For me, it was the Chargers getting beat by Arizona. Didn't see that coming.

Yeah, pretty tough to beat that upset... The Saints taking Detroit to OT was pretty crazy as well...

How about Jax being the only team that won in Florida?

It looks like it's gotta be the Chargers.  They were the biggest favorite and lost outright and even then, it wasn't even close.  A bunch of people got kicked out of a Survivor pool I'm in, though, so that was good.

Well for me, living in Dallas it has to be the Cowboys being beaten by the Giants. I heard all off-season how the new Dallas defensive coordinator was a whiz kid and was gonna get the Cowboys worst defense at least to middle of the pack. Guess it's going to take a bit of time for that to happen.

The one thing I took solace in today was listening to the sports reporters in Dallas all lose their collective minds this morning. LOL

I gotta agree with this one.   The Giants have sucked for so long

The two teams many people picked for the Super Bowl both lost by quite a lot. Neither the Rams or Broncos showed up in week one and I think that was a pretty big surprise.

There were a few shocking results, but yeah, that one that was also top of the list for me.

I’m from Denver and I had a feeling that last year was kind of flukey. Nix just isn’t the guy and Payton is not the genius people pretend he his. I expect a bad year or mediocre at best.

Heard one commentator talking about how since the league switched to three preseason game the quality of week 1 play has dropped.

And in other news, DUH. I wasn't cool with that decision when it was announced. I bet it goes back to 4 games in a year or two

I bet they get rid of them entirely, especially if it goes to an 18 game schedule.   All it does is get guys hurt.  They can have dual scrimmages at different locations and charge fans a fraction of a regular game ticket.
