Week 3 NFL Game Thread

Cleveland is starting McCown over Manziel this weekend... why?

 

[semsox]

Because they're the Browns. Given their history, keeping Manziel as the starter would have been the more surprising move

 

[NortheasternPJ]

Cleveland is starting McCown over Manziel this weekend... why?

 
They both suck, what's the difference at this point? I guess you can make the point that Manziel could still possibly be the future? I'd imagine he's probably the best way to get a high draft pick. 8/15 with 170 yards, 100 of those yards on 2 plays. The rest of the game was pretty ugly.

 

[Section15Box113]

Hey, it's Thursday! We have football!!!

But it's the Washington Football Team @ the Meadowlands.

Maybe I should have said "football."

Ugh. Root for many Manningfaces, perhaps?

 

[tims4wins]

Never root for Mannings.

 

[snowmanny]

What's the premier game this week? Steelers at Rams? Bengals at Ravens? Falcons at Cowboys? Not the most compelling slate.

 

[McBride11]

Obligatory 506 NFL TV Maps .
 
Pretty crummy overall slate...
 
Seeing Pitt vs STL will be interesting. How good is Pitt's O and / or STL's D. Pitt, currently, is still the team that worries me the most in the AFC.
 
Cinci @ Bal simply because it helps layout the AFC North and potential seedings down the road. Maybe Cinci is for real and gets out to a 3-0 start.
 
Buf @ Mia for AFC East info. Root for Rex because the Pat's all ready beat them this year? 
 
KC @ GB - to see if KC is any sort of real team after their choke job last week.

 

[ifmanis5]

You don't see that too often.

 

[edmunddantes]

But preceded by them getting running/roughing kicker wrong again.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Tobert's crew.  Flags flags flags.

 

[ifmanis5]

Redskins stuck in Pope traffic? They look asleep.

 

[Turrable]

fuck the Lexus commercial about feet

 

[Section15Box113]

Never root for Mannings.

 
But always root for Manningfaces. 
 
Following a 3rd down sack...
 
Or a pick...
 
Or a defeat...

 

[ifmanis5]

Is RG3 available?

 

[ifmanis5]

Giants recover every loose ball. It's in the bylaws.

 

[Three10toLeft]

How was Eli that completely unaware of the play clock there? Not a big deal, but jeeze.

 

[DanoooME]

Maybe DeAngelo Hall has a future career at 1B after football.  Nice scoop.
 
Can he hit better than Napoli or Shaw?

 

[Marciano490]

Eli pick. Ring the register. Best bets ever.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Refs are real good at seeing penalties, whatever, but they miss that bounce.

 

[Marciano490]

Eh screw it. 3.5 quarters left. It'll happen.

 

[Greg29fan]

Refs are real good at seeing penalties, whatever, but they miss that bounce.

 
I'm beginning to think they are told to get reviewable plays wrong to fit in more commercials.  

 

[Ed Hillel]

Cousins stinks.

 

[Three10toLeft]

Griffin can't beat Cousins out??? Almost all of Cousin's passes are underthrown. That's frightening/sad.

 

[86spike]

Cousins stinks.

That pass to Reed looked like it was in slow motion.

 

[edmunddantes]

This game isnt over till the Giants are up by more than 10 in the 4th quarter. Still plenty of time for the Giants to eff this one up.

 

[86spike]

I didn't even realize Daniel Fells was still in the league.

 

[Ralphwiggum]

Obligatory "I can't believe the Pats lost two Super Bowls to fucking Eli" post.

 

[ipol]

Played that ball like a goalie.

 

[ipol]

Consistently off on his throws.

 

[GeorgeCostanza]

Fantastic pocket work there by cousins

 

[Ed Hillel]

That block by 78 was awesome.

 

[ipol]

Maybe he should always be moving when throwing?

 

[Ed Hillel]

Ref reached into his pocket to call a hold then thought better of it.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Ref reached into his pocket to call a hold then thought better of it.

And Phili Simms thought the crowd groaned because there was an open man downfield

 

[Ed Hillel]

"Even though he didn't hold him, he tried. Good call!"

 

[Ed Hillel]

Hahaha, that's the Brady sucks guy

 

[DanoooME]

Are we sure Peyton didn't get traded to Washington secretly?
 
Cousins is throwing ducks.

 

[86spike]

That easily could have been another INT.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Reed has to turn that into PI.

 

[Dogman]

I know he threw off his back foot but as a Pro he should have the arm strength to make that throw.

 

[ipol]

Hopkins has looked good twice in a row. Plenty of teams could use a good kicker

 

[mauf]

I know he threw off his back foot but as a Pro he should have the arm strength to make that throw.

... or the wisdom not to attempt to make it.

 

[edmunddantes]

Reed has to turn that into PI.

not sure why he didn't push back towards ball and at least make the ref make a call.

 

[Dogman]

... or the wisdom not to attempt to make it.

 
 
Or that.  

 

[nothumb]

eli running the 7 minute drill.

 

[GeorgeCostanza]

Tough pass int cal

 

[HowBoutDemSox]

No clock run off on the offensive foul? What are the rules are that?

 

[86spike]

What a punt

 

[ipol]

Good push by the o line to keep it safe.

 

[edmunddantes]

"Even though low scoring. This is a good game."

Wow. Talk about having to sell a pile of shit.

This is not a good game.

"Eli is earning his money"

Lol
