Week 1 NFL Game Thread

[MuzzyField]

Trevor Lawrence looks thoroughly unprepared for NFL football.

He is playing for the right team.

Jax hosting one of its few actual NFL level games this afternoon.

 

[Cellar-Door]

The Saints look better on offense than last year. Turns out having a QB who can throw it 15 yards in the air opens some things up.

 

[johnmd20]

Those last four plays by the Browns were a legitimate mess.

Brees has had a noodle arm for years, but last year was really bad. He couldn't push the ball down the field at all.

 

[johnmd20]

Saints are on Rodgers on almost every play. And it's working because he's terrible today.

 

[Kliq]

That red zone INT was very atypical by Rodgers. He's usually so careful with the ball and not making panicked, desperate throws.

Are you saying he’s usually better when he’s in....Jeopardy!?

 

[johnmd20]

And that's why the Giants suck. They had Teddy twice. But didn't get him. And then they had a chance to take down the TE. And they didn't. TD on a 4th and 1 that should have failed.

 

[johnmd20]

And then Joe Judge challenges the TD. But the thing is Joe, every TD is reviewed.

Costs the Giants a time out. That entire sequence was clown car stuff.

 

[johnmd20]

Now Rodgers just flung one up deep. To the Saints. He's a mess today.

 

[johnmd20]

Rodgers had 5 INTs last year.

He's got 2 in his last 3 throws.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

wrong thread

 

[johnmd20]

And now Winston throws a TD to one, Chris Hogan.

He played lacrosse you know.

 

[Time to Mo Vaughn]

Hogan and Amendola with TD receptions today.

 

[johnmd20]

That Daniel Jones fumble is just absolutely atrocious. The clown car just got clownier.

 

[mauf]

Daniel Jones Face will be fun for another year or so.

 

[johnmd20]

And Jameis throw an INT but gets bailed out by a laughable personal foul on the QB hit.

Ridiculous.

Ridiculous.

I think pick would’ve been overturned on replay (ball hit the ground), but I agree it’s a bad penalty call.

 

[luckiestman]

Mikey Francesa looking like a genius with his Saints over number

The defender did everything he's supposed to. Didn't hit the head or neck. Didn't put his weight on him on the way down.

FLAG!

 

[nolasoxfan]

The Saints are thrashing the Packers in all phases of the game.

 

[Vinho Tinto]

Never underestimate the Tank Mush. 16 more weeks to go.

 

[Remagellan]

FitzMagic is out for multiple weeks. I wonder if they sign Cam.

 

[johnmd20]

The Saints are thrashing the Packers in all phases of the game.

Just an absolute throttling.

 

[johnmd20]

Love in for Green Bay.

 

[Remagellan]

KC is ridiculous. It seems like the Browns have been dominatng them this whole game and they're back to within two.

 

[Remagellan]

Wow, and now KC's already in FG range.

 

[mauidano]

Love in for Green Bay.

Not gonna be a fun week for Rodgers with the media.

 

[johnmd20]

Jameis had 5 TDs with 148 yards passing. Lowest amount of yards with 5TDs since 1948.

Awesome game.

 

[terrynever]

And now Winston throws a TD to one, Chris Hogan.

He played lacrosse you know.

At Penn State!

 

[soxin6]

Mayfield is a moron

 

[heavyde050]

That pass by Baker was beyond awful.

 

[Ale Xander]

Ah, Brownies

 

[loshjott]

The Steelers fans do travel well, but one hidden big portion of that is a shitload of Steelers fans moved out of the Pittsburgh area in the 80s when the town was in an economic crunch due to manufacturing downturn. Google Pittsburgh diaspora. So a really rabid fanbase had a lot of people scatter across the country but hold to their roots, through new generations as well. So while they do travel really well, just about every major city has an embedded fanbase already there from the diaspora.

Similar to Green Bay and the Wisconsin/upper Midwest diaspora.

 

[axx]

So what do you think happens first, Aaron Rodgers to Jeopardy or Urban Meyer to USC?

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

The upper deck at SoFi looks absolutely dizzying.

 

[rodderick]

Dalton not helping his case here.

 

[DanoooME]

Who was Dalton throwing that to? Even it wasn't tipped, there wasn't a receiver near it.

 

[rodderick]

Loooool, nice defense, Chicago.

 

[shawnrbu]

Stafford has arrived.

 

[DJnVa]

I just don’t understand how he’s not touched.

 

[speedracer]

Oh so this is what Stafford looks like on a competent team

 

[rodderick]

You can't win without an actual passing offense. Screens and reverses aren't beating anybody. Drop back and throw.

 

[ifmanis5]

And that's why you don't play or pay Andy Dalton.

 

[shawnrbu]

Get Fields in the game NOW.

 

[mauf]

Perhaps Collinsworth is right, but damn, if the left tackle didn’t realize he needed to block the edge rusher, the Bears’ O-line has bigger problems than a lack of time playing together.

 

[speedracer]

4th down, Dalton stared down his #1 option well after it was gone

 

[JCizzle]

Awful decision by the NFL to have this as a primetime game. Maybe they don't care as much during week one since everyone will watch anyways.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Virginia Halas is going to out live us all.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Is "La Brea" supposed to be the opposite of "Under the Dome"?
