Interesting observations from week 1

[BarkdogRX7]

The Browns and Bengals are crap teams but always play epic games when they play, man.

Bradford and Stafford both go down...sucks to be them

Ravens PWN the Steelers. Ed Reed starts the year off with 2 INT's, well here we go, cant wait til Champ moves back to safety lol.

Chiefs start with a dud...wow.

Megatron is a straight beast.

And the 2nd half games haven't started yet.

Any thoughts?

Methinks SD special teams might be their achillies again.

They play epic games when they play?

What game were you watching?

I hate being right, but as I have said for some time - I told you so.

Cam Netwon is looking solid in his debut.

Hey Charlie,
If your such a negative fan hate 99.3 percent of your team then why do you bother liking the Browns? Better yet why do you even post about the Browns? I thought they looked alright with exception of that boneheaded TD for AJ Green. They are a young team that needs help in certain areas but not all is bad. I think they beat the Colts next week and then beat the Dolphins the week after. I see them at 6-8 wins this year. Keep your head up the worst thing that can happen is they stay bottomfeeders

With the 1st pick of 2012 NFL draft, the Seattle Seahawks select...

Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford

[jetdrumz]

Cam Netwon is looking solid in his debut.

Even when he doesn't look great, they find a positive in it....smh.

Jason La Canfora
Newton throws his first pick, and then nearly forces a fumble with the tackle.

[Jay3]

Colt McCoy is going to set the NFL record for shortest YPA this year. He should get an endorsement deal with Dunkin' Donuts.

[Diehard Pistons Fan]

Bradford and Stafford both go down...sucks to be them

Not sure what you mean here? Stafford stood tall and threw for 300 yards with three touchdowns. Only health problem was some cramping due to the Tampa heat.

I'm seeing some impact plays by the rookies here in week 1 that fosters optimism in Von. Cobb returning the kick the other night. Kerrigan with the pick returned for a TD. Cam coming out strong.. that's just off the top of my head.

[draco193]

So far, anyone that has been worried about kick returns being boring, shouldn't be worried. Plenty of touchbacks, but, lots of big returns as well.

[HurricaneDovs]

Patrick Peterson making his presence felt. Punt return for a TD.

I hate being right, but as I have said for some time - I told you so.

During that stretch in the second quarter, you guys looked like the better team. You capitalized on a couple of busted coverages and a mismatch in the end zone (Hall on Moore? That's not ideal for us at all), and you looked like you were going to cruise to victory when Dalton didn't go back on the field in the second half.

I simply cannot believe that your defense let us get away with that pass to Green. I'm still rubbing my eyes and wondering if I'm dreaming. I mean, I was pretty confident we'd win, but that's not how I saw it going down at all.

Good luck the rest of the way, and at least we can both take pleasure in the fact that the Steelers got absolutely destroyed by the Ravens today. If it can't be us, I'm rooting for Baltimore.
