Week 1 game thread

[azcatz11]

I feel like a huge nerd almost equivalent to the Justin Herbert following, but for some reason I really believe in this Ben Johnson thing and I'm sneaky excited for that game tonight.

Same.

I'm on the Bears this season. Caleb will finally achieve his potential

[JujitsuFlip]

Why you picking on him? Lol. I'm the lowest scorer of the week. Talk about terrible.

I play you twice this season, I'm sure you'll go for 150 both times lol

Based on this weeks performance, I beg to differ.

Nix and Higgins won't perform that bad consistently plus you had 2 guys get hurt during the game.

Like you said in the other thread it changes week to week.

Is he more likely to live up to his "generational" potential than Trevor Lawrence, the previous "generational" prospect?

Meanwhile, the best QBs in the league were selected #10 or later in their drafts -- Allen, Jackson, Mahomes -- and certainly didn't get the "generational" tag like Trevor or Caleb.

The previous "generational" prospect before Trevor and Caleb was Luck, who was a good QB but didn't live up to the hype.

Maybe the last "generational" prospect to live up to the hype was ... Lebron?

After what has been revealed recently, I'm not sold on the guy.

Did you read that report? He sounds like a nightmare to coach & be around.

This loss has to be haunting for Baltimore. They have been stigmatized as this team that cannot get it done when it matters so much that it's probably in their head now, and then they proceed do this. I think it showed in their game plan as well, because when the pressure was on late they played so conservatively.

Please let this be the AFC championship game.

It's week 1 so I don't it'll matter too much come playoff time except in regards to seeding.

I don't believe in Caleb. If ESPN was better at picking MNF games, they wouldn't have to put commercials on Red Zone.

I feel like the last 2 years, that game would've been a 10 point loss for the Jags

Really sloppy play, especially after the delay. Tons of penalties, missed throws, an incredible pick by Carolina, a pick-6 for us nullified by a soft penalty, but we still won comfortably, never felt like we were really in danger of losing the lead

Team needs to tighten stuff up, but it's a huge improvement to be saying that after a 16-point win. It's a much better baseline, that we don't need to be perfect to win

I think 10 wins is possible, but this team is probably a 7-9 win team. Just 1 game, but Coen is night and day from Doug and Press.

Also the 49ers lost Kittle and JJ, still won. Amazing

I know injuries are part of it... I'm excited our defense looks solid this year and our offense should look worlds different week 3-6. Kittle, CMC, Ricky, Jennings, Robinson, Aiyuk, Robinson.. We need to take care of easy business the next 2 weeks..

[Mamba Mentality]

Cactus why side are you on in the Walker/Charbs debate. Do you think we're looking at a split backfield this whole season unless one of them gets hurt?

Charbs- 4 ypc
Walker- 2 ypc

Imo Charbonnet has better vision than Walker. He's more of a downhill runner.

Charbs has looked like the better back. Walker also missed a good chunk of camp. But based on what I've heard it sounds like the coaching staff prefers Charbs over him.

Based on durability issues & lack of consistency, it's an easy choice.

I didn’t realize pearsall was an x and not a y unless I’m
Missing something. Thought he was inside guy only. Kid is a baller

He is special! Anyone who was watching end of last year could tell. I think he can play anywhere on the field, but we will see how they use him once the rest of the WRs are back.

Well, if you all can lose next Sunday, that would be appreciated.

Probably will

Defense got really lucky this week with the turnovers, but overall they're really not good, especially in the secondary (and especially especially at safety)

Might cause some issues up front cause the D line isn't bad, but if the Bengals' O line holds up even a little, Burrow is gonna put up a monster game. If Trevor's on it'll be a shootout, but if he isn't it'll be pretty bad.

[Lakers In 5]

Genuine question, what's the idea behind drafting Travis (and giving up the gauntlet) if his distribution between offense/defense is 42 snaps to 6?

[Mr B]

It’s only week 1 but it seems that Tyler Guyton is determined to not be a bust.

What did the 5 fingers say to the face?

This is one of the best games I’ve ever watched. I can’t believe Baltimore found a way to lose like this.

Thanks Josh, I won $190 from with just $10.

I won $297 with a $10 bet

Didn’t expect that payout, I was hoping to buy at 5% win probability to maybe 30-40%, close position and make around $30. As soon as the Ravens got that 3 and out, it’s almost destiny for the Bills to win at that point.

You can trade options like that? Interesting

If he spit on that eagles player instead, he would’ve been ejected from the game for sure.

[azcatz11]

Caleb will take this game over tonight. Expecting big things from this kid this season. Low key all pro candidate!
