Week 4 Game Thread

[shawnrbu]

Road teams are 11-2 this week. Only the Giants and Bears have won at home.

Bad things are going to happen when you ask Goff to throw 68 times. Why does McVay hate Gurley?

70 Dropbacks. SEVENTY!!!!

Gurley had 5 carries. The team had 11.

Bears helmets, unis are from 1936. Too far back for me!

Leather helmets never looked so chic.

Nick Foles has the weirdest luck and career. In danger of being Wally Pipped. On the other hand, he won a SB, got paid, and has a massive wiener.

And don't forget his 27 TD/2 INT season in 2013, then following it up by going 6-2 for the 2014 Eagles before breaking his collarbone, then being traded to a putrid Rams team.

A lot of Buckeye in that Saints secondary

Receivers too

 

[DeadlySplitter]

rough pick for Teddy, made a great throw but Ginn dropped it.

 

[Ale Xander]

Butterhands

 

[BigSoxFan]

Imagine if you actually had functioning hands, Ginn

 

[TSC]

That's horseshit. If the QB makes a move to throw the ball, he should still be game.

 

[shawnrbu]

Soft call.

 

[OurF'ingCity]

What exactly do the refs have against the Saints?

 

[Ale Xander]

Qbs protected better than Faberge eggs

 

[bigq]

Dak took a big hit there.

 

[Ale Xander]

Surprised that wasn't roughing the passer

 

[shawnrbu]

3rd and 9 in the redzone. Time for some Dak Magic.

 

[Greg29fan]

Should have been an easy TD there.

 

[TFisNEXT]

Should have been an easy TD there.

Yep. Had him open.

 

[Ale Xander]

That's a running back not a qb

 

[shawnrbu]

Hold it longer, Teddy.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Why wouldnt Dallas decline that penalty?

 

[bigq]

Saints going to take themselves out of FG range with penalties.

 

[shawnrbu]

First time I have ever seen Witten fumble.

 

[Greg29fan]

LOL at that OPI call

 

[Marciano490]

Gross. More Manning’s.

 

[shawnrbu]

Zeke is down.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Gross. More Manning’s.

Yeah, Christ. It’s the last thing we need.

And surprised they didn’t rule Zeke down there

 

[scottyno]

no idea what more they needed to see to call his elbow down there

 

[Greg29fan]

I see why Payton is 11-1 with Jeffers officiating Saints games.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Bridgewatee doesn’t even look at Kamara

 

[Harry Hooper]

Exactly, elbow is down before the ball starts to pop out.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Nice clock management

 

[shawnrbu]

“This is where Teddy Bridgewater is at his best.”

Collinsworth is so bad.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

4 seconds. can't really run another play...

 

[DeadlySplitter]

well, a play that would work at least.

 

[shawnrbu]

Hometown clock operator.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Really, CC? Clearly he chose to scurry into Bridgewater low, regardless of the block.

 

[Greg29fan]

Great drive right there...loved that they sped up the tempo.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

sliding short of the line on 3rd is interesting. might get bailed out.

 

[shawnrbu]

Pick the flag up.

 

[Dollar]

Well done by the refs there. Surprisingly.

 

[Marciano490]

Is there a way I can bet on plays going fewer than 5 yards when it’s a direct snap to Hill?

 

[BigSoxFan]

So many killer penalties

 

[Kliq]

Dallas is really basic in how they try and get Zeke the ball. Neither team can run the ball very well tonight, but at least New Orleans has tried to get Kamara the ball in different situations and run some pitches and such for him. Dallas just keeps handing the ball to Zeke up the middle and hope that this time a massive hole will appear.

I know the NFL has gone to the spread formation, pass happy offense, but I'll never understand why these teams like Dallas, the Rams, etc. who have great running backs don't get a fullback out there more often, and give their all world running backs a lead blocker, and let them do their thing. It opens up the play action too, and you can use the fullback to block and sneak the halfback out into a pattern, etc. They are constantly in one back sets, or shotgun, and it's killing the running games for some of these teams, IMO.

 

[shawnrbu]

Jeffers was listening to someone in his ear to change the call.

 

[shawnrbu]

What an addition Robert Quinn is for the boys.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Key 3rd down play and no Kamara. Not like it matters with that breakdown though.
