FFS, that's game

 

[rumply]

Good call Gruden, at last

 

[GreyWind]

That's a fantastic play call.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Amazed.

 

[peterbuch74]

This Denver D needs to take a long hard look at itself.
Haven't put any real pressure on.

 

[peterbuch74]

Wonder how much the whole AB situation galvanised thr Raiders for this one.

[rumply]

Only ever time I’m ever going to be the outright leader of this circus.

Great response from Derek Carr about AB.

Most disappointing week 1: Bears, Browns, Steelers, Broncos?

Best week 1: Packers, Titans, Pats, Raiders?

Packers were pretty average. Not good not bad. Same with the Raiders.

Throw Vikings in the good column

The Biggest Surprises From Week 1 Of The NFL Season

We had warned Cleveland fans to kind of pump the brakes before the season.

Good call. Didn't watch Minnesota closely enough yet, and had expected them to beat the Falcons fairly comfortably. Seems to have been a strange offensive game from them.

Packers basically shutting out the Bears would definitely put them among the more impressive IMO.

538 gives the highest gains to Titans and Ravens, and the biggest fall to Browns and Bucs (which is surprising).

I rate the Falcons higher than the Bears that's my main reasoning.

This is a weird list. Is it a list of teams that exceeded your expectations?

If it's just a list of the best performed teams then its hard to see how the Cowboys and Ravens aren't on it

I think you'll find that a lot of teams go run heavy against Atlanta. Their DL is all about speed rather than power and I can see them continuing to struggle against the run.

The Vikings realised pretty early on that they didn't need to do anything through the air against the Falcons and they benefitted from early turnovers. I doubt that they'll see another game this season where Cousins only drops back 11 times.

I think you'll find it's more along the lines of which teams surprised. The Cowboys and Ravens both beat teams that aren't expected to be anything this season. If I was playing NFL Survivor I'd just pick the team who plays the Dolphins each week.....

 

[J Shuttlesworth]

That last TD, Watson to Stills

Makes you sad though that Watson isn't going to last long taking these hits.

I am on Footballs Future, and I didn't. Picked the team that was playing Cincy

And I'll probably pick the Texans this week now that BDN is out for a while

Sorry yup should’ve clarified!

Outperformed / surprised / exceeded expectations.

Yup fair enough.
Definitely a positive that the Viks can win in different ways, and their coaching staff is smart enough to adapt.

Don't care that Cowboys only beat up the Giants, that was the most impressive victory of week 1 imo. Can never take beating a division rival for granted.

The offense looked amazing, Dak reminded me of his rookie year form. It's been so long since seeing him complete passes with ease that I almost forgot how great he was when he won rookie of the year.

Titans. Pats, Ravens and Raiders all very impressive also.

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

Kirk Cousins is going to bend the haters over and have his way with them this season
