Problems for the Patriots

Cruising at 21-0 but Jimmy G is injured and in the locker room

Rookie QB J Brissett on the field

I'm used to the Pats having this many injuries in a season but for this many injuries to come by halfway through Week 2 is ridiculous.

Great stat, the Rams are averaging 4.5 points a game... and they're 1-1.

Denver D look as good as ever.

Been flagged for some daft stuff but aside from that it's been great.

Felt sorry for the Bengals yesterday, Seemed like they got screwed by the officials, missing a perfectly good TD then not over-ruling the turn-over late on. I get the camera angles weren't 100% clear but it was blindingly obvious the ball came out as a result of the contact from the defender so the player's knee was cleatrly down before the ball came out. The Bengals seemed unusually reluctant to challenge anything, though.

Despite being low scoring I found the Rams game very entertaining. Glad they won but still think they're lack of offence will hant them all season.

I'd agree on the turnover, they say it needs to be clear cut to overrule it and when you watch it make it seems clear his knee was down, surprised it wasn't changed.

Scrappy game as always when we play the Bengals, weather didn't help either. Happy to get the win in the end, we've got a habit of doing everything possible to try and make games closer than they should be at times, felt we edged it overall and deserved the win.

Amazing stuff from the Patriots

How good will they be with Brady and a fully fit Gronk ?

ITs ridiculous how they are down to a third choice QB and still completely steam roller a pretty decent side in the Texans.

Meanwhile the Browns are also down to their third choice QB this weekend, and I suspect it will be Miami doing the steam rolling there!

Is it too early yet to talk about the pats going 16-0/19-0?

It feels we have this conversation every year. The Pats seem like theyre the favourites every season, and if Brady/Belichick stay on for another 5-10 years, they'll be the dominate team over the next decade.

Well, not quite. Was almost rather embarassing for the Dolphins at the weekend

Honestly, I think if they want to expand the popularity of the league to the UK they should stop sending just garbage games to London. Sorry guys.

Think what the Pats are showing is that Brady is replacable. The Pats are so well organised that you can put almost anyone in the QB position and they'd still be fine. Edelman was the back-up at the weekend and he's shown he can throw in the past so he'd probably have done fine too had it come to it! Belichick is another matter, though. McDaniels and Patricia keep being touted as potential head coaches whenever a job comes up in the league so the Pats would do very well to keep one or both as a poitential successor to Bill.

I think this year all three games do have the potential to be decent match ups.

Incredible turnaround for the Ravens. They're now leading by 6

Patriots shut out as well for the first time since 2006

Raiders!

Such a soft spot for this team. Almost threw the win away today with some of their inexperience and inconsistency showing at times but managed to get it done. This is the type of game they'd have lost last season, still work to do but you can see signs of improvements.

Looking at the standings, only one team has won all 4 of the first games (Broncos, which was not expected considering their QB), and only one team has lost all 4 (The Browns )

As a Raiders fan I am happy at 2 - 1 and hope we push on for the first positive season in a long time.
I don't think we'll get playoff football but at least the team looks positive and I wish this was the Raiders team that came over to Wembley rather than the one we got.
