majob Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I'm honestly worried the Lions will be the first team to go 0-17 at this point because their schedule is tough and outside of the Eagles game or the Falcons game, the possibility of a win looks slim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A win is a win, but that was gross to watch. Vikings continue to get awful penalties at the worst times; third downs that result in opponent’s first downs, offensive first downs that get negated, etc. Vikings’ Play calling was suspect yesterday. Offensive line continues to struggle. There are playmakers on this team that are carrying a lot of dead weight. The Lions game has shone the Vikings who they are - a team with a talented few who would be lucky to make the playoffs, and if that somehow inexplicably happens, will not pose any threat to the contenders. @majob I have faith that the Lions will win a game or two. Dan Campbell proved post game the team still has heart and they do play hard. They have just had terrible luck to close out games. I would do some serious praying to the Football Gods this week to turn your fortunes around. Edited October 11, 2021 by PerryToxteth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And worried about the Chiefs. They’re 2-3. This doesn’t look anything like the team that went to the Super Bowl the last two years. And last in the AFC West. Not good.

Pete Carroll has done very well.... in Seattle. His tenure with the Jets wasn't good. His tenure in Foxboro was forgettable. And he might have stayed at USC had all the things like recruiting violations and paying players not caught up to that program and thus requiring Carroll to get out of college football one step ahead of the enforcement authorities.

Worst defense in football, an offense that routinely vanishes for 2-3 quarters per game, hardest division in the league, not to mention one of the hardest overall schedules, an injured QB, RB1 and RB2... your draft pick is looking pretty good this year. I'd be upset about it but Seattle would probably use the 1st rounder to draft a long-snapper and try to convert him into a fullback before he injured himself in the pre-season and never set foot on the field anyways. Not much of a light at the end of the tunnel this year, which makes me wonder if the trip back to long term mediocrity is looming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough loss for the Bills. Titans better pray Henry can go like this for the whole season. He gets hurt and they're done, way too much importance put on one players shoulders. Two great primetime games! - Roethlisberger has hit the Old Age Favre portion of his career. He thinks he can still do what he could do 10 years ago. Sometimes it works, sometimes it fails miserably. Geno Smith performed better than expected. Tomlin takes the headlines griping about the clock stoppage, but why did nobody ask DK Metcalf what in the hell was he trying to do??? No timeouts and he bolts up the field, rather than stepping out of bounds?!? He’s damn lucky the other wideout had the wherewithal to jump on the fumble, then get up and race the ball to the middle of the field so the ball could get set. - I support the decision to go for it on the goal line. Josh Allen is a pretty big kid so maybe I roll him out instead of trying to stuff it up the middle. But play for the win on the road. At some point, Derrick Henry goes down with an injury, right? He is incredible to watch, especially in the second half, but with those amount of heavy duty carries, it doesn’t seem sustainable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shannon Sharp's got your back, lol. DK's definitely gotta stop with the hero ball derping. When it comes to feats of athleticism, like chasing down Buddha Baker, love him, however more than once he's botched easy decisions trying to get an extra yard or two instead of going out of bounds. My man's just not too bright I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skidmarkgn Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 So if the Chiefs lose this game I still wouldn't worry much if I was a fan of theirs. They still have Mahomes, Kelce, and Hill. They're gonna eventually slow down on the turnovers and looking at their remaining schedule I don't see why they can't still pull off a 10+ win season which, in the expanded playoff format should be enough to at least pull off a wild card spot (although with the Raiders' problems right now combined with the Broncos being exposed as complete frauds after the 3-0 start and the Chargers being an up and down mystery I wouldn't rule out the division yet), and if they make it in they're always a threat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matto_lsi Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 So today's Niners game will be interesting. It's raining so much here, and the wind blowing so hard, that it sounds and feels like a jumbo jet crashing in the street outside every 15 minutes. The second story on my house shakes violently when this occurs. Pieces of my neighbors houses (shingles, gutters, etc...) are flying off, tree branches are littering front yards, the standing water on the road and in backyards is ankle to knee deep, a full fence board was torn off the front of my fence, and a tree in my backyard got ripped out of the ground, separated from its roots, and fell over. I saw a bird try to fly by, but it was toppling end over end in mid-air. I can only imagine what a football game will look like being played in a wide-open Levi's stadium not too far from here.

skidmarkgn Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 11 games played so far this week and 6 of them were blowouts, with four of the six having a team in single digits (25-3, 54-13, 27-3, 41-17, 31-5, 38-3). What the fuck is the NFL becoming? The league of "parity" certainly isn't living up to that moniker lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
