I figured Sturgis couldn't kick. Had almost kissed PAT, then did miss PAT and was visibly hurt.

Then comes out and is fine one the PAT after that 4th down TD.

Then female ref throws her flag out of bounds calling a player lined up in neutral zone to save them after coming up short
Yeah....nice job by that female ref! I wonder how in the hell this was a monday night game! Neither team was expected to be any good, were they?

Monday Night games have been mediocre to bad for a few years. Ever since they moved it to ESPN the focus has been to make Sunday Nighy the good game, because it's the one on network TV that more people will watch

Not to mention the McDonough guy they have in the booth with Gruden is not very good. I don't mind him, but him and Gruden together are awful.

True, plus SNF has the flex ability late in the season. Gruden....really goes over the top and not entertaining to listen to anymore and he gets paid a shit ton.

The Brian Hoyer-lead Bears will be on SNF this week. I'd rather just watch the Cowboys practice than play the Bears.

Jerrell Freeman is a good watch but overall Bears are one of the bottom 3 watches for me.

Hoyer is an upgrade over Cutler for fantasy and excitement factor. The Bears decimated and already terrible D is going to make it more fun.

Lol at Belichick. A brand new version of his raking leaves attire.

Tom Brady's trolling on Facebook is A+. It sucks for me because I have hated the pats for awhile, but between Goodell being a POS and Brady's trolling they keep giving me reasons to like them.

Yeah, havent seen a game that boring in a very long time.

If I didnt know better I would think the league is rigged.

Just watching two different games this afternoon and NFL officials just make too many mistakes. The inconsistency of what a defensive back is permitted to to or they allow him to get away with drive me crazy.

The Bengals Dline giants on XP and FG attempts could make some huge game deciding blocks this year. 6'8 Margus Hunt greatly affects extra points every time it seems...then sided by 6'7 and 6'6

The officials is the Bengals game are fucking awful. They also did the Bengals playoff game last year. Fuck these guys.

I would think the NFL would try to avoid that a bit better. This crew used to be pretty good a few years ago but they have struggled the last handful of times I have watched them. They see little stuff but miss obvious stuff.

A bunch of upsets early in 4th quarters but guessing most don't hold off

Tough slate of games early on. I'm not convinced they aren't pretty good.

Still missing Eifert and Burfict. Typically they come out of the gate looking great and have trouble maintaining through the season....maybe a slow start will change how things play out when it matters.
