Football season is here!!!

Chiefs lost another receiver to injury after Xavier Worthy collided with Travis Kelce.  Worthy has a dislocated shoulder with no time-table to return.  Rashee Rice is on suspension for the first 6 games of the season, so the word is that Hollywood Brown's receiving role will be expanded.  And once again, some younger receivers will probably be playing more often.  I think they need to get Smith-Schuster some more targets.  He was looking pretty good, and is a solid veteran.

The Carolina Panthers have fired Charlie Rock, a member of their communications department, for positing comments deemed insensitive and inappropriate.  I wish some teams would be as quick to punish their players for off the field actions as the Panthers were to fire Rock.  

Couple of big games already here in week 2.  The Cowboys and Giants, both are 0-1 and both of them were losses in the division.  Starting the season 0-2 in the division is tough and puts you behind the 8 ball.  Same for the Lions and Bears who face off in Detroit on Sunday.  Packers are already 2-0, beating Detroit and Washington, two of the top NFC teams last year. 

The Chiefs have a tough schedule to start the year, first playing the Chargers in Brazil and now coming home to face the Eagles.  A loss for KC would put them in a 0-2 hole to start the year, something that a team can spend the rest of the season trying to crawl out of.  

In survival league this week I picked the Steelers, thinking they should win at home against the Seahawks.  I almost picked the Ravens, who are playing the Browns, which would also be a good pick.  Or the Bills who are visiting the Jets.

MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL!!

What a way to have your season opener by having it televised.

Raiders, 1-0, host the Chargers 1-0 in Las Vegas. One of these by the end of their game will be 1-1…and the other will be 2-0.

This should be a barn burner.

GO COWBOYS!!
