2023 Week 1 NFL Gamethread

[luckiestman]

Bryce Young is so competent. Bears should have traded Fields and drafted him.

 

[bankshot1]

Is that midfield logo in Cleveland new this year? Also, it’s shitty.

That logo goes back to at least the late 50s.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Bryce has had some really nice moments early. Couple nice 3rd down conversions with pinpoint passes, calm in the pocket.

Addison is going to put up some numbers on plays exactly like that TD—3 guys focus on Jet and Addison just runs by.

 

[rodderick]

Young QBs looking reasonably good early.

 

[Remagellan]

It's Brownie the elf.

 

[JOBU]

That logo goes back to at least the late 50s.

Yeah I don’t mind it. It’s better than a mascot-less orange helmet.

 

[Remagellan]

Young QBs looking reasonably good early.

Shockingly true.

 

[mr_smith02]

Tomlin with a stupid challenge.

 

[Dollar]

I think you have to give Purdy possession there.

edit: huh, the ruling on the field was he was down before the fumble, which certainly isn't true.

 

[Reverend]

Purdy with, if it stands, could be most complicated fumble recovery ever.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Horrendous challenge by Tomlin. Oof.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Don't let the players throw challenge flags for you.

 

[johnmd20]

That challenge was historically bad.

 

[timelysarcasm]

Pickett looks like trash

He and the Steelers were getting slobbered by a lot of pundits - hilarious.

 

[johnmd20]

Cinncy on the Browns 37 just punted on 4th and 3.

Wait, what?

 

[Ale Xander]

Saints block Vrabels punt

With Gleason in the building

 

[Jim Ed Rice in HOF]

That logo goes back to at least the late 50s.

I knew the logo itself was ancient but don’t remember it being on the field.

 

[rodderick]

The consistently underwhelming Derek Carr.

 

[sodenj5]

Crazy how washed he looks. Just awful. Couldn't happen to a better guy.

What missing almost two years of football can do. I thought he had a chance with a full off-season to bounce back, but he’s just spraying balls everywhere.

 

[johnmd20]

I knew the logo itself was ancient but don’t remember it being on the field.

They did a fan vote and brought it back last year.

 

[Dollar]

Don't let the players throw challenge flags for you.

And I think Derek Carr just made the Saints throw a challenge flag. We'll see how it turns out...

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Hell of a throw/catch

 

[Gash Prex]

Simmons already in shambles

also watching Jackson it’s clear to me he will be hurt again this season by using his legs this much against the likes of ….Houston

 

[johnmd20]

The weather is atrocious. Watson looks much better than Burrow does right now.

 

[sodenj5]

Cinncy on the Browns 37 just punted on 4th and 3.

Wait, what?

Zac Taylor is not a good coach, he just has Joe Burrow.

 

[Remagellan]

Zay Jones with what might be a spectacular TD catch.

 

[Vandalman]

What a catch in Jags game.

 

[rodderick]

Lawrence already has about 3 or 4 ridiculous throws in this game.

 

[Marciano490]

What missing almost two years of football can do. I thought he had a chance with a full off-season to bounce back, but he’s just spraying balls everywhere.

I love how the announcers won’t say what he did. Just violated nfl rules and missed some games. Nothing to see here.

 

[pdaj]

Watson looks like ass. Good.

It turns out that everyone knowing that you're a fraud/POS is psychologically damaging. I have zero sympathy.

AFC NORTH looks like shit here in week 1. They’ll figure it out.

I tend to think you're right, but it's possible this division ends up like last year's AFC West, which everyone had pegged as being a monster.

Pickett looks like trash

Fred Warner dropped what should have been his 2nd pick. He's had many, many misses. 9 total yards passing at this point.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

49ers defense looks in mid season form with speed and tackling.

 

[Remagellan]

I love how the announcers won’t say what he did. Just violated nfl rules and missed some games. Nothing to see here.

Whatever else might be said about baseball, if you screw up in that sport, you lose your career--at least in this country.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Torbert's crew going against convention and blow the whistle on an ambiguous fumble by Carr. Costs TN 6 pts.

 

[Remagellan]

49ers defense looks in mid season form with speed and tackling.

The Red Zone guy mentioned they are on the "10 am clock" because of the time zone difference between their home city. So, they literally rolled out of bed ready to dominate.

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Horrible call

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

A 9 point swing on refball

 

[rodderick]

Carr pushed the ball forward with an empty hand, I don't know how it could be any clearer.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Incomplete? Torbert is a disaster.

 

[Ale Xander]

A 9 point swing on refball

Change of possession so not really 9 point

 

[barclay]

Niners 204 yards; steelers 1. Yikes
edit: and now a bit more

 

[johnmd20]

Baker looks truly awful. DeShaun shaky af.

Josh Dobbs is the best former or current Cleveland QB in the NFL.

 

[rodderick]

Watson bouncing more passes than McNabb.

 

[Remagellan]

Niners 203 yards; steelers 1. Yikes

Once upon a time, the Steelers D used to do that to teams.

The Niners look like they're on another level than every other team playing right now.

 

[Ale Xander]

Kellen Mond hasn’t screwed up today

 

[Ale Xander]

Lattimore picks off Tannerthrill

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Weak roughing hte passer against Baltimore

 

[Al Zarilla]

Purdy is Joe Montana lite.

 

[JohnnyK]

Change of possession so not really 9 point

FG Saints instead of TD Titans = 9 pts

 

[luckiestman]

Colts look pretty good

 

[snowmanny]

But, Tomlin is a genius...this has really gotten tired


And, how did that team fair?

Well they started out well, which was the topic.

Anyway, so far the Niners look like they have a good offense. And they are the only ones.
