Week 1 vs. Eagles: A New Beginning

[8slim]

This kid has to learn when to call for the fair catch before he gets himself killed.

If he dies, he dies. But he’s gonna fumble and that’s a bigger concern.

 

[Beomoose]

What's the taunting rule again?

Section 7.5 "the Eagles can do it."

 

[fiskful of dollars]

Maybe a FC next time? Lucky that was on the sideline.

 

[ifmanis5]

FYI all the rookies are wearing patches for their first NFL game.

 

[Average Game James]

We’re gonna try to win games 14-13 this year aren’t we.

Yes. And probably lose them 13-3.

 

[OnWisc]

Do the Pats have something against the fair-catch?

They don’t seem too high on catching in general.

 

[twibnotes]

Yeah. The “no weapons” argument is tired. There are *decent* receivers and running backs on this team. He shouldn’t need three AJ Browns to compete; that’s not realistic in the NFL.

There’s talent (despite that awful Juju drop after an equally awful throw).

Every single highly regarded qb in the league has better weapons than Mac. Every single one

(I think Mac sucks but they’ve supported him poorly)

 

[patinorange]

Jones is tough.

 

[Ed Hillel]

That would have been the first fair catch I've ever seen of a guy running backwards.

 

[Van Everyman]

Christ Marcus, use your head.

He did: to shield his body from the tackle.

 

[CFB_Rules]

After the hit on the punt return? Yes absolutely. He stared straight at him and woofed.

Aside from the non calls on the OL, they didn't call DPI, and now they didn't call taunting. Nice job refs.

They want stuff you can see on camera. Standing over him and flex or cross arms? Foul. Stand over him and call him a little bitch? Family-friendly entertainment!

 

[E5 Yaz]

At this point, even the Orioles are going to outscore the Patriots today

 

[Ale Xander]

Trade for Aidan O’Connell this week.

I’ll take Jerry O’Connell’s Frank Cushman at this point

 

[wilked]

They don’t seem to high on catching in general.

 

[Average Game James]

If he dies, he dies. But he’s gonna fumble and that’s a bigger concern.

Eh, he might still be their best offensive player

 

[snowmanny]

I’m all for a FC except their best shot at scoring is a Jones return.

 

[Ed Hillel]

RUN A PLAY ACTION

 

[GPO Man]

Every single highly regarded qb in the league has better weapons than Mac. Every single one

(I think Mac sucks but they’ve supported him poorly)

I would say Mac is about the same as Baker Mayfield. Maybe slightly worse? At least Baker has some weapons.

 

[Average Game James]

Ok, the screens aren’t working. Maybe try something different?

 

[McBride11]

again, are these refs blind?

Like that is more egregious than 90% of taunting calls.

And Bourne runs right into his blocker. le sigh

 

[BaseballJones]

Geez Bourne runs RIGHT into his blocker. Come on guys.

 

[shawnrbu]

Well, he can throw sideways.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

What kind of call is that? Don’t understand this offense

 

[kartvelo]

run into your own fucking player

 

[Tim Salmon]

Screens don't work when you run into them.

 

[staz]

Time for a FLEEEEEEA FLICKAHHHHH

 

[McBride11]

FIRST DOWN BABY! LFG!

 

[BaseballJones]

FIRST DOWN!!!!!!

 

[Reverend]

Wait, so what happens now?

 

[brandonchristensen]

holy shit a first down.

 

[Salem's Lot]

Hey a 1st down!

 

[Garshaparra]

Holy shit a 1st!

 

[pokey_reese]

Did we switch coordinators in the offseason, or did I dream that?

 

[shawnrbu]

Gesicki arrives.

 

[twibnotes]

Hell, they should have traded for Trey Lance.

He stinks - 9ers know more about him than anyone and they said “buh bye”

 

[Ed Hillel]

There's a good throw.

 

[Reverend]

Wait, so what happens now?

oh.

 

[peeves5478]

Keep doing the 5 wide

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

Underthrown. Bourne had to slow down.

 

[Jinhocho]

First legit throw followed by a wet noodle

 

[Dollar]

Man, Slay is good.

 

[shawnrbu]

Duck.

 

[BaseballJones]

UGH Bourne was WIDE open. Bad throw Mac.

 

[Remagellan]

Defense, as advertised; offense, as feared.

 

[rodderick]

Ball hang up there for a minute.

 

[8slim]

Bourne sucks today. Go get the ball

 

[Beomoose]

Holy shit a first down. Start the fireworks

 

[Brohamer of the Gods]

1. Nice play for the 1st.
2. What a duck by Mac

 

[Ed Hillel]

He was fucking wide open

 

[johnmd20]

Too weak by Mac. Just too weak.
