Baker Mayfield with another orchestrated-comeback win. Rallied team to Jets' red zone and kicked game-winning FG. The Bucs did, initially, blew a large lead to the Jets though.

Lot of wild finishes in the early slate.

What it also shows me is... outside of the few juggernauts, there's also a lot of mediocre/average/bad teams. And even the Packers lost to the Browns today and my SB pick is Green Bay vs. Buffalo. Texans lost to Jags. Falcons got trucked 30-0 by Carolina.

Exactly what Goodell wants. ::)

Today's one of those Any Given Sundays day

In Week 3 lol 
all the blocked kicks were weird, but none of the results were all that surprising.  Even the Browns winning.

Browns winning wasn't surprising?! They were up against the Packers who were 7.5 point road favorites. Should've been a blowout win for GB but crazy games lol
Not to me.  The Browns defense is incredible this year.  Completely shut down Bengals passing game and the the Ravens running game.  Love is prone to inconsistent and poor play.  Did I think the Browns would win, no, but the type of game it was, wasn't a surprise to me.  If the Browns had even decent play from the offense they'd be a clear playoff team because of their defense
2025 Historical Draft - Cleveland Cavaliers - 1st pick

Starters - Luka, JB, Lebron, Wemby, Shaq
Rotation - D. Daniels, Mitchell, G. Wallace, Melo, Noah

Ravens not looking good tonight. I?m not sold on the Bills, either.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

1-2 Ravens @ 1-2 Chiefs next week.  Maybe the loser needs to start thinking about tanking.

Wouldn't mind if this is the last we see of Russ.  He is dreadful to watch now.  He's cooked.

I was just watching the Florida State v Virginia college football game. The ACC allowed the broadcast to listen in on instant replay reviews, where the referees on the field reviewing the play talks to the replay booth. It was far and away more interesting to listen to them, than to listen to the broadcasters discussing the play. The NFL needs to allow this for their games.

They should, but they won't because you know, ratings/popularity and the "golden eggs" in the league they need to protect  :P

Not sure I get it. What would be the feared scenario they would be trying to avoid?  Are you suggesting that they won?t make a crucial call if it penalizes a superstar or a team that they want to advantage?  How do you think that gets discussed in the replay booth? How many people in the NFL do you think are part of a conspiracy to advantage certain players or teams?  These questions sound more like I?m challenging your premise more than I mean to. I?m not asking rhetorically. I want to understand the specifics of how league cheating  actually plays out.

Would've loved to have had this back at Super Bowl LII when the league seemed to change the rules on the fly.

Tomlin doesn?t get enough credit as a HC. Mike has never had a losing season and he?s had some bad QB?s. Tomlin has 1 SB ring with Ben, but imagine If he had Brady or Mahomes for all those years? Could be in the GOAT conversation.

WELP. Nabers hurt, and had to be carted off. Might be a serious injury...  :(

SF starting Brock Purdy over Mac Jones is a mistake.

For like 3 drives in a row Baltimore barely went to Henry and those drives stalled, plus a few delay of game penalties by Lamar Jackson. In that time, KC went on an unanswered 20-0 run

And oh look, another Lamar turnover...
