NFL - NEWS & NOTES

Eagles on the board, 17-7.

Jackson

 

Dolphins are horrible...no way should the Ravens have 42 in 1 half. Almost looks like they're practicing against air...

 

Browns now have 5 available OL. Robinson ejected for kicking a Titan safety, and his backup questionable to return with a knee injury. 12-6 Titans up at the half

 

Eagles come back. They are up, 21-20.

 

Ravens put up 49 so far...

 

Up to 52.

 

Sammy Watkins 3 TDs and 198 yards.

 

Ravens have more points than the Dolphins have run plays. 52 points vs 41 plays (excluding punts)

 

Eagles score again. 29-20

 

Jacksonville backup Gardner Minshew does not look half bad. Been gashing the Chiefs for big plays, threw his first TD to Dede Westbrook. Still down 3 scores, 37-19

 

Bills go up late by 1 over the Jets...

 

CBS announcer: "Buffalo comes into New York to win on opening day."
Actually Buffalo left New York to go to New Jersey to win

 

Nick Foles out indefinitely with a clavicle fracture on his TD pass. Rookie Gardner Minshew is now the starter. He had a decent game. One of my top QBs and one of the few outside the obvious few early ones I thought had a real chance to be a starter given the opportunity. I really wanted the Eagles to draft him. Thought Thorson was a solid backup but he dodnt even make the practice squad after a horrid preseason.

I was back and forth on the Jags and Titans for the division. Looks like it's likely the Titans after the injury.

 

This is great. I wish more people understood that Buffalo is the only team actually in New York. It makes teasing NYG and NYJ fans so much more satisfying.

That Nick Foles, the injury replacement success, is out the first game of the season with a serious injury (that's one that takes a while to heal, and is an easy reoccurrence)... just too ironic and crazy, man. Poor Jags fans.

Also: do the Dolphins win a game this season? Seriously - this team is that bad, and I have no doubt the organization is totally fine with losing for the top draft pick.

 

0-16 looks like a safe bet, imo. They claim their not tanking... that just means they are.

 

well he wasn't alone. McNabb had to hide behind Reid, which didn't help.
