2023 Week 1 NFL Gamethread

[Jed Zeppelin]

Lol Toney

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Hutchinson got tackled by two guys!!

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Wasn’t a good throw by Mahomes but nothing is his fault.

 

[rodderick]

Chiefs offense looks terrible this second half.

 

[luckiestman]

Nice to hold to 3. Lions can still do this.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Remember when Skyy Moore and Kadarius Toney were some prime breakout talents.

 

[cornwalls@6]

Chiefs ragged on some of these throws/routes.

 

[rodderick]

Wasn’t a good throw by Mahomes but nothing is his fault.

Threw it low and right on Toney. Just lay it in front of him, he was at the mesh point, hard to track the ball there.

 

[OnWisc]

I hope the Pats O line is extended the same courtesy.

I’ll settle for them being extended the opportunity. At least would mean they managed to get a hand on someone.

 

[Ale Xander]

Every time I watch Olympic handball I can't understand why it's not a huge sport in America. It's basically soccer in which the players use their hands. Which was the gripe about soccer for years here.

The gripe with soccer wasn’t that it was lack of scoring (which also handball doesn’t have a problem with)
I agree

 

[lars10]

Missed hold on KC line, all day.

Either that or the false start on every snap.

 

[Garshaparra]

Missed hold on KC line, all day.

On 54? Yeah, that one was blatant, with 54 hollering at the umpire after.

 

[McBride11]

Lol he kicked him

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Sweet kick

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Can I bet on DPI not being called on KC on this Lions drive?

 

[Average Game James]

It would kinda be a fun rule tweak if putting the ball through the uprights on the kickoff put the ball on the 20 instead of the 25...

 

[luckiestman]

32 has some pop

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

The outside passes have been disastrous for Detroit.

 

[McBride11]

Lmao

 

[lars10]

The gripe with soccer wasn’t that it was lack of scoring (which also handball doesn’t have a problem with)
I agree

Perhaps it's because we have lacrosse? or basketball? I think Americans would get frustrated with not being able to step into the area around the goal on offense.

 

[OnWisc]

Someone alert Goodell. Collinsworth is on the verge of becoming self aware.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

And Collinsworth knows from embarrassing.

 

[Remagellan]

I would have run there.

 

[pappymojo]

Goff seems like the weak link in the Lions team building.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Oof that was a gnarly hit

 

[luckiestman]

Goff seems like the weak link in the Lions team building.

very mediocre

 

[Remagellan]

This is THE test for the Lions D.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Will never understand a designed rollout pass with a slow pocket passer. Telegraphs the play and if you haven’t fooled the D the whole play is FUBAR from the jump.

 

[rodderick]

Lions town

 

[Dollar]

Hey, he did just what Kelce does. #gronkwasbetter

What he said.

 

[8slim]

So fun watching Kelce get the JJ Watt Memorial Sideline Guy treatment.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Clyde Edwards-Eclair is slow af.

 

[McBride11]

Uh oh Branch, hopefully a cramp.

 

[Ale Xander]

Clyde Edwards-Eclair is slow af.

Too many eclairs

 

[8slim]

Is there a single decent rules commentator on TV?

 

[Kliq]

Ref basically says KC playing with a different set of rules.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Taylor has committed 47 uncalled penalties

 

[McBride11]

Sooo illegal formation and a false start. Got it.

Has to be real bad if even the on air ref is calling it out.

 

[cshea]

Even McCauley is calling this out

 

[Average Game James]

Is there a single decent rules commentator on TV?

This may be one of the few times I've heard a TV rules analyst basically say the refs on the field are wrong, so there's that...

 

[CFB_Rules]

Is there a single decent rules commentator on TV?

What do you want them to say?

 

[Marciano490]

Lol at CC blaming the Lions for the Chiefs continuing to cheat.

 

[luckiestman]

Terry is the best former official that is ever on tv

 

[CFB_Rules]

This may be one of the few times I've heard a TV rules analyst basically say the refs on the field are wrong, so there's that...

The NFL forced Terry McAulay off Twitter because they felt he was too critical

 

[luckiestman]

Terry rarely holds back.

 

[Freddy Linn]

Colllinsworth is terrible there.

 

[Garshaparra]

I expect the NFL will make this a "point of emphasis"...after tonight. Gotta let the champs win at home

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

When you have to spend half the broadcast explaining why false start isn’t false start, just admit it’s a false start and be fucking done with it. Nobody is fooled by this.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

The NFL forced Terry McAulay off Twitter because they felt he was too critical

99 percent of the time it is Steratore or someone of his ilk saying shit like ‘clearly the official on the field saw it the other way’ when asked for their opinion, so give me this kind of take.

 

[cornwalls@6]

Lol at CC blaming the Lions for the Chiefs continuing to cheat.

Yeah, it was ridiculous comment to make without calling out Taylor. But their staff should be on that shit.
