$90 million well spent by Jerry.

Didn’t Tampa lead the league in run defense a year ago? I’m sure Zeke will get his carries. Just might not be the opponent to do it against.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Dallas looked pretty good aside from the kicker.

This. There's nowhere to run. Dak is getting his. Stick with what works. Don't force it.

You at least have to try to run it to keep them honest, and it's not like Zeke is a scrub. Imaging only facing 136 rush attempts as a defense all season.

[yourout]

That Tampa front seven will give the Packers fits again if they play.

[PinaMadness]

The Bucs pass defense is pretty darn good too. I don't know why Dallas doesn't use their biggest weapon. Well, actually I do, but you know what I mean.

 

So they finally run the ball and they call an option? Are they playing college ball now? The option doesn't even work on Madden.

[pacopete4]

It doesn’t look like offense is the Cowboys problem. They’re putting up a lot of points on the champs.

[young guns]

The one thing NBCs booth official forgot is that Brady threw the ball, so no that's not offensive pass interference.

[owbc]

Meh, it was borderline and it’s great entertainment to have the Cowboys fans up in arms this early in the year.

Mike Zimmer is in his 8th NFL season as head coach of the Vikings. It’s odd to see a coach tenured that long with the same team who hasn’t won a Super Bowl. Reflecting on recent history, Bill Cowher is the only coach I can think of who won a Super Bowl after 7 years. The rest of them all won pretty early in their tenures.

 

Bruce Arians (2nd season)

Andy Reid (7th)

Bill Belichik (2nd)

Doug Pederson (2nd)

Gary Kubiak (1st)

Pete Carroll (4th)

John Harbough (5th)

Tom Coughlin (4th)

Mike McCarthy (6th)

Sean Payton (4th)

Mike Tomlin (2nd)

*Bill Cowher (15th)*

Tony Dungy (4th)

Jon Gruden (1st)

Brian Billick (2nd)

Dick Vermeil (3rd)

Mike Shanahan (3rd)

Mike Holmgren (5th)

Barry Switzer (2nd)

George Seifert (1st)

Jimmy Johnson (4th)

Joe Gibbs (2nd)

Bill Parcels (4th)

 

They can keep trotting Mike Zimmer out there for all I care (Go Pack!), but history says he’s not going to get it done.

Eight years already? It only seems like half that. Anyway, can't decide if they're not all that good or if the Bengals have improved.

[Fear The Chorizo]

The Vikings look absolutely awful...especially their offensive line

[PinaMadness]

Yikes, 10 penalties against the Vikings in the first half, and those are just the accepted ones. About half of those were offensive holding calls. The division might be a cakewalk for the Packers this season.

[OldHeidelberg]

Bengals go fo it on 4th and a long 1 from their 30 with a 14 point lead in the late 3rd. Failed and Vikes quickly score TD

[nate82]

Watching the Seahawks and Colts game and Taylor has been used in the passing game a lot. I don't remember him being all that much used in the passing game in college but then again there really wasn't much of a passing game for the Badgers anyways.

[yourout]

I never understand coaches waiting so long on the Timeout that the guys gets a free practice kick.

[nodakfan17]

I have a feeling I’m going to miss the end of the Vikings / Bengals game because the network will (rightfully) cut to the Packers. I wonder why networks don’t space out the TV windows a little better and capitalize on a standard post game show between the early and late games? I’m guessing they want to be done before prime time. To me, the solution would be to move the early games up by an hour.

He has 26 catches and 5 TDs as a junior. Not Brian Calhoun territory, but pretty good for a run heavy team.

[yourout]

Bungels about the gag this one away.

[PinaMadness]

Are the Bengals playing for a tie? They have the players now. They just have to overcome the coaching.

[PinaMadness]

Bengals manage to win. Down go the Vikings.

[PinaMadness]

Nice job by the two Bears defenders no to tag he receiver down so he could get up and score.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

NFC North looking like the worst division in the NFL so far.

NFC North looking like the worst division in the NFL so far.

I’ll bet they have at least one playoff team out of the North.
