Hottest game in the NFL in 15 years. And the refs must have sweat in their eyes. Missed a PI call on Telvin Smith where he was grabbing a Pats jersey while the ball was in the air. And 3rd and long, Ngakoue loops around untouched and drives Brady to the turf.
Eh smith totally lowered his helmet to attempt a hit
His head dropped BBC his shoulder did. I thought it was clear he tried to lead with the shoulder. Perfect example of why this rule is so bad: in a lot of cases it's incredibly subjective.
Makes teams earn every yard. They don't seem to give up anything easy.
Not this drive, Pats are moving. And I know people hate that penalty but under the rules that’s the right call
Point is, there's no missed assignments, or anything soft. They make you earn everything and don't give you anything easy IMO. I'm not saying you can't drive against them but it's a grind to do.
people in LA don't care about the NFL. Plus, many of the people who do are from somewhere else. Lots of transplants in LA
Basically true -- USC and UCLA football, and Pac-12 football beyond that has deep roots here. However, to be fair, the Rams were VERY popular here for a generation, until they moved to Anaheim. The Raiders are still popular here, probably more popular than the Rams. The franchise relocations really broke faith with the fans, and having the Rams move back and the Chargers leave San Diego for L.A. isn't helping that sense that these are carpetbagging owners who don't care about the city or the fans. I doubt the Chargers have made any new fans in Los Angeles since moving. The Rams are doing a little better because they're good.
I drove by the site of the new football stadium last week; it's less than half an hour from my neighborhood and it's going up fast. I think it'll become a legitimate destination here. It's in a slightly odd location, under the approach to LAX, kind of like the Shea/Citi Field site near LaGuardia. I wouldn't have chosen that spot for the new home of the NFL in L.A., but what do I know?

He but, but, but, Bortles isn't any good.. two great catches by Cole.
Early, but Jags defense destroying NE Oline too...actually Giants oline looked better.
Watch long enough and you'll see

Their receivers get open, they catch passes, and their QB's don't sail uncatchable balls all over the place.

See what? More completed passes?

Skins fans at FedEx were no different. Empty. Home opener after trouncing the Cardinals? I guess the fans knew better.

Maybe because they can't? Bortles is carving that D up. Jax Oline blocking NE rush like it doesn't exist.
Pats won't go out easily. But Jax looks very good.
Our D gave up 13 pts...1 TD & 2 FGs..
(2) Can't get off the field on third down.
