The NFL Thread

[Dan]

Fucking hell Cincy, get your shit together :D I already feel like an idiot for trusting them.

[Pleb]

Diggs :cool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

John 'Smoke' Brown :drool:

He and Flacco had some great chemistry during the pre-season so good to see it's continuing.

[Dan]

Yeah, it's good to see Smokey healthy. Better to see Diggs donning it though.

EDIT: That O-Line is going to ruin the Texans.

[Dan]

I feel like the Ravens can already start running the clock out. Not much chance Buffalo are going to score 14pts on them today.

[Pleb]

Benching Cousins for Big Ben has fucked me in the ass in TTH standard :moop:

[Giggles]

Red Zone is bollocks.

[Dan]

Marquise Goodwin down on the field at the minute.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Tavon Young, our slot corner back, already has 2 sacks of Pickterman.

[Dan]

Someone get a gif of that Big Ben run.

[Pleb]

What a drop :|

[Dan]

That roughing the passer call on Myles Garrett is pretty bad, to be fair.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That roughing the passer call on Myles Garrett is pretty bad, to be fair.

Yeah, I don't like that new rule.

It's not like they're trying to 'drive them into the ground'.

It's because of the Rodgers collarbone injuries and it's crap.

[Dan]

Looks like our linebackers still can't cover for shit.

Fournette being checked for a hamstring injury. That'll be nice for my TTH matchup if he loses some snaps.

[Giggles]

That roughing the passer call on Myles Garrett is pretty bad, to be fair.

That was the end of the NFL for me tonight. And it's not even a bad call, it's actually the rules. Ridiculous.

[Pleb]

That fumble from Cook :D

[Dan]

Fuck sake Dalvin, that was a great run until you chucked the ball away :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Bills up to 17 total yards.

[Dan]

Yeah, Houston needs to use all their picks & cap space on getting some competent offensive linemen. Watson is going to get the shit kicked out of him this season - if the Patriots can get this much pressure on them imagine what it'll be like when they play the Jags twice.

[thommo]

Big Ben... :rolleyes:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Saints on the ropes.

[Dan]

We've not won either of our first two games four seasons in a row. Looks like it could be five.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Pickterman picked off.

[Dan]

Peterman's going to be playing the first four games now matter how bad he is, just because of how hard the schedule is.

Denzel Ward has two picks :cool:

[Dan]

Cheers for blowing the whistle on that catch, refs :moop: I thought the whole thing was to just let the play continue then sort it by review, but apparently not.

Nevermind, he's scored anyway :flex:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Peterman's going to be playing the first four games now matter how bad he is, just because of how hard the schedule is.

Denzel Ward has two picks :cool:

It seems that he's defected to our team anyway:

1038855168740098049

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That's a mad catch by Gronk.

Clever by them to hurry up as it probably would have gotten reversed.

[Dan]

RG3 & Loomar to play the second half?

Flacco jogging around & lobbing a pass back across his body to John Brown with Jay Cutler-esque casualness pretty much sums up how easy this game is for Baltimore.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That's great toe tapping by Crabtree.

RG3 is inactive so Loomar will take it.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

We have more points than they have yards right now.

[Dan]

Barkley nearly got his neck broken on that one :|

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Yeah that was horrible.

I liked that run there by Barkley, looks like he's going down for -3/4, puts the defender on his arse and then turns the other way for +3/4.

Shame about the hold which ruled it out.

[Dan]

Jimmy G & Watson both getting exposed here.

Honey Badger making plays so far.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

All of our new WR's have scored TD's today :drool:

[Dan]

Okay, let's just get it out the way...

Bills wins on the season. Over/under 1.5?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Under, their schedule is brutal.

They'll only get a chance against the Jets.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

And there's another pick (almost returned) for us.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Luck isn't going to last the season with this O-Line.

[Dan]

Peterman's going to be playing the first four games now matter how bad he is, just because of how hard the schedule is.

Nevermind, Josh Allen is in.

There are going to be riots about all these roughing the passer calls.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

And he's already been sacked.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

5/18 for 24 yards and 2 interceptions.

Good day for Peterman.

Loomar is in now.

[Limoutsonik]

#Fitzmagic

[Dan]

Great catch from Dante Pettis there. Good throw from Jimmy G too.

Let's pretend the Saints aren't playing :moop:

[Limoutsonik]

3 teams i streamed Saints DEF. Shiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Josh Allen has decided to just run it.

11 yards and then 14 yards.

[Dan]

I mean, it doesn't even matter at this point.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Jimmy G dream is over.

[Dan]

Ohio State rookie DE Sam Hubbard playing fullback for the Bengals on that Mixon TD :cool:

I thought about watching the Saints game today. I'm so glad I stuck with RedZone.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Texans defender just got knocked out.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Ohio State rookie DE Sam Hubbard playing fullback for the Bengals on that Mixon TD :cool:

He's no Patrick Ricard.

[Dan]

Texans defender just got knocked out.

Kevin Johnson, who's already got history with concussions. Not good.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That was lovely by Barkley.

[Dan]

Not sure how you can be expected to tackle the QB, then magically let go, fetch a mattress & place it underneath them before they hit the ground, but that seems to be the only way to avoid a roughing the passer penalty now.

Saquon :cool: Seems to have been a typical game for him really - lots of not much, then suddenly goes into evasion mode & breaks a long one.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Yeah, it's absolute bollocks.

[Dan]

Fred Warner has had a great game for San Fran from what I've seen. He & Reuben Foster could be a great pairing at linebacker for the next decade.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

AJ Green really does like putting the ball on the floor.

[Dan]

Someone buy AJ Green some new gloves.

[Dan]

That block from the Cleveland lineman on Tyrod's run :| Didn't see who it was but I hope it was Desmond Harrison, the UDFA who's starting at LT for them.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Conner :harold:

[Dan]

Myles Garrett making plays.

[Limoutsonik]

Browns win?

[Dan]

I feel like Odell Beckham & Michael Thomas have caught every pass in every game today.

[Dan]

That might be the worst QB power I've ever seen from the Texans :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Myles Garrett is wrecking Big Ben.

[Dan]

Yeah, that defence is going to be pretty fucking good :drool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That Bengals defender has made a couple of big plays today, he's pretty fast as well.

I know his name but fuck spelling it.

[Dan]

Well at least I got that pick right.

[niko_cee]

lol at that neutral zone infraction, dear lord.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

What a Giants way to lose a game.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

1038876806651162624

We should have played him at WR last season.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Kenneth Dixon with a TD :alan:

It's his season.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

RIP in pieces Jimmy G.

[Dan]

Harrison Smith has been everywhere today.

[Dan]

Hang on, the Bills scored points? Fucking disgraceful.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Tyreek Hill is a fucking monster.

91 yard punt return TD for the first touch of the season.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'm glad that they decided to sack off half-time in the Dolphins game.

Would have taken the piss had they done it after a 2 hour break.

[Dan]

Cleveland's gonna Cleveland

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Cleveland's gonna Cleveland

Bless 'Em.

[Dan]

1038885068046061570

[Dan]

Not sure if anyone has noticed, but Tyreek Hill is fast.

[Dan]

Michael Thomas is currently on pace for 256 catches, 2880 yards & 16 TDs for the season :flex:

[Dan]

I want my 'Titans win the AFC South' pick back.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Earl Thomas was only activated yesterday. What a guy.

[Dan]

So typically Browns to take this game all the way to overtime, get multiple chances to win the game, then shank a punt & lose to a FG.

Not a great start for my Denver prediction either.

EDIT: Right Cleveland, you've had so many let-offs here, go and win this fucking game (or throw a pick six).

EDIT: Immediate three-and-out taking almost no time off the clock at all :D

[Dan]

What a fucking catch that was from Tyreek. I don't know why I didn't draft him more.

EDIT: Phillip Lindsay & Derwin James :cool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Browns :drool:

[Browning]

If the Browns bottle this now....

[Dan]

The Browns had better buy their entire defence dinner for the rest of the week, regardless of whether they win or lose.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fuck sake :face:

[Dan]

Why did we expect anything else? :D

[thommo]

What an absolute shitshow in Cleveland. :face:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Titans/Dolphins will never finish.

[Dan]

Specialist blocking tight end Will Dissly appears to have turned into Gronk since he got drafted.

[Dan]

Turns out Ryan Fitzpatrick has his own Cpt. Andrew Luck Twitter account. (https://twitter.com/MajorRyanFitz) :cool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That was quality by Sanders.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That drop by Benjamin, fucking hell.

[Dan]

AP looking good early in the season.

[Dan]

These calls on QB 'hits' are fucking terrible. Flagging Chandler Jones for jumping on a QB who'd picked up a fumble being the latest.

[Browning]

Seems a bit obvious to say it now, but I couldn't understand why all the so called fantasy "experts" were claiming Rivers would be a top QB option this week. He's always fucking shit against the Chiefs.

[Dan]

They do always beat the Chargers...

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fantasy experts overrate Rivers massively, they all have him in low Tier 1/high Tier 2 of QBs.

[Dan]

Chad Kelly is going to see the field this season, probably pretty soon if Case keeps on chucking picks as soon as he gets the ball.

[Browning]

The Titans Vs Dolphins is now the longest game of all time.

What happens if they can't finish it?

[Dan]

Chad Kelly is going to see the field this season, probably pretty soon if Case keeps on chucking picks as soon as he gets the ball.

Might get Josh Rosen too at this rate.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

They'd get them to play it either tomorrow or the day after I believe.

I'm sure that's what happened the last time Tampa had a game delayed due to thunder.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I've been practising in my back garden, Broncos should give me a call.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Mahomes runs strangely and his shitty little rolls to try and stop himself getting hurt are weird as fuck.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Butt, heh.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That's a brilliant catch by Thomas.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Kick off return for both the Titans and the Dolphins.

[Gray Fox]

Making up for lost time.

[Dan]

Man, the Titans are fucking terrible. Where's Mariota gone, by the way?

EDIT: Mariota's got an apparent elbow injury, and now it looks like Delanie Walker might've fucked his ankle. Pretty much couldn't have gone any worse for the Titans here. Taylor Lewan's gone out too, so they're pretty much looking at 6 wins now.

[Gray Fox]

Walkers either broken his leg or his ankle, if not both. This could be the season gone in game 1.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I liked that TD run, it made Clay Matthews look like a fool which is always good.

Run option and he decides to take neither the QB or RB.

[Gray Fox]

Oh hello Chicago. Where have you been?

[Gray Fox]

This is so weird. It's as if the teams swapped Jerseys before the game.

Rodgers could be hurt too.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Aaron Rodgers is far too brittle.

[Gray Fox]

He did have a rather large man fall right on his knee.

I'd be surprised if that's not at the least an ACL/MCL sprain. At worst it's a tear or a small fracture of something in the leg.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

ALREADY PAYING OFF.

That's an investment.

[Gray Fox]

The hush in the stadium. This is crazy.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

:eyemouth:

Money well spent.

[Gray Fox]

Fucking wow.

Rodgers may not want to make it back this season. He's got to face this again and the Vikings twice. What were the Raiders thinking not paying Mack whatever he wanted?

Oh and Delaine Walker dislocated his ankle and fractured the lower part of his leg. Done for the season(obviously).

[Gray Fox]

Sending Rodgers back in here is just asking for trouble.

[Giggles]

Sending Rodgers back in here is just asking for trouble.

:cool:

[Ian]

Sounds like a couple of Keenum's turnovers were pretty ugly but otherwise reads like there were a good number of positives for Denver and hopefully last night was indicative of better things this year from the o-line to help everything else on the offense go better.

[Dan]

How about this Khalil Mack guy Oakland? Bet you wish you’d drafted him.

[niko_cee]

Fairly epic bottle job by Chicago.

[Dan]

More London tickets on sale in 5mins if anyone’s interested

[Gray Fox]

No one to go with means I miss out.

[wullie]

I'm hopefully getting a Seahawks ticket sorted out for me now, glad it's moved to Wembley.

[Gray Fox]

Someone in our league decided last minute they'd go so I'm trying, but in a queue and nearly 30 mins after they went on sale I think it's a lost cause.

[Dan]

Just got Raiders tickets but looks like the Eagles ones are gone (at least the ones under £100)

[Gray Fox]

Tickets for both other games still there.

Looks like it's one of them or bust.

[Dan]

I’ve got one for the other two, but you’re looking at £200 plus for Eagles/Jags somewhere like Viagogo if you want to go to that one.

[Gray Fox]

Yeah tell me about it. Just can't justify it.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Shame I couldn't stay up until the end, Jesus.

[Giggles]

I had my first chance this year but I couldn't stomach staying in London for one of them. I think I'd much rather see a game in the US anyway as it must be weird at Wembley with fans from all teams there.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It is a bit strange but it's a cracking atmosphere.

[phonics]

I know it's obvious but this is a hilarious stat.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dmsr_dPX4Aky7-A.jpg

[Pleb]

In before Cleveland goes 0-15-1.

[Ian]

I had my first chance this year but I couldn't stomach staying in London for one of them. I think I'd much rather see a game in the US anyway as it must be weird at Wembley with fans from all teams there.

You know when you get the World Cup games where neither team has that big a following there but everybody's having a good time and it's just a good, fun atmosphere? It's that. And if you're there as a neutral there's no reason to really care that the fans aren't trying to drown out the opposing QB or whatever. I've never not enjoyed my visits.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Yeah.

I find it more enjoyable than football matches as I was always scared when I was a kid that I'd get my head caved in if I said the wrong thing to the wrong person. Would never have actually happened but I always presumed the worst.

[Ian]

Football matches can have a nasty atmosphere. Meanwhile I was at Murrayfield sat amongst Scots for a Calcutta Cup game that Scotland won and had a great time. And when the whistle went at the end all the people me and my dad had been dishing abuse back to just went "Och it's fine lads, you're batter us at Twickenham next near." Even partisan crowds are fine in many sports. Dunno if the big Murican ones are that way or if they're shit like football.

[Giggles]

Is it not weirdly muted when someone scores or does someone end up shouting for a team?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

There was big support in the Jags game last year.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Kenneth Dixon with a TD :alan:

It's his season.

And now perhaps it's not.

1039208805056348160

I'd imagine he goes on IR (or they just decide to cut him) and we call up either Edwards or Turner who are both on our practice squad who were great in the pre-season.

[Ian]

Even neutrals want to see a score. And usually pick a side even if it doesn't result in a typical home/away atmosphere.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

They also will appreciate good plays.

Going back to the Jags/Ravens game there was a huge cheer round the stadium when Corey Grant had a huge run with the fake punt.

Although it was good for the seethe from 3 Ravens fans sitting right in front of me (they had come from Baltimore), they left early and one took a walk round the stadium after the Jags first two scores. I think I was the only Ravens fan (visible wearing a shirt) in my block at the end of the game.

[thommo]

Darnold following in the footsteps of Famous there. :D

[Gray Fox]

Wow Darnold.

Please get better than that quickly. I need Stafford scoring these points.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Forgot there was an earlier game.

Sam Darnlold.

I love Jets QBs.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Jeremy Hill is out for the season with a torn ACL.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

If that's a catch then I'm irresistible to women.

Even in real time you could see it moving all over the shop.

[Gray Fox]

Jeremy Hill is out for the season with a torn ACL.

It's time for Sexy Rexy.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Well I guess I should expect to find a wife any day soon.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That was brilliant by Golladay after the interception.

[Gray Fox]

That shot Stafford took seems to have woken him up.

[Gray Fox]

And he's back asleep. Fucks sake.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He's going to be dead by the end of this if they don't take him out.

He's done, Fox.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Woof.

Jets are slapping Detroit hard.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Stafford :lol:

[thommo]

Would never have predicted this after Darnold's first pass.

[Gray Fox]

https://i.imgur.com/TKO4oaP.jpg

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Going to be riots in Detroit.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Not so easy when you're not standing next to Brady and Belichick it seems.

[Gray Fox]

It seemed like every time Stafford got hit it knocked more skill out of him.

[phonics]

Can anyone explain the Browns thing to me by the way?

I understand that Cleveland isn't a big market (yet big enough to have a team in every sport) so won't get the best players but how do you manage to be so consistently bad in a sport that rewards being total dogshit. Not winning an opening game in 14 years seems like madness to an outsider.

You'll get who you want in the NFL if you pay. They've been held back by bad coaching and management but I suppose it is a bit of an oddity that you keep hiring idiots.

They've had a long run of buffoons but there must be something about the place too They're basically a new team since 1999 (The Ravens are the original Browns) and they've drafted some shockers in their 19 years.

The current owner is fairly new. When they came back in 99 they were owned by that lad that had Aston Villa iirc.

Edit - actually, the original owners son bought villa and owned the browns after he died.

TBF the Cavaliers are also a massive joke outside of drafting LeBron so maybe there's something in the water.

Problem with the NFL is that there's never a 100% sure thing in a draft like James was in the NBA, plus you need more than the one to make a team up. They have missed so many times though.

[phonics]

Yeah I got in an argument with someone recently who said a #1 draft in NFL is a quicker way to turn your franchise around than than NBA, he wouldn't hear me out but I definitely called him a retard repeatedly.

[John]

The degree to which they've muffed up some of the drafts over the years is hilarious. Two years ago they took a guy in the first round who they just traded for a sixth round pick, and the team who took him then cut him.

He's just signed for the Patriots though so watch as he makes twenty TD catches.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Didn't help that for 2 years they employed Sashi Brown as their GM who was a lawyer.

They also couldn't draft a QB for shit although I think Baker Mayfield might finally break that curse.

[Giggles]

Yeah I got in an argument with someone recently who said a #1 draft in NFL is a quicker way to turn your franchise around than than NBA, he wouldn't hear me out but I definitely called him a retard repeatedly.

[Pleb]

Woof.

Fixed.

[Pleb]

That being said whoever was in the ESPN truck that evening/night could give no fucks when he/she flicked the switch to the Raiders/Rams game with 5 minutes of the fourth quarter left :D

Don't blame them really.

[Dan]

Falcons season is over in the first week. They’ve lost Deion Jones to IR now.

[Giggles]

No linebacker will ever make or break a team's season any more.

[Dan]

No, but losing a star linebacker & safety, plus the offence still looking like a complete shambles, makes it pretty hard to get anywhere in the NFC. The defence is still pretty good, to be fair, although I feel like the drop from Jones to everyone else is massive.

The NFC South is Tampa’s for the taking as long as they don’t put Jameis back in.

[Pleb]

Dan are we getting out of our division alive? :baz:

[Gray Fox]

The run game really opened up for the Eagles after their injuries. It's what got us the win.

We now roll into Tampa and we'll really see what Fitzmagic can do. If he's even half that good going forward they'd be thick as fuck to put Famous Jameis back in.

[phonics]

I've enjoyed listening to an American sports podcast over the summer but now footballs back it's all football so I need a quick refresh.

Wide/Inside Receiver = the guy the QB throws to?
Offensive lineman = The guy that stops the QB getting sacked?
Full back = No fucking idea but apparently they're irrelevant in the modern game anyway?

Plus: How much does the guy that's only job is to punt the ball get paid? That seems like a nice job to have.

Full back is is normally lined up behind the QB in front of the running back and the main job is the run ahead of the running back to lead block for him. They'd also on occasion catch a pass or run themselves in short yardage situations as they're normally fairly stocky. As teams have gone towards more passing with 3 and 4 receivers they've become expendable for the most part.

You're right on the receivers. Tight ends are are also receivers that are larger and have more blocking duties too.

Linemen correct too. They protect the QB on pass plays and open holes for backs on running plays.

[Giggles]

Punters range from around half a million a year to 4 million a year, but contracts are very strange in the NFL.

Here's the punter salaries for 2018.

https://overthecap.com/position/punter/

[phonics]

Oh yeah that was the other thing, Running Back? Is a running back just a receiver that comes from the pack?

And how the fuck does the passing rule work because I saw someone hike it to a QB who passed it to someone else who threw it long. That's like NFL Street shit to me.

Half a mil for 10 minutes work a month and you don't even get brain damage out of it :drool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Falcons season is over in the first week. They’ve lost Deion Jones to IR now.

Jesus, he's one of the best coverage linebackers in the league.

[Gray Fox]

You can pass forwards up to the line of scrimmage and anyone is allowed to do so. Once beyond the line, you may only make a Lateral, which is backwards in order to give the ball intentionally to someone else.

The play you refer to is called the Fleaflicker. The QB has to pass the ball backwards in order for the RB or WR to then throw it forwards. The downside is if a backwards pass is not caught, it's counted as a fumble and fair game for the defence to go and grab it.

Running backs main job is to take a handoff from the QB and run the ball. They can also catch passes too. Catching is more common these days so you'll see RB's ranked more in total yards than just running yards.

Passing is one forward pass allowed per play so if the QB passes it backwards then the player who catches it can throw it forward (so long as they're beind the line they started from in the first place). It's rare though and normally used as a trick to fool a defense. A player that catches a forward pass can also pass it backwards but that's very rare too.

It was also in the pro bowl (all-star game) where any sort of tackle is pretty much banned.

[Gray Fox]

This is quite possibly the greatest use of the lateral ever, by one of the top 2 receivers to ever take the field.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8o--gh5R98

Ed Reed loved a lateral, this was probably his best:

Going back to the Browns, I heard last night that the Quarterback with the most wins in their home stadium since it opened in 1999 is Ben Roethlisberger. :lol:

[bruhnaldo]

The Titans Vs Dolphins is now the longest game of all time.

What happens if they can't finish it?

I went to the game lol what a long ass day. Then having to drive back to Orlando after was miserable.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Keenan Reynolds has been added to the Seahawks 53 man roster.

[Foe]

That the old navy Qb?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Yep.

Doug Baldwin will be out for about 4 weeks so called him up.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

And now perhaps it's not.

1039208805056348160

I'd imagine he goes on IR (or they just decide to cut him) and we call up either Edwards or Turner who are both on our practice squad who were great in the pre-season.

And he's been placed on IR with De'Lance Turner getting the call up.

[Dan]

Just seen this: 1039565534399012864

Admittedly it was a designed screen, but it still looks horrible.

[John]

There's a gif a bit further down in the replies. It closes up pretty quickly but he really should be hitting him there. He ends up throwing to someone off the left of the screen.

[Giggles]

The replies make you sad for the world.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

RGIII again a healthy inactive. Just trade him for some magic beans, call up someone like Cyrus Jones from our practice squad and be done with it.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Our pass rush is going to fist Dalton tonight.

They struggled to block the Colts on Sunday and they've got fuck all for pass rush.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That looked like he tucked that and should be a fumble from butterfingers Green.

[Gray Fox]

Is this, National drop the ball day?

[Gray Fox]

Okay he didn't drop that.

Flacco :p

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Flacco is a mong.

Not a pick by Weddle but it was close.

[Gray Fox]

This is going be some shitfest by the looks of these opening few minutes.

Get Lemar in!

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Mosley carted off, fucking hell.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

:uhoh:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Seahawks have signed Mychal Kendricks on a 1 year deal.

Wonder how long they'll have him until he's in a cell.

[Gray Fox]

Ravens are so horrible to watch on offence.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Our O-Line looks shaky as fuck tonight and Flacco is playing like he did last season.

[Gray Fox]

Wow.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

We really need to put Marlon Humphrey on AJ Green and not Tavon Young.

Young is great as a slot corner and not a shutdown man to man one.

[Gray Fox]

All this is missing is Ross burning you for an 80 yarder.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Our offensive line is fucking sleeping tonight.

Skura and Alex Lewis are getting bullied.

[Gray Fox]

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fuck AJ Green.

[Gray Fox]

Yeah I've heard that Green guy is good. Maybe they should cover him.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Yeah I've heard that Green guy is good. Maybe they should cover him.

Usually Jimmy Smith locks him down.

Shame he was a dick to his girlfriend.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I love John Brown.

Triple fucking covered and he somehow grabs it.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Just stop putting Lamar Jackson in ffs.

These gadget plays aren't working for dick.

[Gray Fox]

It is becoming a bit of a joke now. Either put him in as QB or leave it.

Nice bit of shit officiating to get the Ravens a score.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Soon just looking at a QB will result in a flag.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Flacco just throwing at the ground now.

[Gray Fox]

Flacco continuing to steal a living.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Pass interference? Lads.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That was a nice catch by Andrews.

ANDREWS not Anderson you fucking nonce, Aikman.

[Gray Fox]

Refs trying their best to keep the Ravens in this.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Refs trying their best to keep the Ravens in this.

No, they're just shit.

Look at the Judon roughing the passer call.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Bone bruise for Mosley apparently. Could be out for 3 weeks or so.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Well that was shit.

Only positives were probably Andrews, Brown, Collins and Kenny Young. Our pass rush, secondary, O-Line and Flacco were all mince.

[Giggles]

Our pass rush is going to fist Dalton tonight.

They struggled to block the Colts on Sunday and they've got fuck all for pass rush.

:harold:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

:harold:

Indeed.

Never mind sacks, they didn't even get pressure on the ginger wanker. I really don't know what was going on.

Hopefully it's a case of just 'Thursday games are shit' or something because that was troubling.

[Gray Fox]

I wonder if it's Flacco that's causing the shite the Ravens often produce or if it's Harbaugh. The Superbowl year was great but they have a .500 record since. 2 play-off chokes right at the end of the final game lately too.

Maybe it's time for a change?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

There will be a change if he doesn't make the playoffs.

This is his make or break year.

[Gray Fox]

Flacco or Harbaugh?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Harbaugh.

Flacco is gone no matter what I feel. This will be the first time that we can cut him without crippling the team with dead money.

https://overthecap.com/player/joe-flacco/1383

We'd do a lot better cutting him the following season but I think they'll just roll with Loomar next year and be done with it.

[Giggles]

What games are in Sky tomorrow? Game Pass are doing the blackouts this year.

[Foe]

Steelers chiefs, jags pats and cowboys Giants.

[Giggles]

Happy days, cheers.

I think the blackout is only for 6pm and 9pm. All the TNF, SNF, and MNF are ok.

[Foe]

Really annoying that espn can't be assed to show the whole 3 hours of college game day. That's twice in three weeks is been partially papped.

[John]

They'll be using it as a time filler. Anything more popular than under fourteen sailing will outperform college helmetball here.

[Dan]

Some proper college football tackling on that TD from Iowa State :D

1041009390017490945

Looking forward to Auburn/LSU, Alabama/Ole Miss & Ohio State/TCU tonight, although I have no idea which ones I'll watch.

Looking forward to Auburn/LSU, Alabama/Ole Miss & Ohio State/TCU tonight, although I have no idea which ones I'll watch.

This Oklahoma team doesn't seem as complete as last year.

Looking forward to the auburn/lsu game. Would love to watch the Ohio state game but it's on the wrong channel and bt have a habit of cutting the end of games.

Must be odd being a college qb with a fuck load of baseball money sitting there on the table. He's like a little gadget running back though, he's so fast.

[Foe]

Solid start by auburn. Throwing a pick on about the third play. This is probably the best LSU team I've seen in the few years I've watched college football. And they don't have a stud like fournette or guice

[Dan]

They've run all over Auburn in the first half, and while there's no beast RB, they do look to have a couple of good ones. It also probably helps that they have a decent QB for once. Auburn do look to be coming back into it though, so we should have a good second half.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Just stuck LSU/Auburn on, decent game thus far?
