Week 7 NFL Game Thread: We’re on to the AFCCG Preview.

The Saints have forgotten how to play.

 

[johnmd20]

HE WASN'T EVEN LOOKING AT THE BALL.

 

[shawnrbu]

Bears recover another one. Saints fatal flaw exposed.

 

[Jim Ed Rice in HOF]

I think I know what the Saints are going to work on in practice.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Saints have given up a kickoff return touchdown, and 2 onsides kicks in this game.

They should fire the ST coach on the field.

 

[Ale Xander]

jeez, I grab dinner and it's already an 11 point game

 

[Ale Xander]

Midway airport sucks. C ya

 

[Mystic Merlin]

The Doug Pederson ‘guarantee’ is so fucking tedious.

 

[Ale Xander]

When did they make the change that RZ can go past 8? Love it.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

How does taking the opening kickoff help you ‘get an extra possession’?

 

[DJnVa]

Pederson said they'll receive KO to "get that extra possession"? WTF is he talking about?

EDIT: DAMN YOU MYSTIC MERLIN

 

[Average Reds]

Is it me, or do the cowboys look like they are lining up offsides - sometimes by a lot - literally every play?

And if that’s not PI ....

 

[luckiestman]

How does taking the opening kickoff help you ‘get an extra possession’?

In a quirk of fate Mike Lombardi killed Pederson week after week of the Eagles Super Bowl season. Eagles going on to win made him look like an asshole. Looks like it might not be case closed.

 

[Greg29fan]

This is the first drive this entire season Dallas has started in their opponent's territory.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Eagles corners are bad at everything.

 

[E5 Yaz]

A $60M high school football stadium?

 

[GeorgeCostanza]

A $60M high school football stadium?

Everything is bigger in Texas.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Jenkins got run over there

 

[Average Reds]

Good thing I don’t have to spend much time on this game.

 

[kartvelo]

looked like knee down

 

[GeorgeCostanza]

Pederson looks like he’s going to vomit.

 

[luckiestman]

Imagine how much worse this would be if Dallas had the extra possession.

 

[canderson]

A $60M high school football stadium?

It’s not the best in the state anymore. Better have opened.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

He may have been down, but he was certainly inside the 1.

 

[tims4wins]

Pederson’s guarantee not aging well

 

[cshea]

Philly looks good tonight.

 

[GeorgeCostanza]

Keep running it out of the end zone jackass

 

[shawnrbu]

30 yards of penalties on Big D this drive.

 

[luckiestman]

Phi beating GB really threw me off the scent that they might suck. Their other wins are Jets and Skins with losses to Det and Falcons.

Still a lot of time left in this one for the refs to get Phi back in it.

 

[Greg29fan]

Refs well on their way to duplicating last year's game in Philly where Dallas got flagged all night and the Eagles somehow didn't commit a single penalty.

Totally agree. That was a Thursday night game too, right? Odd things happen on Thursday night games.

 

[Fred in Lynn]

8 yards, Cris

 

[luckiestman]

Ok ok, this might be watchable

 

[Helmet Head]

I thought the roughing the passer was pretty soft but the second penalty was pretty legit. Jeffery clearly dropped the ball and he still went in for a big hit.

 

[shawnrbu]

Gratuitous cheerleader camera shot. Check.

The penalty on Smith was weak but everyone knows anything near the QB will be a penalty. The hit on Jeffrey could probably be used in the NFL’s film showing an illegal hit to the head of a receiver. Obvious, easy call.

 

[luckiestman]

Nothing gratuitous about it

 

[Rico Guapo]

Is Ertz even playing? No targets?

 

[luckiestman]

Did the Boys get their OTs back? Phi is getting no pressure and the Jets were all over Dak.

 

[Reverend]

So who am I rooting for here? Do I care who wins?

Tell me how to feel, guys.

 

[SMU_Sox]

A $60M high school football stadium?

My son plays at Allen High School. The stadium would make most colleges jealous and they have more fans than one SMU...

 

[luckiestman]

Root for the Boys, makes me feel better about the Jets ass whippin of them.

 

[Reverend]

So your hypothesis is that I want you to feel better. Is that correct?

 

[luckiestman]

So your hypothesis is that I want you to feel better. Is that correct?

I’ve simply boxed you in to making a choice

 

[tims4wins]

The Eagles are obnoxious. It takes a special level of obnoxious to get me to root for the Cowboys. Yet I am there.

 

[E5 Yaz]

So who am I rooting for here? Do I care who wins?

Tell me how to feel, guys.

Rooting for the Cowboys is akin to rooting for a corporate brand, like the Yankees

Rooting for the Eagles is akin to rooting for a smug team that handed the locals a bad loss, like the Yankees

No real Pats-related angle — neither team is sniffing the Super Bowl, and the Pats play both early enough that the games are almost certain to be meaningful.

I’m rooting against Dallas. Seems like the right thing to do.

My Longview Lobos wanna fight you again.

(We know a ton of Allen peeps fwiw, hope your son’s having a good stats year)

Cowboys have SB level talent. Coaching is what holds them back.
