2018 NFL Game Thread - Week 1

[Mystic Merlin]

Jon Gruden might flee to Canada.

Still isn’t clear why they showed zero willingness to keep Mack. He’s as easy of a ‘pay him’ as there is given his position, performance, and age.

Maybe Seth Wickersham can sit in diners outside of Oakland and get the story, if he’s not too busy chronicling the twilight of th Pats’ dynasty.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

going to Chicago is going to be a rough, challenging but fun game for us this year

 

[dcmissle]

Scary thought: how good is Mack going to be when he actually gets a chance to practice and learn the defense?

If you have the cap space (e.g., QB on rookie deal), you make that trade. Period.

The arrogance of these NFL fuckers thinking they can come close to his level of production with two first rounders, most of which don’t figure to be near the top.

Draft after draft demonstrates they cannot.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Oh man that sucks for him and GB. Kiss their season goodbye.

Edit: or is that not a true report? I just checked into the game and heard he was hurt.

yeah it was a fake account.

 

[Boston Brawler]

Rodgers going to try to play this half it seems

 

[shoosh77]

Rodgers going to try to play this half it seems

Call me skeptical about this decision. I guess if it’s all shotgun or something. That d-line ain’t f’ing around.

 

[Red Averages]

He's not moving too well. Has to be a lot of quick passes expected

 

[Ed Hillel]

This is like watching that RGIII game.

 

[luckiestman]

Did they say who the player was in 1982 that did all the crazy shit Mack did in 1 half?

 

[Mystic Merlin]

If this score gets worse, I would sit Rodgers and get him a one way ticket to a precautionary MRI

 

[Ed Hillel]

The grounding rules are terrible.

 

[Ralphwiggum]

Did they say who the player was in 1982 that did all the crazy shit Mack did in 1 half?

I think they said he’s the first player who has done it, since they started tracking sacks in 1982.

 

[luckiestman]

I think they said he’s the first player who has done it, since they started tracking sacks in 1982.

That makes more sense

 

[Cellar-Door]

I think they said he’s the first player who has done it, since they started tracking sacks in 1982.

I think that's right, only 2 players in 1982 had a sack, and INT and a TD in a game, neither forced or recovered a fumble.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Amazing throw on a bum knee

 

[Mystic Merlin]

This ain’t over yet.

Game is gonna tighten for Trubisky:

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

How do you not snap the ball with the 12th man taking forever to get off the field?

 

[Red Averages]

Such a different team when Rodgers plays.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Trubisky refuses to throw the ball downfield

 

[luckiestman]

Great drive by da Bears with the game on the line

 

[Zedia]

Great run, great job staying in bounds.

Edit - oh, maybe not.

 

[Boston Brawler]

GB going to have a chance to win this

 

[luckiestman]

I wanted them to run twice there if needed

 

[Deathofthebambino]

If it were me, I'm going for it on fourth down there. If Rodgers gets them in field goal range, he's getting them in the end zone anyway, so a 3 point lead or a 6 point lead don't make any difference.

 

[luckiestman]

SNF is a great show

 

[shoosh77]

If I’m Chi it’s A gap blitz time

 

[heavyde050]

And Rodgers tries to throw the game ending pick 6 and dropped.
He is beyond lucky sometimes.

 

[pappymojo]

Nutsack punch

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Lolol

 

[shawnrbu]

Same ol Bears.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

So yeah, I'm playing against Aaron Rodgers this week. Things were looking pretty fucking awesome about an hour ago. LOL. Feel sick for the Bears if they don't pull this out.

 

[Boston Brawler]

What the fuck

 

[luckiestman]

Scored too fast

 

[ifmanis5]

Holeeeee sheeeee

 

[heavyde050]

Aaron Rodgers goes from losing the game with a high school level bad pass to Cobb taking a pass to the house.
Unbelievable.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Kyle Fuller is the goat of this one. How do you fucking drop that interception?

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

And Rodgers tries to throw the game ending pick 6 and dropped.
He is beyond lucky sometimes.

Yup.

 

[shawnrbu]

Why did the Bears throw out of shotgun on 3rd and 1 after Howard ran for 12 on 2nd and 13?

 

[shoosh77]

I love how when the WR makes cuts and outruns people 60+ yards the QB gets the credit.

 

[Zedia]

That is one shitty secondary.

 

[shawnrbu]

Take the touchback.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Like I said, that's why you go for it on fourth down you losers.

 

[heavyde050]

Kyle Fuller is the goat of this one. How do you fucking drop that interception?

I think it may be a league rule that a defensive player cannot intercept Rodgers.

 

[heavyde050]

Why did the Bears throw out of shotgun on 3rd and 1 after Howard ran for 12 on 2nd and 13?

Because they are the Bears?

 

[Oil Can Dan]

Kyle Fucking Fuller.

 

[Boston Brawler]

LOL

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Clay, you fucking moron. I hope Green Bay loses just because of that.

 

[heavyde050]

Dirty hit by Clay Matthews to extend the game.

 

[Zedia]

Clay, you fucking moron. I hope Green Bay loses just because of that.

Yep. So dumb.

 

[DJnVa]

Clay, you fucking moron. I hope Green Bay loses just because of that.

There are some extraordinarily dumb professional athletes.
