NFL Week 8 Game Thread

Sooo the only good game is Pitt - Cinci? This is a putrid 1pm slate.

 

[GregHarris]

Screw the leaves. I am calling in a landscaper, lord knows there are enough of them around. Pittsburgh sporting the bees today.

 

[ipol]

SF-StL is also somewhat interesting.

 

[GregHarris]

Vereen destroyed in the backfield.

 

[E5 Yaz]

The Giants @ New Orleans is also a pertinent early game ... particularly for those who want to see NY teams in crisis

 

[Ed Hillel]

Cincy's D is pedestrian.

Spoilt Murrican. I'm watching 49ers - Rams for possible Three Stooges like entertainment, Tomsula as Moe. 

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

What the hell was Mike Pettine wearing?

 

[Al Zarilla]

Who the fuck is old enough to appreciate the Steelers throwbacks?

 

[ipol]

Late recognition to get to Antonio.

 

[GregHarris]

Cincinnati D was soft on that drive.

Giants run the Seattle goal line play on fourth and goal and get a touchdown. Even with Browner on the Saints (didn't see if he was on the field for the play thought). People criticizing Pete Carroll for that call are crazy.

The people who criticize Pete are the same people who think kickers aren't football players, you need to run the ball to win in the playoffs, going for it on 4th Down is arrogant and running up the score is classless. 

 

[Maximus]

The Steelers throwback uni's are awful.

 

[shawnrbu]

Both the Saints and Steelers ran a flea flicker in the 1st Quarter today.  Weird.

 

[DanoooME]

It's a flea flicker day, 2 already, Steelers and now the Saints score on one.

 

[McBride11]

See I thought they changed the rules and said no more throwbacks? I recall us discussing we weren't going to see Pat the Patriot again.
 
edit: Maybe it was just the helmet couldn't be changed during throwbacks days. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/09/17/nfl-safety-committees-told-teams-not-to-wear-throwback-helmets/

 

[tims4wins]

Pat Patriot helmets not up to standard is the issue

Throwback uniforms are okay.  There was an issue with throwback helmets due to safety reasons.

 

[normstalls]

Was it a poor throw or a dropped pass? I guess you just say both and you can't be wrong

 

[Al Zarilla]

Reggie Bush got injured 30 yards out of bounds (hit a wall  feet first after skidding on concrete 27 1/2 yards out of bounds).

Trying to return a high kick in the corner of the endzone? Got what he deserved.

That's called a "McCown"

Why can't the pats foot the bill for new helmets with the old logo that are up to code in addition to the current ones they have?

 

[rembrat]

Brees is raping the Giants secondary. Bombs everywhere.

Haven't seen this asked / answered

 

[Ed Hillel]

Ben looks hurt again already. Or maybe the same injury.

 

[McBride11]

90% of punts have a flag thrown on them these days. Just have your team fair catch it and tell your gunners to not block if they get even with you.

 

[Al Zarilla]

And before that, a Gus Frerotte.

Ya. I edited my posted with a PFT article saying its the helmet but teams can replace the logos etc. So, just scrape off the silver paint, slap some white and Pat on. Good to go.

 

[normstalls]

I've had a vodka soda or two,but is it just me or did that ref just totally bungle that announcement?

Throwback day!

 

[Cellar-Door]

Awesome fumble forced in ATL.
Julio jones running in the open field, LB catches him from behind, rips the ball away and turns around and runs a 15 yard return.

Throwback helmets were never old helmets.  They've always been current helmets with old graphics.  The issue, I guess, is simply re-fitting all the players with a second helmet, which really isn't a very big deal.

 

[ipol]

Flicked over to the SF-StL game. 3-2. Bottom of the sixth, as my dad used to joke.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Gee ... Jadeveon Clowney was injured again.

Isn't it pretty well known that Kraft hated the old unis? Is it so much that he won't even put up with an occasional throwback uni game, though?

Did he write his own material?

 

[ipol]

Perhaps. Born in the 20's so it's not impossible.

Bad execution both sides, but, yeah, Bumgarner over Wainwright.

My wife was watching with me last week and she remarked that she didnt realize Reggie Bush was on the team.  I said yeah because he has gotten hurt after about 2 snaps in the 2 maybe 3 games he's been in this year. If that.  I've never seen somone so injury prone.  Jesus-

Odd to consider how close we are to having to be more specific

 

[Section15Box113]

Two big Browner penalties on that drive. That's why he's no longer a Patriot.

 

[McBride11]

Gee ... Jadeveon Clowney was injured again.

 
Seeee. He was smart to sit out all those games his final year at SCar.

I was going to say the Ellsbury of football, but I liked Ellsbury a lot when the Sox had him. Guess I've said it now though.

Lol Pacman

You be you, Pacman.

Atlanta just keeps shooting themselves in the foot.
