Official running NFL Week 2 thread

Because we're only a day away from Ravens-Steelers.

 

[Evil ... Thy name is Orville Redenbacher!!]

Will the Ravens be focused and up for the game - Us against the World mentality? Or a hot mess?

I think they need to score 24 points to win.

Really cool story about the Bengals' Devon Still:

CBS will be the hot mess Thursday night.

 

[MisterCreosote]

If the Ravens win, how long before someone peddles the REDEMPTION!!!! story?

Ravens-Steelers = Red Sox-Yankees.
With bigger douchebag fans and worse off-the-field behavior.

 

[JackReacher]

Yeah. That "rivalry" really doesn't get me hot and bothered anymore. Maybe if it's a playoff game. Even then, doubtful. I'll likely be watching the Nats or something on the DVR.

The league doesn't like to let new rivalries grow organically, they have to shove all the old ones down our throat.

Yup. Any given week, I could pick out at least 8 or 9 games I'd rather watch than Ravens-Steelers. That probably won't stop me from betting on it, though.

 

[Michael_ Gee]

Aren't all the CBS Thursday night games divisional games?

 

[JackReacher]

Seems so.

 

[RecoveringJournalist]

Seems so.

There's only two that aren't. Chargers-Niners and Bears-Cowboys

Chris Long needs ankle surgery and is expected to be out 2 months. Wonder if the Rams wish they'd kept Michael Sam?

 

[LongTimeListener]

No.

If they want him back, he's all theirs.

 

[Mr. Sunshine]

Looks like the Rams might be getting another top 2 pick. Better ramp up that QB scouting.

I'd guess Marcus Mariota and Jameis Winston would be at the top of that list.

Why do you have rivalry in quotes? Both teams miss the playoffs one year and suddenly it no longer qualifies? Or are you just burned out on it?

To answer Evil's question, I'm betting if there is an impact, it will be the Ravens pulling together. Either way, I'm sure somebody on that team will go on about the media providing extra motivation if they win Thursday night.

BTW That was a smooth move by Tomlin to release the Ray Rice video and get Antonio Brown out of a suspension.

I'd say that was well played, but given your posting history, you might actually mean it.
