That's Embaladores vs. Águias, according to my handy-dandy Google translator.

Hope nobody gets waxed in that game.

 

[playthrough]

Seems like some high totals for Week 1.

 

[justgladtobehere]

Maybe the best regular season game I remember was Baltimore -KC a few years ago. Looking forward to the rematch.

 

[I Should Coco]

Hope nobody gets waxed in that game.

You’re in midseason form!

Vao passaros roughly translates to go birds. I don’t care either way but I know too many Eagles fans who breathlessly utter that phrase.

 

[Spartan Squad]

Are we not getting two Monday games because we’re getting a Friday game? I suppose this was already covered when the schedules came out, but my tired brain can’t remember.

2 Monday games in weeks 3 and 4.

 

[Shropshire Slasher]

Hope the Eagles get Balsonaro's Revenge.

(Packers too, but I won't see them in the regular season for the first time in a hot minute.)

 

[Alma]

One of the strangest collection of early Sunday games - any week - I can recall.

 

[Spartan Squad]

After all the doom and gloom around the Niners with hold outs and hold ins, looks like they’re going to have their two big offensive weapons back for Monday. Now remains to be seen what kind of shape both are in, but it’s a positive sign.

Good matchups this week. However based on history, more than a handful of predicted playoff teams will miss 5hem entirely.

Niner centric but was reminded how in two quick years Purdy has gone from last pick to Pro Bowl franchise QB. Trying to remember anyone else who rocketed to stardom as quickly. Was Fidrych a late round pick? Brady was a 5th(?) but he didn’t star right away, how long did he sit, 3 yrs?

Dammit DirectTV better solve this Disney dispute, I’m getting pissed.

Brady was a sixth. He was the fourth QB in his rookie year but worked his way up the depth chart that year to be the backup the next year when Bledsoe went down.

Brady was a sixth-round pick and he became the starter early in his second season when Drew Bledsoe was injured.

Chiefs superfan gets 17.5 years for robberies

 

[qtlaw]

Went Hulu + Live TV, 49ers v. Jets and US Open available now!!

 

[Inky_Wretch]

Dang, the Chiefs did the quickest moment of silence I’ve ever seen.

 

[Chef2]

Is Maria still pregnant?

Dak Prescott was a fourth-rounder and penciled in as the third-string rookie apprentice QB until Romo and Kellen Moore both got hurt in the preseason. They threw Dak in out of necessity and he's started almost every game since.

You also had Romo himself and Kurt Warner, who were both undrafted but had been around the league for one or two years before they got their break.

I know most fans hate the flags, but as a student of actual, technical football execution, I’m really glad the refs are making it very clear with the offensive tackles and their alignment.

Tackle stances have been ridiculous in the last few years.
