Not with only being able to dress 46. Could happen in college I suppose.

Unfortunately this thought process would likely prevail. As if game management needs to take precedent over the healthy of a human brain.

I would be stunned if the league didn't throw a suspension or two at the Broncos. Looking at highlights today, it was an absolutely outrageous display.

The Lions have already been eliminated from playoff contention.

That Mike Evans TD catch was fucking great.

Browns are gonna Brown.

I will say Carl Nassib has looked impressive throughout the preseason and today's game. He'll probably get hurt later today.

4th and 1, :23 left for Jax, down 4, and out of a GB timeout Bortles throws a set play to a receiver behind the line of scrimmage. Said receiver gets stuffed, game over.

Man I hate that play call.

As a Bucs fan, I wish they drafted Donald instead.

But in their defense, how can you expect to beat a rookie QB from North Dakota State who barely played in preseason?

I watched that unfold and it was inconceivably stupid.

And bear in mind, I had just spent 2 3/4 hours watching the epic Bills/Ravens game. Classic Rex Ryan, the Bills had 3 absolutely crushing penalties and ran a moronic offence.

5-11 in Western New York. They lose to the Jets at home on Thursday, the knives will be out.

the Giants look like the team Matt Millen was trying to build all those years

Failing to score against the Giants' defense in the final 2:00 is a pretty poor way to start your career IMO

What's with a $1.3b price tag, you'd think they could close the roof enough so that the Cowboys wouldn't have the sun impede a few of his 4th Q passes to his receivers.

Man what a great week 1. Lots of close games.

or pool reasons I was all over the Lions today. Football without defence can be a lot of fun.

That was almost the most Lionsy game to ever Lions. In many ways it was anyway.

QB controversy!

Post by **brian** » Sun Sep 11, 2016 8:16 pm

This might sound like a complaint but it's mostly an observation but why do announcers obsess over Patriot assistant coaches? They spent an entire quarter talking about their OL coach. Who fucking cares?

Post by **brian** » Sun Sep 11, 2016 8:30 pm

It me.

Bellichek will trade garropolo for 19 1st round picks.

Tire rod Taylor is really good at evading a pass rusher and overthrowing his receivers.

THE PATRIOTS ARE IN A 17-14 GAME IN GLENDALE AND THAT IS A FAMILIAR THING

So getting shoved to the ground constitutes a hold. Good to know.

Post by **Sabo** » Sun Sep 11, 2016 9:58 pm

Holy crap, David Johnson. What a run. That was Barry Sanders-esque.

ETA: Holy crap, Larry Fitzgerald. What a catch.

That was a stupid catch by fitz. I shall continue drinking this old fitz in his name.

So the Arizona game plan is throw it to fitz. My game plan continues to be throw Down the fitz. Both are working.

Every game on in my local market has come down to the last two minutes this week.

Car-den, jets-bengals, packers-jags, Dallas-Giants, Colts-lions, pats-cards.

Damn. Can't stand them, but I don't think I've ever seen a team in any sport that capitalizes on their breaks like New England. What a coach.

HaulCitgo · Post by **HaulCitgo** » Sun Sep 11, 2016 10:47 pm

Jimmy G looked ready. Pats cut him loose a little and he delivered. Id say theyre playing with house money now. Gronk might help a little too.

Same for me, but I had Raiders-Saints and Seahawks-Dolphins. What a week.
