Week 2 Game Thread

[tims4wins]

Interesting game tonight. Hard to believe that a team that lost 20-0 at home in week 1 is a 6 point favorite. I expect the Houston D to bounce back and completely shut down Cincy much like Baltimore did, and for Watson to perform adequately enough to lead the Texans to a W.

Decent slate of games for Boston this weekend.

Tonight:
8:25pm
Texans @ Bengals (This could be the season for either of these teams, but if 9-7 will win the AFC South -- likely? -- that's probably not the case)

1pm
CBS: Pats @ Saints
FOX: Vikings @ Steelers

4:25pm
FOX: Dallas @ Denver

8:30pm:
NBC: Packers @ Falcons

Monday
8:30pm:
ESPN: Lions @ Giants

Thursday night has a pretty good track record for games and given how well these 2 teams performed last week I am really excited for this...

Punts and penalties, baby. What could be better?

 

[cshea]

Nice, crisp start to this game. Bungles pick up a block in the back, illegal hands to the face, and a false start on their first 4 plays.

 

[DanoooME]

Nick Vigil looks like Kurt Busch

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

The Bengals are looking extra Bengalsy tonight.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

A first down! Everyone drink.

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

These are two horrible looking teams.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Ok, we're in business now. Absent a turnover or two holdings, Houston looks like it should get a field goal and avoid a 0-0 tie.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Might want to get that AJ Green guy the ball. Just a thought.

 

[BigSoxFan]

And there you go

 

[McBride11]

This just in - AJ Green still really good

Was great juxtaposed against Collinsworth saying they need to go away from Green more.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Shoulda traded Brissett for Geno Atkins. /EEI

 

[BigSoxFan]

3rd and 2 handoff to Bernard off tackle. Solid play call.

 

[twibnotes]

Good to know Mixon signs autographs for kids.

What a joke that guys like that have a place in the league

 

[ngruz25]

Is Tyler Eifert alive?

 

[bankshot1]

this is just bad football.

 

[OurF'ingCity]

I appreciate the Bengals and Texans for showing fans of today what football must have been like circa 1965.

 

[cshea]

Good throw there

2 in a row!

 

[soxhop411]

I love the NFL

 

[BigSoxFan]

Dalton is AWFUL

 

[bankshot1]

football in 1965 involved smaller guys, but they could play pretty good physical football

 

[OurF'ingCity]

Dalton might actually have the football version of the yips...how do you screw up a throw that badly?

 

[The Big Red Kahuna]

First one to 4 wins.

 

[Bongorific]

Is Tyler Eifert alive?

Seriously. He's been legit when healthy.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Watson's thought process:

Progression 1: Covered

Progression 2: n/a

 

[The Big Red Kahuna]

Watson's thought process:

Progression 1: Covered

Progression 2: n/a

I laughed.

 

[jmm57]

Watson's thought process:

Progression 1: Covered

Progression 2: n/a

And yet his reads might be more advanced than his accuracy?

 

[BigSoxFan]

Wow!

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

OMG I love Geno Atkins.

 

[BigSoxFan]

This kind of reminds me of Brissett's start against Houston.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Nice run and drive

 

[cshea]

Marvin gonna kneel on this?

 

[BigSoxFan]

Joseph being out would help a lot next week.

 

[Valek123]

Watson in space is fun to watch.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Locker room is going to be buzzing after that massive three points before the half.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

There's a big difference between starting on the 16 and the 25, Chris? There's a difference, sure. But a big difference? Not tonight, Chris. Not tonight.

 

[Sox and Rocks]

When did Dalton get so bad? Why don't they play McCaron?

 

[54thMA]

Oh goodie, Rams at 49ers next Thursday; we'll see if there are more players on the field than fans in the stands.

The NFL has a problem

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Just keep running at Geno, brilliant.

 

[54thMA]

The NFL has a problem

Yes they do, they moved two teams to LA, one that can't sell out a 27,000 seat soccer stadium and another that's stuck in a shithole of a stadium for what, 3 years if I am not mistaken? They couldn't draw flies to that stadium last week.

And the 49ers; that stadium is almost an hour from San Francisco and is a sauna, whoever the moron is who did the planning really screwed the pooch, reminds me of the old outdoor stadium the Cardinals played at when they moved to Arizona.

Yup, they've got a problem, but fear not, Captain Smith in NY will guide the NFL ship through this rough patch around that iceberg dead ahead.

 

[OurF'ingCity]

Man CIncy is gonna be really, really bad this year huh?

 

[54thMA]

Man CIncy is gonna be really, really bad this year huh?

If Lewis survives after this season, I want him picking lottery numbers for me.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

If you're Texas, stay in bounds. A TD still makes it a one-score game.

 

[eddiew112]

Finally called one on Hopkins

 

[DanoooME]

Yep, welcome to Thursday Night Football.

 

[ngruz25]

That was the best play Cincy could run on 4th down with the game on the line? Woof.

 

[dynomite]

Yep, welcome to Thursday Night Football.

Only a week until next week's clash of the titans: Jared Goff vs. Brian Hoyer!!!!

Getcha popcorn ready!!!!
