Week 5 Game Thread

[Kliq]

As someone who took Fournette number one in a very deep, 14-team keeper league, watching a 245lb man pull away from the Pittsburgh secondary for a 90yd FU TD made me very excited. I loved him at LSU but was afraid that he was going into purgatory in Jacksonville, but he looks like the real deal.

 

[54thMA]

We would blow the pick. This is for the best

I hope they do finish 8-8, 9-7 so that Bowles keeps his job; he shouldn't get fired after the season regardless, he's not the problem.

 

[johnmd20]

Odell has a broken fibula, it is suspected. MRI to follow.

The Giants are obviously done, maybe it's better off for Odell. The Giants might be done for a while, actually. McAdoo doesn't know what he's doing.

Jacksonville isn’t purgatory anymore. They looked bad against the Jets (after playing in London the week before), but otherwise they’ve looked like a quality team all season.

Could be an intriguing offseason for them. If they bottom out and get a top-5 pick, do they draft a QB and move on from Eli after 2018? Is OBJ a building block or a trade chip? Who coaches the team next year? Lots of questions.

 

[DanoooME]

WHAT??? A Seahawks first half TD? Consider me stunned.

Trade chip. But he might not generate that much interest due to injury concerns(he's hurt a lot) and the fact that he wants around 30 million a year.

 

[DanoooME]

Broken ankle for Odell. See you in 2018.

 

[Brand Name]

Last time a GB kicker has missed two extra points, got to go back to 1988, with Curtis Burrow, 12/18/88 at Phoenix, who went 2/4.

I guess Sam Darnold is headed for New York after all...

 

[DanoooME]

Nice of Legatron to blow a gimme.

Legatron is a great name. I like that a lot.

 

[DanoooME]

Sheldon Richardson with a pick! Key play right there.

Before Julio Jones last year, when was the last time a transcendent WR (top 2-3 in the league) played in the Super Bowl? Maybe I’m missing someone, but I think you have to go back to Larry Fitzgerald in 2009.

 

[shawnrbu]

Demaryius Thomas was 2nd team All Pro in 2013.

Larry Fitzgerald?

Edit: yeah didn't read the whole thing. Oops

 

[mauf]

Demaryius Thomas was 2nd team All Pro in 2013.

I decided he wasn’t on that level, but that’s obviously a subjective judgment.

 

[johnmd20]

Demaryius Thomas was 2nd team All Pro in 2013.

He's not transcendent like Jones, AJ Green, or Odell.

Probably Fitz in 2009, as noted, and then Moss in 2007.

 

[McBride11]

Best throw he has ever seen? Okay Troy

 

[johnmd20]

And Weddle just whaled a defensiveless Oakland WR with the crown of the helmet. No flag.

 

[GeorgeCostanza]

Player safety. Mhmm.

 

[johnmd20]

Pick six for GB. That was colossal.

 

[Philip Jeff Frye]

That's a taunting penalty?

 

[Mystic Merlin]

You're gonna miss some throws if you throw off your back foot regularly

 

[The Needler]

Why go for two there? If the Boys score a TD now, a GB FG will only tie, where it could win if they had gone for 1.

 

[Freddy Linn]

Whitworth has been getting a ton of praise for the Rams/Goff renaissance, but he just got smoked by Frank Clark to possibly ice the game for the Hawks.

 

[Greg29fan]

That's a taunting penalty?

He threw the ball at Prescott - that's a flag 100 times out of 100

Good question, hedging against Bailey missing an extra point seems foolish

 

[johnmd20]

That's a taunting penalty?

He flipped that ball at Dak. It's always a penalty.

 

[Philip Jeff Frye]

Seemed like he tossed it away and Prescott happened to be there. It's not like he wound up and aimed it at him.

 

[DanoooME]

Cowboys just grinding it out against the Packers

 

[johnmd20]

Seemed like he tossed it away and Prescott happened to be there. It's not like he wound up and aimed it at him.

It didn't look like he meant to do it, I agree but I don't think it matters. It hit Dak. That is always a penalty.

 

[DanoooME]

Fuck me, that was a barnburner at the end.

 

[cshea]

Who the hell knows what they’ll call here.

 

[Stitch01]

This isn't the goal line can you reach and pull back?

 

[johnmd20]

First down is my guess.

 

[bankshot1]

drone cam

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Game-winning TD right through the hands of a wide open Kupp. Hawks with another less than impressive win.

 

[McBride11]

Damn Zeke. impressive awareness.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

That wasnt a first, he pulled the ball back, you don't get credit for the extension unless you're downed before you pulled thd ball back or it's in the end zone.

This call makes no sense.

 

[johnmd20]

This isn't the goal line can you reach and pull back?

Yes, forward progress but if you drop the ball after you reach out, it's a fumble if the goalline isn't involved.

 

[The Needler]

This isn't the goal line can you reach and pull back?

Yeah, that seems wrong. It's where he went down or the whistle.

 

[DanoooME]

Game-winning TD right through the hands of a wide open Kupp. Hawks with another less than impressive win.

Just win, baby.

 

[cshea]

Whistle blew before he pulled it back?

 

[Philip Jeff Frye]

Is it forward progress if you move the ball backwards yourself? It's not like the Green Bay defense pushed the ball backwards.

 

[cshea]

Too much time

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Whistle blew before he pulled it back?

Would've been cool if the 87 cameras and mics FOX has couldve looked at it

 

[Dan Murfman]

Seriously why?

[BigSoxFan]

Dak is good. Don’t think Rodgers does it this time.
