Brady looks just as washed as he did last season, you can already see the frustration on Mike Evans's face.

Uh oh. In otherwords, Jameis was able to throw deep but Brady can't?

Agreed. Not a good day for TB squared.

Who was it around here that was adamant that there was no reason for a Pats fan to be anything other than despondent about this season? I was excited to watch this play out back then, and I still am. But, clearly I'm incorrect.

That was Deepster, a Jets fan. Talk about who should be despondent.
 
My WR1 drafted was Mike Evans.
My WR2 drafted was Kenny Golladay.
I sat Aaron Rodgers today.
I sat Robby Anderson.
Still put up 98 pts and won my game.
(Josh Allen, CMC, DJ Chark, Terry McLauren, Saints D with a pick 6)

Only thing I can't figure out is why the linebacker from Michigan was a healthy scratch. He was playing with the 1's all week.

Trade Darnold. Fire Gase. Season is cancelled.

It's time for all Jets fans to come to grips with reality. Darnold is Mariota or Jamies or Trubisky. I hope we're bad enough this year to land a Top 3 pick so we can move on from him this year instead of the following offseason. Gase has no business being a HC but Darnold is still making way too many egregious mistakes. He's not the guy.

No argument here. At the very best, he's Matt Ryan. Someone squeaky clean that can lead you in a boring way to "decent" seasons. Maybe make one big run at one point in his career....but no one that other teams lie awake worrying about the night before a game.

Newton's antics following the game will wear thin if the Pats start losing. He is a self-absorbed, arrogant punk. Fans will abandon in droves if he doesn't clean up his "look at me" act.

Bill, get Stidham ready.

Are you kidding? I find just about everything in 2020 odd. I've stopped even looking for reason or logic.

The look on the dogs face in your avatar is a great meme 5 years from now "hey do you remember 2020?"

I think Brady and the Bucs will be pretty good. They looked more like a team with no familiarity than a bad team. Brees and the Saints are always tough.

Brady looked a bit past his expiration date a few times. Still, there were blown routes, he didn’t get a couple PI calls he should have, there were some bad drops and the OL was week on many occasions. I think they pull it together.
 
So the ravens stood for the BLM anthem and kneeled for the national anthem? Wow.

Does anyone even care anymore? This whole Week 1 has been a mishmash of league sponsored insincere offerings and various team specific reactions. I say eliminate the entire pregame routine. Both teams on the field at the same time. No intros. No anthems. Coin toss earlier in the day. Just kick it off and play.

Nah, not as long as they win. I spent this afternoon in a couple of Patriot area sports bars. All the Pats fans were rooting for the Saints. I was surprised, yet not.

Really? I saw the opposite.

Yep, Darnold is not the guy but he can be an MVP and top 10 all-time passer.

Who would you compare him to at the very best? Matt Stafford? Good passer, will accumulate good career numbers, never a factor?
 
I think the NFL is doing a good job with the fake fan noise (like the booing when the home team gets a boaderline pass interference). I expect they will keep tweaking this as the season progresses.
