I still think Philip Rivers is the most overrated QB in the league.

I do think the end is near. Though that deep ball looked decent.

Jameis Winston... LOL.

But I think he'll eventually be okay. He's just got opening day jitters.

Mariota is looking good, but I think I'll reserve judgement until I see him face safeties that aren't Major Wright and Chris Conte.

He'll have his growing pains just like Winston is today.

Eifert makes a huge difference for Dalton. I really hope he can stay healthy.

I like the wins today for the Dolphins, Rams, Bills, and Chiefs. Happy to see all of those clubs at the 1:00 mark.

Lions could be dangerous with Abdullah in the backfield.

I'm happy the Dolphins are 1-0, but I don't think they deserved to win that game. I have a feeling they may have a long season if they continue to play as poorly as they did today.

I've been pleasently surprised by Peyton. The offensive line is not very good now and they are facing a terrific DLine in Baltimore. His passing has been pretty crisp for most part. (I can count two balls that were low and poor and he missed Sanders deep on a play where he had pressure in his face right at the snap.

He hit Sanders on a deep (30 yard) route later that Sanders didn't get. Would have been a tough catch, but the throw was perfect.

The way to kill Denver right now is to bring delayed pressure. It doesn't look like this line can find anyone on any type of delayed blitz.

The D? Holy hell they are good. 38 total yards for the Ravens in the first half. Flacco is 7-10 for 27 yards. Still a game and one play can lose this for Denver. Would like to see a good drive to start the second half.

I'm still very confused about their gameplan. Hope I get a chance to watch some of it. 37 pass attempts and 15 rushing attempt? Ummm, why? I just don't get it.

There's your one play. The thing I've noticed, is that Manning's passes don't seem to have much zip today.

I'm guessing Lazor is allergic to running the ball... But they won't win many games putting their defense on the field for 37 minutes.

They've actually had plenty of zip. . . except when he's got a guy in his grill. The OL is going to cost us this game.

I know I'm watching closely for it, but it seems he's trading a little zip for a little accuracy, and that's a bad trade in the NFL.

But we are seeing two excellent defenses out there. Maybe the best in the AFC so far.

Things are out of hand in Tampa. Having a rookie destroy you might mess with your defenses head for a while.

Love the announcers saying that the Chargers need to throw that challenge flag, that ball was out.

Um... the Lions recovered it.

Do they have to call him Steve Smith, Sr.? It's not like Steve Smith, Jr. is in the league. It is so asinine.

Facegaurding is NOT a penalty in the NFL or college. Only some HS states have it.

When I watched the play live, I was sure it was PI and I was sure it was going to be 1st and 2 Ravens with them winning the game. Watching the replay, he was never touched. It was clean and it was an INT.

We'll see more about Manning as the year goes on. I think the arm strength thing was way overblown today. Denver didn't run the ball at all outside of the first and last drive. The offensive line was a disaster for most of the game.

it's going to be a brutal week this week. We look banged up. Chiefs will be out for blood. I still love our defense against the KC offense, but I'm not very confident about the other side yet. I hope the OLine gels.

The only time I ever had a huge problem in the game was the false start called on Manning. That was a horrible call and essentially ended a drive into Ravens territory. Other than that, I didn't have a huge issue with them.

Bad stat of the day-the first red zone appearance in the Broncos/Ravens game came with about 4 minutes in the 4th quarter by Denver-Baltimore finally got in the red zone with a minute left in the game.

The Raiders didn't run a play in Bengals territory until the fourth quarter.

Well at least they had a QB injury there to explain it. It was Peyton Manning vs Joe Flacco in that game.

Yeah but two of the three best defenses were in the Den-Balt game which explains that no TD thing.
