NFL: Week 3 Game Thread

[Gash Prex]

Arians might need to get to the blue tent

 

[Ed Hillel]

Miracle Arians is standing

 

[Al Zarilla]

Maybe Testaverde? He almost led the Jets to a Super Bowl in 1998, but they lost to Denver in the AFC Championship.

But the answer has to be Jim Plunkett.

YA Tittle, although the 49ers he came from weren't that bad.

 

[kartvelo]

Holy shit. Thread the needle, Tom.

 

[DanoooME]

Carr just called Bruce Springsteen and Boston

Waiting for the Iron Butterfly call.

 

[Gash Prex]

Who was he "traded" for ... Jay Payton?

Your quote said nothing about a trade but maybe I’m missing something?

I was trying to think of another player who had spent his career on really bad teams and then got a chance to win while he was still in his prime. Any ideas?

 

[E5 Yaz]

You said he was traded to the Patriots

 

[Ed Hillel]

Hospital Ball Tommy today

 

[Mystic Merlin]

I though Tom was gonna sell out for that first for half a second.

Pulling him here wouldn’t be the worst idea.

 

[Marciano490]

You said he was traded to the Patriots

Why you gotta be so literal?

 

[Gash Prex]

You said he was traded to the Patriots

ha your right ! Sorry kids distracting me

Marshall Faulk was on a couple 3-13 Colts teams before being traded to the Rams in '99.

 

[Al Zarilla]

They're are no Chargers fans. If anything, more people in LA actively hate them than support them due to the Raiders rivalry.

Wish they'd stayed in San Diego. Well, I still like them as the Ellay Chargers. Great win at KC today.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

And now Bernard gets hurt scoring a garbage time TD.

 

[shawnrbu]

Bernard gets injured on a garbage time TD.

 

[Gash Prex]

Brady going to throw for 500 yards and a couple of FU tds next week huh?

 

[Remagellan]

Brady going to throw for 500 yards and a couple of FU tds next week huh?

That was always on the table.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Tom over 100 passer rating with the TD pass.

 

[54thMA]

Brady going to throw for 500 yards and a couple of FU tds next week huh?

Apparently.

 

[shawnrbu]

Bernard walks off.

 

[Dollar]

I'm trying to figure out how this ending can top the Ravens-Raiders one a couple weeks ago... maybe the Dolphins get an 85 yard pass then fumble at the goal line?

 

[Euclis20]

I imagine there are at least a few thousand people living in LA who moved from San Diego. Reasonable chance that there are some chargers fans in that demo.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Yeah, they alienated most of their SD fan base with the LA move, but could probably recover that if Spanos sold the team. But they were the only team within 250 miles of LA for 20+ years and did not gain any following there. With a playoff-contending Rams team there, the Chargers are decidedly the B team in town.

 

[OurF'ingCity]

I imagine there are at least a few thousand people living in LA who moved from San Diego. Reasonable chance that there are some chargers fans in that demo.

And, of course, plenty of Chargers fans in San Diego that would drive up to LA. But, yeah, that would be a Rams home game.

 

[54thMA]

4th and 20 and Miami converts.

Unbelievable,

 

[Gash Prex]

Never underestimate the Raiders - they wanted to see what would happen with a one on one deep shot - who cares about safety help

 

[Marciano490]

Damn. TB almost got the onside kick.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Stafford is 2-1 vs. Brady.

 

[Remagellan]

Stafford is 2-1 vs. Brady.

How is that even possible?

 

[Ed Hillel]

Raiders D yikes

 

[Dollar]

Obvious holding in the Dolphins backfield.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Raiders got away with one there.

 

[Philip Jeff Frye]

Why do the Dolphins keep trying for the home run?

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Why do the Dolphins keep trying for the home run?

It’s open?

If that was DPI, then that’s a hold on the LT.

 

[shawnrbu]

How is that even possible?

It’s 2-2, although Stafford only played one drive in the game last season.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Was Fuller just tired and taking a break? Lol

 

[JCizzle]

Fuller is hurt? Shocked face.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Why do the Dolphins keep trying for the home run?

Sometimes you have a better shot when the defense is trying to defend 50 yards instead of 10. It almost worked there.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Every play a new injury!

 

[Dollar]

Fake it!

 

[shawnrbu]

Go for it.

 

[Ed Hillel]

go for it, ties are stupid

 

[j-man]

for the guys making fun of Denver i get the bad teams agile but

the NYG game was 50/50 utill the 4th jax played them even in half 1

and these next 4 games is not as hard as everyone thinks

Balt barely beat Det today and is more banged up than den is
pitt is old and slow and almost lost to Jeff dikael last season
Vegas will be tough but in denver i like my odds
Cle is most likey a loss

my point is if denver keeps the high T O P the no turnovers the tough as nails D

they will be in every game and couild win 11 or 12 games

 

[Ed Hillel]

Boooo

 

[SoxFanInCali]

That juuuuuust snuck inside the pole.

 

[Al Zarilla]

How is that even possible?

Detroit doesn't play N.E. much? Or, Stafford was out in some head to head games. Doubtful Tom was except '08.

 

[shawnrbu]

Yes, Stafford missed the Thanksgiving 2010 blowout.

 

[sodenj5]

Absurd Miami didn’t get a PI call on the Fuller shot.

 

[54thMA]

What a throw

 

[shawnrbu]

Carr drops it in the bucket.
