2020 NFL: Wk.3 Game Thread

Yeah he was lined up right over the O-lineman who moved after the flinch. It was the exact same play we discussed last year (or the year before...can't remember) where they called that a NZ infraction on the Pats. Same position. Defensive right end lined up right over the O-lineman. Same flinch. Same OL movement.
Seemed like at best he was 2-3 inches short of the 49, but the spot had most of the ball over the 49.
I thought he was a full yard short at full speed and none of the replays seemed to disagree with me.
It makes me happy when Hill costs the Saints. And I like the Saints, but his usage isn’t half as cute as they think it is.
No or minimal crowd noise is really turning the NFL into arena league, huh? These scores seem high
Guy on the right end for the Saints is daring the officials to throw the flag for lined up in the neutral zone.
Might be greedy, but I think I would rather have the down and burn the 2 minute warning on this play if I am the Pack.
Was it just me or did the 1st DPI happen after an offsides then the O player jumped before ball was snapped. Thought it could have been whistled dead as an encroachment rather than play on.
Are the Saints and Drew Brees good? Kamara is a god but he might be hiding just how far Brees has fallen off.
I guess Tampa Bay's road to the division title this year actually is going to be pretty easy after all.
Brees put up good numbers tonight. No shame in losing a shootout to Rodgers.
Take out a 52 yard TD to AK that was caught 4 yards behind the line of scrimmage and the 55 yards on the last gasp drive and he has 23/28 for 181 if my subtraction is correct.
Not sure I would call those good #'s
Wilson has been absolutely ridiculous so far this year. Through three games:
79-103 (76.7%), 925 yds, 14 td, 1 int, 139.0 rating
79-103 (76.7%), 925 yds, 14 td, 1 int, 139.0 rating
Dude is the best player in football right now, with apologies to the usual suspects. His combination of efficiency, explosive plays, and lack of mistakes is gonna put them in every single game they play, despite not having a good defense. I don’t see them getting through a couple of playoff games unless the defense materially improves, but they’re a dangerous team with that QB.
Yeah and I have DK Metcalf on my fantasy team. Literally handed away a TD. Great player, reminds me a lot of a young Josh Gordon. But my goodness that one play was terrible.
Well, I called it at the time, and now folks are calling for Trysten Hill's head:

If I'm not mistaken, Hill was also the guy who went helmet to helmet on Wilson later in the game, on the first attempt at the 2 point conversion. The ensuing one was converted following the penalty.
Needless to say, if that TD happens, Russ might have ended up with only 4 TDs, not 5. You never know how the rest of the game would have played out if Seattle had 7 more points than they did.
The guy did a alligator roll, while holding his foot in a vise. It was so unbelievably dirty and dangerous, that guy should be suspended for the year. There was nothing inadvertent about it and football is dangerous enough as it is. A message should be sent.
It won't.
And Carson is a RB who will be a FA this offseason. If Hill's alligator roll had hurt Carson worse, that might have been it for a career or would have at least killed Carson's earning potential.
If he had the right leverage, he could have snapped his ankle, tibia, or fibia with that BS. Or dislocated his hip. I just rewatched the play on Twitter. I am in awe of the brazen way he did that. Truly dirty.
I just saw it now. It’s insanely brazen. As was the way he head butted Wilson later. That didn’t even look like normal headhunting covered up by momentum. The dude tried to throw a van Damme type headbutt at the QB.
Watching this game closely. While Cam isn't as fast as Lamar, the Pats' offense next week vs. KC should look something like Baltimore's tonight. Very curious to see how KC fares. So far, not so great as Baltimore is chewing them up on the ground.
What's the Pats rooting interest in this game? Hope for a KC win so they're feeling cocky and overconfident going into next week?
That was like the Ravens were a team flown in from Australia that had never seen any film of the Chiefs offense.
I can't decide, but I think I hate the Ravens more so go Chiefs? But that requires rooting for Tyreek Hill which is a vomit inducing/
