Week 2 NFL Game Thread

[Deathofthebambino]

The bill for all the good luck the Vikes had last year has now come due.

That;s pretty good too

 

[cornwalls@6]

Eagles are awake now. Vikes are about to get boat raced.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Only thing missing from this game is a Cousins INT

 

[Remagellan]

This is making me feel better about the Pats’ offense.

Edit: and now the defense as well.

The Eagles struggles in the first half had me worried that our D might be overrated, but the Pats D never let them get on track, and the Pats O looked much better that the Vikes have this far, and our weapons are nowhere near theirs.

 

[shawnrbu]

We might have found a coach Herbie likes more than Brent Venables..

 

[shawnrbu]

The refs called an Eagle for holding. Is that allowed?

 

[luckiestman]

Well, this loss isn’t on Kirk Kirk

 

[JOBU]

That guy was open

 

[nattysez]

The Eagles' love of letting teams back into the game in the late going continues unabated.

 

[shawnrbu]

It’s been awhile since The Vet has seen a game this good.

 

[Sandwich Pick]

Did Al just say Osborn has 2 TD?

 

[luckiestman]

Eagles still probably going to be 2-0 after some pretty bad flootball. They got the running game going a little bit but are not close to where they were .

Their next games are @TB, WAS, @LAR, @NYJ, MIA, so it'll probably be a month+ before they play a non-ugly game.

They'll be at 200+ running yards after this drive.

 

[luckiestman]

Play of the game coming up

 

[Ale Xander]

Graphics/picture for me isn't that great. Certainly worse than most (any?) TV channels.

 

[shawnrbu]

Not going for 2 up 33-21?

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Why didn’t they go for two?

 

[Dollar]

Al is malfunctioning.

 

[Remagellan]

I do not understand that decision.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

‘There is provinciality in Boston when it comes to medicine.’

What the hell is he on about.

 

[Freddy Linn]

No doubt that Michaels plays golf with that doctor.

 

[Sandwich Pick]

Dumbass Barnett got away with one there

 

[shawnrbu]

When Al says “for the moment.”

 

[Ale Xander]

Please Vikings 35 Eagles 34, pretty please

 

[DanoooME]

How the hell did Cousins sneak that throw through triple coverage?

 

[BigSoxFan]

Philly’s pass defense leaving a lot to be desired these first 2 weeks

 

[bankshot1]

Fucking back door covers

 

[DanoooME]

How can JC Penney afford to sponsor anything, even a high school game?

 

[Ale Xander]

lame

 

[Dollar]

Anyone remember when onside kicks were fun?

 

[shawnrbu]

Fucking back door covers

Thanks for not going for 2, Nick.

 

[Ale Xander]

I see the Giants want to be embarrassed one more time on national tv.

 

[Sandwich Pick]

Um...the Eagles haven't won yet, guys.

 

[shawnrbu]

Can you intentionally flinch for a 10 second runoff?

 

[Ale Xander]

Can you intentionally flinch for a 10 second runoff?

If you're ahead, the rule should be to put 10 seconds back on the clock

 

[shawnrbu]

Awful punt down the middle. Guess they had the punt block on.

 

[Ale Xander]

No fair catch to save a couple seconds?

 

[shawnrbu]

Is Goedert playing Safety?

 

[azsoxpatsfan]

No fair catch to save a couple seconds?

It’s gotta be a way higher chance of returning a punt as opposed to a lateral play/Hail Mary. That was a dumb last play though, I get throw it up to JJ is a great strategy most of the time, mouth Kirk can’t throw it 80 yards

 

[BigSoxFan]

Mattison stinks. Minnesota feels like a good spot for Taylor.

 

[BaseballJones]

Minnesota can't run the ball at all. 41 rush yards vs. Tampa, 28 rush yards vs. Philly. Taylor indeed would be a great get for them.

 

[Oil Can Dan]

They should see if Dalvin Cook is available.

 

[johnmd20]

Minnesota can't run the ball at all. 41 rush yards vs. Tampa, 28 rush yards vs. Philly. Taylor indeed would be a great get for them.

Mattison has always been a poor runner. Vikes thinking he could replace Cook is as silly as the Pats paying guys like Juju and Agholor.

 

[j-man]

onside kicks should be a 4th and 15 from your 35 and u can only use it when down in a game

 

[j-man]

i also wouild get rid of kickoffs and punters and even the coin toss the away team always wins the toss while the home team always wins the ot toss all opening drives would start from the 25 yard line

 

[luckiestman]

I’m watching the Jets’ coaches weekly pressers as I always do and does anyone know what beat reporters do all fucking day. One guy asks Ulbrich if he can get any ideas from Dallas’s defense or something like that. Ulbrich worked for Dan Quinn in Atlanta for like 5 years or something. Ulbrich goes on to point this out but I would have been embarrassed to ask that. There’s actually many interesting questions to ask there, is Quinn scheming different than Atlanta, when you have a guy like Parsons in that system what changes, etc… instead they ask shit like “what’s it like going against Zach in practice?” What do they think Ulbrich is going to say. It’s so lazy.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Josh McDaniels is dialing it UP!

7-zip Raiders, early.

 

[johnmd20]

That pass by Lamar was an all time duck.

 

[rodderick]

Anthony Richardson looks really good. Loved him coming out, happy to see him have some success right away.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

A lot of 0-1 teams have tough games today, some perceived contender is going to start 0-2 and there will be panic.

(I'd be shocked if it was Buffalo, but...)
