National Football League

Raiders look like they could finish 1-16 at this point. I posted elsewhere, maybe here, the Raiders have a very poor OL, one good player in Kolton Miller (on IR). And their DL is almost as bad, with one excellent player in Maxx Crosby. Games are won and lost at the line of scrimmage, the the Raiders are maybe the worst in the league there.

Geno Smith has also played maybe the worst ball of his career.

Phenomenal Bronco game - had to be one of the best comebacks that I can remember, especially on the road. Down 17-3 in the 4th Qtr, the Broncos score 15 points in 5 minutes stunning the Eagles. Gutsy call for Payton to go for 2 when the Broncos scored their 2nd TD down by one with still 6 mins to go. Nix came alive in the 4th Qtr after an anemic first 3 quarters of play. Good performances also from Dobbins & Sutton. And how about that Denver D stuffing Barkley to a mere 30 yds & Hurts to 15. Hurts looked shell shocked out there with their running game going nowhere. A signature win for the Broncos & I think they showed they can play with the top teams in the league. The AFC West is going to get very interesting.

Welcome back Jayden Daniels - solid victory on the road. And what's wrong with Herbert? Trying to mount a comeback down 20-10 in the 4th Qtr, he throws a pick at the goal line? Lol. He's now thrown more picks than all of the last year! If this keeps up, I predict a change to Trey Lance. Harbough simply won't put up with this nonsense. Herbert isn't playing anything close to last year.

Am I reading the stat sheet correctly with Mayfield in the road win over the Hawks; 379 yds (29/33), 2 scores & a Rtg of 134.7! Plus 15 yds rushing for almost 400 yds of total O. No Evans, no Irving - is Mayfield bucking for "Tier 1" status. Lol. Bucs at 4-1 are starting off the season with a vengeance.

And the Buccs are doing it without irving and their number one WR. Should be a good game with the 49ers next week.

Another heart-skipping win for Baker, Tampa over Seattle. Tough luck for Darnold, who had an otherwise good day.

Miami folded like a cheap suit against the Panthers.

Impressive last drive by Cam Ward for the Titans who were dead in the water. Arizona folded like a deck of cards.

Good win for the Broncos, the Eagles looked tired as the game went on.

Washington simply a better team than the Chargers. Impressive play by Daniels!

Jets fall to 0-5. Gang green is simply cursed. Worse than the Raiders.

Ravens implosion is still the story of the year so far. Only 6% of all teams that start 1-4 make the playoffs. They currently look like one of the worst teams in the league, and have without question the worst defense in the league, having given up 177 points (20 more than the 2nd place Jets) over 35 points per game average. They are 2nd in yards given up to Dallas.

Good win for the Patriots and Maye was channeling his inner Mahomes/Allen to extend plays while Diggs was torching the defense again. Bills walked into a trap game with Allen’s interception, the fumbles, and the penalties adding up. With the Ravens floundering it opens up the seventh for the Patriots to get in.

Eagles luck finally ran out but that doesn’t mean they’re not the 2024 Chiefs. I don’t think they’ll get the one seed though and that it’ll be between Lions and Bucs.

Lions looked great and SNF next week along with MBF in two weeks will be great games. Thankfully I’m off for both.
