Week 6 Gamethread

[CoffeeNerdness]

Another kicker injury. Seems to happen quite a bit these days.

 

[Groovenstein]

Idk if it’s the lighting or my tv or what but my eyes cannot decide if these Denver unis are white or gray

 

[BaseballJones]

Watching Sony power for a first down got me thinking. You know, he's not in any world going to be considered a great NFL running back. But he's had a solid career. Really nice.

5 seasons, 3,195 career rush yards, 20 touchdowns, and was a key contributor to two Super Bowl winning teams, while earning a cool 11.5 million dollars.

Ref waited for it to be incomplete to throw the flag for PI.

Unlike the NBA where an opportunity for an and 1 exists, swallowing a PI flag on a completion makes sense from a game flow POV

And from all accounts, a really good guy. Props to him that he is set for life.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

That backup kicker looked like an extra from Fast Times. I would not sell him beer.

 

[luckiestman]

These teams look like they do not practice.

 

[Groovenstein]

Why Chargers throwing there? I don’t get it

 

[patinorange]

The Chargers awesome uniforms would look better with white pants.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Why Chargers throwing there? I don’t get it

Get a big chunk - say ten yards - to make the kick a lot easier. Look at what Hopkins looked like there.

Denver with another forty seconds is a price you pay.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Bill is a genius re: CBs

 

[Helmet Head]

JC Jackson getting torched

 

[Gash Prex]

What happened to JC Jackson? Just wide open dudes everywhere

 

[Mystic Merlin]

That’s an absurd coverage bust. That should never happen, but I have no idea what he’s thinking given the game situation.

 

[Ale Xander]

What happened to JC Jackson? Just wide open dudes everywhere

Payday happened

 

[Gash Prex]

Remember when people thought the Pat’s defense was screwed because JC Jackson left?

 

[Helmet Head]

Interception dropped by Asante Samuel

PTSD

 

[shawnrbu]

A 27 yard field goal does not take 5 seconds.

 

[j-man]

this is a nomial denver game keeping both teams in the game

 

[j-man]

u have to q the gm and elway comes out this week and says they almost hire o'connell i mean what is that

i think the plobm is hackett wants the old shanny off and wilson c'ant run it

shouild had drafted zappe give NE credit

 

[j-man]

denver needs at least 2 or 3 o-lineman this offseason

 

[j-man]

These teams look like they do not practice.

sorry my friend u are going to have to watch denver 2 weeks in a row

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Protect the QB dammit!

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Is Greg Penner actually rich himself or is it all from marrying into the Walmart fortune?

 

[glennhoffmania]

How did we get Joe and Troy instead of the great Steve Levy?

 

[E5 Yaz]

How did we get Joe and Troy instead of the great Steve Levy?

Because they are ESPN's broadcast team?

 

[MuzzyField]

How did we get Joe and Troy instead of the great Steve Levy?

Mickey Mouse is writing $30-million dollar checks.

I consider it a bargain!

 

[glennhoffmania]

Because they are ESPN's broadcast team?

Haven't Levy, Riddick and Griese done a bunch of MNF games?

 

[glennhoffmania]

Now I see- Levy does the double headers. I knew I was forced to listen to him this season at some point.

 

[jmcc5400]

And from all accounts, a really good guy. Props to him that he is set for life.

I happily root for Sony

bro, it’s week 6 and I think your squad has played 5 primetime games. I have seen them all. I’m worried about mile high, we always play like shit there. 98 championship game was a choke job.

edit: it’s 4, I didn’t see the Texans game. Raiders I saw on redzone

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Staley is an empty suit. It’s a critical 4th and 2 and you leave your best player on the sidelines? OK dude.

 

[Cellar-Door]

I have no idea what DEN's coaching strategy is. All year they split carries between Williams and Gordon. Now Williams is out, Gordon gets 100 yards, and then after 3 carries they inexplicably bench him for a guy they just signed who isn't any good.

It was theorized on the Disney show ‘The Jersey’ that one of the main characters caused the Elway bomb to Rod Smith in that game by not eating his chips in the right way. That’s how I got all my sports knowledge back then.

 

[Gash Prex]

Wilson is still hot garbage when not throwing into blown coverages

Third downs have been guaranteed blitz and have worked most of the time despite being guaranteed.

 

[E5 Yaz]

The Chargers might well win this, but the way they've played tonight is just another example of why every year people say they should have been better than their record

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

A smattering of applause by the “home” “crowd” after that crucial penalty on the D.

 

[ernieshore]

8 penalties for 126 yards…..Lewis Hamilton should just coach the Broncos.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Did, uhh, ESPN just cut away from the game in progress?

Edit: Nvm, TV timeout.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Pretty unimpressive night for Herbert.

 

[shawnrbu]

Need Hopkins to miss one of these just to see how much he will exaggerate his injury.

 

[Helmet Head]

Wilson is panic city in the pocket all night. Never seen him like that

 

[DanoooME]

Russ got happy feet in the pocket on that one. He's clearly not comfortable.

 

[worm0082]

Ooooooofffffff

 

[Helmet Head]

Denver is very poorly coached.

 

[shawnrbu]

In the grasp!

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Remember when we were so excited about AFC West games?

 

[patinorange]

In the grasp!

Defensive linemen have no idea what to do. Kid gloves on that tackle gave him the opportunity to shovel it off.
