Week 4 NFL Game Thread

[crystalline]

Oh look, another check down.

Weeden just made two great throws, looking off the safety on the second.

 

[k-factory]

This Dallas team is going to get rolled next week.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Browner blows him up

 

[semsox]

OT in this game is what this week deserves

 

[Bosoxen]

This Dallas team is going to get rolled next week.

In other news, water is wet.

 

[dynomite]

Weeden just made two great throws, looking off the safety on the second.

Yup. Just as I post that these games have been meh Weeden makes the two best throws of the night.

 

[luckiestman]

Whoopi rape rape is going to be on SVU? That's great

 

[crystalline]

For good reason. The number of flags thru week 3 was very substantially up through the same period last year. It is unwatchable at times.

We need a thread on "You're an NFL owner. Are we at an NFL peak, and what's your 10 year plan if so?"

Are team values likely to continue to go up? If not, do you milk the next 2-5 years for all they're worth then get rid of the team?

 

[rembrat]

LOL WUT

 

[Dogman]

Nice throw.

 

[Bosoxen]

Holy shit!

 

[semsox]

That was......unexpected

 

[luckiestman]

Don't North Dallas 40 the EP

 

[crystalline]

Best three throws, now. I think a gold bar just aappeared in Weedens pants.

Yup. Just as I post that these games have been meh Weeden makes the two best throws of the night.

Well you're not wrong, the last few min aren't making up for the meh.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Patriots headphones are going to malfunction next week.

 

[Bosoxen]

This is too much time for Brees. Dallas still loses this game in regulation.

 

[Stitch01]

But today brought the first effing time I ever saw a WR tackle himself by running into the shoulder of a DB, only to have the DB flagged for unnecessary roughness.

Hahahah that call was so bad. DB legit didn't even make a tackling attempt guess he was supposed to apparate.

How is Rob Ryan employed still?

 

[PedroSpecialK]

...did Payton really just call a timeout?

 

[Dollar]

What an idiotic timeout.

 

[Greg29fan]

This is too much time for Brees. Dallas still loses this game in regulation.

 
then Sean Payton wastes his last timeout to complain about a play they reviewed

 

[Catcher Block]

Payton just burned his last TO to yell at the refs on a call he can't challenge. Wow.

 

[amarshal2]

It was like Weeden thought it was and goal. Made for an exciting play but the level of difficulty was way higher than it needed to be.

 

[86spike]

Timeouts? Payton don't need no stinking timeouts.

 

[dynomite]

Why did Payton just burn their last timeout to whine!!?!?!

 

[Bosoxen]

 
then Sean Payton wastes his last timeout to complain about a play they reviewed

Someone check that man for a brain slug.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Chris Webber is shaking his head

 

[86spike]

Saints playing for OT. WTF?

 

[Al Zarilla]

Someone check that man for a brain slug.

Earwig. Alfred Hitchcock.

 

[luckiestman]

Do people not spike the ball anymore?

Guess Brees don't need to

 

[Freddy Linn]

That TO would be pretty handy right now.

 

[rembrat]

Damn.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Of course doesn't look like it matters, Brees taking over

 

[canderson]

Quick loss for Dallas. Super defense there.

 

[shawnrbu]

This is why Drew Brees is a 1st Ballot HOF.

 

[amarshal2]

That was....impressive.

 

[Dogman]

Yeah, they aren't playing for OT.

 

[Bosoxen]

Earwig. Alfred Hitchcock.

I prefer the Futurama reference.

 

[86spike]

Wacky

 

[lars10]

That TO would be pretty handy right now.

Unless Dallas calls it for you?  Would've been nice to force them to run up to the line to spike it, no?

 

[shawnrbu]

Do people not spike the ball anymore?

Guess Brees don't need to

 
Dallas D was all out of sorts.  Shrewd decision not to spoke it by Brees.

 

[Dollar]

I hate that timeout, too.  What the fuck is going on here?

 

[Al Zarilla]

Don't know if I want OT or an outright NO win now.

 

[semsox]

So take a knee here, spike on 3rd down, then kick on 4th?
 
whoops: didn't realize Dallas had all of their TOs

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

One more horrific kicker miss to round out the day?

 

[amarshal2]

WTF is Garrett doing with these time outs.

 

[cshea]

Stupid of Dallas to use the TO's. Make the Saints try and hurry to get the spike, their best shot is a cluster fuck resulting in a procedure penalty and a run off.

 

[scottyno]

Unless Dallas calls it for you?  Would've been nice to force them to run up to the line to spike it, no?

they had plenty of time, if dallas doesn't call timeout they can run it down to 5 seconds and spike it

 

[rembrat]

Why are they using their timeouts?

 

[Bosoxen]

WTF is Garrett doing with these time outs.

Sparing is the horrific attempt to ice the kicker.

 

[Stitch01]

First thing I'd do as NFL owner is tell my coach he's not making clock management decisions, good lord these timeout calls are so terrible.
