Cowboys are dominating the Giants. An absolutely lifeless joke of a performance from the Giants so far, Barkley has only 7 carries, Eli has done nothing against a mediocre Cowboys secondary, the Giants O-Line looks like shit and they look all around lifeless. What a dull, weak SNF game. Terrible game. Cowboys are dominating, but they don't even look good. The Giants are playing unbelievably badly, and it's somehow only a 10 point game. But, Barkley has been impressive. He may only have 25 rush yards, but he's got an additional 50 yards receiving, and most of that is after contact. Any success on the Giants offense is from him, and he's doing a lot of it on his own. Eli has done nothing, mostly because he's had absolutely no time. The giants O Line is so unbelievably bad that I can't imagine these guys are pros. Dallas is in the backfield on every single play. There's not much in sports that's less enjoyable to watch than your team just fail to execute anything on offense.

What a dull, weak SNF game. Everyone hated him so much they didn't want to believe him but: Ben McAdoo may have been right. Eli should have been a back-up or gone. His o-line is obviously horrible but he looks bad even beyond that.

Eli has been sacked 6 times. Looks like the same bad o line from last season. This is against the same Dallas team that was completely shut down by Carolina last week. Beckham has been a non factor these past 2 weeks.

He's not missing throws and reads or anything, he's got no time and no run support. It's the worst pass protection I think I've ever seen.

Absolutely dismal game. The Giants O-Line is horrid, Eli is a shadow of his former self, and they’ve only handed it to Barkley 10 times for 27 yards. That being said, I wouldn’t be shocked to see a vintage Cowgirls choke in the 4th quarter here, it’s not like they are playing well.

He's never been brave in the pocket, but he's going to have to be to not be battling the Bills and Cardinals for the first overall pick. It's not like the Cowboys are a top defense.

Another TD for Dallas. Looks like you can call this one.

... Eli is a shadow of his former self... I just have a hard time understanding how anybody thinks this is a legitimate analysis. I've been hearing it for a while, and I just don't think that anyone who has been watching the guy for his whole career is seeing that he's lost anything. When you can barely even take a 5 step drop without having a linebacker and a defensive end in your face there's not much any pocket passer is going to be able to do. I'm not saying he's been great, but the guy has literally had no chance in the last 18 games he's played. This might be the worst pass protection I've ever seen, and this was supposed to be the improved offensive line.

Patriots had that loss coming, but not the way that loss occurred. Jaguars better hope next week isn't a letdown game because that'd be hilarious until 2019.
Eagles lols. Another tie, in another divisional matchup no less ftw. I guess the Jets believed their own hype. Mahomes & Fitzpatrick, the MVP leaders in the clubhouse?
In my galactic fantasy injury superiority update dept, my star kicker G.Zuerlein from the best team in the NFL suffered a groin injury during warmups & gave me 0.00pts. Still lapping the field with DL mastery.

Another tie, in another divisional matchup no less ftw. I guess the Jets believed their own hype. Mahomes & Fitzpatrick, the MVP leaders in the clubhouse? Yeah that Fitz-Magic will never run out, right? Mahomes looks impressive, truly, but he can't keep up this pace. It's not realistic. When he gets into a game against a more challenging defense that will slow him down a bit and force him to take the underneath routes and own the clock, then we might see if he can play with some balance. Pats looked legitimately underpowered on defense. He played really well, but that was just Blake Bortles, and the Jags didn't even have Fornette. It was a pretty weak showing, even if Brady threatened a comeback in the 4th quarter. The Jets showed why they're still the Jets. The end of the first half was as Jet-like as it gets. But Darnold did like pretty decent. He's got plenty to learn, but he has raw talent for sure. My favorite quote of the day was from whoever was calling the Jets game. He had just thrown a pick and the dude said, 'Well dont worry, because I really think Sam Darnold played his best football after he threw that interception.' Considering that was the first pass of his career that's one of the most obvious statements anyone could ever make.

Big games from my QB Jared Goff and my flex RB Matt Breida.

I have a feeling Dan Bailey will be on a team by next week.

Here is my recap and analysis of today’s games
Jaguars defeat Patriots 31-20. Jaguars with an outstanding performance all around, Bortles with one of the best performances of his career and the Jags defense was strong as usual, and they won without Fournette. The Jags look like one of the NFL’s best teams as long as Bortles plays well, while the Pats will still be a top tier team as usual, it’s not unusual for them to lose in September, this was a very difficult matchup for them and they always improve as the season goes on.
Falcons defeat Panthers 31-24. Impressive performance from the Falcons, Ryan looked very good after an off week 1, the offense was very balanced with an equally good passing and rushing attack, and they did an excellent job of using all of their many offensive weapons, Ridley got his first NFL TD, and Coleman and Smith did a great job out of the backfield with Freeman out. The Panthers are a good team, but their secondary is just average and has a difficult time going up against top tier passing attacks like the Falcons have, and they don’t have a lot of good weapons for Cam to throw to, especially with Olsen injured.
Vikings and Packers tie at 29-29. Second tie game already this season, this is insane, the NFL has to change the rules to prevent ties, they are so unsatisfying for everyone. As for the teams, I think the Vikings are the superior team, they are loaded with talent on both sides of the ball, if they had a good kicker they would’ve won the game, they should release Carlson and sign someone better, that is by far their biggest problem right now. The Packers defense looks mediocre as usual and they have trouble slowing down good offenses, but as long as Rodgers is healthy the Packers will remain a strong team.
Cowboys defeat Giants 20-13. Giants looked absolutely lifeless most of the game, their O-Line was truly horrid, they didn’t use Barkley nearly enough, Eli is declining and nearing the end of his career, and their defense allowed the subpar Dallas passing attack to make too many big plays. The Cowboys will be interesting to watch going forward, their defense has been improved this season and if they play strong defense they could be decent but I’m not convinced of how good they are and their offense is mediocre with a subpar passing attack and very few guys for Prescott to throw to. I’m not impressed with either team so far.
49ers defeat Lions 30-27. A lot of offense in this game, but the Niners were more dominant than the final score indicates. Garappolo played well, Breida ran for over 100 yards and the Niners played a good game and I think they will be a good team although their defense needs improvement. The Lions have a lot of talent, but Blount needs to be more of a factor and their defense has to improve, especially their front 7, they have are very mediocre there, I’m looking forward to seeing what they look like going forward.
Buccaneers defeat Eagles 27-21. Fitzpatrick with another great game, over 400 yards passing and 4 TD’s and the Bucs pull off another upset. The Bucs definitely have an explosive passing attack but their defense is below average, as is their rushing game, and I’m unsure if Fitzpatrick can keep up this level of play, but I’m impressed that they are 2-0 against 2 very talented teams. The Eagles haven’t looked sharp this year, Foles was better today but the defense got shredded, and the offense was banged up, I think the Eagles will be a better team going forward as they get healthier and make defensive adjustments.
Rams defeat Cardinals 34-0. Rams with an oustanding, dominating performance on both sides of the ball, Goff was terrific, they have a boatload of offensive weapons around him and their defense was phenomenal as well, add in great special teams and they look like the NFL’s best and most complete team. The Cardinals have looked atrocious so far on both sides of the ball, they have talent and they should be playing better, David Johnson needs to be a lot more involved and productive, and Bradford has played very poorly, if he keeps this up they should play Rosen soon, they should be playing a lot better than they are.
Broncos defeat Raiders 20-19. Broncos are much improved with Keenum at QB, he gives their offense life and they still have some talented guys on both sides of the ball, I’m somewhat surprised they are 2-0 though. Very bad loss for the Raiders as they controlled the game and then shit the bed in the 4th Quarter, their defense needs to play better, both times in the first 2 weeks they’ve collapsed in the 2nd half, I’m still unsure how good their offense is, they have talent but they aren’t consistent on that side of the ball either.
Chiefs defeat Steelers 42-37. Chiefs with another explosive offensive performance, Mahomes has looked terrific so far, the Chiefs have a lot of explosive players around him and they’ve won back to back games on the road against good teams. The Steelers have a mediocre at best defensive unit that needs to be improved, and without Bell their offense isn’t nearly as scary, I think the Steelers should be concerned, they haven’t look good so far this season.
Saints defeat Browns 21-18. Browns led for most of the game, and then poor kicking cost them the game for the 2nd week in a row. They are a much improved team but they just cannot pull out a win. The Saints have struggled so far, their defense has regressed some it seems and their offense clearly misses Ingram, they will be much better when he returns, but I think the Saints have reason to be concerned after a very average start to the season.
Dolphins defeat Jets 20-12. The Dolphins are arguably the NFL’s most improved team with Tannehill back, and the additions of several good weapons around him, their defense looks better as well, I think they could make a playoff run. The Jets are improved as well, they had several miscues that cost them or they could’ve had a chance to win the game.
Colts defeat Redskins 21-9. The Colts are much better with a healthy Luck, whether they can be a winning team will depend on how their mediocre defense holds up. The Redskins are the most puzzling team in the NFL IMO, you never know how they will play, they have a decent amount of talent on both sides of the ball but they are wildly inconsistent, I have no idea what to make of them.
Titans defeat Texans 20-17. Bad loss for the Texans IMO, they should’ve won this game, they have a talented team and they outplayed the Titans, some errors cost them. The Titans win in typical Titans fashion, close and with a not particularly impressive performance, but they pull it out, I’m interested in their QB situation, Gabbert has been better than Mariota and I’m wondering if he will be playing more this season, Mariota is a weak QB IMO.
Chargers defeat Bills 31-20. Chargers with a convincing win to get their season on track after their week 1 home loss to the Chiefs, I’m looking forward to seeing how the Chargers do this season. The Bills are by far the worst team in the NFL, they have very little talent and are completely lifeless.
Any thoughts?
