NFL Week 4 Gamethread

[mauf]

Tough holding call on the Packers there.

 

[Time to Mo Vaughn]

This GB/Detroit game is great.

GB Chicago

 

[Ed Hillel]

Nice effort, Slay.

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

Greg Salas the ex-Pat. For god's sake Lions.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Geno nearly just got Brady'd.

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

Nice effort, Slay.

 
Slay's been trying to just strip the ball all freaking game. Just make the tackle.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Terrible D by the Lions.

 

[RIrooter09]

Raiders continuing to implode.

 

[ShaneTrot]

The Carolina defense is now terrible: 28-7 Rat birds.

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

Screw that phantom call on 3rd down. 

 

[Ed Hillel]

What kind of defense is that, with the DB falling off of coverage to the outside, when there's nobody outside to cover.

 

[Freddy Linn]

Mike Evans is super good.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Good job returning that one.

 

[Freddy Linn]

JJ WATT

 

[CaptainLaddie]

JJ FUCKING WATT.

What a fucking monster.

 

[IdiotKicker]

So JJ Watt is pretty fuckng good.

 

[Soxy]

Carolina is just a bad football team right now.  Defense doesn't anything like the top unit it was last season, and the offense appears to have gone backwards for the second year in a row. 

 

[johnmd20]

All JJ Watt does is score touchdowns.

 

[CaptainLaddie]

JJ Watt is just one TD behind Tom Brady for the season.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Good route by Bush, straight out of bounds behind the LoS.

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

Middle of the zone is so open all game for the Lions. All game.

 

[ShaneTrot]

Of course, Tuck has done nothing for the Raiders today. The guy has made a career out of killing NE.

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

Darrin Walls may be the most hated Jet even more so than Geno. 

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

So based on Oakland's tour of the AFCE, so far Patriots are on the bottom of the stack. 

 

[soxhop411]

Dennis Allen will not be a coach after the bye if this continues

 

[Ed Hillel]

No way Stafford was in there, but can they overturn it?

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

STAFFORD YOU MAGNIFICENT BASTARD!!!

 

[mauf]

No way Stafford was in there, but can they overturn it?

I think they've got the angle to overrule it, but I don't know if they will.

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

I think that's inconclusive. 

 

[axx]

That was a great move by the Bills D to get the Texans to jump.

 

[Jeff Van GULLY]

Cutler turning into a pumpkin. 2nd int.

 

[CaptainLaddie]

Fuck fantasy football

 

[Ed Hillel]

That should be grounding on Smith, that ball did not cross the LoS in bounds.

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

Darius Slay is the worst CB in football.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Haaaaa

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

LOL Geno on that screen throw!

 

[Ed Hillel]

I think that's false start number 6 on the Jets.

 

[soxhop411]

these GB refs shold be fired. They have been SOOOOOOO bad

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

And here comes a patented Geno INT following that missed throw. 

 

[Dollar]

WTF is that call on the field goal in GB/CHI?  They called a hold on a defensive lineman who just put his hands up on the blocker's chest.  Ridiculous call, leading to another Packers TD.

 

[Ed Hillel]

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

 

[Ed Hillel]

And here comes a patented Geno INT following that missed throw.

!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[mauf]

That should be grounding on Smith, that ball did not cross the LoS in bounds.

Are you sure that's the rule?

Here's the digest on NFL.com; nothing about the ball needing to cross the line in bounds.

[johnmd20]

Geno es mal.

 

[Ed Hillel]

A FG for Detroit pretty much ends this.

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

And here comes a patented Geno INT following that missed throw. 

 
It's like clockwork.

 

[jsinger121]

Geno got clocked on that INT

 

[Ed Hillel]

Are you sure that's the rule?

Here's the digest on NFL.com; nothing about the ball needing to cross the line in bounds.

It's unclear, maybe you're right.

I still love how this is interpreted:

Intentional grounding will be called when a passer, facing an imminent loss of yardage due to pressure from the defense, throws a forward pass without a realistic chance of completion.

Throw it 30 yards OoB over your receiver's head = realistic chance of completion.

 

[Freddy Linn]

Geno leads the league in INTs.

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

Jesus why try for the FG? Geno sucks, he has to throw, punt'em and pin'em back. Christ.
