NFL Week 5 Game Thread

[Remagellan]

The Niners-Cardinals game was the second game in which a kicker injured during a return likely cost a team a game. (Giants-Commanders was the earlier one.) The NFL should allow the team kicking off to have 12 players on the field at the kickoff (one next to the kicker), and have the kicker run off the field after they kick the ball. There is no reason to risk an injury to a specialist by asking them to do something that is outside their normal responsibilities. This is the football equivalent of risking pitchers running the bases.

The NFL wants its kickoff returns, fine. But if you're going to discourage kickers kicking the ball through the end zone on kickoffs, protect them.

The old Zach Wilson

 

[rodderick]

Way too many dumbass INTs from QBs trying to throw the ball away this year.

 

[Cellar-Door]

not easy to miss a guy as fast as Shaheed

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Defenders bite so often on those show fakes by Mahomes.

EDIT - And can’t let it go unnoticed that Clark Hunt is a fraud, made a big show of cutting Hunt like 6 years ago….and there he is!

 

[Cellar-Door]

Joe Buck gonna get a letter from NFL PR for that

 

[rodderick]

I think that's the most open I've ever seen anyone in a professional game.

 

[shawnrbu]

BB ripping Carr.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Aww, what a touching story about Kareem.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Over

 

[E5 Yaz]

Taylor doesn't look happy

 

[shawnrbu]

“Arrowhead isn’t as bad as when you guys pumped in music at the RCA Dome.”

 

[MikeStanley728]

BB trolling Peyton about piped in crowd noise at the RCA Dome

 

[E5 Yaz]

Do the Saints have any pass routes under 25 yards downfield?

 

[Dollar]

Good thing I can watch a giant Peyton Manning review a play call sheet from a decade ago while trying to watch a tiny little live football game in the corner of the screen.

 

[kartvelo]

Hot knife, butter

 

[kartvelo]

Good thing a handful of jersey doesn't count as a hold.

 

[shoosh77]

 

[rodderick]

360 no scope'd it.

 

[ifmanis5]

If he made that...

 

[Dollar]

I think he would have easily thrown a TD if he hadn't done that 360. It was kinda superfluous and he threw as if he were dizzy after.

 

[rodderick]

Yeah, he ended up rushing an easy throw.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

The NFL is a farce.

 

[luckiestman]

Carr told somebody

 

[Cellar-Door]

Shaheed one of the best bargains in the league

 

[patinorange]

This is a different sport than the one the Pats and Miami played yesterday.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Geha Field?

 

[Cellar-Door]

Suamataia got destroyed first snap after the injury

 

[kartvelo]

DB took a shitty angle there

 

[Cellar-Door]

DB took a shitty angle there

on Worthy? Yeah, he didn't realize how fast he accelerates.
Real mistake was Jordan, he should have blown Worthy up when he faked the block

 

[kartvelo]

On mahomes a while ago when he ran to the sideline for a first.

 

[shawnrbu]

Chiefs had 2nd and 34 and the Saints couldn’t force a punt.

 

[luckiestman]

Saints need a geometry class in the worst way.

 

[rodderick]

Why would you even blitz there?

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Worthy ain’t a technician

 

[Remagellan]

The Chiefs kill teams that play dumb.

 

[kartvelo]

Saints need a geometry class in the worst way.

QFT

Does anyone find Aikman's creepy old man laugh after every one of his unfunny comments (and after almost every comment in general) to be incredibly annoying?

 

[Jace II]

More often than not Mahomes seems really risk averse. As soon as his first 2 reads aren't there his eye level falls and he starts ambling towards the sidelines so he can throw it away without an intentional grounding, which he has down to a science

Does anyone find Aikman's creepy old man laugh after every one of his unfunny comments (and after almost every comment in general) to be incredibly annoying?

Has anyone being the first to laugh at their own joke, non-ironically, ever worked in any context? I can't think of any situations.

 

[kartvelo]

Don't bother covering the kc tight ends

 

[Remagellan]

Can't say they get every flag.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Can't say they get every flag.

You might want to, but apparently you can't

 

[luckiestman]

shaheed stopped, c’mon man

 

[Remagellan]

shaheed stopped, c’mon man

I'm watching the Manningcast, and few things annoy Peyton and Eli more than receivers who stop their routes.

I should put that on, I just don’t like how busy their screen is

 

[Remagellan]

That is the negative, plus Buck and Aikman are actually pretty good. But I love when Belichick is on, although he only works the first half.

 

[luckiestman]

What a ridiculous call

 

[Remagellan]

Can't complain about that one.

 

[kartvelo]

Not catchable

 

[AB in DC]

What a ridiculous call

There was like 1/10 the contact as on the no-call a few minutes ago.
