[Good Golly I'm Olly]

DeAndre Hopkins making some plays on this OT drive, nice toe tap

[adams_legend]

Anyone see the Ravens game, want to know why rice only rushed for 30 yards?

Got hurt... but that was the 4th quarter, so still doesn't quite explain it

[adams_legend]

The Ravens have one of the best running backs in the league but they keep going with Flacco throwing the ball.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

He only had 8 touches of the ball in the 1st half, 5 rushes. He's there best offensive player, gotta give him the ball more.

What a throw by Stafford. Megatron

[skins4ever]

I don't get all the Skins bashing? Would have been great to start 2-0 but pretty much everyone knew it would take 1-2 games to get back to it for RGIII and our D hardly improved a lot in the offseason because we couldn't make enough room with the cap penalty to sign some proper D reinforcements. We gave up picks for RGIII that would have cost cap money anyway, so this season has to be one of building on the O that was set up last year, and patching the D until we can address needs in the secondary. I don't see better than 10-6 this year.

I reckon the gimpy Patriots and a Panthers team with too many weapons to be so bad are bigger topics.

Q - if the Eagles keep this up, wonder what odds you can get on Jackson breaking the receiving record?

[Take it to the house]

So frustrating, so close to winning! Ponder was decent after his INT and defense made some really good plays. Just couldn't stop them on the last drive

Bit of a rough series for Myers there, trips with open field to the endzone in front of him, then drops a 3rd down pass

Wasn't really bashing the Skins skins4ever..... more just stating the obvious! No team has sucked more than us right across the board than us so far this season. The defense has got worse and it was already bad. At the moment, with our schedule, I struggle to see better than 6-10 this year. The one thing that we have in our favour is that we play in the NFC East where the best of a bad lot will win the division.

[Take it to the house]

Patrick Peterson with a pass!

[Take it to the house]

Trindon Holliday again! Absolutely brilliant

[GSC]

Ominously Eli looks in 2007 form

[mikeygnfl]

49ers & Seahawks back out after lightning delay at 3.00am

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

YEAH WOO COLIN KAEPERNICK IS GREAT WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

oh wait...

[sodhat]

Give it a few hours and cherries will be here with some gloating. He may actually be Richard Sherman pretending to be an 18 year old from Bournemouth.

Raiders scraped past the Jags. A win is a win considering people were suggesting 0-16 for us so that's nice. Need to be more clinical on offense, we should have put them to the sword. Only the best fullback in football managed to get into the endzone with all that possession.

[GSC]

Poor mans Mike Vick

Did think it a little premature to crown him last week. Green Bay sold out to stop the run.

[Number-25]

This guy, John Keim, provides the best coverage and insight into the Redskins anywhere in the world. He used to be a reporter with the Washington Examiner but joined ESPN when that paper folded. If he says where the Redskins are at right now is scary then that's good enough for me!

[Pr4wn]

Seems that "the most talented AN in football" was taken to school by the Hawks last night...

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Can you imagine what would have happened to Rodgers/Luck and co last night, if the most talented QB in football could only put up 3 pts on Seattle... 

[sodhat]

Even Cam Newton put up 7

[GSC]

So what did we learn this week

Gronk and Amendola need to get healthy fast
Baltimore still knows how to win ugly
Panthers offense is sputtering. May well cost Rivera his job soon
Like last year the Bears remain an enigma
Washington is still a bad team without RG3s flash
Tennessee is legit. Sadly Jake Locker is legitimately terrible
Indy remains a team reliant on its star QB.
Miami hasn't shot out the blocks but they're 2-0
Andy Reid is a quality coach. The Chiefs have already matched last seasons win total.
Phillip Rivers looks back on track
The Chip Kelly offenses sizzle is matched by the Chip Kelly defenses ineptitude
Tampa can't finish. The Schiano-Freeman divorce is coming sooner rather than later.
The Saints have some backbone.
2 SB rings buy you a lot of free passes for bad play.
The Lions are still talented. And still stupid
Jacksonville will be picking first.
Seattle is a monster at home
Kaepernick isn't quite a first ballot HoFr yet

[sodhat]

Carson Palmer is still Carson Palmer too. That pick 6 he threw was ugly. I saw it so often last season.

But hey, he's better than Kolb, Skelton and Lindley. Put together, probably.

[cherriesfna]

boo yahh

let me hear ya]

SEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAA-HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWKS
SEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAA-HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWKS

DOWN GOES THE FORTY-WHINERS
HAHAHA AND WE WERE MISSING OUR BEST PASS RUSHER AND THE 4TH MEMEBER OF THE LEGION OF BOOM

KAEPERNICKS SUCKS ASS

AHAHAHAHAHA

BEST I N THE WEST

SUCK IT WHINERS!

[Pr4wn]

Tempted to remove that. If you haven't got anything meaningful to say, keep quiet.

[GSC]

If we have to read niners fluffing of every 49ers player each week then I say Cherries should stay

[sodhat]

And if you leave it, it will be funnier when the Seahawks fail and we can quote it at him.

[Pr4wn]

Good point about niner ;-)

[Number-25]

Definitely let Cherries comment stay! After niner's "most talented QB in the league" comment last week I fully support Cherries' right to gloat in this way. It really was a big statement victory.

Where is niner by the way?? 

[BamBam]

Just watched on fast forward .. Impressive performance by Seattle but hard to watch the Niners get beaten up in the trenches like that

[cherriesfna]

[mikeygnfl]

Seahawks were dominant last night in the second half. I thought it was pretty even upto then.

That is the secong thrashing the 49ers having taken in Seattle in their last four regular season games. They wouldn't want to go their in the play offs.

[cherriesfna]

next up at the Clink............. the Jaguars

               

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Now watching the game again, man the 49ers made some dumbass fouls on defence. Brooks with the facemask on an already going down Wilson, and Aldon Smith giving up a personal foul after the play on 3rd and 28.  

[Colan (niner)]

I hope people stop using this game as some sort of indictment on Kap. The entire team played horribly, run game was non existent, no discipline, receivers were no match for Seattle secondary and too many mental errors. Everything that went wrong could have went wrong and I just hope now injuries to Williams, Reid and Davis aren't serious. If you have no run game, receivers don't get open, oline can't block, playing against a great team iin the loudest atmosphere ever, no QB would play well. Seattle fans have a complex over niners and players feed off it, their offense wasn't great but their D was as dominant as I've seen in a game for a while. Fair play to them, I see too many dirty tactic from them every game though, happened last year with Manningham and agian a few times last night, don't revel at clear injuries caused by dirty plays, its bs. I'd still lump money on 49ers to win division though, Seattle get up for that game more than any other, won't play like that every week

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Well I sure hope for the sake of the other NFC teams that Seattle don't end up winning the division (and imo whoever wins that division, is the #1 seed in the NFC).

Wouldn't want to be going to Seattle in the playoffs

[Colan (niner)]

I think teams wouldn't be too worried if they got Seattle at home but agree that you don't want to be playing at their place, deathwish

[QuarterbackSneak]

They are definitely a formidable force at home thats for sure! If they could sort out their road form, they would be serious contenders.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

In the latest installment of the Bucs soap opera, reports are that Revis is unhappy with Schiano's defensive schemes.

I really like Seattle this year, had them as my pick in the poll to win the division. If they can get Harvin back fit and firing, they'll be immense

[QuarterbackSneak]

tampa have a defensive scheme???? lol

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Daniel Jeremiah ‏@MoveTheSticks
Jacksonville has scored 11 points, they've allowed 11 sacks and they don't have a single run of 11+ yards.

Poor Teddy Bridgewater

[QuarterbackSneak]

Seattle at home to the Jags could be an absolute bloodbath. I might even go for a handicap bet on that next week.

[CFCNick]

I think teams wouldn't be too worried if they got Seattle at home but agree that you don't want to be playing at their place, deathwish

Think I heard a stat last night that through however many years, I forgot, but they are over 30 games over .500 at home and about 20 under on the road. Think it was Cris who was fantastic last night.

[QuarterbackSneak]

Anyone know the odds for the Broncos going 16-0?

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

ProFootballTalk ‏@ProFootballTalk
Tebow rally to be held in Jacksonvile at 3:16 p.m., and it'll last three hours and 16 minutes

Oh dear lord

[CFCNick]

From the Bold predictions for week 2 thread

The NFC East will go 0-4

The AFC West will go 4-0

Yep

[skins4ever]

Anyone know the odds for the Broncos going 16-0?

Wouldn't bet on it. Shootout with the Eagles could easily see them 3-1 and they still have to play KC and SD who could both get home wins. The Ravens and Giants are both in bad shape right now, beating them proves nothing yet. Broncos likely win the division, but too early to say they are the best team in the AFC.
