We can expect the Jared Goff era to begin after the Rams bye week.

Just now someone somewhere on the field was picked up on the field mic saying very loudly "IT'S A FUCKING SLANT!"

Is it just me or is there a lot of bad football being played in the early games today?

The EIGHTH turnover in the Minny-Philly game is proving your point.

That game has been awful but the other games haven't been bad.

chargers-falcons looks like a shootout as expected

If you want to anger a large midwesterner, make sure your airport bar remote is broken and all TVs are stuck on MLS during the NFL.

Yes, poor LeGarrette Blount cut by the mean Steelers. Fuck you Nantz.

I wish my team could kill clock as effectively as the Steelers did during their 2-minute drill.

"Oh. NOW the Chargers learn to close out close games." - Me and everyone else who took ATL in survivor.

That Dan Quinn should look up the word "hubris" in the dictionary. That 4th down play was Mike Smithian in its absolute idiocy.

And fuck the god damned Bills.

I strongly disagree with this. In that scenario, given the overtime format, the fact that Atlanta's defense gave up 30 in regulation (including scores on the Chargers' last 3 drives), and the fact that Atlanta averaged 5 yards/carry for the game, I think going for the first down was absolutely the right call. Obviously it didn't work out, but I'd hardly call what was at worst a 50-50 call an example of "hubris."

Maybe, but the Chargers got the ball 5-10 yards from field goal range. Simply too great a gamble. You punt and they need to go 40 yards.

Yeah, but in evaluating the decision you also need to factor in the significant chance that Atlanta ends up with points on that drive if they convert the 4th down play. Atlanta's offense had been much better than their defense in that game so I don't mind giving the offense the opportunity to go for the points.

If Atlanta makes it, they still need 50 yards for a winning TD. about 20 yards to take the lead. Failing, the Chargers only need 5-10 to win. I think that risk is too high. It's the Chargers. Punt it to them and they will fuck up.

Yeah, I also think that was the wrong move by the Falcons.

Ive never seen a team survive on missed field goals like the Seahawks do.

Not to scare anyone but the odds of Hillary losing the election in two weeks are roughly akin to...an NFL kicker missing a 30-yard FG. Which just happened twice in about 4 minutes.

DaveInSeattle · Post by **DaveInSeattle** » Sun Oct 23, 2016 11:49 pm

Unwatchable. That game was just unwatchable.

We dvr'ed it...and when we got to half-time my GF said "I can't watch this anymore". I looked at the score online and saw that it was still 3-0 with 4 minutes left, so we watched the rest of the game.

Awful...brutal...ugly....not entertaining at all. And they wonder why their ratings are down.

This reaction is amazing.

hahaha nobody won that game?

I put up with all of regulation but decided that was enough and went to sleep. I'm the sports version of the guy who was with Trump until two weeks ago.

I'm confident that the way the Steelers pass-blocked yesterday, Ben would have completely shredded that team. With all the Steelers had going against them, I'd be embarrassed to be a Patriot fan after that. I mean I'd be embarrassed to be a Patriot fan in general but even more so after that. Can't Simms just go out on the field and literally start sucking their dicks instead of exposing us to a 3 hour love story every time? Is that allowed?

Sorry man, were on to the massive Bills Pats game to decide the AFC East in week 8.

I think it had everything you want in a football game. Except a touchdown. And a winner.

And it was almost 4 hours long! And had 15 punts! NFL action at its finest!

degenerasian · Post by **degenerasian** » Mon Oct 24, 2016 11:22 am

There are going to be defensive struggles, a one off.

I thought overall yesterday's games were quite good. Jets came back, Dolphins came back. Chargers came back. Detroit won at the death.

Post by **brian** » Mon Oct 24, 2016 1:31 pm

This is as much due to the Lions defense barfing away leads late in games as anything, but still. Pretty impressive considering he's only 28.

My biggest regret is living in Tucson while he was at the U of A and I didn't find a way to party with him.

I doubt 3.0 YPA with more than 30 attempts is a record but it ain't good.

Rob Johnson was not bad, he won that playoff game.
