Week 2

[River Dog]

Week 2 kicks off tonight, with Prime Video hosting their first live game of the season, and it's a good one, Packers vs. Commanders. Both teams won decisively last weekend, with the Packers defeating the Lions, who have won their division the past two seasons, by two touchdowns 27-13, and the Commanders beating the hapless NY Giants by a nearly identical margin of two touchdowns 21-6.

I'm going to have to multitask tonight as the Mariners seem to have finally shaken the sand out of their shoes and have won 5 in a row after having lost 6 of their previous 7 games and I'm trying to get my heart back into baseball. I'm not sure how I'm going to manage it. Normally, I'd sit in front of my TV with a game on my tablet and one on the big screen, but I like sitting out on my deck in the evenings this time of year. I might have to dust off my old tablet and see if I can't get one of the games on that device.

First world problems... It could be worse having 2 radios to listen to both games.

Yeah, trying to multitask and listen to two games on radio would be a challenge.

The Packers have opened their season by beating another playoff team last night. The Micha Parsons trade looks like it's paying off as he was a major factor in their defense even though he recorded just .5 sacks. At 2-0, they have to be one of the early favorites in the NFC. Anybody have Tucker Kraft on their fantasy team?

I really like the format that the Prime Video app has. They have a 10 second FF/RW feature that reacts instantly, which allows me to start watching the game an hour or so after kickoff and fast forward through the commercials, halftime, and in-between plays. The other providers, like Fubo and Tablo, the other two I use, doesn't have nearly as responsive of a FF/Rew feature.

I'm not optimistic about this weekend's game vs. the Steelers. Witherspoon is out with a knee injury, which is a little scary. It will be DK Metcalf's first appearance against his old team. It's a rare 10am PT start time.

It’s going to be a tough game to win but in the NFL anything can happen.
I would like to see the Offense be more varied than last week and use more runs, play action, pre snap motion and get the TEs involved.

Recent Injury Report is looking grim from the Secondary side.

Julian Love battling a groin injury, which may limit his ability to cover deep.
Witherspoon is now listed as doubtful, I didn't see that till now.
Nick Emmanwori is out, makes sense with his high ankle sprain

Looks like we will get a dose of Shaq Griffin in this game.
