[Morgan's Magic Snowplow]

That’s a pretty sweet lineup of national broadcasts.

 

[InstaFace]

Let's go ex-Pats QBs!

For the first time all season I'm actually excited for a TNF game, shit-show though it may be.

I can't believe how much of the country gets NE @ WAS as their CBS game (and plenty on the west coast, where it'll air at 10:00am!). BUF @ TEN is objectively a much better game, and it's absurd that there's only one CBS late game.

 

[Nator]

So there are only 2 late games on Sunday?

 

[DJnVa]

Yep. At least 1 looks like it should be pretty good.

NFL Red Zone gonna be boring.

That is a brutal Red Zone afternoon. It's going to be a lot of Hanson running down the 1pm games.

Interesting to me that CBS is using the Nantz/Romo team on the late Chargers/Broncos game. Who's going to watch that instead of Green Bay-Dallas?

No really good early game for them though. Most of the CBS games are bad.

 

[Time to Mo Vaughn]

Is tonight's game supposed to be 4k HDR again?

Anybody know if they got it fixed so it'll actually work tonight?

 

[Reverend]

Is my TV broken?

 

[DanoooME]

Blessing that they only gave up 3 there.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Yeah that’s a nice hold.

 

[Reverend]

I don’t usually care about uniforms, but I think I would quit watching sports if I had to watch these unis in a regular basis.

Go Rams, I guess.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Who knew that if you gave Todd Gurley handoffs from something other than draws from the shotgun, he's pretty good.

 

[staz]

Thirty years ago, these unis are exactly what we were afraid the kinds of unis we'd see in 30 years.

 

[DanoooME]

OK offense, time to get the heads out of asses.

They’ve run some blasts and trap plays rather than running stretch run after stretch run into a 5-6 man DL.

 

[InstaFace]

If you don't like commercials, the USWNT is playing South Korea in their "victory tour" on FS1. Korea's midfield has been fantastic, held their own despite being thoroughly outclassed on paper.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Aaron Donald is a monster. I love watching him. I focus on him every play he's on the field, until he's not in the play, and it's amazing to watch.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Holy shit Lockett. Catch of the year candidate

 

[DanoooME]

Fucking amazing catch Tyler.

 

[staz]

Best grab of a Wilson pass since Butler's

 

[DanoooME]

That was a reverse Seahawks series by the Rams: pass, pass, pass, punt

 

[Dollar]

What the hell was going on with that punt? They blew the play dead but just let it keep going and play out?

 

[DanoooME]

Nice senton by Donald there.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

I don't know how you don't double Donald on every down. He's just eating the lunch and dinner of any offensive lineman they put him up against.

 

[DanoooME]

The worst was when they had Iupati pull from left guard and try to block Donald in the gap where the RG and RT were (who released upfield)

 

[luckiestman]

Apple should have lit the $7b on fire

 

[DanoooME]

Surprised the Rams haven't run a fake punt yet.

 

[DanoooME]

RussLOL

 

[Deathofthebambino]

I just love Russell Wilson. He's my favorite QB in the NFL not named Tom Brady.

 

[InstaFace]

Just goes to show if you give an NFL QB 10 seconds, they can usually find an open receiver.

 

[luckiestman]

The Sqwaks uniforms look like my piss if I eat too many vitamins.

 

[DanoooME]

YESSSSSSSS!!!

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Best deep ball thrower in the NFL, Russell Wilson.

 

[luckiestman]

Bro was wide open. So many good young receivers this year. That seems rare.

 

[DanoooME]

Aikman did mention how poorly the Rams have been playing zone lately. That was a prime example. It was a bunch of guys back there that had no idea what each other were doing.

 

[SMU_Sox]

I was on the DK is an overrated prospect bandwagon. Great fit in Seattle. Probably going to eat the L on that one.

 

[axx]

Or maybe R&D on a real laptop keyboard?

Peters and Talib love to freelance

EDIT - although that one may have been on the S.

 

[axx]

The Seahawks almost blew getting that fumble too.

 

[DanoooME]

Wow, that's close

 

[Dollar]

Looks out, I can't see that being reversed.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Wow, that's close

We only get 2 replay angles, on a national broadcast.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Wow, that's close

It's out, but I agree with Pereira. If that isn't a whistle for forward progress, I'm not sure what would be. Gurley's head was almost on the ground when the ball came out. He's clearly not moving forward, but if you fight for extra yards, sometimes that happens. It took a whole lot of work to get the ball from him though. He doesn't fumble often.

 

[axx]

That was right on the money.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

The loft Wilson puts on the deep ball is a thing of beauty.

 

[bigq]

That throw and catch was outstanding. Wilson is really impressive.

 

[Couperin47]

ridiculously pretty at both ends....

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Wilson is feeling it tonight.
