[W:549] Nfl 2018

No excuse.. Vikes are a favorite to get to the SB.. At home, 17 point favorites against maybe the worst team in the NFL. And they gave Cousins $84 mil, GUARANTEED. Can't have a game like that at home against an awful team. If the Vikes lost on a late FG because of some weird plays or penalties, ok.. But they never showed up.

After 1 game? I can't go there. I'm upstate and that game was on here. So I watched some of it. The whole team stunk. From top to bottom.

Sad thing for the Vikes is that division is wide open. Bears are the Bears.. So who knows.. Rogers is hurt.. Lions stink.. Vikes could have taken a big step forward.
 
Jimmy G tore his ACL.

Bad news for the 49'ers. They are like the Packers without Aaron Rodgers.

The NFL seem to forget Jimmy G was brittle his time in NE.

That's really unfortunate.
 
That was a ridiculously bad call. They literally might as well put all the QBs in red shirts and dont let them get hit unless they run with the ball.

It was a bad call. But the NFL is going to do anything and everything it can to protect the QB's. They know no one wants to watch 3rd string QB's go 5-22 for 89 yards.
 
Titans sure look good.

Beat the Texans last week with Blaine Gabbert starting and beat the Jaguars on the road without scoring a TD.

If they can get their passing game figured out, they will be a threat.

And then Garrapalo goes and blows what looks like an ACL to get a few extra yards.

Jimmy G maybe talented however I don't think he learned from Brady who to avoid big hits and keep yourself healthy.

Brady imo is one of the greatest pre-snap qbs avoiding the blitz and knowing how to protect his body.
 
I'm sure Brady's going to take last weeks loss out on my team, but I'm interested to see how Patricia will do against them. Stafford has to start playing better.

Edit: This "Sunday Night Football" song sucks. :(

If Lions can pull this out, they have hope. Bears are division leaders. And, we all know that won't last.

They look surprisingly good so far. And they're running the football, which they seriously haven't done for years!

Patriots D will to be able to stop them today unfortunately, could be a long game for the patriots
 
Anyone watching Wash/Green Bay? Matthews just sacked Smith and ‘roughing the passer’ was called. Smith never got rid of the ball and Matthews couldn’t adjust his body once the hit started. Weak call IMO. And I am a casual DC fan.....

I'm a skins fan, and while the call wasn't as horrendous last weeks (which I don't think should've been a penalty under the new rules), it was still a great example of how ridiculous the rules are as it relates to hits on the QB right now. By the letter of the rules, like the announces said...I understand why they called it. However, that letter of the rules is horrible for the game.

There was an almost identical call in DAL/SEA. They will be hashing it over in the following week. I remember the old guys; Y.A. Tittle (bleeding, helmet off), Kilmer & Jorgensen drinking into the wee hours Saturday night and then playing Sunday. Bradshaw with the bad dental work. I understand the game/society has changed, but these two penalties speak loudly as to one of the problems with the game....I think the game is borderline barbaric in this day and age. What percentage of the donated brains have signs of CTE?
 
After watching today's games I have a question.

On the sidelines of any team there are dozens of players , many of which will not get one grass stain on their jerseys, and various staff and undressed players.


Can't they designate one person whose job would be to make certain they only had 11 men on the field before a play is started? It seems like a no brainer.

After 1 game? I can't go there.

Next weeks game will reveal a lot of the character and heart of Kirk Cousins.

Nothing you're seeing here is new for Redskins fans. And I fully expect that:

1) Cousins will bounce next week
2) He will have at least one more performance like this during the year

This is what and who Kirk Cousins is. It's who he's been the whole time he's been in the league. He has some excellent games in him, and he has some absolute duds as well. Usually he hovers between solid, with the ability to pad some fat stats and solid with the ability to make a bone headed, back breaking play at some point. But every once in a while you'll get something special or just something disastrous.

This is who he is. A top of the middle tier QB who can be successful when everything around him is going well, but is just as likely going to lose you a game as win it for you when everything else isn't firing at all cylinders. You can win with Kirk Cousins, which is more to say for many QB's in this league, but he's not going to be a guy who is going to carry your team to a deep run on the back of his own talent and ability.

I can't disagree. I've been waiting for the real Kirk Cousins to show up. And, what you describe is the guy I've known him to be: hot and cold.

What surprised me today was that the rest of the Vikings failed to show up.
 
Matt Paddford plays best when he is padding his stats. I can definitely see New England Coming back.
 
This team is too Gronk reliant. Everytime he gets hit I think he is going to tear his ACL.

Julian Edelman and Josh Gordon can't get here fast enough.

Be kind of embarrassing to lose to 0-2 Detroit. No?
