Week 4 Gamethread

[shawnrbu]

Dick Stockton just got the yard markers mixed up.

 

[shawnrbu]

Is Cam Newton a System QB, too?

 

[loshjott]

Panthers scored with 1:59 left and now down 8. Inexplicably kicked off deep.

It could have actually worked, but pick six, ballgame.

 

[riboflav]

Is Cam Newton a System QB, too?

Nope

 

[Marciano490]

Ha, I didn't bet the over in Car-Atl because I wasn't sure Atl would score enough. Oops.

 

[shawnrbu]

Falcons averaging 38 PPG at the quarter pole.

 

[johnmd20]

Anderson looks awesome. Cam is clearly a system QB.

 

[Old Fart Tree]

As Cypress Hill might say, I think Joe Flacco could and did "just kill a man."

 

[shawnrbu]

The Raiders are back for the first time since 2002.

 

[Dollar]

I really want to see Tucker try a 68-yarder.

 

[loshjott]

Great legal hit by 27 on the WR to win the game for the Raiders.

 

[shawnrbu]

Evidently Nashville is further west than New Orleans, according to Steve Tasker. I can learn geography from the NFL.

 

[ngruz25]

Wait, defensive backs can break up passes by hitting the receiver in the stomach with their shoulder?!? Why didn't anybody tell Brandon Meriwhether???

 

[Marciano490]

Maybe Arizona just isn't very good?

 

[tims4wins]

Denver has 57 yards and 14 points due to two picks. Pats have to somehow avoid playing there in Jan

 

[Cellar-Door]

Maybe the worst roughing call ever to bail out the Cowboys. Prescott being sacked, gets a little push just as the whistle is blown.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Seimen just got carted off the sidelines for Denver.

 

[Remagellan]

Maybe Arizona just isn't very good?

They and Carolina are both strong arguments for the let down season that often follows coming close to a championship.

 

[johnmd20]

Seimen just got carted off the sidelines for Denver.

Lynch in.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Carted off with a left shoulder injury? Ooook...

 

[kelpapa]

Carted off with a left shoulder injury? Ooook...

Cbs missed the play completely. Came back from a break and was showing a replay of it.

 

[dbn]

I have Red Zone on. In the Arizona game, the TD catch, Palmer to Brown for the Cardinals: Brown was in the slot but both he and the split end on his side seemed both to be on the line of scrimmage, which makes Brown ineligible. Am I missing something, or did the refs?

edit: I mean Floyd.

double edit, here: http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/2016100209/2016/REG4/rams@cardinals#menu=drivechart|contentId:0ap3000000714006&tab=analyze&pbp=gc-pbp-cd

 

[Dollar]

It looked that way from the angle they were showing, but one of the receivers checked with the line judge to say he was a little bit off the line of scrimmage. It was definitely closer than normal though.

Thanks.

 

[shawnrbu]

This sounds like a Cowboys home game.

Jerry nailed the draft with EE and DP.

 

[Sox and Rocks]

It doesn't matter who Denver's QB is. They're a strong and balanced team

 

[dcmissle]

Yes they are. Now watch Lynch > Siemian. And that will be ascribed to the horseshoe.

 

[dcmissle]

So Dak is pretty good, and that was a great play call.

 

[Greg29fan]

I would have never guessed Dallas would be 3-1 after Romo went down. And they should have beaten the Giants in the one loss.

 

[BigSoxFan]

I would have never guessed Dallas would be 3-1 after Romo went down. And they should have beaten the Giants in the one loss.

Why not? Redskins, Bears, Niners is about as easy as it gets. And Dak was solid in the preseason.

 

[Greg29fan]

Why not? Redskins, Bears, Niners is about as easy as it gets. And Dak was solid in the preseason.

I thought teams would load the box against the running game and Dak would hit a wall once the real games started, and the defense, which on paper should be hideous, would get exposed. Instead it's been a lot like 2014.

I was expecting 2-2 so I give them credit even with the weak schedule, especially with Dez out. Still a month away from Romo but the decision is getting more interesting.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

How does Thom Brennaman have a job calling NFL games? Week after week he calls big plays with the gusto of a person ordering a Big Mac at the drivethru.

 

[tims4wins]

Who had Az and Car at 1-3 and the Pats 3-1?

 

[soxhop411]

I would not survive as a chargers fan

They've at least made it to the Super Bowl fairly recently.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

They've at least made it to the Super Bowl fairly recently.

Wasn't that more than 20 years ago?

 

[E5 Yaz]

Wasn't that more than 20 years ago?

1995

 

[Cellar-Door]

SD has choked away what 3 games now? McCoy on the hot seat

 

[Remagellan]

1995

If your championship is old enough to legally buy a drink, it's not recent.

 

[E5 Yaz]

SD has choked away what 3 games now? McCoy on the hot seat

How he survived last year is still a mystery

 

[luckiestman]

Not recent, fairly recent

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

That's one of the biggest gag jobs in recent memory.

 

[j-man]

Who had Az and Car at 1-3 and the Pats 3-1?

who had denver 4-0 with 2 rookie QB

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Not recent, fairly recent

I guess if you measure it against the Paleolithic Era, you're right.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Trump was still on his third mistress

 

[Cellar-Door]

This is the second straight week that the Chargers fumbled on their last two possessions.

 

[timelysarcasm]

who had denver 4-0 with 2 rookie QB

Well they did win it all last year with a rusty wheelbarrow playing QB.

 

[j-man]

Well they did win it all last year with a rusty wheelbarrow playing QB.

no that was a noodlie arm wheelbarrow

 

[54thMA]

no that was a noodlie arm wheelbarrow

You could put a card board cut out back there and with that defense, they'd be 4-0. They scored 14 points today off of two INT's by Talib, their defense sets up the offense, which is a great combination.

The road to the Super Bowl looks like it will go through Denver as annoying to me as that is, 0-4 there all time in the playoffs for the Patriots does not bode well.
