NFL opening week games thread

you read that right. The first game of the season is tonight.

Rams have been running all over the 49ers to this point. Most of it up the gut.

49ers lost their NT the day they first practiced in Australia for the season. They have brutal injury history the last while. Tough team though, well coached

Just remember raiders beat the pats week 1 last year. Week 1 can be funny especially playing a game in Australia. The rams strategy does not appear to have been a good one.

They will be fine long term

I'm actually feeling better about the Rams game about now

Meh. They have minimal depth in some key areas. Long season. Success from one year doesn't always correlate to the next. Aaron Donald is no guarantee to be a big impact as he's been out of the league for years. They may be fine and they may not. It'll be hard to replicate their success last year

No bout a doubt it. Obviously one of the best in the league.

From where I'm sitting, they are playing a very dangerous game. If they don't win it all this year and end up going deep into the playoffs they come back next year with no Aaron Donald, very likely no Matthew Stafford, a 31 year old Garrett with a ton of snaps on his body, McDuffie and 4 selections in the draft. They have no 1st rounder, the 2nd rounder would be at the bottom of the 2nd, they have no 3rd rounder, there 4th rounder at the bottom along with there 5th and 6th.

Rams looked good on paper.

[SkullCrusher]

Myles first game... doesn't even make the defensive list a complete bagel.

[Jeevo]

Two of the best 3 or 4 coached teams in the league and one of them got crushed. They’ll be back.

Shannahan son, vs shannahan tree.

Well, that tree did win a SB already. So there's that...

Shanahan wins the 1st one against the Chiefs if they just call half the blatant holds on Bosa. He was a monster that game.

rams r idiots for showing up in australia a day before a game while the niners showed up a week early and got acclimated the right way...rams players had no energy or bounce and got out played in all phases of the game

[Raidernation1979]

Tua ruled out for week 1. Man the falcons have had a crazy qb situation the past few years
