The are 11 games tonight. A few good matchups.

Jets vs Giants on NFL Network at 7. How much will Bell play? How will Giant QB Daniel Jones look?

Chargers vs Cardinals on NFLN at 10. Interesting to see Murray’s debut.

Those are the national games. There will no doubt be some regional games on your local channels depending where you live.
 
Not that I care but I would imagine they would play Bell little and less.

To me Murray is a mystery. I am not sure if he will be a Russell Wilson type, or a bust.He is an interesting prospect for sure. I might tune in for that one........
 
I think the Eagles just lost their backup on a late hit to a broken wrist.

EDIT: Never mind. He went off on the cart in an air cast but he seem to be back on the sideline without the cast. May be OK.

EDIT again: I had it right the first time. Brown wrist official as this morning and going in for surgery.

I am at a conference, and our team went to a sports bar for dinner. I got to see some of the jets game. Didn't see Bell at all. The rats QB looked pretty good. So did the stains D.
 
Browns fans are probably thinking super bowl after their opening drive TD.

There's a undrafted free agent on the Browns name Shehee. He snuck into a tryout for the Browns like Willie Mayes Hayes and ran a 4.3 so they kept him. He had a kick return TD tonight.

Bell didn't play at all for Jets. Not surprising that they'd want to hold him out but if i'm Bell, I'm forcing the coach to give me at least a series in front of the NY crowd. You would think he's dying to get on the field after such a long absence.
 
Tape....... You'd think most NORMAL RBs would but you of all people should know, BELL is worried about wear-N-tear so He probably asked to sit this one out...............


Oh and the Browns don't need and opening drive to think SB as they play in two every year............. KAbing






Salute the nation
 
In Baltimore today, they are winning the divisions and beating the Patriots to go to Super Bowl with home field advantage. Lamar is MVP and #1 offense in AFC. Many starters playing against 2nd-4th stringers at home will ensure a few early sell outs. Then Lamar becomes Lamar and the boo it’s come out by week 4. Usual August in Maryland, Orioles worst team in baseball and Ravens SB champs

Fixed it for you.

Out here Kyler Murray completes 6 passes and he's going to the probowl. Got sacked once and he literally disappeared in the pile.

Rats fans do this every year, they're delusional and always set themselves up for a big emotional letdown. They're also allergic to facts and fly off the rails when presented with said facts( a lot like Democrats). Back in 2008 Steelers were facing the Ravens for the 3rd time of the season in the AFC Championship game, my buddy and me walked into a sports bar I was wearing my Steeler hat and t-shirt and there was a raven fan sitting in close proximity. He says to me... Oh God, a Steelers fan I bet you don't want to see us again. My response was...why not they already beat you twice I wish they could play you guys every week. Needless to say he flew off into a tirade and that only encouraged my buddy and me to poke and prod even more. Eventually he was causing such a scene that they asked him to leave the bar before it even got to the second quarter. In summation Ravens fans are *** hats and I truly enjoy watching them set themselves up for a huge fall

****. Brown Wrist? That's hard for some guys to come back from. ;-)

It's not surprising that an athletic guy like Lamar does well in preseason when the other team hasn't game-planned or taken any specific approaches to manage a player's strengths. However, when the games count - Mr. Jackson will undoubtedly find that the guys who get paid to scheme against him will put him in situations he isn't as strong at.

That's why I pretty much ignore all the hoopla coming out of camp. I've seen far too many years where player A or Offense Z looks completely UNSTOPPABLE and then the season opens and... what do you know. No unstoppable players, no unbeatable offense.

They're just figuring out which of the bubble players have enough talent, skills, or smarts to give them a shot at the roster or the P.S.

The veterans are getting back in to game shape and the younger guys are trying to find a place at the table. Ultimately, the ONLY thing preseason is good for is to see if there's a special teamer that may be an upgrade over what they currently have in the stables.

Murray looked good, but the love they were giving him was way over the top. The sack he took he had no chance what so ever. People were in the backfield before he could even drop back. He has some quick jets and a lot of arm angles. His only incomplete pass was a mess up by a WR who stepped out and came back onto the field. I think he looked good overall, but its very early
