2015 NFL Week 1
Patriots versus Steelers. The NFL can't handle an angry Tom Brady.

The Lions could very easily start 0-4 this year.

Cowboys-Giants games are always entertaining...I'm expecting a Cowboys win Sunday night, but it'll probably be close.

I really hope Brady drops 42 on a inept Steelers D. II dunno why I get such perverse joy out of seeing it happen to my team, but It's pretty funny

Think I'm skipping tonight's game. I don't need to listen to them yammer on for three more hours about deflated footballs after listening about it for the last eight months.

My interest in Tonight's game is /slightly/ above my interest in watching the Super Bowl which I had no interest in.

Going to be interested to see how the Patriots play coverage. Will they single up Malcolm Butler on Brown at times, constantly roll a safety over to that side, or play a lot of zone? Le'Veon Bell (and to a lesser extent Martavis) being out is a huge difference, so let's see if the secondary can hold up against a pretty one dimensional offense. That and Gronk's health are our two biggest question marks right now. (I'm not worried about the WR's - Edelman and LaFell will be healthy eventually, and we have plenty of experience with shitty receivers.)

It is football so I'll watch. Despite the horrible off field stuff going on in the NFL, I still do love the game of football.
I would love to see the Pats get stomped tonight, Brady throw a couple of picks and the Pats lose a few fumbles en route to a 44-0 loss.

Probably in no small part because the Bears are going to be utterly awful this year, I've found it incredibly difficult to give a shit about football this season.
I haven't been this disinterested in a long, long time. It's odd. |

The more I think about it, I see Tom having an Eff You Mode™ season, like 45 TD 4800 yards.

Can we set the rules for how we are going to deal with this sort of season from the Pats? Is it going to be unsportsmanlike for Brady to be chucking the ball down the field with the Pats up 56-0 in the middle of the 4th quarter or not?

I predict the league has an FU Pats season, and they win just 8 games.

Brady is a slow starter and looked awful in his limited pre-season appearances. I'm sure he wants to do what he did last year after the Chiefs debacle, but he's at the age when the end has a high probability of coming every year.
You can't get fuel from feeling persecution. That's all window dressing and media horse-hockey. They win from being prepared and having the ability to execute plans. It will be interesting to see if Brady can still throw anything resembling a deep ball. I think this one will be anything but easy. It helps that Pittsburgh's defense is far from the best they'll face this season. |

I haven't been this pessimistic and ambivalent about the start of the NFL season in years. I'm still excited that it's here, but it's just not in the forefront of my thoughts anymore. I'm think it's the fear that the preseason Steelers are going to show up and spend the whole year playing like that. No faith.

Alright guys. Everything is working so far this drive. What we need to do here is have Antonio Brown throw a pass. No idea who HE is going to throw it to, but if we keep running a normal offense we are going to score a touchdown so we have to do something here.

LOL communications issues in Gillette Stadium. The NFL will do anything to make the Patriots look bad.

Touché. But it's not just the local shows. The national shows do it too. Yeah the local ones devote an entire 3 hour show to Packer'ing it up, but even the non-local shows go "okay it's May let's talk about the NFL for 90 minutes oh I guess we should devote five minutes to baseball 'kay civic duty done let's go back to football" and when they're not talking about the NFL they're talking about college football and this happens all goddamn year |

As the owner of a fantasy team that features both Ben Roethlisberger and DeAngelo Williams; that was painful.

I think Pittsburgh should just keep running their offense at the goal line instead of full personnel changes and formation swaps. What do I know though?

Steelers play calling in the red zone has been awful. Sometimes you should just do the obvious thing rather than trying to get cute.
