The 2019 football season has officially begun! The Hall of Fame game was played last Thursday, between Denver and Atlanta. Pretty ragged game, since NFL training camps have just begun, but, hey, it was football.

I always miss the HOF game since I never check the listings for football this time of year, though I should have known it was about time for it. I am just happy football is getting ready to start back up!
P.S. I did get to watch the game as the NFL network rebroadcasted it yesterday. I noticed Joe Flakko was now with Denver.

There were several preseason games last night. Pretty ragged, for the most part, as coaches were looking at the rookies. Still, it was football.

I know! I missed my Skins! Hopefully the NFL Network will rebroadcast it, maybe this weekend. I keep forgetting to check the channel guide. Must be getting senile in my old age!

I did get to watch a rebroadcast of the Skins & Browns. You're right: it was ragged! I was not at all impressed with their OSU QB draft pick. Ohio State goes for primarily running QBs and this guy did not seem to be much of a passer. That Case Keenan wasn't too bad but I am hoping they will start Colt McCoy. Obviously you can't draw a lot of conclusions from pre-season.

I watched the Skins' 2nd pre-season game last nite and both they & their new QB looked awful. I don't think they are going to do anything this year. That game had some of the worst officiating I have ever seen. Both coaches challenged some of the absolutely horrible calls and in every case the call was upheld - ridiculous!

I watched the Giants vs Chicago last night. The Giants looked good, but, that doesn't mean much - Chicago didn't play any starters, and the Giants played a lot of starters in the first half. IMO, it takes a few years to really evaluate a qb, so I'm not making any judgements.

Well, my Skins finally won a game! However it was against the Falcons who have lost 12 straight pre-season games going back to before they played in (and lost) their Super Bowl. Oh well, we'll have to wait to see what happens.

The regular season has begun. Last night, Chicago and Green Bay opened the 100th regular season of the NFL. Green Bay won 10-3. The Green Bay defense looked good, and Mitch Trubisky (Bears qb) didn't. Last nights game was the 199th time Green Bay and Chicago played each other in the regular season.

Even the Bears highly touted defense didn't look that good. Aaron Rogers did what Aaron Rogers does: he took over the game!

Regular season week one: I was not happy with the weekend's games, My hapless (or maybe hopeless) Skins got beat by the Eagles, the Giants got beat by the Cowboys, and the Patriots beat the Steelers. Crap!!!

Yeah, Dovehunter, not an auspicious start to the regular season.
