Week 3 NFL Game Thread

Detroit might have won if the refs got the incomplete/fumble call right

 

[jimbobim]

The Lions are a tough team on the road now? come on. 

 

[lars10]

Cris..no matter how much you say it..Detroit is not a tough win for a good team.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Their defense really gives them a heck of a margin for error.

 

[shawnrbu]

Manning played a great game. 
 
Very realistic that Denver is 9-1 when they play New England.

 

[crystalline]

The CB had no fucking clue where that ball was. Just a terrible effort all around by the Lions.

Ahh, Manning made a great throw. Tough to defend that ball. Sometimes you just have to tip the cap.

 

[Stitch01]

It's like the Yankees this year. There's no reason they should be winning as much as they do with the roster that they have.

Defense is legit and offense should be above average. The video game offense days are probably done but they are a quality team.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Those short passes are gonna win it for ya!

 

[mt8thsw9th]

What's with this play calling? Do they know they need two scores?

 

[Section15Box113]

Moving too slowly.

 

[Stitch01]

Weird time for Stafford to develop a conscience about throwing into coverage

 

[nothumb]

Defense is legit and offense should be above average. The video game offense days are probably done but they are a quality team.

 
yeah, once peyton is able to distract kubiak with episodes of Beetle Bailey and a few MASH reruns and start running his own offense again, he's gonna get comfortable.
 
then again, he could also just lose feeling in his right side at any moment.

 

[Three10toLeft]

Von Miller is getting a pretty ridiculous jump off the line.

 

[jimbobim]

Defense is legit and offense should be above average. The video game offense days are probably done but they are a quality team.

The offense has yet to run the ball effectively and a very middling overall offensive performance has a stat line inflated by the incomprehensible and horrific coverage skills of Darius Slay with no safety help given by genius Caldwell.

 

[edmunddantes]

Axel F as the play out music? Hmmm... Going old school.

 

[Three10toLeft]

Stafford never scans the field. Like ever.

 

[edmunddantes]

Von Miller is getting a pretty ridiculous jump off the line.

some looked offsides. But no replay to show it

 

[bankshot1]

Denver's offense has been below average. So far they've been a one dimensional (living off the D) and a lucky (Andy Reid says hi) team.

 

[Dahabenzapple2]

I swear I heard some Stooges earlier in the game but I could have been hallucinating

 

[Stitch01]

Yeah I think the offense will play better than it has the last few weeks and half the offenses in the league are certified tire fires.

 

[Three10toLeft]

Papier-mâché is the same thing Tony's collarbone is made of. What a coincidence.

 

[Ed Hillel]

LOL

 

[edmunddantes]

Stop moving o line unless the guy comes across.

 

[SoxFanInPdx]

The Lions forget that Megatron plays for them? God they suck.

 

[Ed Hillel]

What the fuck

 

[crystalline]

Lots of 5 yard passes

Edit: I hate collinsworth on #DFG but he has been on point this game. Called out refs for fumble call error, called out Detroit for not taking shots at the endzone.

 

[Stitch01]

Elite stat padding going on on this drive

 

[Mystic Merlin]

What in the fuck is this

 

[edmunddantes]

This might work if you weren't down two TDs

 

[mt8thsw9th]

Who was Stafford throwing that to?

 

[Section15Box113]

BOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[strek1]

That's some pathetic shit right there.

 

[Stitch01]

Lol
Check down check down check down check down oh now it's 4th down! Leta fire into double coverage

 

[edmunddantes]

Love the shot of the two colts fans there to cheer Peyton.

 

[Three10toLeft]

Who was Stafford throwing that to?

Tate. I think...

 

[crystalline]

"I'd say a shower of boos rained down, but there's not enough fans left at Ford field"

"A light shower"

"More like a sprinkle"

 

[DJnVa]

It's like the Yankees this year. There's no reason they should be winning as much as they do with the roster that they have.

 
The teams they have played will likely be 1-8 after tomorrow.

 

[lars10]

One throw into the end zone..geez.

 

[crystalline]

Lol

You forgot
false start

 

[soxhop411]

This has been a shitty week of games

 

[DJnVa]

This has been a shitty week of games

 
Pats scored 51.
 
The other teams are window dressing.

 

[riboflav]

Amazing to think the Lions have not drafted a QB since Stafford in 2009. What more evidence do they require?

 

[Stitch01]

You forgot
false start

Yeah 66 seemed to have his own thing going on where he was determined to try to toe the line on false starting every play. He finally beat the snap count by a split second without getting called, so congrats to him!

Bottom of the power rankings would be harder to figure out right now than the top, not sure which disaster to rank last.

 

[mt8thsw9th]

Von Miller is getting a pretty ridiculous jump off the line.

 
I'd bet some money that Caldwell hasn't changed snap counts since he had Peyton under his employ, thus Peyton was able to feed that info to the Broncos' defensive coordinators.

 

[soxhop411]

season+ ending injury

 

[crystalline]

I think it's the coaching more than Stafford. Caldwell, Schwarz, Mariucci, Marinelli.
Get a well disciplined team and Stafford can get it done for you. I'd take him still over 1/3rd of the NFL. Every team in the AFC east other than the Pats would love to have him.

 

[SumnerH]

Eh. Jacksonville didn't have a punt under 65 net yards today. That's impressive.

 

[DJnVa]

I'm reading this as you saying every punt by the Jags today was over 65 net yards and I know that's not the case.
 
So, how should I be reading it?

 

[soxhop411]

Pats scored 51.

yes. But I like good NFL games… Other than the Pats and the OAK game, everything else was dumpster fire

Ugh. I meant punt return.
