I'm fairly certain his offense at LSU was better than this trash.

Edward64 · 09-17-2020, 10:23 PM

Flipped back to the game, Cincy making it interesting now.

Edward64 · 09-17-2020, 11:12 PM

Burrow with a loss but was pretty good ... 3 TD, 317 yards, and a rating of 90.7.

Tom Brady Not Sure How To Ask Coach For Tape Of Other Team’s Practice

albionmoonlight · 09-18-2020, 07:11 AM

Building through the lines isn't sexy, but it is necessary.

If Cinci wants to maximize Burrow's rookie contract window, they need to spend this offseason focused to an almost unhealthy degree on improving that O-Line.

As for Cleveland, you would think that coming from that Oklahoma system, Baker would be a spread QB. But he really seems to flourish in heavy sets with a run game and lots of play action.

And, good for him, he finally seems to have a coach who understands football and can see that.

Were we a year too early in predicting a Browns breakout?

Any hope for the Browns breaking out can only end in disappointment.

But lets be real, this game will have affect the race for the first draft pick than the race for the playoffs.

More likely is that the Browns played a really good team and then a really bad team.

Atocep · 09-20-2020, 12:15 PM

Juan Castillo has worked miracles with the Bears line. Also, Harry Hiestand is terrible.

Lathum · 09-20-2020, 12:41 PM

I think Barkley just blew out his knee

Vince, Pt. II · 09-20-2020, 12:43 PM

49ers had Bosa and Solomon Thomas, their two best defensive players, carted off the field on consecutive plays. So much for positive regression on injuries.

And now Montgomery on the other side landed right on top of his head. That looked nasty.

GrantDawg · 09-20-2020, 01:17 PM

The Cowboys look really bad. They fumbled four times and lost three in the first quarter.

Niners also now missing Garoppolo, Mostert, and Coleman.

kingfc22 · 09-20-2020, 02:08 PM

Didn’t know MetLife has new turf this season. And the Niners get to play on it again next week.

Man looks like the Niners are going to be the Team of Injuries this season-any serious?

Ksyrup · 09-20-2020, 02:10 PM

Bosa got carted off, which doesn't sound good.

Vince, Pt. II · 09-20-2020, 02:22 PM

Bosa and Solomon Thomas were carted off. Garoppolo had like 100 yards and 2 TDs post-injury, they're holding him out of the second half after letting him limp around for a while. No idea what's wrong with Mostert, he looked fine.

thesloppy · 09-20-2020, 02:23 PM

I just want to remind everybody that Matt Patricia was brought in to DET specifically because Caldwell couldn't get the Lions over the hump of 9 wins a year. Also, he is still operating under a 'win now mandate' that is like 9 months old.

Edward64 · 09-20-2020, 02:35 PM

Falcons blowing a big lead. Not a big fan but that hurts a little.

Lathum · 09-20-2020, 02:58 PM

Being reported torn ACL for Barkley

Ksyrup · 09-20-2020, 03:06 PM

2 games in, not impressed with Jerry Jeudy at all.

GrantDawg · 09-20-2020, 03:06 PM

The Falcons give up a score, but stop the two point conversion keeping it a nine point game. Even though the Falcons defense gave up the td, they are at least still playing aggressive. They didn't move to the soft zone like they have most of Dan Quinn's tenure. That made the drive tick a lot of time off, and made a big difference.

Ksyrup · 09-20-2020, 03:34 PM

It's almost like every single player on the Falcons was mesmerized by how slow the Cowboys onside kick moved.

GrantDawg · 09-20-2020, 03:35 PM

Quinn should be fired before he gets on the plane. He should just be left in Dallas at this point.

Jas_lov · 09-20-2020, 03:37 PM

Yeah, that was bad. They all just stood there like they didn't know the rule.and that's on Quinn.

Holy shit Falcons.

bhlloy · 09-20-2020, 03:38 PM

At the very least there needs to be a special teams coordinator opening in Atlanta on Monday. It's basically impossible to recover an onside kick in 2020, let alone like that.

kingfc22 · 09-20-2020, 03:42 PM

Likely ACL for Bosa and Jimmy out next week.

At this point, just start a full B-team next week back on the same shit turf and keep everyone who is hobbled out like Kittle and Ford.

Ksyrup · 09-20-2020, 03:43 PM

Inexcusable, but I think what happened was it was moving so slow no one thought it would even go 10 yards, so instead of chancing a fumble by touching it, they were hoping a Cowboy would touch it first or it wouldn't even make it to the line. That's my best guess.

Sure, but even in that case you cannot allow a Cowboys player to be first to it. Just standing around and watching whether you think it's going 3 yards, 6 or 10 is just bad coaching and preparation.

albionmoonlight · 09-20-2020, 03:52 PM

The fact that the onside kick worked will obscure that it was kind of a bad onside kick strategy.

JonInMiddleGA · 09-20-2020, 04:00 PM

I have to thank the Fowlcants for providing me with the biggest laugh I've had in quite a while.

That was comedy gold.

Edward64 · 09-20-2020, 04:05 PM

I guess the bright spot is Ridley, he may have a pretty darn good season this year.

I get that, but let's say the ball isn't going more than 7 yards and you jump on it at 5 yards, only to have it squeeze out and the other team falls on it? That's what looked like the thought process. I don't know how that ball kept going, I yelled immediately that it wasn't even going to get to the 40 how terrible was that kick.

larrymcg421 · 09-20-2020, 04:29 PM

The problem is not blocking the Cowboys player. It reminds me of the Brandon Bostick play that cost the Packers a Superbowl trip. He was making a play on the ball when his job was to block the opponent so others could make a play. There was nothing stopping the Falcons from knocking the Cowboys player on his ass while that ball was rolling.

JPhillips · 09-20-2020, 04:32 PM

Tyrod Taylor is now the back-up.

Yup, this is the point. If you don’t think it’s going 10 great, but for the love of god don’t stand and let a Cowboys player get to it if it does.

Not that we should use my body as a guide posts for professional athletes, but the only time I ever pulled a chest muscle I did it doing basic stretching.

There are many adults who wouldn't get the reference, so no shame in that.

Not because they're old, but because they don't care about baseball, probably.

Thomkal · 09-20-2020, 07:11 PM

So my beloved Cards are 2-0 now, and I've not seen a single live play.

Going to go to Spectrum this week hopefully to remedy that and get RedZone back.

Ksyrup · 09-20-2020, 07:15 PM

Should be 5-0 going to Dallas.
