Indianapolis @ Buffalo
The Bills defense comes out fired up, and keeps things close, but Luck and the Colts pull away late.
Pick: Indianapolis 23, Buffalo 16
Green Bay @ Chicago
Green Bay begins the year with a layup.
Pick: Green Bay 38, Chicago 17
Kansas City @ Houston
Andy Reid’s Chiefs have come crashing down to Earth since the 9-0 start and are a mediocre bunch. Houston wins low-scoring affair at home.
Pick: Houston 20, Kansas City 16
Carolina @ Jacksonville
The Jaguars put together a strong effort at home and upset the wounded Panthers.
Pick: Jacksonville 26, Carolina 20
Cleveland @ New York Jets
The Jets are nothing special, but Todd Bowles’ group should win their home opener against an awful Browns team.
Pick: New York 23, Cleveland 14
Seattle @ St. Louis
The Seahawks defense is missing some key talent, but they’ll still hold down Nick Foles and the Rams.
Pick: Seattle 30, St. Louis 13
Miami @ Washington
Miami gets a win over the league’s biggest dumpster fire.
Pick: Miami 27, Washington 17
New Orleans @ Arizona
The now-healthy Cardinals outscore the new-look Saints.
Pick: Arizona 28, New Orleans 24
Detroit @ San Diego
The Chargers may get better as the season goes along, but they don’t have the talent to keep up with the Lions
Pick: Detroit 24, San Diego 20
Baltimore @ Denver
I don’t think Peyton Manning can make it through an entire season at this point, but the Ravens don’t have the firepower to beat Denver on the road.
Pick: Denver 27, Baltimore 23
Cincinnati @ Oakland
The Raiders finally have a little bit of talent to work with, but the Bengals go on the road and beat them. Cincy’s defense is the difference.
Pick: Cincinnati 26, Oakland 16
Tennessee @ Tampa Bay
Winston vs Mariota! Advantage goes to Winston and his superior skill-position players at home.
Pick: Tampa Bay 24, Tennessee 10
New York Giants @ Dallas
The Giants don’t have the defense to hold back the Cowboys, Dallas rolls to 1-0.
Pick: Dallas 30, New York 20
Minnesota @ San Francisco
The Vikings are a trendy pick to be a surprise team this year, and they should get off on the right foot against the depleted 49ers.
Pick: Minnesota 24, San Francisco 13
Philadelphia @ Atlanta
I don’t think the Falcons have the defensive talent to hold back the Eagles.
Pick: Philadelphia 30, Atlanta 21
Beware of road favorites …week one .
I kind of like the Home Buffalo Bills over the visiting Colts
The Home SD Chargers over the Lions in San Diego
Best Games of the Day
Ravens/Broncos & Saints/Cardinals & Colts/Bills
Lots of boring match-ups…
Looks like I did ok taking Home Underdogs Buffalo over the Colts and the Chargers over the Lions..
nice one PMan
Carolina is gonna lose that game b/c their wide receivers can’t catch the ball.
If Jags can’t take advantage than all the talk of being improved is for naught.
WTH is going on with the Buffalo/Colts game?
Anyone watching?
Shady 5 carries -5 yards! Lol
You don’t run on Miami’s D.
shady isn’t playing miami…
Bills 17-0 over Overrated Colts..
McCoy has 7 Carries for 7 Yards
QB Tyrod Taylor has 55 Yards on 6 Rushes/Scrambles
Karlos Williams 1 Carry for 30 Yards, Percy Harvin 1 Carry for 9 Yards and4 Receptions for 76 Yards with 1 TD
Percy Harvin a complete wildcard, if he remains healthy with WR’s Sammy Watkins & Robert Woods, with TE Clay, and RB’s McCoy, Brown & Williams andamobile QB inTyrod Taylor, they may have the most dangerous Offense’s in the NFL in terms of matching up with outside speed
And you are so right.
Complete wrong team.
Bills Up 7-0
Redskins D-Jax out for Game after re-pulling Hamstring and could be out for a few weeks
Cam Newton throws a terrible Int under no Pressure
Browns QB J McNown, Johnny Football comes in and tosses a 50 Yard TD pass to put the Browns up..
Each year gets worse and worse in terms of Quality Football being played at the Start of the Season as more and more Teams are afraid of Injuries during the pre-season and the overall lack of contact during less and less practice makes for some shoddy play for the first few weeks anymore…
Toss in the Heat, Conditioning, New Coach’s & Players and the first few weeks on the NFL Season is really an extension of Pre-Season but it’s like this for everyone so the experienced Teams withStable Coaching Staffs and Systems really have an edge out of the gate and should take advantage
Good ole kurt cousins with pick and jpp hand is plain horrible shouldnt play football
I mean I get they don’t want RG3 to play, but I was always like why does anyone think Cousins would be any better.
One takes too may sacks. The other makes too many interceptions.
NY Jets CB Cromartie is carted off the field with an apparent leg/knee Injury
KC Cheifs blowing out Texans 26-7 as Alex Smith is 15-20 for 3 TD’s so far
Henski’s favorite Player TE Travis Kelce has 7 Catches for 70 yards & 2 TD’s
Panther Cam Newton with a bullet to WR J Crotchery for a TD to put the Panthers up 10-3 with a minute to go until Halftime
Kuechly down with a head/concussion/neck stinger type of injury and heading to locker room
Panthers season keep getting worse.
Bortles looks much MUCH improved.
Bortles has a very good arm and has quickened his mechanics and the ball is coming out like a laser.. They will Win some games this Season
Saints Safety Jarius Byrd Inactive for this afternoon
I told everyone during his Free-Agency period 2 years ago to stay away due to being injury prone.. I also stated that he would not be around to fulfill his 5 Year Contract with the Saints and I still stand by this.. Bad Signing by the Saints
fraud, do you remember how angry the meat heads were when we signed jenkins instead of this dude!
Yes I do.. Just about everyone wanted the Eagles to break the bank for Jaris Byrd.. I just saw him as too much of a risk…
GMCliff liked Malcolm Jenkins who has worked out well..
There was Alvin Bethea who I liked who has played well for the 49ers
I hope CB Byron Maxwell plays well for he will never be worth his Massive Contract but as long as he plays like a #1 CB then so be it..
Rams QB Nick Foles Scores on a 1 yard TD Run to put the Rams up 17-13 over the Seahawks .. Foles is 10-13 for 148 Yards with 0 TD & 0 Int though he has Fumbled..
The Rams D Line is taking to the Seahawks so far. They have sacked Wilson 4 times.
Panthers CB Josh Norman jumps an out route on Bortles and rambles 30 Yards for a cheap Panther TD and a 17-9 Lead
Now the Rams returned a punt for a TD.
Dolphins LT Brandon Albert leaves field with a lower leg injury
Jaguars LT Luke Joeckel leaves game with Ankle Sprain
Panthers RT Daryl Williams leaves game with Knee Injury
SL RamsTayvon Austin returns a Punt 75 Yards for a TD as Rams take a commanding 24-13 Lead over the Seahawks.. Nick Foles cheering from the sidelines… This Seahawk Team window has closed and will not be dominating anyone this year as they have lost quality players, have current players not happy with contracts, traded for high paid Softee in Jimmy Graham and have a lot of unrest
It’s one game.
But I suspect they will be paying Kam.
Pead may have just fumbled away STLs chances, driving to the 25 and he gave it up…disastrous turnover…..Wilson thrives in the down by a bit late 4th situations….
Seahawks have a lot more issues than Kam Chancellor
RB M Lynch still unhappy, DTl Michael Bennett unhappy
They’ve lost 2 DC’s and 3-4 Asst Coach’s the last 2 Off-Seasons
No one likesTE Jimmy Graham and his attitude ..
They have not addressed their biggest weakness which is their OL
and still don’t have a true #1 WR on the outside ..
Rams will not recover from that fumble. SHit teams cannot recover from emotional disasters like that….game was won….fumble….game is now tied…..I predict a collapse…..always happens with insecure teams…
The collapse just happened because Foles with his typical slow pocket awareness and inability to hold on to the ball…..
Hes a bum.
Kam Chancellor has nothing to do with this game. They gave up special teams TD and the offense looked horrendous early.
Max Unger looks like a bigger loss than Kam Chancellor in this game.
The Seahawks have given up less than 75 yards on 20 some odd rushes.
The deal about Foles is not his “talent” or “ability”. I’ll give you Bradford has better there. But the Rams offensive players unanimously voted him Captain after only a couple weeks of practice. They are rallying around the guy….hopefully Eagles will do the same with Bradford.
Bortles with a terribly telegraphed pass….still young.
Johnny Manziel with one of his 7 td passes this year.
I think if a guy dives forward, stretches the ball out and the ball comes out when it hits the ground should be a fumble, not a “down by contact”….talking to you Russel Wilson.
Andy Reid annoying fantasy owners everywhere. Up 3 tds and Charles with only 11 carries. No one in North America started Alex Smith.
Is Luck overrated? Seems to me he gets a lot of “Brett Favre” like press.
Luck is a very good young QB. He will have a long prosperous career. And likely win a suoer bowl or two one day.
He’s just not as good as the media would have you believe.
Jay Cutler standing arms folded on the sidelines with his patented “we’re finished – I give up” face on in a 1 pt game.
Is there a starting QB with worse body language/facial expressions when things are going wrong? Even a little bit?
Please shut up about Foles Vinnie you sound like an idiot. Put your man crush away and just shut up.
His pocket awareness sucks. Point blank period.
Rams game is going to have a good finish to watch…. Tie game!
Nope…collapse after the Pead fumble. As predicted.
Insecure teams cannot handle shit like that – game in hand, whooops…..wipeout,
Its a predictable as Cutler folding up in the 2nd half against GB.
Was tied…. lol
Foles Fumbles andCary Williams returns for a Seahawk TD as they now leads 30-24 .. Seahawks Score 18 Points in the last 6 minutes of the game..
The Rams took the ball out of Foles hands and made him a game manager. He was doing nothing special. His pocket awareness in the rush has been atrocious and he had two fumbles and choked it up in crunch time.
Eerily similar to his play here last year. No different. Hes nothing special.
If they “took the ball out of his hands” Why do they have 25 called passes and 19 called runs.
Why do you have to make shit up to prove your point?
They have 23 carries of the football in the game. Stop your nonsense. You know shit.
Poor Rams
Cutler int with 3:40 to go!! LOL
Too easy.
That Int actually began 10 mins before with his standing on the sideline looking finished.
Foles collapse started as soon as you started singing his unwarranted praises.
Vinniw your lover looks bad on sideline slumped shoulders……dude hesgone move on
Cam Newton leads a 8 Minute Drive in which they converted 4 3rd Down Plays which lead to a FG for the Panthers to take 20-9 lead with 2 minutes left to put the game away
Vinnie we discussed this why are still on foles..fuck up
I have talked about Bortles, Cutler, Newton, Manziel, Luck AND Foles in this thread.
Strange that you 2 only noticed one of them.
Seems to me only Izell and Zilents hung up on Foles today.
Oh Wilson too of course…..you saw that right….posts on Cutler, Luk, WIlson, Foles, Bortles, Newton….
No…didn;t see those….tunnel vision on Foles right? And I am the one with an issue?
We are supposed to care about ALL your posts? Complex much? STFU already.
Panthers LB Thomas Davis picks off Jaguars QB Bortles to put the game away
This Panthers have very few Offensive weapons but are going to be a tough team..Their OL looks better, Cam Newton looks quicker and motivated RB J Stewart looks quicker & healthy and they probably have a Top 5 Defense and are able to get pressure on QB’s with just their Front 4 without having to blitz which is huge for pass coverages.. DC Sean McDermott called a nice game and remember that LB Kuecley sat out the 2nd Half
Foles looked good on that drive
Jaguars Rashad Green with 7 Catches today but has taken 3-4 big hits was knocked out again by Panthers CB Bene Bewierke who is going to be a stud in the NFL as he gains more experience
Hmm… they must have put the ball back in Foles hands….. Tie game again.
Deon Bailey tripped. That is all.
He must have been tripping all day, along with the rest of the defensive backs. Foles had a 117.5 QB rating – 11 YPA…. 69% completion.
Stop hating…
Lol now this is an actual factual response.
Against the Seahawks you forgot to mention
Miami got the win! Nice
I want to talk about Henry Burris playing for the Ottawa Redblacks against the BC Lions right now. Big game for both teams.
Will that somehow come back to Foles?
Looks like you want more attention as usual.
Tell me more about who has the ball in their hands.
They HAD to throw the ball…THEY WERE TRAILING DUMMY.
All roads point to foles with you vinnie just stfu
Pete Carroll just got saved on a bonehead call.
Foles went at Sherman and berry!
Man foles is balling…..umma bequiet now……made a real good throw to bailey….sry vinnie
Cardinals get on the board fast with aTD Pass from Carson Palmer to my main man John Brown Jr… WR John Brown Jr is going to have a breakout season and will end up with more Yards & TD’s than D-Jax in 2015 ..
Foles with the clutch win!
Poor Rams?
SuperBowl week 1?
Foles looked good today. The O line can’t be used as an excuse no more to justify poor play as they looked solid. Good Rams win over the Seahawks. Bradford’s turn to lead the Eagles…game on Chip!
Oh the Foles excuses will start once the week 1 shine wears off.
Nobody cares enough to make excuses for Foles…. He plays for the Rams now.
I will say this about Pete Corroll’s call. He must of had no confidence in his defenses ability to stop Foles. Can’t think of any other reason to try an onsides kick.
DT Aaron Donald is a Beast as he stuffs RB M Lynch on a 4th & 1 play to Win the Game… Rams are Sky High rolling into Week #2
Aaron Donald is the best player on that defense and that is saying ALOT.
He’s a stud and will only get better and better …
If their Offense puts up 24 + Pts a Game, they will be tough to beat
I don’t see any difference from the Rams though outside of their pass rush has returned from their abysmal play last year.
They will fold by week 8.
RB Todd Gurley could give the Rams that big play type of RB they haven’t had in a while..It will probably be another few weeks before he’s 100% but could be a big piece for the Rams come the 2nd half of the Season
Gurley & Cunningham could make a nice Duo
Jakedog gonna go off tonite on foles
I saw Jake at the Airport holding a Sign “St Louis or Bust” as he was getting carried away by Airport Police into a Paddy-Wagon…
He was probably screaming “White Power” too.
Foles played well today.
Seahawks go on the road to Green Bay next week who will be out for revenge and will drop TE Seahawks to 0-2 for the Season
And it will mean nothing and they will probably be one of the hottest teams going into the playoffs by the end of the year.
NFC Championship
St Louis Rams vs Carolina Panthers
JaMarcus Winston…err I mean Jameis Winston.
*rolls eyes*
lmao you would TS 🙂
At least we agree on something. JaBustus Winston. Mariotta the much better pick.
Why you hate Foles so much? Kid has balls. Teammates love him. Counts for something. I hope Bradford has the same.
If not…….do you understand the carnage? All on the trade….Bradford fails and its new coach, Roseman back, top 5 pick in 2017 and another 5 years of misery.
I don;t give a shit abut Koolidiots bluster. Foles is a good QB with moxie….and was traded away for an arguable more talented QB.
Well……if that blows up….it a 4 year disaster. Go Bradford.
Actually Vinnie I don’t hate Foles. However I see his flaws and I don’t over emphasize “moxie” etc. That’s nonsense. Hes a nice middle of the pack QB but is nothing special IMO. His awareness is horrendous takes way too much punishment etc.
There is no carnage on the trade outside of giving up the 2nd. Bradford is a gamble and more talented. I am of the sentiment middle of the pack means shit. Boom or bust.
Eaaxtle. If its bust its total Eagles Carnage in FO, coaching staff, scheme and QB over the next 2 years.
The question to answer – and with will be answered over the next few weeks – Is Bradford “boom”??? Can he play like Foles did the last 5-6 mins of that game? Or that Redskins game? Does he have that moxie? We’ll see.
Your exaggerating with the carnage Vinnie. Pure nonsense. If Bradford doesn’t do it you have near 20 million free and Chip has proven that his offense is QB friendly and he will have to bide his time to find a QB.
Lurie has shown Kelly is in full control and is going nowhere.
The Foles Redskins game didn’t make his career. He hasn’t built upon it. Foles has shown nothing to win anything of substance. So its just talent for talent between Foles and Bradford and its not an argument who is more talented and the better player.
Com’on. Even Koolidiot recognizes Bradford is an “all-in” moment. If it fails…..does CHip hold the confidence of Lurie (with 2 years left on a contract?)
No way.
BTW – “So its just talent for talent between Foles and Bradford and its not an argument who is more talented and the better player.”
I suppose you take Russia over Canada in hockey then right??
Talent is important.
But there is more.
Lurie cut his prized pupil at the knees for Kelly. Please the Eagles have 4 prime time games in the first half of the season. The reason? Chip Kelly.
It’s no sense to act like Lurie is going to go against protocol that he has set. He’s all in more than anyone.
He did nothing but repeat his Reid Banner dilemma and went pro coach once again.
Even the Rams didn’t go overboard on Foles. He got an Andy Dalton contract.
Andy Dalton isn’t a franchise QB nor is going to put a team over the top. He’s nice above average at times QB for a defensive minded coach. That’s all. It’s not a detriment or a knock, but acting like those kinds of players make or break a franchise is horseshit.
Izzell usually on the Eagles you make good points. however you are sounding like hot air this week. Foles signed a nice contract, about what he deserved. He played a very nice game against a very good team. It’s week 1 and all we can judge is that … He made some tough throws and won. A QB gets a W-L record hung on him, fair or not they do. Foles has a good one.
Why because when I view a QB I view the total picture? I supported Foles early, I think the kid can play but he’s no franchise QB and a week one win where showed the same pros and cons of why I didn’t like him only as long term option are still there. But by all means let’s forget a PHENOMENAL effort from the defense and special teams and just say Foles is awesome.
Why is it that when Foles wins its always due to defense and ST.? His 117 rating is discounted. His touch throw in OT against Sherman and Berry isn’t mentioned yet a throw where a D back is mentioned. Foles is good
Just asking….did you think Foles play was good last year or did you caveat his play because of Oline etc?
I thought his play was sporadic but the results were great. I see him as flacco. I don’t think he is week in and week out elite . I think he absolutely can win at the highest level . I watched flacco at UD, watch s lot of himat Balt because my wife’s family is season tix holders. I think foles has IT. Sometimes not pretty
That said toasty…. I think IF healthy Bradford can be Brady…big if
We agree to disagree then. Foles is not on Flaccos level. Flacco has IT. Foles has yet to show he has IT when it counts.
His play was sporadic but the results were not because of him and had everything to do with total team play.
I view Foles as a good player with a limited ceiling and counting on him to carry a team is a mistake. And I view the NFL is a Franchise QB league for ultimate success. Just my opinion.
I will say this…its not my stance but I see why its taken. Foles is viewed negatively by a lot of people because he has been given leeway for a lot of flaws that previous QBs weren’t given the benefit of the doubt were. McNabb would have never gotten the love Foles got if he played like he did early in his career IMO.
So let me get this straight… There is an asterisk next to foles W-L record but 5 didn’t benefit from JJs defense? Harbaughs ST unit? Funny how that works…completely insane argument
Toast it’s similar to how you mention a DB falling down on a big foles play but don’t acknowledge him threading the needle between Sherman and berry… Convenient for your narrative
I told you about that toast shit dickhead. You just compared Foles to a SuperBowl winner and elite playoff QB and in the same realm of comparison to a HOF QB that won this town a ton of games off his arms and legs alone.
Whose narrative is convenient?
Toast I didn’t make the nickname! You earned it! I didn’t compare them I just asked why ones wins have an asterisk and ones don’t…. I like butter and jelly on my TOAST
This from HaveNoClue? LMAO
Since IJ is your pseudonym why do you take it personally? The real toast played a lot of years. He made some plays,got burnt some… Dude played for buddy… That’s something!
Wow, so you are not giving Jameis the same patience and kid gloves treatment you gave Foles…lol..of course not. He just came into the league and you are declaring him a bust….ok!
Dude. We crack jokes. There are 3 or 4 in here whose lives seem to depend on whether or not Jamarcus, or Jamesis, or Vick, or RGIII, or whomever does well.
Just busting on that for effect!!
That being said…Mariotta was the better pick. When in doubt – maturity counts!
Im not a Winston fan either EHL. Dude puts the ball into play to much for my liking. I wouldn’t have given up the house for Marriotta either. You destroy the ability to help your QB grow without being able to upgrade your team.
I am a Winston fan, he will take time to rid himself of bad habits because he wants to make plays,but, he will be fine.
Destroying your ability to help qb grow…another draft will come around so you just build accordingly. So far, I like Agholor, but not giddy about the rest of the picks, not a Rowe fan. I would give this past draft up for him seeing who they selected.
EHL it would have been next three years of drafts for Marrriota and even then Titans weren’t giving him up. It was a pipe dream .
I would not do that either if that is what they was asking for. I would be just as happy with Jared Goff from Cal in the 2016 draft. Hopefully Bradford can stay healthy and it will not be a problem come contract time.
The problem is to get any Top QB Prospect in the Draft, you either have to tank the Season and have a good QB Class or Trade the Farm away… How do the Eagles Draft QB J Goff in 2016 when they are attempting to make a Playoff Run and win as many games as possible in 2015?
Pete Carrol needs to stop being an idiot.
Pete marches to a different drummer. Head scratcher playcalling though I will admit.
He’s a great coach.
He will continue to have a lot of success.
However ever so often he does some DUMB SH*T.
SMH.
All the great coaches do TS. Its an “emperor has no clothes situation” you have to hope there is someone on the sideline that is strong enough to say “Umm WTF?”
I liked the short kick att (if that’s what you are talking about) It didn’t hurt them.
If they get it they probably win…if not….have to hold stl to a fg…they did.
If its about the 4th and 1. Had to go Lynch after 6 months of “what the fuck were you thinking” after the SB.
They have huge problems on that line and couldn’t run all day. The 4th and 1 play made no sense, actually should have been opposite from the SB. Like the analyst said I hate run calls from shotgun on 4th and 1. It is a big problem I have with Chip last year and hope the backs we have this year get that taken care of.
Mariotta is showing why I was saying do the deal!
Henry Burris on fire. 101 yrds passing in 1st Q. 8-0 lead with the ball on the 4.
Billy Davis no EXCUSES. Ive watched all the teams and nobody is going up and down the field with wide open recievers. Im seeing 4th and 5th round pick DBs with good coverage. If I see Matt Ryan completing 70% of his passess and receivers open all over the field. No excuses.
