He played a great game, no doubt, and was key in determining the outcome.

I meant that having most of their first four games at home and half of them against beatable opponents, even with the qb handicap, felt like a gift to offset a little of the sting. I think Kraft is universally well liked, but that his coach and qb are another matter and a lot of those "friends" in the ownership still wanted to see the Pats slapped hard for getting away with, at best, working the margins, for so long. At worst, cheating.
Didn't mean to discount Law's game, just noting the two who are doing most of the grousing were out performed in that game.
So the week is on. Game one in the books.

So my thoughts of a very close game with Denver upsetting or at least upsetting the line came true. And just like that it's 1-01. Car @ Den: the Super Bowl rematch, sans a few important pieces, has the line favoring the Panthers by 3...The money is running toward Carolina (betters) at that margin like kids for Koolaid, 80/20. I'm going to take the upset here. I haven't set my book yet, so I can't call a score, but Carolina was embarrassed, Denver has lost important pieces. It should be the Panthers perfect storm of revenge...Just a feel thing here.
Call: Denver in the upset. Maybe Carolina by one.
Meanwhile, on a sadder note...
Not this year (or at least not in this game) but a good game to start the season. Up 17-7 at the half, Carolina couldn't put them away and Denver found composure and the end zone two times, to take the lead in the 4th. Three points in a half just isn't getting it done, Carolina.

You know, I was really looking for more out of the Carolina offense with Benjamin back in the lineup. While he did have an outstanding game with 91 yards and a touchdown, it wasn't enough. The Denver defense gave Cam Newton no quarter last night as they harassed him from start to finish. Siemian, on the other hand, made some mistakes but I was impressed with his composure and his ability to move the ball down field. As a C.J. Anderson owner in one of my leagues this year, it was the silver lining to this game despite starting the season 0-1. :smack:
Don't blame the league for them any more than you blame the first amendment for whatever either candidate for the White House have to say.
That said, I like what the team USA hockey coach had to say about it. Did you catch it? In essence, anyone who sits through the anthem can get comfortable, because they'll be sitting for the rest of the game.

That was a great game last night. Both teams played good and both teams made mistakes. All in all it was a fun season opener. At half I wasn't too confident about coming back against Carolina's tough defense but some how we found a way. That game felt a lot like like season.

What did you think of Siemian's debut?

Wishful thinking, I am afraid.
The good news was that both teams have great defenses and both were held to just a hair over their regular season average from last year. Anderson managed 92 yds on 20 carries for a 4.6 average and a td. That's encouraging. Cam put up more yards and a better qbr than in the Super Bowl, but not by much, while Denver's offense in sum looked marginally improved. There was better play from the qb position, but it was still woeful and I'm wondering if that will see Denver give you know who a shot at some playing time against a less than imposing Colts defense. :think:
On 9/11, of all days, there were some who wanted to dictate what’s “appropriate” when it comes to respecting this country. Who decided symbols are more important than what they actually represent.
On this day, of all days, there were those who would rather make a mockery of our freedom by insisting we all act and think as one than allow people to actually exercise our most cherished rights.
On this day, of all days.
For those indignant that Marcus Peters raised a fist and four Miami Dolphins took a knee for the national anthem on what has become our most somber day, for those who have railed against Colin Kaepernick these past two weeks, remember this: the terrorists behind 9/11 tried to do by violence what some Americans would now do by shame.

I'd fire anyone who protested today. I wouldn't want them to represent my organization. That's the thing about free speech, it doesn't necessarily come free of consequence.

Number two. The guy who tries harder.
Well, I'm having a good day so far, which considering I went into prognostications without an operating model, means I'm feeling good about the effort. I lost the Bengals and Packer games by a half point per, the KC by 1.5 and blew it supporting my Colts and Seattle. Otherwise, on the money. :chuckle:
I've won 8 going into tonight and tomorrow and am currently ranked in the 95.1 percentile in ESPN's Pigskin Pick'em contest. Here's hoping for 3 more wins. by Monday night. :thumb:
Toward mid-week I'll release and eventually compare my power rankings going into week 2. :cheers:
