Ravens off to a good start. As usual. Let’s see how the rest of the game unfolds.

the browns did everything to lose last week except leave the field... and they still beat my ravens...

I find it hard to believe Deshaun Watson played that second half as well as he did with a fractured bone somewhere in his shoulder. Nevertheless, I think ultimately the Ravens lost rather than the Browns winning - an INT, a pick-six, a blocked FG.

GO RAVENS!

Bengals season is over if Burrow is done.

Yeah without Burrow the Bengals are not the same team. They have not said exactly what the injury is yet have they?

He’s been hurt and not normal all year.

This is going to sound weird but during that last Raven TD, the player did a somersault crossing the goal line and when he landed one of his feet was out of bounds. Wonder if it counts as TD?

I didn’t notice his foot but I did think that was a stupid stunt with the game in progress.

It was definitely out of bounds but his body did cross the goal line clear.

The Bengals with or without Burrow are not doing much on D to stop the Ravens.

I think they said it's his throwing wrist. He crumpled in pain trying a practice throw. We'll see.

I'm 66 in two weeks, I play golf and lot's of pool. I have lots of arthritis in my hands and wrists, but I somehow manage the pain. Last night I carried several fans up the folding stairs to my garage attic for winter storage, one handed so a could hold on for dear life with the other. It's 10 foot up and I can't see the steps, my eye sight is that bad, I have to feel for it with my feet.

Nevertheless, the way Burrow went down I doubt we'll see him back in this game. Probably a bad choice to switch to the Bingos just in pregame tonight but I've got a 9-1 Thursday record going that I thought I could play with.

Wonder what was up with the two administration time outs during the game because a drone was over the field? If it wasn’t the NFL’s, I guess it could be considered a security risk.

There are always openings for QBs in the NFL:

Browns to bring in Flacco for a workout

Burrow out for season. Getting scary. Think they need to rethink Thursday games. Not enough time to recover.

Welp my season is over, a bit heartbroken but with my Bungals there is never a shortage of disappointment. I’ve lived it since their first season in 1968 when I was 8 years old, now 63 and still no Championship Trophy. Won’t be one this year either. Damnit!

I still think they need to get rid of Thursday games. Every week players get season ending injuries. They might still get them but4 days just isn’t enough time for a body to recover.

Lots of agreement in the early picks this week.

I dunno if I’m comfortable with the Lions being favored by 9. How long has it been since they’ve been favored by that much?

That's why I wasn't comfortable.

We got lucky. But the Lions need to stop reading their press clippings, they aren't that good just yet.

Lions have never been 8-2 in my lifetime.
