NFL 2021 season - Belichick Strikes Back

[Ar-Pharazon]

I expect the Bengals to be 2-0 after tomorrow’s game in Chicago.

2 straight INT's for Burrow, including a pick-6 for Roquon Smith

Clearly, I am an idiot.

Bengals offense has been incredibly flat all day.

 

[BillJ]

Also, Patriots pick off Zach Wilson 4 times.... in his first 10 passes, including his first 2.

Why no one should ever take the pre-season seriously.

 

[BillJ]

When it rains, it pours.

Is Burrow regressing? Been staring down receivers all day.

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

3rd straight INT for Burrow

He was bound to have a game like this


Then Fields returns the favor....

 

[BillJ]

Maybe I’m less of an idiot than I thought...

Fields clearly isn’t ready.

Is any rookie QB ever ready in their first game?

 

[BillJ]

Carson Wentz hurt?

 

[Aragorn]

Wentz dinged up again. His backup had never taken a regular season snap and was definitely not ready to run the two-minute drill. Is Wentz just snakebitten?

Tough day for my Rams in Indianapolis today.

Jalen Ramsey came through in the end after Aaron Donald knocked Wentz out. His replacement immediately threw a pick.

In the end it’s a road win, so I’ll take it.

Some come in more ready than others. He’ll eventually be really good, just hope he isn’t forced to start next week in Cleveland.

 

[BillJ]

Buffalo is up 35-0 in Miami.

Who is Tua’s backup?

 

[BillJ]

Who is Tua’s backup?

Jacoby Brissett.

 

[1001001]

Jacoby Brissett.

Meh.

 

[BillJ]

Meh.

He’s definitely not the answer as a starter. I imagine Stephen Ross will start applying pressure for a Watson trade.

 

[Spider]

Tyrod Taylor hurt. Some rookie named Davis Mills is in. If it's serious, do they activate Watson next week?

Also, Patriots pick off Zach Wilson 4 times.... in his first 10 passes, including his first 2.

Watson won't be playing, but the Texans still have a day or so to sign another QB or two. They play this Thursday night. Mills will be the starter, Taylor is out for a bit with a hamstring injury, Watson is collecting his salary not practicing, and they don't even have a 3rd QB on the roster yet (after Watson). But someone will be Mills backup, someone they sign probably Monday to bring into camp.

Tagovailoa out of the game vs. Bills.

I was basically watching the 49ers game, but it sounded like a lot of QBs went down. The Justin Fields era has started because of injury too.

I was watching the Bears game, he didn't look all that good against a pretty weak Bengals defense. If he has to start next week, it will be against the Browns.

Are the Browns a better D than Cincy, or just different?
