Dez pensamentos sobre a NFL e os ursos – Windy City Gridiron

1)ThePittsburgh Steelersdropped a tough one in their home opener, 28-26 to theSeattle Seahawks, but losing their quarterback for the remainder of 2019 is likely going to doom their entire season.Ben Roethlisbergerwent on injured reserve with an elbow injury, which will make it next to impossible for them to climb out of the 0-2 hole they find themselves in. Backup QBMason Rudolphhad some nice moments in relief of Big Ben, but to expect him to get the Steelers back in the AFC North race is a tough sell.

2)Right now it’s the 2-0Baltimore Ravensthat lead the AFC North, but I’d like to see them play a better defense before anointingLamar Jacksonas the next big thing. They’ve knocked off theDolphinsandCardinalsso far, and they get theChiefsnext.

3)Speaking of the Chiefs,Patrick Mahomeswent 30 of 44 for 443 yards, while chucking 4 TDs with a 131.2 passer rating in their 28-10 win against theOakland Raiders.

He’s now on pace for 6,568 passing yards and 56 TDs this season.

4)TheGreen Bay Packerscame out hot on offense scoring 21 straight points against theMinnesota Vikingsin about 16 minutes, but then they went cold with quarterbackAaron Rodgersgoing 13 of 24 for 75 yards in the final three quarters.

They still got the win, andRodgersdenied there was anything to the discussion.

“It was about the look on defense,” Rodgers saidvia ESPN. “I was actually kind of surprised that he was coming over to talk about that, but we got it all sorted out over there on the sideline. It actually wasn’t a big deal. … We’re a little animated at times. I can’t say we were yelling how much we love each other, but we definitely weren’t MF-ing each other or anything. It was talking about the look there and getting on the same page.”

Rodgers and LaFleur have an interesting relationship.

5)As doJacksonville Jaguarshead coach Doug Marrone and starting cornerJalen Ramsey.

Following the Jags 0-2 start, and likely accelerated by this incident,Ramseyhas requested a trade. He’s one of the best cover corners in the NFL and the Jaguars should be able to get at least what the Dolphins just got forMinkah Fitzpatrick.

6)And speaking of the Dolphins, who’s their next player to get shipped away for some draft picks?

Will they fire head coach Brian Flores?

Will they win a game this year?

Will Josh Rosen ever get a fair shake in the NFL?

7)Drew Breeshas only missed 4 games since 2004, but with his injured ligament on his thumb of his throwing hand, he’s not expected to back for at least 6 weeks.

In the meantime theNew Orleans Saintswill turn to back up quarterbackTeddy Bridgewater, the highest paid QB2 in the NFL, to keep their 2019 season on track.

8)Should the 0-2Giantsbench quarterbackEli Manningfor rookieDaniel Jones?

I think it’s time to do it.

9)Yes, the gloves make it easier to catch the football, but this is still pretty good.

9a)One moreBrownsvideo clip.

10)After theBearsbeat theBroncoson a last second bomb of a field goal fromEddy Pineiro, All-Pro outside linebackerKhalil Macksaid this.

He went on to say that head coachMatt Nagyhas them practice for last second situations like the one that came up in Denver, but his quote aboutPineirowas the best of all.
