Week 1: Chicago Bears (0-0) @ Houston Texans (0-0)

You cant forget about the "What a steal! - Guy is gonna be a STUD! - He could even play some tight end!"

Umm . . . Seattle?

But yeah, Seattle, Arizona, KC, and Houston all have the largest spreads this week so it makes sense that the picks would follow suit.

And some of those picks are "experimental" ones that always pick the road team, or the team with the best QBR or PPG or rushing yards/game. Taking that into account, only two guys picked against the Texans and one of those is Sam Monson who was the biggest critic of the Osweiler signing and was also vocal about how Aaron Donald should've been DPOY over Watt last year.

 

at least they have a super bowl

 

I saw those, I was like Road Team? WTF kind of picking is that.....

I guess to just see how it equals out later on?

 

Actually, they don't.

First Super Bowl wasn't until 1967.

They have a league championship. Houston Oilers had two league championships of their own (AFL, 1960 and 1961) between then and the first Super Bowl.

 

Scorin Dorin Dickerson to you sir

 

Let's hope Stephen Anderson doesn't join that list.

 

I hate myself for reading those comments. There are some level headed people, but the homers are too annoying. I understand being a homer and all, but your team is the ****ing Bears. It's like Titans fans thinking a 10 win season isnt far fetched.

 

Kind of like Jordan if the internet had existed back then?

 

"As great of a player as Yao was, he was kind and patient with everybody. He wasn’t trying to feed an image, or cultivate a brand, or manipulate a public persona. There is a goodness about Yao that is unique, that never left him through all the pain and injuries and disappointments that accompanied his unprecedented accomplishments and successes."

This is what JVG said about Yao. Will anyone ever say this about Watt?

 

Maybe, maybe not, but they'll probably say that JJ Watt is the greatest player at his position in his generation and possibly ever.....will anyone say this about Yao?

 

Preach, Bob.

 

Wait are we talking about his talent or his authenticity?

 

Where are all the guys expecting Denver to be an easy win this year?

 

And exactly how is that even relevant to anything? We watch both athletes to perform, excel, and hopefully win at their respective sports. What their attitude is, what their characters are, that is all extra stuff. At the end of his career, Watt is a transcendental talent that will arguably be the greatest defensive player to go down in history. No one will ever be able to say the same thing about Yao.

 

I think his point is that you can love the athlete and not necessarily the personality/character/attitude. They are two separate things. The "haters" on here have only talked about Watt off the field; not his performance as a defensive lineman. No one doubts what he means to his team on the field.

 

His name is Bobby. He's here.

 

Exactly...two different things entirely.

On the field, best player on the planet and, if healthy, will go down as an all-time great.

 

I guess for me, it just doesn't matter much what they do off field as long as they stay out of trouble.

 

How many years have you known Kubiak's offense...Its bound to remain mundane...and susceptible at being beat... Denver will have issues...What was more telling was how bad the Carolina OLine was during this game. Their tackles have real issues to speed around the edge..
