Well what do you expect? You've got a recent two-time super bowl winner in the division, and you've got the Redskins and Cowboys, whose fans always have an over-inflated sense of importance. And the Eagles, who always make headlines.

And yeah, the teams all look like shit right now but still it's week fucking 2. A lot can change as the football season goes on.

I understand your and Machado's interest. You both have a personal stake, but otherwise, who gives a fuck about Dallas, Washington or for that matter, Tampa Bay? Where's the talk about Seattle kicking the shit out of the Niners? The Pats and Ravens early suckage? Denver's apparent ability to roll anybody and everybody? That stuff is a lot more interesting, at least to me.

When a team begins the season
0-2, the odds of making the playoffs are extremely low.
I looked up the stats;

Only 8.8 percent of 0-2 teams recovered to make the postseason in the past 11 years.
Under the NFL’s 12-team playoff format instituted in 1990, only 8 percent of postseason teams (22 of 276) started with an 0-2 record.
Since the NFL’s divisional realignment in 2002, just eight of the 91 teams to lose their first two games of a season fought back to earn a playoff berth.

I keep hearing this bullshit, but tell me this-

What are the odds of an 0-2 team making the playoffs when no team in the division is better than 1-1?

The Seahawks are walking around as if they have won SB titles in most recent years.
This past week you have Sherman whining that Harbaugh did not acknowledge him after the game.
WTF!!!
When asked what he said to Harbaugh after the game, Sherman hinted that the 49ers coach blew him off.

"I told him good job, good game, but he didn't give me nothing back," Sherman said. "I guess sportsmanship doesn't go both ways."

Looking at the postgame video, Sherman tapped Harbaugh and immediately jogged away, which didn't exactly give the coach a chance to show sportsmanship. It appears Harbaugh did say something back to Sherman as the cornerback jogged away. We're guessing Sherman didn't hear Harbaugh respond.

The Denver Broncos suffered their biggest loss of the young season on Wednesday.

NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported that injured starting left tackle Ryan Clady was going on season-ending injured reserve, according to a source who spoke with Clady. The Broncos later confirmed the move and added that Clady's injury required surgery.


I wouldn't worry about Dallas too much remember "Romo is going to put in Manning type hours" with that new contract of his vs I guess what their saying is hardly anytime at all in the film room and on the practice field with the money he used to make.

Yep, at least Harbaugh is a good coach and a douche. Not a shitty coach and a douche. Funny thing is, most of the Lions coaches in the past seemed like pretty cool guys.

I remember wayne fontes reeling off about 6 straight to make it to the playoffs, in a season where the owner had declared playoffs or he was fired.

At the end of the season the obviously annoyed owner said "Well he didn't resign, and I didn't fire him" answering a reporters question about whether or not wayne was coming back

I think he finally canned him the next season.

As far as Schwartz, I can understand why he was annoyed by that whole handshake thing. It was one hell of a douche face off that's for sure, with those two.

Sounds they want nothing to do with the people the previous regime brought in.

Remember how much they gave up to move up to draft Richardson?

I'm a first year Browns season ticket holder and beyond pissed at this point. This team never fails to amaze for all of the wrong reasons. Naturally time will tell but the reaction around town is instant disgust. All faith in the new regime has been shattered. Blowing up the season after WEEK 2?? Unheard of. Oh well, the penance of a Browns fan. Pittsburgh sucks shit still.

Yeah that's whats crazy, you hardly ever see a move like that so early and especially for such a young promising player unless he's a head case and I've never heard anything like that about Richardson. My bad on the picks I posted earlier they'll have 2 1sts, 2 3rds, and 2 4ths next draft so at least you'll have an interesting draft to look forward to.
