2018 NFL Game Thread - Week 2

[CoffeeNerdness]

As far as 2018 football broadcasting innovations:

The ESPN sideline extendo chair > The green zone

 

[Ralphwiggum]

“He’s facing jail time”. I’m sure Roger was thrilled at that call.

 

[DanoooME]

Boy they need someone on the other end of the line away from Clark that can rush the passer. Rasheem Green may eventually be that guy, but he's not quite there yet.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

I have to say I miss McDonough when a story like Kendricks’ pops up. Not a damn chance he wouldn’t be able to resist a crack about Kendricks’ likely jail stint for insider trading.

Tessitore clammed up like the smart company man.

 

[DanoooME]

This offense looks no different than Bevell's. That really bothers me.

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

Just checking...did Jordan Howard rape Nagy’s dog or something? Any reason Bears refuse to give him the ball?

Well, they’re basically getting 7 a pop to Allen Robinson

 

[j44thor]

How do NFL officials miss such an obvious off-sides as the one that lead to the Fred Clark sack? Give a DL a 1/2 second head start and more often than not they are getting to the QB.

 

[SMU_Sox]

I like Nagy and I like this defense but I'm not sold on Trubisky.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Taking shots down the field? What the fuck is Witten watching? Wilson has like 2 seconds to throw on every drop back.

Total incompetence.

Speaking of incompetence, Wilson has been fucking terrible. I would love to find out what his problem is.

Edit: Besides the OL

 

[InstaFace]

Ifedi was REAL close to giving up 2 points to Mack there on 3rd and 10. Could have been called holding in the endzone.

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

Booger McFarland has the same voice as Anthony Anderson.

 

[DanoooME]

TOP difference is just ridiculous. Defense is wearing down.

Ifedi might be a better blocker if someone chopped his arms off, Monty Python-style.

 

[Gash Prex]

Truibisky looks pretty good - huge leap for the 2nd year. looks to be a very good NFL QB in a few years (maybe even next year) and a solution for the Bears

 

[bankshot1]

That was a nice physical drive

 

[InstaFace]

Tessitore clammed up like the smart company man.

It's the smart move. Tessitore was always the smart one.

 

[shoosh77]

What a catch.

 

[DanoooME]

There's the Russell we know and love.

They need to do this up-tempo a LOT more.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Bears D going to gag another one?

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

Hey, it’s the Calais Campbell penalty!

 

[normstalls]

Did they call ‘leverage’ again? What a stupid call

 

[DJnVa]

Wait--Seattle just drop-kicked the kick off??

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

I’m not so impressed with Trubisky. No reason for him to tuck and run there, then give himself up 3 yards shy of the sticks. Looks nervous as hell.

 

[ernieshore]

They did. Ball was up at the 50 after the leverage penalty.

Looks like a 2 read and go QB. Doesn't appear to read the defense well pre-snap. Nagy needs to dial everything up for him. Actually reminds me a lot of young Alex Smith. Took him about 8yrs to become a competent QB.

He just needs a game against the Pats to get his confidence back.

 

[DJnVa]

What a bad throw Wilson. Wow.

 

[DanoooME]

Nice pass Russell

 

[ernieshore]

He jumped the route.

 

[shawnrbu]

2778 pass attempts since Wilson's last Pick 6.

 

[BigSoxFan]

What a bad throw Wilson. Wow.

Should have handed it off to Lynch. They never learn.

 

[DanoooME]

Fire Schottenheimer

 

[BigSoxFan]

This is going to be a rough year for Seattle

 

[DanoooME]

This is going to be a rough year for Seattle

Rooting for a top 5 pick at this point

 

[tims4wins]

Remember when Russ said his goal was to win 6 rings? Trollololol. He’s barely won 6 playoff games.

 

[Ed Hillel]

 

[moondog80]

Why did the clock stop twice on that drive?

 

[DanoooME]

I'd be curious why teams don't try to drill a receiving team player with the kick and hope to get the bounce.

 

[Ale Xander]

That division is so bad. Rams will clinch it by Halloween.

 

[Kliq]

I feel like there are an inordinate number of shit offenses in the league; which is strange when you consider how the rules are slanted to give offenses the advantage. Maybe it’s just early season rust with reduced practice and training camp time, but it feels like there are 6-8 teams that are just awful at moving the ball.

And yet collectively the league had 100+ passer rating Week 2.

Thank god for Patrick Mahomes and Ryan Fitzpatrick!

 

[lostjumper]

Thank god for Patrick Mahomes and Ryan Fitzpatrick!

And Blake Bortles! Wait...

 

[BigSoxFan]

And Blake Bortles! Wait...

I laughed. And then cried.
