Week 2 NFL Game Thread

So.Many.Flags. Everywhere. All I see is a field of yellow.

Should just have the refs wear yellow, so when they run in after the play they can just automatically start explaining the penalty.

 

[MarcSullivaFan]

Tannehill on fire.

So is Bortles. Holy crap.

 

[shawnrbu]

What a dumb penalty.  Destroyed the punter. 
 
Edit:  Scratch the dumb penalty part. 

 

[McBride11]

Philly Punter just got destroyed on a Dallas blocked punt during the return.

 

[Jnai]

Demarco Murray now has zero rushing yards on the year.

 

[luckiestman]

Mike Pereira saying the penalty should stand but I don't agree.

 

[rodderick]

Just got home, I see Bradford still sucks.

 

[mauf]

Mike Pereira saying the penalty should stand but I don't agree.

It's a dumb rule, but if he's considered a defenseless player, Pereira is right.

 

[edmunddantes]

It's a dumb rule, but if he's considered a defenseless player, Pereira is right.

He was running after the play though. I thought that made him part of it now?
 
Or was it because the guy didn't come far enough in front on the block?

 

[RoyHobbs]

ruh roh for DAL

I agree it's stupid, but I assume Pereira knows the rule, and there's no doubt the blocker made incidental contact with the punter's head/neck.

Big play for Philly. Not dead yet.

 

[soxhop411]

Romo is down. and hurt

 

[shawnrbu]

When does Jerry put Romo back in the game?

 

[Stitch01]

Brady playing week four with no Romo would be fucking awesome, fuck you Jerry Jones

 

[rembrat]

Dallas could probably win this game by having Romo kneel on every play.

Did you mean keel over?

 

[luckiestman]

If I had to guess, that's a separated shoulder for Romo

 

[soxhop411]

RT @DarrenDegaetano I'm told Kiko Alonso's season is done. #Eagles

Troy kept saying helmet to helmet but it looked like shoulder to shoulder to me.

 

[hunter05]

The Eagles look scary bad

 

[shawnrbu]

Romo headed to the ambulance.  Broken collarbone?  He would definitely miss the Pats game in Week 5.

 

[Kremlin Watcher]

The refs in Philly are having a terrible game.

 

[dcmissle]

Brady playing week four with no Romo would be fucking awesome, fuck you Jerry Jones

Exactly. And eff you Mara, and Rooney, and Bisciotti too.

 

[shawnrbu]

Is Weeden going to warm up?

 

[Al Zarilla]

Just abysmal clock management by Romo and the Cowboys there.

The Patriots hold all the patents on that. Nobody else can legally do it well.

 

[Rico Guapo]

Phillys OL is garbage.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Oakland up by 10 now over Baltimore. Can they hold on?

 

[glennhoffmania]

If NO, Bal and Mia all lose then I give up on NFL betting.

 

[soxhop411]

Jason Smith ‏@howaboutafresca  11s11 seconds ago Los Angeles, CA
Overheard by the production truck doing the game - Romo said on his way to locker room he broke his collarbone.

 

[dcmissle]

If they can, Baltimore is playing for its season next week at home vs Cincy. And although I don't want tickets that mean nothing for 7 games, I'll put up with that this season. Harbaugh has been that much of a bitch in 2015. I will put up with it.

 

[shawnrbu]

Sam Bradford!

 

[RoyHobbs]

Badford

 

[bigsid05]

LOL @ Bradford. Threw it straight to a Dallas defender.

 

[dcmissle]

Vegas is laughing all the way to the bank this week over Rams at Redskins, reportedly the most heavily bet game.

 

[GeorgeCostanza]

Ooooof. That was stupid and horrible.

 

[GeorgeCostanza]

Tuned in late. What happened to Romo?

 

[shawnrbu]

The Eagles sure could use a goal line package with Tebow. 

 

[ipol]

Is Tannehill really considered one of the best qb's in the league against pressure? I haven't seen him enough to be sure but that seems like a stretch.

 

[shawnrbu]

Tuned in late. What happened to Romo?

 
Lost the ball while being pressured in the backfield.  Broke his collarbone while being driven into the ground.

 

[RIrooter09]

6-8 weeks for Romo.

 

[GeorgeCostanza]

Broken. that's not good.

 

[OCST]

That Bradford pick was the worst.  Not even like Lee had to make a great play on it - he had Ertz boxed out and Bradford basically drilled it into Lee's numbers.
 
Hard to look at a play in the third quarter of Week 2 and say it is likely one of the most important of the season, but given that it's a division opponent, and what's going on in the division, and what the Eagles look like so far - that was brutal.

 

[mauf]

So if Romo's collarbone is broken, DAL just packs it in, right? Wonder if they have anyone worth trading.

 

[riboflav]

In my day, that's a catch. Stupid challenge though.

 

[shawnrbu]

The NFC East looks like a good bet to be the division this year with the winner having 8 or 9 wins.

Who's their back-up?

 

[ngruz25]

Philly has -19 rushing yards? Wha?

 

[MiracleOfO2704]

Dammit, my fantasy team needed Romo to gut it out and deliver his usual suck.

 

[glennhoffmania]

 
Who's their back-up?

 
I think it's Garrett.

 

[Remagellan]

In Philly, they should sell Sam Bradford jerseys the same way they sell cigarettes—with a book of matches and a warning label that states “Use of this product as intended may prove harmful to your health.”

Without Dez and Demarco, the offense is gonna struggle with anyone but Brady.
