Dear God

Thank you for Mitch Trubisky and Kirk Cousins.

Amen.

I was glad when the Queens signed Cousins. Looks like it's paying off. The INT in the end zone was worse than Mitch's.

Packers are 2-0 with wins against division rivals and haven't really had a complete game yet.

I'll take that.

Before the season started, I was hoping for 1-1. I'm overjoyed at 2-0, especially against the two teams that think they are winning the division.

This Bears/Broncos game is exhilarating television.

[jsglow]

There simply is almost no substitute for quality play at the QB position.

I predict that the Bears will get a TD.

Not necessarily today, but sometime this year.

[The Sultan]

Can't Fox find someone better than Dick Stockton?

[The Sultan]

So I'm sure this has happened before, but the Bills won in consecutive weeks, on the road, in same stadium. (Met Life)

Yep, today we got to see what an effen genius Sean Payton is after Brees got hurt.

[Dish]

That entire game was dumb.

[The Sultan]

That entire game was dumb.

Consecutive timeouts by Nagy when the Broncos faced fourth down. Neither worked.

Bizarre roughing the quarterback call. No idea what he did wrong there.

But Trubisky stepped up when he had to and Pinero nailed the kick.

[tower912]

The roughing call was weak.   Welcome to NFL 2019.   And kudos to da Bears for taking advantage of the opportunity.

Almost identical roughing call early against the Bears. Both were horrible.

The unnecessary roughness call on Floyd in the first quarter was also a joke.

Because I'm late to the party having just returned home from an out of town wedding I'll throw in my 2 cents on $cam and bring that debate back up. $cam looked like he was playing in the Super Bowl to me.

How bad was he??

Mitchell Trubisky became the first starting QB to win a game despite (min 25 att):

- averaging 4.4 YPA or less
- passing for 120 yds or less

since... he did it last year.

Only full-time starting QBs w this feat:
- 2019: Trubisky
- 2018: Trubisky
- 2017: Cutler
- 2016: Osweiler

You could at least attribute the source/tweet that you copy/pasted from

Why? It's not behind a paywall. I also did not claim that I went through the history of NFL stats to find this.

That like giving attribute to the NFL and Fox if I say ARod threwtwo TDs yesterday.

[tower912]

Terrible break for the Saints. 

[MU82]

The Bears have some offensive problems (obviously) but that's the kind of win that can end up propelling a team to a good season.

[MUBurrow]

The Dolphins are a historic dumpster fire, so its tough to gauge things they do on normal metrics - but that being said, I like the return for Minkah Fitzpatrick.  The Steelers have to project to have a t-10 pick considering they are already 0-2, Big Ben is out for the year, and they haven't played a game vs the Browns or Ravens yet.

[Dish]

That Steelers trade makes zero sense with Ben's injury. I was thinking to myself earlier today that the Steelers could be a sneaky tank for Tua team. I get that their defense has been garbage through two weeks, but that's a perplexing transaction to say the least.

[The Sultan]

That seems more like a trade made so someone doesn't lose their job.

[MU82]

The Steelers are in trouble.

They actually have been in a gradual decline ever since they lost to the Packers in the SB after the 2010 season.

In the 8 seasons since then, they have won only 3 playoff games and have failed to make the playoffs 3 times.

When you have a future HoF QB playing well, you can cover up some problems, but when you lose Roethlisberger, Bell and Brown bang-bang-bang, even while you let numerous other good players go to other teams over the years, you reach a point where it's difficult to compete for anything that matters.
