One thing is also for certain, Russ still got that BEAUTIFUL 50 yard rainbow. Seems like his struggles are just in his head, if he can get back to playing confident football, he'll be fine.

Seahawks have the record I expected after two games, just not the way I expected to happen.

New England has sure been garbage since Brady left. Think it’s time for Billy Belichick to retire.

Oregon is favored by 20.5 against Colorado. I think the game is going to be a lot closer than what everyone is thinking. I know Colorado got lucky to win against Colorado State but it was a rivalry game and they are always a lot closer than expected. Honestly it wouldn’t shock me if the Buffaloes won in a high scoring game. They got lots of good offensive skill players. Either way, Colorado covers the 20.5 points easily. Easy money.

It will be a fun game to watch.   I have to admit... I will be cheering for the Ducks and want them to win big which is something I never do.   I would just like to see Colorado knocked down several notches.

I think it could go either way. I don’t believe in Colorado s defense or ability to stop anyone good. Colorado State does not have a great offense and they were able to move the ball and dominate at the line of scrimmage. Oregon is pretty strong up front on both sides of the ball. Colorado should be able to score and that allows them the ability to quickly build a lead or come back. I think Oregon could also just run the ball down their throats in the 2nd half. I would not be surprised to see Oregon beat them 49-28. That being said if Oregon gets careless with the football perhaps the Buffs could sneak in there, but the eye test tells me Colorado is not going to be near the top 20 at the end of the season. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

I will say though, 20.5 is a lot, especially given how prolific Colorado's offense has been and the fact even if Oregon does dominate them, CU's offense seems like the type that could put up a lot of garbage time touchdowns. Could be a 42-14 game late in the 3rd quarter and end up 49-42.

Yeah, exactly. Too much bombast. I’m looking forward to the coach prime press conference following the 49-14 humbling at the hands of the Ducks.

This is actually a Russ issue more than anything. It was an issue when he was here, it was an issue when Hackett was there last year with him. And it’s now an issue with Payton as his coach. 
 

You can’t go through 3 different coaches and still have the same issue and think it’s not you. Russ usually takes way too long to get the playcalling in at huddle. The Hawks replaced a few OC’s because of this. 
 

Refusing wristband does this.

Yeah, just like the high number of sacks in his career have been at least 50% on him.

Browns/Steelers and Panthers/Saints... boring.    And scores of 11-10 and 6-6.  

The only thing I am interested in is the Panthers because we play them next.    Our defense better be able to hold them to a low score.   But assuming the Seahawks won't be as prepared next week because they will be cocky coming off the win.

Not really watching but given the scores for these games… either the offenses stinks or a defensive battle and given one of the teams are the Steelers that’s probably a defensive battle game and the Browns being the Browns. 

[Cloud]

Still way too early but Bryce Young is finding out what the NFL is all about. His offense so far almost thru 2 games is producing 1 TD, 4 FGs, 2 INTs, 16GBR

ugly.

3 scumbags already called this morning. The first one left a really long message with all kinds of weird beeping and screeching sounds. The second one left a loud dial tone message and the third one left no message at all. Robocallers must be punished.

It’s Alex Trebec trying to communicate with you from the other side.

Well, barring a lot of injuries he'll at least have better protection from o-line and a completely different offense in Denver. I wouldn't be surprised if he starts off slow as he adjusts, but even as a diehard Seahawk fan I think he'll do well and isn't close to done.

He has had a VERY slow start at this point!

The “playoffs for the playoffs” begin tonight! Mariners mostly likely need to win 6 of the final 10 to get the wildcard…Get 8 games and they most likely take the division! Or they all take their Cabo vacations starting in early October.

Mariners!

Good start so far for the Ducks! 2 TDs on their first two drives. Gotta see what Coach Prime is made of now.

[TT-SEA]

That first half could not have gone any better.   Colorado has been exposed... not very good.
