2018 NFL Game Thread - Week 2

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

GB Min and PItt KC better both end by 4:24

You need to factor in the 5 minutes of commercials between games.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Wait? Pittsburgh kicked deep down 5 with 2 minutes left against an offense they haven't forced a single 3 and out from all day?

 

[johnmd20]

Dalvin Cook is a nifty little RB.

They had 3 TOs. On first down, Hunt ran for 9 yards, when everyone in the building knew Hunt was getting the ball.

 

[GoDa]

Due to contractual obligations... we will now cut away from this game to show you commercials. - CBS.

 

[johnmd20]

Pitt roughs the kicker. That's legit.

I get that 3 TOs you usually kick it deep, but they weren't getting a 3 and out, there was zero chance of it happening.

To be fair, it is how they pay for the rights.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

I'm ok with that roughing. Pitt's only real shot was a blocked kick. Gotta sell out there to try and get it. He came close too.

 

[johnmd20]

Carlson misses for Minny. Rodgers is going to win this.

 

[Ale Xander]

Stillers lose

 

[Marciano490]

Pity, because Carlson has a good name for a Minnesota Vikings kicker.

 

[johnmd20]

Lots of FG misses today. Some very sloppy feet out there. Where is Rex Ryan when you need him?

 

[McBride11]

Vikings guy just missed another kick. Oops.

NFL Rules are so silly. WHY cut out of games that are exciting?

 

[Ale Xander]

Pats on!

 

[Dollar]

With everything that has happened today, and the continued excellence of Adam Vinatieri, can we just sign Ghost to a ten year extension? When you get a great kicker, you never let him go.

 

[shawnrbu]

I'll pass on extending Gost.

 

[Dollar]

Uhh... scratch that for now.

 

[johnmd20]

Thielen might have the best hands in the NFL. If it gets to him, it's not just caught, it's swallowed up.

 

[shawnrbu]

Why run the clock down to 4 seconds? What if there is a bad snap?

 

[shawnrbu]

LOL! 3 missed kicks, 2 in OT.

Another tie.

 

[mauidano]

The life of an NFL kicker...lots of job openings tomorrow. Carlson will have to walk back to Minnesota.

 

[snowmanny]

Nice knowing you Carlson

 

[mauidano]

Feel bad for Carlson's family. Just heartbreaking for them to watch this today.

 

[bosockboy]

Can’t be back next week. Could cost them HFA.

 

[johnmd20]

The kickers today. Man alive, I can't recall anything like this. Multiple kickers missed game winning kicks and two of them missed more than one.

 

[Caspir]

Incredible.

 

[johnmd20]

Feel bad for Carlson's family. Just heartbreaking for them to watch this today.

Do you know their family? Or is there a backstory I am not aware of?

 

[luckiestman]

Can we get the 15 minute OT back

 

[DeadlySplitter]

we';re going to see a lot more ties with this 10 minute OT.

 

[johnmd20]

we';re going to see a lot more ties with this 10 minute OT.

If kickers could kick, there would be 0 ties so far this year.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Vontae Davis retired at halftime rather than face another half playing for the Bills:

[DJnVa]

Vontae Davis retired at halftime. May have even changed into street clothes and left stadium

Billstown!

EDIT: DAMN YOU CELLAR-DOOR!!

 

[luckiestman]

When was the last Florida sweep (Jags/Fins/Bucs)?

 

[Cellar-Door]

The Cardinals may be worse than the Bills, they may also have a worse QB situation, because Rosen must truly suck to not have replaced Sam "stealing money" Bradford

 

[shawnrbu]

When was the last Florida sweep (Jags/Fins/Bucs)?

September 9, 2018

 

[luckiestman]

September 9, 2018

My fault. I meant x2.

 

[Cellar-Door]

My god the Cardinals are a trainwreck.

Sam Bradford today.... 3.4 YPA that would be bad for YPC nevermind YPA

 

[Deathofthebambino]

And now Denver will do what Carolina did earlier. Instead of fucking spiking it after a 1st down, they run up, run a play and throw it out of bounds, and cost themselves 15 seconds. IT MAKES NO SENSE.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Now get up there and fucking spike it. You idiots.

 

[johnmd20]

Horrendous move by keenum. IDIOT.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Gee, they probably wish they had those 40 seconds they wasted now.

 

[johnmd20]

D Thomas drops so many passes.

 

[johnmd20]

That was an awesome and lucky run by the Denver WR there.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Nice to see any kicker make a pressure kick today when it mattered. My God, was ready for McManus to shank one there too.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Such a bad play to cut inside. Got lucky nobody was near him.

 

[Ale Xander]

Oaktown

 

[Ale Xander]

Gee, they probably wish they had those 40 seconds they wasted now.

Oakland probably wishes Denver still had them.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

So, umm, the Cardinals going to give up on the Sam Bradford experience, and make it Josh Rosen's team at some point? They've been outscored 58-6 through the first two weeks. Bradford has a QB rating of like 55.0.

 

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

Cooper runs out of bounds with zero on the clock. A well coached team in Oakland.
