.

Let's be honest... Gruden as GM, we don't know how many good moves he'll make yet, but I'm not seeing many bad ones so far. Amari Cooper sucked in Oakland, and you couldnt afford Mack. Now look at your offense.

Personally? Eagles vs Packers or Seahawks vs Rams, Thursday Night games

 

[Black Wizard]

Patriots should be grateful their defense is so good. Watching the Giants game showed that their offense is actually not that good. Kinda had a feeling this would be Brady's last season and that hasn't changed.

Gronk will be coming out of retirement within the next few weeks.
