It's hard to believe one player has so much impact in a game (other than qb), but the Saints really felt the absence of Taysom Hill. Eagles loaded the box and made Kamara a non-issue. Definitely looks like a different team than games 1 & 2 when they were the #1 offense in the league. Oh well, maybe next week.
Yea, dude is very versatile. I grew up an hour from Pocatello so Hill is kind of a hometown hero for me.

Defense shut the Eagles down. Offense should have put up 21 points before the second half.

I really don’t get too upset over any of it but I would love to see the Saints have a good season again. Don’t even need to make it to the Super Bowl. Just a good season.

KC pulling it off by a thread again. Not looking like a Championship team.
Mahomes has been picked / sacked more in these 3 games than I ever remember seeing.

Good to see Bo Nix have a good game. Not a Broncos fan but want to see a UO QB do well like Herbert has done.
KC has relatively new offensive weapons (besides Kelce) so it will take some time for get sync up. Nevertheless, their defense still looks strong.

Any college football fans on here? I'm a B10 guy (Illini fan) but have kinda adopted Montana St. as one of my favorite FCS teams. Stopped at Stone Glacier and Kennetrek stores in Bozeman last year and drove through campus. Looked pretty cool and was impressed with the stadium.

No, No, No - adopt a Grizzly instead :ROFLMAO:

Bobcats do have a great football heritage, ditto on the Grizzlies- I’m an alumn so have no choice but to root for the Griz :)

Big 10, Wisconsin. Not looking great this year though. :(

I’m baffled by the Broncos.

Other than Devine intervention, can’t help but think that the team owner probably gave Sean Payton a royal ass chewing after the first two games made it look like they would at best win 2 or 3 games.
Something had to of happened. They couldn’t get 100 yards of offense in the first two games. Now this. Things will go back to normal next week

I think that's what happens when the approach is more cerebral than physical. It looks like you are getting spanked despite small improvements continuously, until it clicks and the growth seems to be out of nowhere. Not speaking of Nix, but those around him (O-line) and the other two sides of the ball.

These rookie QBs need years to develop and I feel sorry for the ones who end up on a team that can't carry them for those few years.

Watched a lot of Mizzou football growing up. Went to college not far from there and my wife went to Mizzou so we went to a lot of games that sucked. A few years back we were living in Columbia and the team sucked. Moved away last year and they’ve been good since, guess that’s my luck 😕

It happens more than not with Rookie QB. Teams want to win now and not in a timely matter. I think going into this weekend no rookie QB had thrown a touchdown.

I would LOVE to see one of these guys do an Elway/Eli and refuse to sign. I think the long term financials are much better for a QB who has success and sees contract #2+ rather than the big signing bonus and slot money of being top 10 in the draft.

i.e. Bryce Young right now. Baker with his contract last year after everyone calling him a bust. Purdy will get his bag.

I think Fickell is a good coach, but not sold on how he is trying to transform your program. Wisconsin had a unique formula for winning and it has worked for 3 decades.
I don't like fickell, I think he is fickled. But really, Wisconsin has been for many years a running back program. Johnathan Taylor, Melvin Gordon, James White, Braelon Allen, and The great Dayne, Ronald Dayne., to mention a few. Now he comes in and wants to make it a passing attack school, only problem is they don't have quality QB. They have had several decent QB's, but no real standouts other than Russel Wilson, but he only played for them one season, 2011, after transferring from NC.

Well the Bills looked especially good last night. Allen was really on; 10 different receivers had catches. Defense looked pretty darn good too.

They've racked up 112 points in their first three games, not too shabby.

Boise State fan here, but just generally love college football, I usually end up spending way more time watching football on Saturdays than Sundays anymore. The NFL product just doesn’t have the excitement that college football does to me these days.

They looked good, being from WNY you are a bills fan by birth. I hate getting optimistic early however.

Understandable. Bills fans went through a looooong drought, but I have to say they always stuck by their team. I guess you could say the same for Lion’s fans - nice to see both back in the mix!
