NFL: Week 3 Game Thread

[johnmd20]

But he's so DYNAMIC... so it's ok...

In three seasons in the NFL, Mahomes has made it to the AFC Championship Game, won the super bowl, and then lost in the super bowl. He's never not been in the final 4 of the league. Ever.

I have no idea why this board takes it so personally when QBs get complimented for being awesome.

 

[snowmanny]

The most Lions loss ever.

not quite

Let's go Brady.

 

[johnmd20]

This game is so Raiders.

 

[sodenj5]

Miami is great against anyone but Buffalo.

 

[Gash Prex]

Fields not having his best game, although the defense is in his face in seconds on every play.

the bears had 1 net passing yard and fields was sacked 9 times

 

[sodenj5]

I mean, he throws it behind his TE. If he's actually looking at him maybe he puts it on the money.

Yea, but retweets, man. A regular completion is lame.

 

[shawnrbu]

How do you get a more cupcake schedule than Giants, Jags and Jets to start?

Nobody is saying Mahomes isn't awesome, just pointing out that his decision making was hilariously poor and that decision making has likely been influenced by glamourizing his previous success with extreme risk plays.

Mahomes might win the MVP this year but that doesn't make that INT less entertaining.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Brady with two 3 and outs.

GAME OVER.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Whenever I watch the Bucs games (they're the only non-Pats games I watch), I'm always struck by how much bigger and stronger they look than the Pats (and the teams they're playing).

 

[Gash Prex]

watching other NFL games always makes me feel better about the Pats loss

 

[fiskful of dollars]

I think the Lions ALSO lost the famous Tom Dempsey 63 yarder way back when.

 

[Remagellan]

Can we just face the reality that NONE of the new QBs are special? They all might be good in time, but none of them are looking like they'll be putting up numbers like Burrow or even Daniel Jones did in their first year, never mind a Dan Marino. Fields looks like an extremely gifted guy who barely knows the first thing about setting protections. The Bears were right to start Dalton.

 

[johnmd20]

TB just dropped one of the easiest INTs you will ever see not caught.

 

[Remagellan]

Yes, they did. Since the crossbar was on the goal line back then, Dempsey kicked it from his own 37. Alex Karras said he and his teammates were laughing when the Saints were setting up to kick. Their laughter didn't last long.

 

[shawnrbu]

Stafford looks shaky early.

The Jets and Jags suck. Horrible situations for both.

Fields has only played today and he had about .03 seconds to pass on every play.

But, yes, they have looked really, really bad. But let's ease up on the Daniel Jones talk. He has like 6 career wins in 2+ seasons and he's turned it over more than anyone else in the NFL in that span.

 

[Dollar]

WTF was that Dolphins player doing? Idiotic.

Of course, a personal foul at their own 6-inch line is a 3-inch penalty.

Jones trucked a d lineman today and ran in a TD. It was awesome.

Dlineman put his hands to his face mask in shock/disappointment

As Alex Karras laughed at them for trying it

Giants are 0-3. They lost to. . . .Atlanta today.

At home.

 

[brandonchristensen]

First down for Brady.

Nice run by Fournette.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Brady looks sharp on this drive. Nice toss to Godwin.

 

[DJnVa]

Nice playcall Miami.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Brady throws a LOT harder than Mac.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Gronk with the droppppp. He had it!

 

[shawnrbu]

Aaron Donald has never sacked Brady. Jalen Ramsey has never intercepted Brady. That’s extraordinary.

I'm not taking about him over his career, but Jones did have a good first season: in 12 starts, 3027 yards, 61.9% comp 24 TDs 12 INTs

Just saw a commercial on the TB game for ANOTHER Jamie Lee Curtis Halloween movie

 

[Remagellan]

At home.

They're probably on the way to 0-10:

The Giants next few games:

at Saints
at Cowboys
Rams
Panthers
at Chiefs
Raiders
BYE
at Bucs
Eagles

They could easily be 0-10 going into that Eagles game.

Then they can draft a franchise QB with the first pick!

Oh, wait...

 

[Cellar-Door]

My only takeaway on Fields' first start is that the Bears should fire Nagy tomorrow. He's a terrible coach and he did nothing to tailor an offense to Fields, it was the same offense they ran with Dalton. BAsically no option plays or designed QB runs. You have an elite rushing QB, and you don't use him at all.

They might be the Panthers at home. Seems like the sort of road game that could see Carolina slip up

 

[Gash Prex]

Brady throws a LOT harder than Mac.

I don’t think that’s true - the difference is Tom has a clean pocket and is stepping into them.

Fields is totally unprepared to play and Nagy just no clue - therefore, 1 net passing yard

 

[Remagellan]

If they don't the storyline in the NY media will be about how the Maras cheaped out and cost the franchise a good coach in Rhule.

 

[luckiestman]

I don’t think that’s true

Its true

 

[Al Zarilla]

Sony sure doesn't look like a Rams running back à la the last five years.

 

[luckiestman]

Panthers have Rhule/Darnold/Robbie

I consider them the bizarro world Jets

The Maras are lucky they had Coughlin and Eli for two miracle SB wins. Because this team has been horrendous for the last 20 years, except for the SB wins.

 

[Remagellan]

Do these Raiders just see the Dolphins and think they're the guys from the 70s that used to steamroll them?

 

[johnmd20]

Lol.

You don't? Are you choosing not to use your eyes?

Right down to their record being the exact opposite of the Jets.

I don't know about "a LOT", but Brady definitely throws with more zip than Mac, both when stepping into the pocket and in messy pockets. Brady's ball has more zip in short routes, and his deep/intermediate throws get there quite a bit faster because he puts less air under them because of a better arm. He's not Mahomes, but he's combined increased strength work and great mechanics to get a pretty strong ball at all levels. Mac will need to do the same.

 

[djbayko]

I don’t think that’s true - the difference is Tom has a clean pocket and is stepping into them.

While I agree with you about Brady having team advantages which make it easier to perform, it has to be true to some extent. Tom has a 20 year head start on professional football strength and conditioning. It wouldn’t be a knock on Mac to acknowledge that.

Hello, Ben, tough game today; good luck next week.

Who retires first, Brady or Michael Myers?
