Week #1 NFL game thread

[edmunddantes]

Are the 49er cheerleaders wearing latex uniforms?

I also still can't see the timeout bars either.

 

[shawnrbu]

How many years do you think it will be before the NFL starts doing two Monday night games every week, all season?
 
I say one year.

 
I'm not sure.  That would mean only like 10 games on Sunday when we are in the middle of the year with a portion of teams having a bye.  Plus, the second MNF game does end too late for most of the country.

These Niners uniforms should have gold numbers with red trim. Not a fan of just the red numbers. Matte black helmets would have been cool too, if it weren't a health risk.

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

Dilfer sounds like Chris Farley on a grapefruit diet.

 

[Three10toLeft]

If you can't see the timeout bars, maybe you should check your aspect ratio settings on your TV. Not sure what the problem with them is.

 

[Freddy Linn]

So I couldn't see the TOs on ESPN but I can when streaming. I guess I need to adjust my settings, and it looks like I'm not alone.

edit: whoa, 310

Ha. Nice job.

I'm not doing anything that ESPN wants me to do.

"Kaepernick is gonna run.  No he won't!  Yes he will!"
 
Shut the fuck up Berman.

Yeah, it's "play-by-play" not "step-by-step".

sometimes i think that the night after winning his second ring, eli had particularly vivid and compelling dream where he imagined that his sole remaining purpose in life is to make pats fans everywhere constantly wonder how the fuck we lost two super bowls to him.

Thanks a million for this; I can finally now sleep at night wrapped in this blanket of a post, reassuring me that this scenario actually happened and puts a nice, red, wonderful bow on those two absolutely perplexing, soul crushing losses to that shitkicker of a QB and that Grampa Abe Simpson of a fucking coach.

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

LOL Niners!

Chris Berman and Trent Dilfer may be the worst announcing combo in the history of the NFL. 

Joe and Tim beg to differ.

 

[lambeau]

Well, Coughlin and Chip cost their teams wins--I'm willing to bet Tomsula will make the Trifecta. This is not a well-coached team. Tomsula looks flabbergasted.

Coughlin didn't cost the Giants the win ... it was Eli

 

[mauidano]

Nice throw Bridgewater.

 

[canderson]

These uniforms are goddamn hideous.

 

[ipol]

Little over-hyped for Teddy? It happens.

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

Thank God for Ghost. 

 

[Three10toLeft]

Not a single rush for Adrian? Really?

 

[mauidano]

And to Eli's credit, he is really owning up to it.

 

[edmunddantes]

Bizarre. I have to take my TV out of a non-altered view (16*9 aspect with no zoom or anything else) into a screen fit view in order to see the full ESPN scoreboard with the bars. Even in 4*3 aspect they didn't show up.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Gotta put the ball in AP's hands.

Based on preseason seems like Walsh is one of the kickers mentally spooked by the new xp.

 

[Three10toLeft]

"The Big Bell Bottom"

Die Berman.

 

[Freddy Linn]

Blair Walsh caught Mason Crosbitis. It'll pass.

 

[lambeau]

Eli certainly helped, but Coughlin said he called the bonehead pass--covering for Eli?

 

[Deathofthebambino]

If you're going to come out and run fake handoffs to AP to catch the defense off guard, don't do it out of the fucking shotgun.  Jesus Christ, run a normal play action.

LOLLLLLLL

 

[ifmanis5]

Rocked.

 

[( . ) ( . ) and (_!_)]

That was an awesome hit.

 

[Three10toLeft]

Wow. Differ sounds silly.

 

[Dollar]

Mo Lewis would have been proud of that hit.

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

Reggie Bush hurt? SHOCKING

 

[edmunddantes]

Bush might have tiptoed because he pulled something. Maybe an Achilles?

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

LOL encroachment doesn't work that way, son.

 

[( . ) ( . ) and (_!_)]

The amount of bad football played in the NFL on any given week is kind of staggering.

 

[Dollar]

Great attempt at drawing a penalty, since they weren't going for it anyways.  False start didn't hurt them.

 

[Freddy Linn]

That was hysterical.

 

[MarcSullivaFan]

My god this man is a genius:

Tomsula looks like a character that was killed off in the first season of The Sopranos.

He looks greasier than a bucket of KFC

The pass isn't a bad call. It's a call to seal the win, if it's there you take it, if not take the sack and run the clock.
Eli's execution was shitty.

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

Fuck the Niners. Because Mangini. 

 

[mauidano]

"Feel good story"...LOL!  Awkward.

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

Football. Ironic. 

 

[Van Everyman]

This game is a special teams abortion thus far

 

[Freddy Linn]

Oh no

 

[mauidano]

As horrible as these teams are, Minnesota will be punting again and the Aussie dude will get more shots.

 

[ifmanis5]

They do know AP is back with the team, right?
