Jeez, Panthers just rolled over the Broncos defence like they weren't even there on that first drive.

 

[JJ1532]

The old cliched 'game of two halves' tonight. Panthers mauled the Broncos in the 1st half, but a total role reversal in the 2nd.

Fair play to Siemian, did much better than I thought he would. Massive win for the Broncos, even if they were close to blowing it on a couple of occasions in that final drive with stupid penalties.

 

[kieran_vale]

Didn't watch it in the end sadly. Fair play to Denver for winning though, can only guess Panthers must have been worn out by the altitude you get there.

Have seen a few clips this morning of Denvers D unloading on Cam, some pretty nasty looking helmet shots actually. If the NFL is serious on concussions they should be looking at fines for them players and also the franchise as a whole probably.

Great first game of the season. 15 more of them please this weekend. Whoever has CJ in their fantasy team are going to get a lot of points as I can see Denver running a lot with their options at QB.

 

[RavenBish]

That last helmet to helmet shot was outrageous - how does that only get called as roughing?! If that was Burfict they'd be discussing how many years his ban should be on First Take

 

[Destruction]

Gano ya'no.

 

[TomPNE94]

Well that was worth staying up for. Brilliant way to start the season.

My epic trading of my reserve TE already reaping dividends with the likelihood of Gronk missing the Cards game...

Lamar Jackson an early contender for my favourite college ball player 2016.

It's always going to be risky making trades with the limited squad depth in a 18 teamer but if you don't buy a ticket you'll never win the lottery so to speak, I'm actually pretty happy that my Ajayi early move got shot down but then again I was on last night and managed to miss Eifert being on Waivers, the merry go round when all the injuries start hitting should be fun though.

I was pretty impressed by Siemian going against that Carolina D in the early game, fingers crossed the Dallas rookie can play similarly on Sunday and get us off to a good start against the Giants, losing a divisional game early wouldn't be too much fun.

 

[kieran_vale]

So no Gronk, Solder, Cooper, Dion Lewis on PUP and Amendola who knows if he will play or not. Obviously was a good idea at the time but NBC will probably regret now choosing Pats-Cards as the SNF game. Can see nothing but a heavy defeat for us. That said I think its a good choice to keep Gronk out for this game, if there is one we can be comfortable with losing its this game with them being an NFC team. The three home games after are more important.

150k crowd expected at Bristol Motor Speedway for the Virginia Tech-Tennessee game.

Yeah that's pretty ridiculous and to think people in this country whinge like little school girls when they see a football pitch with a running track around it and the Americans do one at a nascar track of all places. That is one hell of a big screen that they've brought with them though.

[Martino Knockavelli]

They've sent Kev down the boozer. What a fall from grace.

 

[TomPNE94]

Sanu on my bench. Where is my gun?

 

[TomPNE94]

12.8 points in the first quarter

 

[RavenBish]

AJ Green is going to get in the HOF with Andy Dalton throwing to him his entire career. Best of all time.

 

[RavenBish]

This is not a good Bengals team. We might get a good draft pick at last. Maybe not enough for Myles Garratt but you never know

 

[kieran_vale]

Jets are as much I hate to say it pretty good though in fairness.

Got to feel bad for Keenan Allen, I can't remember the last season where he hasn't picked up a nasty looking injury.

 

[RavenBish]

Kicking does not seem good in the NFL thus far

 

[kieran_vale]

Brees and Cooks for a 98 yard TD. Standard. That dude can fucking fly.

Last one I remember like that would have Brady to Welker against the Phins a few years back.

 

[TomPNE94]

My boy Jameis keeping me in my fantasy matchup

 

[RavenBish]

Bengals need 20 more yards with 2 minutes and 3 timeouts left. Let's see how we fuck this one up.

 

[kieran_vale]

Absolutely love that from the Raiders going for the win with the 2 pointer.

That said would not back against Drew leading the Saints down the field now.

 

[.V.]

Fucking Chargers.

 

[kieran_vale]

I know it's very early days but got to like how Dak Prescott is playing right now. Very composed.

 

[epic73]

Fucking Chargers.

21-3 up at HT, lost.
