2013 NFL Week 1 Open Thread

I hope 7 TD passes are just an exceptional day for a great QB, not an indication of what all of the rules changes have done to the game. If I want to watch Arena Football, I'll go to an AFL game.

If this were a real concern, Flacco wouldn't have needed to chuck the ball 62 (!) times just to throw for 300+ yards. And that says nothing about his putrid 1:1 TD to INT ratio last night.

The rules don't say not to cover dudes. I mean guys were wide open. Peyton wasn't even putting any zip on the ball about half the time...

Yep, no one to do this for him anymore.



Actually Torrey Smith did come up with a circus catch through a double team late in the game on their final scoring drive...problem is he can't do it as frequently or as reliably as Bolden, and Flacco will not look his direction most of the time because he is a TE dumper. Ravens are boinked this year.
