2018 NFL Game Thread - Week 3

[Deathofthebambino]

That Buffalo game is Exhibit A on why not to gamble on the NFL, and why it's so damn hard to stay alive for a long time in a Survivor pool. Who knows how it ends, but this type of thing of happens more in the NFL than any other sport, IMO.

Mariota in at QB for the Titans, even though he's dealing with an Ulnar nerve injury, after Gabbart got destroyed, and probably concussed.

Saquon Barkley and the Giants playing well against Houston. Calvin Ridley looks like the real deal for Atlanta. Wents and Luck could be a fun duel today.

 

[JCizzle]

The Chiefs are unreal. Give me a KC - JAX playoff matchup to see those units face off.

 

[johnmd20]

Josh Allen is playing like a superstar today. Who knew?

 

[luckiestman]

Josh Allen is fucking crazy he just hurdled some defenders at the line to gain in a really dangerous way. Not what you want to see your young QB doing.

 

[luckiestman]

Bills at the 5. I love America

 

[rymflaherty]

The Fuck is happening in Minnesota?!?

 

[Al Zarilla]

The Chiefs are unreal. Give me a KC - JAX playoff matchup to see those units face off.

11 first downs in the first quarter. Madon.

 

[JCizzle]

11 first downs in the first quarter.

The Niners gave up like a 3rd and 15 to a screen pass because they have to drop so deep in coverage. Plus a ton of missed tackles and penalties. A better team probably holds them to seven to this point, but it's a matchup nightmare.

 

[GoDa]

NFL players are just too big for the game.

 

[Kliq]

Jordy Nelson has 3 catches for 139 yards already.

 

[JCizzle]

Jordy Nelson has 3 catches for 139 yards already.

He's alive??

 

[johnmd20]

Allen is going to get himself killed and he keeps this up. This is absolute fact.

 

[Byrdbrain]

Wow Buffalo gets completely screwed over on a replay and then Minnesota gives it right back with a personal foul.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Nice play action TD pass from Jimmy G,

 

[soxhop411]

The Vikings are going to be booed off the field.

 

[Marciano490]

Miami needs some more space between the end zone and that wall. Stills almost got Bump Bailey’d.

 

[JCizzle]

Nice play action TD pass from Jimmy G,

Great playcall by Kyle. He was wide open. Our FB is probably one of the best offensive weapons ha.

 

[mostman]

If you gave the Bills the points, I have bad news for you.

 

[johnmd20]

24 - 0 Buffalo. This is epic.

 

[shawnrbu]

The Chiefs are unreal. Give me a KC - JAX playoff matchup to see those units face off.

They play in Mexico City.

 

[johnmd20]

If you gave the Bills the points, I have bad news for you.

Minnesota only needs 6 TDs to cover. It's fine.

 

[shawnrbu]

24 - 0 Buffalo. This is epic.

Outscored their opponents 38 to 3 since Vontae Adams retired at halftime last week.

 

[johnmd20]

Mahomes is unbelievable.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Wow Mahomes.

 

[Byrdbrain]

So this Mahomes guy might have a future in this league.

 

[johnmd20]

Outscored their opponents 38 to 3 since Vontae Adams retired at halftime last week.

Vontae was obviously the problem in Buffalo but, on the flipside, it's clear Carlson was keeping Minnesota together.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Miami needs some more space between the end zone and that wall. Stills almost got Bump Bailey’d.

You're 100% right. Someone is going to get hurt really, really bad there this year. Could be a player, or it could be one of the camera guys sitting in the 3 feet of space between the end zone and the wall. Seems to me to be an epically bad decision to put one of those private "clubs" there.

 

[mostman]

So this Mahomes guy might have a future in this league.

The pass he made to bring them into the red zone was an absolute seed. He has quite the arm.

 

[Jnai]

I am the Survivor pool curse of death. Had Saints in Week 1, Vikings today.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Mahomes is unbelievable.

Wow Mahomes.

So this Mahomes guy might have a future in this league.

Trying to think of a comp. maybe Randall Cunningham?

 

[Ed Hillel]

KC is the 99 Rams

 

[johnmd20]

Trying to think of a comp. maybe Randall Cunningham?

Rodgers.

 

[BaseballJones]

I am the Survivor pool curse of death. Had Saints in Week 1, Vikings today.

This is why you (any of us) should never ever bet on sports. Coming into this week Minnesota looked great and we know they’re really good. And at home. Meanwhile Buffalo looks like the worst team in the league going on the road and they’re 16.5 point underdogs.

And they’re crushing Minnesota 24-0.

What the hell?

 

[Al Zarilla]

Rodgers.

Yeah, but I was going for a freakishly athletic QB, so Cunningham a little more than Rodgers.

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

KC is the 99 Rams

I'm sure Reid will find a way to wreck it come playoff time

 

[luckiestman]

Andy Dalton is so good this year

 

[heavyde050]

The Niners gave up like a 3rd and 15 to a screen pass because they have to drop so deep in coverage. Plus a ton of missed tackles and penalties. A better team probably holds them to seven to this point, but it's a matchup nightmare.

Then the Niners converted a similar third and long.
I love Foster, but that guy needs to learn to channel his rage. Just got a bad penalty.

 

[johnmd20]

Yeah, but I was going for a freakishly athletic QB, so Cunningham a little more than Rodgers.

Rodgers is pretty athletic. He can run tremendously well, and he's got a cannon, even when his body isn't in perfect position. That's Mahomes over the past three games. Randall is good too, but that's also 30 years ago.

 

[Marciano490]

Yeah, but I was going for a freakishly athletic QB, so Cunningham a little more than Rodgers.

Rodgers is a freakish athlete...every bit as much as Cunningham.

 

[heavyde050]

Wow the Chiefs are amazing. Let's hope Jimmy G can keep this close.

 

[soxhop411]

SF needs to cut down on the flags. It’s resulted in a bunch of KC points.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Wow the Chiefs are amazing. Let's hope Jimmy G can keep this close.

I hope so too but I don’t see any way.

 

[BaseballJones]

Wow the Chiefs are amazing. Let's hope Jimmy G can keep this close.

Given the Pats’ problems with that team, wouldnit be crazy to think that they could beat NE by three touchdowns?

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Rodgers is a freakish athlete...every bit as much as Cunningham.

If we're talking about arm strength, then Michael Vick is the comp I'd use for Mahomes. People forget how strong Vick's arm. He'd just flick the wrist and the ball would travel 70 yards. Accuracy was an issue though.

As for athleticism, Vick has him beat, but I think Rodgers is a very good comp in that respect.

 

[heavyde050]

SF needs to cut down on the flags. It’s resulted in a bunch of KC points.

All the flags (except the questionable DPI in the end zone) have been just the result of poor play.
KS has called some great plays...just need a turnover or two to get back in it.

 

[dcmissle]

So this GB Wash game is pretty entertaining.

 

[JCizzle]

Breida's ACL just went boom i think.

 

[heavyde050]

I really hope Breida is okay. He has been great this year.

 

[heavyde050]

Breida's ACL just went boom i think.

Yeah that was really bad. Just caught the replay.
Guess the 49ers will be making a call on Bell now.

 

[shawnrbu]

The powerhouse Jags offense has scored 3 points today. The Texans are losing 20 to 3 to the Giants.
