NFL 2023 - Week 3

[Rex]

This is interesting. Some genuine surprises on both ends. Think of it as 10 years.

[DSafetyGuy]

Apparently, Fields was allowed to finish the game today with concussion symptoms. Also, cornerback Tyrique Stevenson left the game after contact to his head, came back, then left the game later due to "illness".

I just realized the Bears and Panthers play each other on a Thursday night game. The NFL deserves it if they’re both 0-8 going into that one (the Panthers at least are going to be big dogs their next three games)

[sancarlos]

How damning for the Bears that the 0-3 Broncos, who gave up 70 points today, are 2.5 point favorites in the early line on next Sunday’s game in Chicago.

[L-Jam3]

McDaniels is a crappy coach, but that crossing route to Davante on 4th and 1 was a great play call.

[Johnnie]

Ah yes. It's the pizza in Vegas that makes it a great city.

[mister d]

I took multiple deep breaths at once when they said that. Need hockey to start.

[L-Jam3]

In their defense, Brian took me to a great pizza bar in Downtown last time I was there in the spring.

[brian]

Not gonna suggest it’s better than the East Coast but there’s some surprisingly good pizza here.

[mister d]

This game sucks shit, right? I need hockey back so bad.



(There should be, at a minimum, three categories of pizza. Standard (where this area is untouchable), Neapolitan and “thicker” for all Sicilian and Detroit style. The second and third are east. The first is impossibly hard.)

[Ryan]

This…sucks…? I need…at a minimum…three…hard

[mister d]

Is that inches or total dicks?

[Ryan]

Pizzas

[mister d]

Not sure I can handle that ; )

[L-Jam3]

I’m playing against Garoppolo, and that last second pick took my chance of winning from 53 to 67% (me: Chase and Bengals ST; him: Evans and 2 point lead.)

[mister d]

How does that not get a coach fired? It’s not an objective situation unless your QB literally can’t get on the field.

[brian]

Brian Branch had a day for the Lions today. First NFL DB with 10+ tackles, 3 TFL and 2 pass breakups since 1994.

[Johnnie]

Brandon Perna cracks me up.

[Gunpowder]

I had a feeling some dumb shit might happen in the DAL/AZ game.

[tennbengal]

Busy checking out waiver wire rules on various leagues...

[DSafetyGuy]

In their defense, Brian took me to a great pizza bar in Downtown last time I was there in the spring.

I imagine it was the same one he took me to when I was out there for a couple weeks and forgot to pack shorts. Walking around in jeans in 106 degrees was sub-ideal.

Why in the world are the local hacks in Chicago saying that the GM should be involved in the evaluation process of this team?

[Gunpowder]

The Bears are an absolute comedy of errors. I don't know if Justin Fields has any potential to be good given his inherent issues but it's certainly not going to be with the Bears.

I think you need to change "x.com" to "twitter.com" and it works. The weird thing, I opened your link, cut and paste the address, and it worked. Not sure why the address reads "twitter" when I open your link with "x".

I've tried that hack and still can't get it to embed.

Anyway, holy shit - the dolphins run schemes had Denver in an absolute blender. That's high school level hilarity when a powerhouse meets a minnow type blocking.

thanks rass. Just...lol.

ESPN can’t get the actual Toy Story theme to promote the Toy Story-ified game?

Driving anyone crazy? Just me?

[Ryan]

Dreamworks is notoriously cheap

[Rex]

I’m really pleased that the fans in Tampa are recreating the aesthetic from the Notre Dame/OSU game this weekend. I’m serious about that.

[rass]

Anyone else read Bunnicula as a (or with their) kid? No reason.

[EnochRoot]

1st half would've been a lot different had the guy who picked off Hurts (Devin White, in the flat where really only manatee OL could've stopped him) had been dealing with a groin injury. Otherwise, if he's healthy, that's six points the other way.

[L-Jam3]

It’s mystifying to me that the Rams had a top-tranche uniform back in the day (think the Dickerson-Everett-Ellard years), and they actively chose to look like they do now.

Pats fit this statement too. Pat the Patriot is freakin iconic, and the Flying Elvis is stupid. But the Flying Elvis has like a half dozen super bowl titles, so it's gonna stick around for a while.

There's an alt uni floating around that's the old-school red and the Elvis on the white helmet. Easy to pop Pat on there and an homage to both uniforms.
