Week #1 NFL game thread

[LondonSox]

I'm still sad Kelly didn't get Mariota. I mean I like the Eagles this year but this kid is going to be good.

 

[McBride11]

Sooo Melvin Gordon looks pretty darn good.

But arm / elbow down on that great run it seems.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Practically speaking, Belichick just beat Carroll again by making it impossible for him to do anything but hand off to Lynch there

 
 
So true!

 

[( . ) ( . ) and (_!_)]

Gordon's forearm was down

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Down by contact?  Gordon's elbow never touched the ground. 

 

[Freddy Linn]

Whomever is doing color on OAK-CIN cannot say Bengals.  He says Bangles.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Winston's first pass.  Pick six. 

 

[( . ) ( . ) and (_!_)]

Clearly should have drafted Mariota!

 

[snowmanny]

Winston looks good so far

 

[Dollar]

Whomever is doing color on OAK-CIN cannot say Bengals.  He says Bangles.

I'd love to hear him call a Bangles-Jagwires game.

 

[shawnrbu]

Winston's first pass.  Pick six. 

 
Is he shaving points again?

 

[DukeSox]

Espn headline right now (for real, on website homepage):

The Seahawks offense couldn't get the yard it needed in overtime, so the defending champs lose the opener on the road to the Rams.

 

[Freddy Linn]

Winston pick six. 

 

[Ed Hillel]

Kam C poppin mad wood.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Really nice route concept against the zone by Denver.

 

[cshea]

Shut the fuck up and snap the ball, Peyton.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Shut the fuck up and snap the ball, Peyton.

 
 
Mike Hargrove was Manning's favorite baseball player.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Manning throwing on the move to his left is not ideal.  Can't wait to see Kubiak fight Manning's weaknesses all year long.

 

[dcmissle]

The old Manning completes his last two incompletions

 

[shawnrbu]

Would have been good from 67.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Jameis is throwing passes he would have gotten away with against Syracuse, Wake Forest, or BC.  Not in this league, pal.

Not saying you're crazy but was there an "NFC" in there? That one threw me earlier.

There wasn't.  I have a screen clip.

No, I copy/pasted the text. It was still there a few min ago

Edit: they have now added NFC

Russell Wilson ‏@DangeRussWilson  Sep 12
1-0. #GoHawks

 

[shawnrbu]

Nantz in his quiet voice.  Oh god.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Line judge hurt from hitting the ground or from taking a shove to the back of the neck?

 

[Harry Hooper]

Too bad the NFL lacks the $$$ for an alternate official.

 

[ipol]

So, fucking Jets fan trolls?

 

[Daubach for HOF]

Mike Carey may be drunk... difficult to listen to him describe how the line judge switches are going to work.

Pete Carroll said that wasn't an onside kick, just miss-hit. #Seahawks

 

[ipol]

Chargers d looks about the same.

What?  He's lost it.

Really?

That seems unlikely.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

That has to be an NFL record.  Two field goals over 55 yards (56 and 57) by McManus in one quarter.

Consider the source. Out of his mind. #truther

 

[jercra]

People think Miller will be DPOY over Watt?

Denver fans think he'll set the sacks record and it won't be close. They also think the team will get between 70 and 80 sacks overall.

 

[eddiew112]

Flacco is getting lit up

Is this a "try and keep 'em guessing" gambit, or did he mean something like the ball was supposed to be kicked over the front lines of the receiving team?

 

[ifmanis5]

Can't tell if the Broncos have a great pass rush or if the Ravens OL is awful.

 

[Harry Hooper]

It was NOT a horsecollar tackle!

 

[Jettisoned]

Can't tell if the Broncos have a great pass rush or if the Ravens OL is awful.

 
Probably both.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Losing Monroe is a blow, but that's a good OL.

Love me some Danny Woodhead

 

[soxhop411]

I will always miss Woodhead

ravens have a highly regarded OL

 

[Brand Name]

That has to be an NFL record.  Two field goals over 55 yards (56 and 57) by McManus in one quarter. 

Nope, Neil Rackers twice for the Cardinals in the 2nd quarter, both at 55: http://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200410240crd.htm

Of course, it's 10/24/04, Schilling's Game 2 WS start, becoming only 5th player to ever win a WS game with a team from both leagues.

 

[thehitcat]

But without their Left Tackle since the first drive.  You lose your best pass protector and it will affect your ability to block the rush.  Also Denver's D-line is excellent.
