2023 Week 1 NFL Gamethread

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

I think they should do away with coin flips. Visitors get the option to begin the game; home team gets the option to start the second half.
I haven't really thought this through, so I'm not sure what to do about OT

Yeah, seems a bit silly, but the NFL loves these ceremonial things in big games. I guess you could imagine one or two games a year where direction is more important than possession, where it might matter?

Love Harbaugh going for 2 up 7, to make it a 2-score game.

edit: ew I wish I didn't write the words "love" and "Harbaugh" together

 

[DanoooME]

Love the 2 pt conversion with a 7 point lead.

Rooting for playoff seeing Week 1 seems like the maneuver of an insane person.

In NFC versus AFC? I mean, that’s a no brainer. In the middle of December there will be multiple teams tracking for 9, 10 or 11 wins. This is literally what it comes down to.

Week 1 games count less in the standings now. It’s a new rule.

Is Denny on the wagon?

You wish. Pats are unlikely to make the playoffs, but if the stars align it will be because second tier AFC teams lose to NFC teams.

 

[Al Zarilla]

McCaffery!!!!

Squealers squealing

sorry this comment came in late and I already reserved you a seat. Thank you for your service in rooting for the Birds today to beat an AFC team @4:25

 

[Reverend]

Niners get the ball to start the 3rd

Steelers have it now.

 

[rodderick]

I see Mike Evans still has the worst hands of all upper tier wide receivers.

 

[Dollar]

Christian McCaffrey is awesome.

 

[luckiestman]

Steelers have it now.

LMAO

 

[mr_smith02]

Steelers have it now.

That won't last too long

 

[shawnrbu]

The guy who scouted Harry must have mixed him up with Aiyuk, right?

 

[Al Zarilla]

Steelers have it now.

They didn't want to get it that quick that way.

I think I will stand, if it’s ok, I hear you get syphilis from the seat covers on that wagon.

 

[luckiestman]

Yeah Baker!

 

[shawnrbu]

Bengals finally on the board.

Stop interrupting, I’m in the middle of recording DENNY AND THE JETS

 

[Dollar]

Wait.. who just said they thought Taysom Hill is one of the best football players ever? That's... insane.

Ross Tucker I think?

I'll give you this: He loves the Jets more than he loves penguins or blueberries

Definitely one of the top 10 named Taysom though.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

True.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Pickett is what we thought he is.

I heard that. I have a problem with that comment.

 

[johnmd20]

Baby hands.

 

[Reverend]

[johnmd20]

Oof. That was an all time bad pass by Watson.

 

[Dollar]

Oof. That was an all time bad pass by Watson.

WTF was that???

 

[luckiestman]

Deshaun WHAT?son

 

[DanoooME]

Deshaun Watson must be color blind.

 

[Gash Prex]

Watson just tried to load and fire one on the run…. And threw a duck about 15 yards short of the receiver right to the defender…

Wet ball?

 

[DanoooME]

Disappointing. Harbaugh should have gone for 2 again, to make it 3 possessions.

 

[Dollar]

I thought the Ravens might go for 2 again to make it a 3-score game.

edit: Danooo get out of my head

 

[johnmd20]

The Commies and the Steelers came into the year with some hype. Not great.

Watson's pass was tipped. That makes more sense. Still a poor pass.

 

[luckiestman]

Bijan Mustard is spicy

 

[Gash Prex]

Wet ball?

turns out it was tipped - couldn’t see it live

 

[Reverend]

ARZ-WAS just showed the exact same angle of water dripping off the crossbar to show how much rain there is that CIN-CLE showed earlier for the same reason. Like, exactly the same. I guess they train on that.

 

[johnmd20]

If you're a Bijan owner and you see Algiere getting goalline carries, you're not happy.

I just realized that the Vikes are wearing throwbacks--which they should always wear because their Bud Grant era unis were the best in football.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

I love the Hansen Red Zone, but the whole witching hour thing is kinda hilariously corny.

Great minds think alike!

 

[Remagellan]

Right now they're kind of usung Bijan like the Lions used Gibbs--more as a gadget weapon than a feature back.

It's wonderful.

let’s hope it’s stands, probably won’t

Fall on the ball no matter what you dopes.
