Week 1 was bad. (Why was "suck" filtered?)
https://fivethirtyeight.com/features...-was-terrible/

Wow, Week 1 Of The NFL Was Terrible
Games were low scoring AND not close.
By Greg Guglielmo
Sep. 12, 2017 at 12:40 PM

Last NFL season gifted fans some of the highest scoring, most competitive football in league history, capped off by an epic Super Bowl, which saw the New England Patriots rally from a 25-point deficit. Week 1 of the 2017 season made all of that feel like a long, long time ago.

Only three Week 1 games were decided by 7 or fewer points, the lowest number for an opening week in the NFL since 1973, when one game was decided by 7 or fewer. The first week hadn’t yielded fewer than even five such games since 1976, the year before Tom Brady was born.

In the 290 regular-season NFL weeks since 2000, a week with three such contests has only happened 10 times. And if not for two late fourth-quarter Los Angeles Chargers touchdowns that occurred while most of the East Coast was sound asleep Monday night,1 Week 1 of 2017 would have joined Week 7 of 2009, Week 8 of 2010 and Week 12 of 2008 as the only weeks since 2000 with a measly two games decided by 7 points or fewer.



The results from the past five days are an anomaly for Week 1, which in recent years has been one of the NFL’s most competitive weeks.2 And it marks a particularly stark turn from last season, when opening week produced four 1-point games, two 2-point games and an average margin of victory of 7.6 points, the lowest of any week since Weeks 1 and 2 of 2013. In Week 1 this year, games were decided by an average of 13.6 points.

If games aren’t close, then — for entertainment’s sake — let them at least be high scoring. But Week 1 didn’t give that to us either. Teams in Week 1 combined for 40.4 points per game, the sixth-lowest weekly mark since 2012. That’s more than 5 points below the 2016 average. (If you bet the under in Vegas on Sunday, you probably earned a room upgrade — 10 of 12 unders cashed.)

Low scores and blowouts happen, but they’re rarely this pronounced at the same time. The ratio between Week 1’s average total points per game and average margin of victory was 3.0 to 1, the eighth-lowest it’s been in a week since 2012.3 Low ratios mean low-scoring games that aren’t very close, either — not exactly the hallmarks of entertaining football.

The lackluster start to the season was most likely the result of a confluence of factors. Injuries to stars like the Indianapolis Colts’ Andrew Luck and the New York Giants’ Odell Beckham Jr. derailed those two offenses and helped generate boring routs. There were also some uniquely terrible performances, such as the historic stinker put up by Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton. And there are a couple teams — the San Francisco 49ers and New York Jets — that appear to have checked out before even starting their 2017 campaigns.

That the most exciting football of the NFL’s first “weekend” came after midnight on Tuesday for many Americans speaks to how awful things were in Week 1. Here’s hoping they get back to normal in Week 2.

I see that this guy is one who believes that it is all about offense. For me, I can enjoy a defensive game as much as an offensive one.

I will also admit part of the lack of scoring this week is poor offensive play for many teams. I would put a lot of this on the lack of decent OL play in many cases.

Did you watch Chargers vs. Broncos last night? Both offenses just looked scattershot and really poor. Chargers especially.

The media is down on week 1 because:

1. The golden boy got his ass kicked and looked really bad on Thursday night.
2. The second golden boy's team got its ass kicked and ruined the "feel good" story about Houston recovering from the storm.
3. Both NYC teams looked pathetic.
4. The refs botched Seattle/GB
5. They couldn't harp on half the Browns team kneeling for the anthem.

The Saints and Seahawks are in real trouble unless one of their backup OL magically become good.

Side comment, but the refs blowing Seattle/Green Bay was honestly not enough.

That Fail Mary game is STILL the singlemost atrocious call I've ever witnessed in a football game.

For that one call, NFL officiating owes Green Bay TEN biased games in their favor whenever they're against Seattle.
