My Seahawks are alone in 1st place in the NFC West.

Probably the only week I'll get to say that.

Yeah, there was initially because they ran the play clock all the way down before the timeout.

Even if the Broncos convert the field goal, that still leaves the Seahawks time to run a couple of plays and get back in field goal range themselves.

That whole drive didn't make a lot of sense.

Running that time off to attempt a 64 yard FG is ridiculous IMO. Kicker is solid, but his career long is 61. Another quick out or two would've made the attempt more reasonable.

I wouldn't be worried about the minimal time left for the Seahawks, get the lead first. This isn't Mahomes, it's Geno to plan against.

Thanksgiving but he deciding between LA and Buffalo.


After week one, that decision comes down to personal opportunity vs Super Bowl odds. The Rams need him much more than the Bills. The Bills already have 4 WR in play, plus the rookie likely to slot in as needed too.

The Browns won their season opener for only the third time since their return in '99. If I was still drinking I'd be hungover today. It's the little things ya gotta celebrate.

Other than the 12 being ridiculously loud...this is not what I expected to see.

It would've been more surprising if we hadn't seen a lot of this all weekend. The teams that didn't play their starters in preseason started slow as usual. Broncos can only blame themselves for that loss with those two red zone turnovers.

The whole drive didn't make much sense. There was no sense of urgency. In that situation, you get into at least field goal range as quickly as possible...then start burning clock.

And even if they get the ball back with time on the clock, as you point out, it's Geno Smith...so you take your chances.

Penalties and very questionable red zone play calling twice cost the Broncos greatly.

Thought that 64 yard attempt was insane. And not taking the points twice was just stupid.

My quest to defend my Fantasy football title is already in serious jeopardy:
Najee Harris - foot shit. Says he’ll likely play but this is the kind of thing that can linger all season for a skill player
Tee Higgins - takes a concussion in the same game as Harris
Chris Godwin - dude gets cleared to come back on his knee and he blows a hammy right before halftime the other night.

That worm has turned. Had great injury luck last year but it’s coming back in spades this season.
Tee Higgins screwed me in a couple leagues. Also have Dak in a couple leagues but he can be replaced

I was psyched when I was the last guy in my league to draft a QB and AR12 fell to me haha. Oh my god. His WRs looked out matched. They need Lazard back and they need each of those guys to step forward. I may be QB shopping on the waiver wire this week as insurance.

That being said, I still won my game this week by 35 points.

He got to retire if he lose this...im not even joking
Hey, do you know who PNB Rock is?

Never heard his music.

But, when will these people learn to stop sharing their locations?

Fucking out of towners living out their ghetto dreams by eating at roscoes chicken and waffles and advertising it on social media.

They think when people say LA, its the wealthy neighborhoods like Encino or Beverly Hills.

No.

You are in fucking Gangland Inglewood and you let every savage in the area know that.

Just like that, he's dead.

Know of him. Never heard his solo stuff but he's done a feature here and there from people i listen to but yeah his girl dropped the ball big time. I'm a normal ass person and unless im at a big ass event (sports/concert), the times that i do post something with the location on IG, I'm already long gone and in the crib. But in addition to his girl making that crucial mistake, you can't walk around Inglewood with the jewelry he had on with no security or gun? Got to be smarter than that. So many celebrities (especially rappers) die in LA

Yeah, with few exceptions, I think a team should always take the points, especially in the NFL. There's too little gap in talent, even between a good team and a bad one to be passing on chances to put points up.
