2021 NFL Season

[Herdfan]

Back to the same old Winston today. One game he will look like a hall-of-famer, the next he looks like a 3rd-stringer.

Speaking of coaching, where did Darnold come from. He was a trainwreck with the Jets and is now 2-0 with the Panthers. Maybe it was the Jets who were the trainwreck.

Lamar Jackson with an atrocious start…

A receiver is wide open for a TD and he misses him badly, then on the next play he throws an interception returned for a TD by the Chiefs. Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory…

"were" ?

I’m giving him this one. Hard to work properly when you’re down eight coaches and half the defense. I don’t think anyone’s head was in the game today. Very disappointing.

 

[SuperMatt]

It looked like KC had the game. Down by only 1, they were in FG range... just run out the clock and kick a FG. But then they fumbled… And the Ravens win by 1 point.. 36-35. What a game!

Lamar Jackson with an atrocious start…

He recovered.

Wow, what a wild game for Browns fans.

• Odell Beckham was finally back
• One chain gang member got run over by Kareem Hunt and could be seen sporting a bandage over a facial bruise
• Another chain gang member was knocked to the ground and remained prone for a while before standing and being taken off the field for examination
• Myles Garrett got a team record for sacks
• Justin Fields of the Bears was constantly being mauled by the Browns defense.

Honest to god, I like Justin Fields and I think he's going to be a good quarterback. He's got good moves and he can run when he needs to. But his introduction to the NFL was not exactly salutary. The Browns D was all over him, to the point where you wanted to tell him and Myles Garrett to get a room.

I see Buffalo stomped over Washington, too.

And who expected to see Kansas City go 1-2 at this point in the season? And wait, Cincy beat Pittsburgh??

 

[SuperMatt]

And we have a new NFL record for the longest field goal - Justin Tucker wins the game for the Ravens with a 66-yarder that bounced on, and then over the crossbar!

Wow, what a wild game for Browns fans.

Well, when you hold the other team to net 1 yds passing and 46 rushing, either your defense is brutal or the other team's offense sucks grizballs.

Any given Sunday.

I am watching the Packers vs the 49ers. Jimmy Garoppolo (49ers QB) looks like it’s his first NFL game today. Throwing to the most-covered receiver, overthrowing open guys, giving the ball away on a spastic fumble, etc. I don’t watch a lot of 49ers games. Is he usually this bad?

But at least he stands during the drinking song.

Well… he turned that around pretty quickly! SF takes the lead with under a minute left.

 

[SuperMatt]

And then Aaron Rodgers shows why he is the best. He gets down into field goal range in 30 seconds…. Packers win!

The two NYC-based teams apparently aren't aware that the new season has started. 0-6 and it's not looking good going into Week 4. If I were a betting man, I'd bet against both of them heavily for this coming Sunday

 

[Thomas Veil]

It does boggle the mind. The NFL has structure and contingency plans for everything from the draft to Covid, but the one thing it can't do much about is bad sports team management in the largest market in the United States.

 

[SuperMatt]

The Eagles’ young quarterback Jalen Hurts looks confused out there against the Cowboys.

Are you ready for some football Eli Manning to flick you off?

You can't do that on TV, Eli.

I love his explanation, basically something on the order of, "They can blur that out, can't they?"

No, you huge doofus. It's a live broadcast--you can't just immediately pixelate something. It doesn't work that way.

I enjoy watching the NFL but I cannot stand the buffoonery. The 1-hour pregame shows are unwatchable; former players and coaches acting like idiots and mugging for the camera? No thanks, I will turn the TV on right as the game starts.

Anybody know

Spoiler: how long a football game is?

About 11 minutes. If you count the time between the whistle and the snap, there is, on average, 49 minutes of clock time where nothing is happening (I.e., no playing action).

Kinda spoils the game for me. Well, that and the head injury thing.
