Well, that's 1 down and 17 more to go 😎

Only team not to sell out opening day. What a joke, the team and the fans, go Broncos!!

And where were the Bronocos in the playoffs last year? 😎

Didn't see any of the Oakland game.The Broncos were able to hold off the hapless Rams.KC was able to pull off a big Win.San Diego dominated Cincy.Props to DA BEARS. GO KC! GO SD!

Jimbo ... KC pulls off a big win? ...

when I saw that, I thought perhaps the Royals had helped the A's and knocked off the Mariners yesterday, but then noticed they'd actually lost to the M's in extra innings ... the only other KC team I know of with a game yesterday was the Chiefs who LOST their game ... oh, I know ... that 40-39 final score is a little confusing ... on the face of it, seeing that score would have you believe the Chiefs won ... it would be more realistic if the score read "Browns 39 - Chiefs 37 - Zebras 3" ...

And before you guys get in an uproar with me, I know why the call was made and understand the rule behind it ... and, I agree in general with the rule and it's application ... I just think it was horribly mis-applied in yesterday's game ... (or, more accurately, AFTER yesterday's game).

I frankly couldn't care less about the Browns or the Chiefs, who wins or who loses ... but let's get real ... when the game's over, it's OVER ... will they next summon teams back to the field from the tunnel to the locker room in order to have a non-overtime bit of extra play when some player violates a rule that would apply IF the game were still in progress ??? ...

It's almost comedic ... reminds me of the "pine-tar" game between the Yankees and the Royals some years back ... that turned out to be a mis-applied ruling which was later reversed ... this is equally ridiculous and should also be reversed by the league ...

bullwinkle - I think last year meams jack$hit right now since that season is over. Focus on the now, you beat a poor team, whereas the Broncos played a great team.

Jimbo - the Rams are far from hapless, Denver has a defense this year!! Now we just need Griese to play like an NFL quarterback!!

Chris,Rams score 16 points against anybody = Hapless...LOL

SteveS, Hey I didn't see it but from what I hear the guy through his helmet before the play was over = unsportsmanlike conduct. Chiefs win! H*ll, I'll take all the W's I can get...LOL

Jim - It's called defense, of course KC fans wouldn't know about that since they let the browns score 39pts. Don't kid yourself into thinking the Rams are a pushover. But as far as taking a win anyway they can, I concur, a W is a W is a W, too bad Oakland couldn't even fill their stadium for their "big" W...

Sorry, but the Raiders are a joke to professional sports with their band of outlaws and hooligans that follow them around like they were attending a Grateful Dead concert and still cannot sell out the stadium for any game, let alone opening day! I am a Chiefs fan and I hate the Raiders going back to the cheap shot that Ben Davidson put on Len Dawson 28 years ago! Charlie

The helmet throwing penalty is there to penalize teams for have stupid players. Some teams get away with it better than others. Dallas was penalized later that night for thinking they had a quarterback.

CW-the Seahwaks aren't a poor team...just a victim of poor coaching...

Charlie-Nothing like a good Chiefs/Raiders rivalry 😎

This should be a good season for football, I was looking over there schedule and there are a lot of good matchups..

Chris,The Broncos looked good.Also I'm a big Rams fan regardless of the ownership.Hapless = unlucky/

unfortunate.

The Rams are probably the most talented offensive teams out there as of late,but against teams with any serious "D" if they don't get the big/lucky plays off and their "D" dosen't show up,they don't score.It's almost predictable,the teams they should walk over they lose to.

That said, KC is my team but I can't help but root for San Diego at the same time.Oakland can KMA as well as San Francisco!

Go KC! LOL

Hey jj...them there is fighitng words down here in Texas 😎

I guess I should probably start cheering for the Texans now that Houston has a team again...

Yeah? No sense rootin for the Cowboys...LOL

Never have, never will! There were a couple good signs up at the game, one read:

Don't miss the oilers,

Don't know about the Texans,

BUT STILL HATE THE COWBOYS!

Or something to that effect..

The Cowboys were my "second team" (Always been a Chiefs fan) until Jerry "Show me A Camera" Jones bought them and the way he "dismissed" Tom Landry should have alienated all Cowboy fans! Jones is representative of all that is wrong with professional sports......he makes Georgia "Husband Accidentially Drowned" Fronterie look like a genius when it comes to football and the pig installed himself as General Manager---what a JOKE!!!

Yes, Bullwinkle nothing like the rivalery between KC and Raiders! Take any combination of Denver-KC-Oakland and you have football rivals that cannot be topped! Great games no matter what combination of the two you have on the field! I am a baseball fan first and foremost, but do enjoy the NFL.

1967. My Dad brought his 6 year old son to the Oakland Coliseum to see his first professional football game. I don't remember much of the game, but my Dad pulled some strings (from his old sportscaster days) and got us into the catacombs of the stadium. I was introduced to a bunch of really big guys whom I didn't know. They showed me all around the player areas and invited my Dad and I to have dinner with them at Ricky's Hyatt House.

Since that day. I have been a Raider fan. We lived in a modest middle class neighborhood 4 houses down from Jim Otto. (Football didn't pay very well then). Sometimes during the season, the entire Raider team would be at Mr. Otto's house (as well as all the neighbor kids). They were extremely friendly, in putting up with a bunch of wide eyed kids, and usually ended up in an impromptu scrimmage in the middle of the block.

Those were innocent times, away from multi million dollar contracts, when football was pure and was played for love of the game and not love of the money. I look at my Raiders as a team made up of a bunch of cast-offs, mostly veteran, no massive ego-millionaires. Some of the guys could have a better past. Some should probably look at retiring soon. But the overall feel I get for the Raiders is that they play for the love of the game still. There are a couple exceptions but not very many, or they wouldn't last long on the team. They get the job done. Sometimes these old dogs have a few dirty tricks up their sleeves.

Always and forever a Raider fan. Good times, bad times, L.A. or Oakland. I'll always root for them.
