2018 NFL Game Thread - Week 3

When this Pats run is done, so am I.

Preposterous roughing call on Clay Matthews in Washington. Blandino said it was BS. Riveron called in to stay the penalty was called because Clay put his body weight on Alex Smith when tackling him.

No helmet to helmet. No driving into the turf. Just landing on a guy you tackle is enough.

Goodbye.

Been switching around between games a lot, but probably stick with this one from now on.

It has been a fun game (especially in the 2nd half and if you don't care about defense).

 

[heavyde050]

Yeah that Clay Matthews' penalty was an awful call.

This body weight rule is new this year. And it won’t last the year I bet.

[luckiestman]

Don’t agree. The call was correct, the rule is absurd.

 

[dcmissle]

This is what happens when lawyers and PR types are in charge.

NFL thinks it can sell anything. It cannot. I have not watched more than 5 minutes total of Arena Football in my life.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Bonkers trick play in Miami for a dolphin TD.

Double reverse pass by the WR

 

[Marciano490]

That’s three in a row for Matthews right? The first two being game changers.

I like the Raiders and Carr but hate Gruden, so I’m a little conflicted by the early season returns for Oakland.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Jags losing 9-6 to Tennessee with 3 minutes to go and the ball. Couldn't pick up a 3rd and short and they are punting with 2:45 to g.

 

[LesterFan]

Jags losing 9-6 to Tennessee with 3 minutes to go and the ball.

Big letdown game after their superbowl.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Big letdown game after their superbowl.

At home no less.

 

[johnmd20]

Deshaun Watson staring down a 3-6 record as an NFL starter.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Raiders can’t hold a second half lead. Plenty of time to go though,

 

[bert140]

It is a question, what is Clay Matthews supposed to do? You have to finish the tackle because these QBs can get away. Unless you want him to bend the laws of physics while trying to sack a QB?

We are talking about a league that denies the existence of the ideal gas law. I feel confident stating their understanding of the laws of physics is probably lacking.

 

[Ale Xander]

Texans losing to Giants by 2 possessions at home, too

 

[Ale Xander]

Raiders can’t hold a second half lead. Plenty of time to go though,

They could a certain pass-rushing all-pro edge right about now.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Blocked Keenum in the back lolol

 

[RedOctober3829]

Mariota with a huge QB keeper for the 1st down!!!!

 

[soxhop411]

The saints have absolutely no defense.

 

[Ale Xander]

New Orleans ain't have a secondary

 

[Al Zarilla]

I’ll never get used to Jordy Nelson in silver and black.

 

[speedracer]

We are talking about a league that denies the existence of the ideal gas law. I feel confident stating their understanding of the laws of physics is probably lacking.

Doubt it'd happen, but I'd like to see Clay Matthews experiment with trying to strip the ball all the time instead of bringing the QB down and see what the results are.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Raiders have a nice drive going to try to take the lead in Miami.

 

[Ale Xander]

Atlanta not very good at running the ball with a 4th quarter lead

 

[Ale Xander]

Falcons up 2 with FG

 

[bigq]

The saints have absolutely no defense.

And there is nothing special about their special teams.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Derek Carr you fool.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

$100 million for an 0-3 start.

 

[Ale Xander]

Carr gets hit and underthrows the ball, Dolphins touchback

 

[Seels]

That DPI against the Eagles looked pretty shitty.

 

[Ale Xander]

Oh man, never mind about the aints

 

[soxhop411]

At this point if they are going to continue the body weight rule, just put fucking flags on the QB

 

[axx]

Haha, high-fiving into the endzone

 

[RedOctober3829]

Jaguars getting booed off their own field losing 9-6 to the Titans. That's a sign of a clearly immature team.

 

[heavyde050]

Don’t agree. The call was correct, the rule is absurd.

Yeah you are right. My complaint is more with the rule.

 

[Ale Xander]

Nice job, Chucky.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Derek Carr is a fuckin moron. He can have the odd good game here or there but he looks really bad way too often to be your guy. Fade to a covered guy on 1st and 10 needing a TD. So dumb.

 

[HurstSoGood]

So Jacksonville drops 31 on us last week and can only muster 6 points vs Tennessee this week.

So our defense is, once again, historically bad?

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Jags losing is certainly a good thing for the Pats. Thanks Jags. That won't come back to bite you or anything.

 

[speedracer]

Bort finishes 20-33-158. lol Jags, lol Pats.

 

[eddiew112]

Look around the league. You can count the good defenses on one hand.

 

[soxhop411]

If gruden wasn’t being paid an Insane amount of money he would be on borrowed time. He is not a good coach.

 

[RedOctober3829]

So Jacksonville drops 31 on us last week and can only muster 6 points vs Tennessee this week.

So our defense is, once again, historically bad?

No. They put everything they had into beating the Patriots and thought they were great. They clearly did not focus on the Titans and thought they could come in and win easily. Immaturity at it's finest.

 

[heavyde050]

Jimmy really needs to work on pocket awareness.

 

[Zedia]

Think Jimmy just got Mo Lewis’d.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

They were historically bad through 4 games last year too. Then they were the best defense in football for the last 12. They'll figure it out. They always do. Injuries to Flowers, Rowe and Chung tonight is not a good thing though, so I don't expect them to win a low scoring affair, if they win at all.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Jimmy G with a dumb ass lowering his shoulder and is hurt

 

[heavyde050]

WTF is Jimmy doing....lowering his shoulder into a defender.

Just wow.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Jimmy, just get out of bounds bud.
