Week 2 NFL Game Thread

[kartvelo]

As was that

 

[Jnai]

What the fuck is that throw? It's into like 3 defenders.

 

[Harry Hooper]

What the fuck is that throw? It's into like 3 defenders.

And short too.

 

[MuppetAsteriskTalk]

The nice thing about tonight is I'm thrilled to see either team lose.

 

[ObstructedView]

Maybe just run

 

[rodderick]

Horrific swing pass followed by pick into triple coverage. Awesome.

 

[Captaincoop]

Can the NFL end the yellow gloves...asking for the tenth straight year.

 

[Gash Prex]

The quarterback play I’ve watched today from veteran QBs has been horrific except for a few

 

[rodderick]

How is that incomplete??? Are you kidding me?

 

[Harry Hooper]

Ball didn't reach LOS

 

[heavyde050]

That was clear grounding.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

C’mon Cris, that’s grounding even if he’s outside the tackle box - which he wasn’t - because it didn’t reach the LOS

 

[Gash Prex]

Cris and Michael has no idea if it was grounding and had no confidence to give any comment until the officials made the announcement - it’s inexcusable these guys don’t even know the rules

 

[Harry Hooper]

C’mon Cris, that’s grounding even if he’s outside the tackle box - which he wasn’t - because it didn’t reach the LOS

Short by what, 14 yards?

 

[Cellar-Door]

Why is BAL coming out throwing on 1st down? You're playing the Chiefs, who have a great offense... the Chief's defense has shown no indication they can stop your running attack... you have the best read option QB in the league.... RUN THE DAMN BALL

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Al, I dunno about COVID quips.

 

[OurF'ingCity]

Cris and Michael has no idea if it was grounding and had no confidence to give any comment until the officials made the announcement - it’s inexcusable these guys don’t even know the rules

Yeah that whole sequence was terrible. Honestly seemed like they just didn’t want it to be grounding and then came up with nonexistent rules to support that desire.

 

[Harry Hooper]

He can't help Lamar from the sideline, Chris.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Hot take:

The "washed" Devonta Freeman is still better than Ty'Son Williams

 

[vadertime]

How is my yahoo fantasy football stat-tracker 2 plays ahead of TV?

 

[rodderick]

I've never seen a receiver provide more wide open throws than Travis Kelce. He's ridiculous.

 

[kartvelo]

Seems like there are always four Ravens within five yards of every wide open KC catch

 

[rodderick]

That's the greatest incompletion of the season so far. Wow.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

The Chiefs have become more, and not less, reliant on Hill and Kelce over the past three plus years.

 

[Cellar-Door]

The Ravens are a better team when Hollywood Brown is hurt. Not because he isn't good, but because then Lamar can't fuck up his progressions trying to force the ball to him. Tried like 5 times to get it to him on that play instead of the easy 12 yards to a wide open Andrews.

 

[shawnrbu]

Chiefs D allowed 6 TD on 6 red zone trips this season.

This is a good observation. Hollywood isn’t nearly as good as Lamar thinks he is.

Honey Badger had no interest in getting dirty there. Pretty pathetic rep for the KC run D as a whole.

 

[pokey_reese]

Chiefs have had a nice cushion, but still have to stop the run. They look worse than the Pats on D line.

 

[rodderick]

Chiefs defense looks incredibly soft.

 

[kartvelo]

Quite the pile push there

 

[Cellar-Door]

Chiefs defense looks incredibly soft.

CLE chewed them up BAD last week, only a really bad Baker Mayfield throw kept them from giving up that game.

 

[kartvelo]

Do they not teach to wrap people up on tackles anymore? I've been watching pinball all day.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Limited practice time instituted with last CBA.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Queen backing into reverse on the tackle down to the 2.

 

[kartvelo]

Ravens defense has their heels buried in the turf

 

[shawnrbu]

I thought Queen was a thumper. He got driven back by a scatback.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Second straight week the Ravens have looked like a bottom 3rd defense.
This feels like a team in decline. Wouldn't be surprised to see them miss the playoffs

 

[rodderick]

I thought Queen was a thumper. He got driven back by a scatback.

Hasn't he been a massive disappointment thus far?

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Ravens D is quietly not that great. And it ain’t because Marcus Peters isn’t out there.

 

[Ralphwiggum]

Limited practice time instituted with last CBA.

In the post-game today Mac was saying he needs to improve ball security but mentioned they have to find other ways because of the limited hitting in practice (or for the QBs no hitting).

 

[Cellar-Door]

To be fair it's been like 40 years since anyone got to hit a QB in practice, that isn't the CBA

 

[Cellar-Door]

Lamar Jackson is such an insanely good runner

 

[rodderick]

Nice little drive here

 

[patinorange]

Nice little drive here

Pretty impressive.

 

[shawnrbu]

Is Tucker a lock for Canton?

 

[tims4wins]

WTF was that D from the Chiefs on the play before the FG. You know they have to throw short and to the sidelines. That was really conservative. They think the Ravens would risk throwing deep and have the clock run out?

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Michaels is the only person I've ever hear pronounce kibosh cuh-bosh.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

KC typically has a ‘pressure tough defense’, Drew? I see.

 

[Harry Hooper]

OK, it was only a 43-yard kick, so taking some license:

 

[staz]

Michaels is the only person I've ever hear pronounce kibosh cuh-bosh.

Also in the minority with his, "New-Or-Lee-Ans"

But Brees' rug is worse than any of that.
