Posted earlier in addicts thread but wanted others thoughts. Did I miss anything?
NFC east
Redskins, same team different year. D Jackson hamstring injury. Good game plan, run first. Defense played above expectation, special teams ultimately lost the game for them. No halftime adjustments...Gruden isn't smart enough for that.
Cowboys, bad injury to Dez. They will miss Murray more than they expected. Witten is an oldie but goody, Romos safety net. Tough schedule ahead with trips to Philly, NO and NYG and for ATL, NE and Sea. 2-6
Giants, no running game. Eli/Beckham needs Cruz in lineup to be more effective. Secondary not as bad as I thought. Get JPP back and the defense wont be half bad.
NFC North
Packers, still there division to lose. Nelson out, JAMES JONES IN!!!
Lions, blow huge lead on road. Who is there RB? Is Calvin Johnson old? They miss Ahole Suh and Fairley
Bears, Forte is still a workhorse 141 yds rushing and a td and 5 receptions 25 yds, fantasy stud. Fox is a good HC, he can get them to maybe .500 but Cutler makes too many mistakes. Defense needs a pass rush
NFC South
Panthers, no true #1 wr. Ginn dropped wide open td. Cam did spread it around to 9 or 10 different pass catchers. Olsen complete fantasy week 1 bust. Kuechly concussion hopefully not serious. Panthers D is there strength.
Saints, tough first game to travel to Zona. Who is there RB?, held to about 50 yds rushing. Cooks a week 1 fantasy dud, Spiller may help the offense but Brees misses his tall target Graham especially in the redzone where NO settled for fgs instead of tds.
Bucs, oh boy! not a lot of positives here. Winston played like a lost rookie, welcome to the NFL (Lebeaugh had a little to do with that). Having no Evans hurt. Martin looked good but Bucs down to much to commit to the run. Defense is a work in progress. Seferian Jenkins one bright spot for TB. Gonna be a long season
NFC West
Seahawks, tough division game. Chancellor huge missing piece. On side kick to start O.T.? Lost confidence in Defense? Not reading too much into week 1 for Seattle, they will be fine.
Cardinals, How valuable is Carson Palmer to Zona? 300+ yds 3 tds, 8-1 record last year before his injury, 3-5 after...protect Palmer! Ellington injured could hurt, Fitz loves having Palmer at qb. Arizona is gonna be a tough place for any team to go to and win.
Rams, great win for them. I have always liked HC Fischer. Solid defense sacking Wilson 6 times and great special teams. Foles looked solid
AFC East
Bills, great first game for Rex and the Bills. That D is gonna be hard to run on and picked Luck twice. Another great home stadium, gonna be tough for opponents to win there. Tyrod didn't get sacked and managed the game, exactly what they need. How about Percy Harvin, he's a weapon if used right, Rex will do that.
Pats, Brady is Brady. Gronk is Gronk. Edelman looked uncoverable, interested to see Bills approach next week. Lewis may take time from Blount. Defense looks like it may have some wholes allowing 351 through the air and Williams 127 yds on ground. Are they still the class of the division? Until someone knocks them off you gotta think so.
Dolphins, special teams won the game for them. Landry looks like a stud. They didn't get Miller involved enough. Defense should keep them in most games this year.
Jets, Better team with Fitz at qb. Ivory primed for a solid year, running game in general a strength 150+ rushing. Marshall/Decker a nice #1 #2 punch at wr. Solid defense but in maybe the toughest division in football this year.
AFC North
Bengals, Dalton solid game and not sacked. Nice 1/2 Hill/Bernard RB combo. Eifert might be a top 5 TE this year. This was a win against the Raiders but still a long trip and week 1. Bengals look to be a division contender.
Steelers, a lot of mistakes in week 1. FGs instead of tds. Brown will catch 7-10 balls every game. Williams looked great, will he take some time from Bell? Defense and kicking game a concern.
Ravens, Suggs done for year a huge loss. Tough first game for Flacco, just over 100 yds passing 2 picks (one a pick 6). Ravens still had chances to win this game and will be tough at home.
Browns, Its Johny Football time. He will get hurt playing the way he does. They still cant stop the run. Gonna be another long year in Cleveland.
AFC South
Titans, In sole possession of first place! Mariota 4 tds no ints, quick start helped him. Titans over 100 yds rushing, nice balanced attack. Defense (labeaugh) forced turnovers and 4 sacks. Nice start to the season.
Texans, QB controversy already. They miss Foster. Hopkins 9 catches 98 yds 2 tds, nice fantasy line. Oline played horrible. Defense very disappointing except JJ, 9 tackles 2 sacks...beast. Secondary must get better!
Colts, tough first game at improved Bills. They will get better but how long is Hilton out? Running game struggled and I'm not in the Frank Gore camp, well past his prime. Still Colts division to lose IMO
Jags, Oline is still atrocious. Yeldon shows promise. A lot of blown chances. Kicker missed Xpt and fg. Another long year in Jax
AFC West
Broncos, Peyton is showing age, no td passes 1 int (when did that happen last?). Thomas got hurt, CJ Anderson hurt (fantasy week 1 bust). You can kick some long ass fgs in Denver, both kickers had 50+ yarders that woulda gone from 60+. Defense did a solid job ultimately won the game for them. Is this the year Denver takes a step back, maybe SD or KC?
Chiefs, nice opening road win. Defense looked real good 5 sacks and a couple to's. Still no tds to Wr's but Kelce had 2 and Charles 1 receiving. Thinking Maclin may get a few this year. Alex Smith a game manager and Chiefs D give them a chance in any game. Thursday should be a good one.
Chargers, nice comeback win. Rivers 400 + yds, Allen 15 catches 166 yds, week 1 fantasy studs! How can you not love Danny Woodhead, hard nose underated player...2 tds. Defense held Calvin to 2 catches.
Raiders, They didn't do much right. Carr hurt, Murray 44 yds rushing. Defense no sacks or to's. Same ole Raiders.
NFC east
