2017-2018 NFL thread

So far, this is absolutely the worst Patriots season I can recall this century.

Will Fuller being able to actually catch and not drop everything is scary.

Saints with another defensive turnover. This season is weird.

[draynay]

Love having Craig Robertson back in the lineup, Anzalone was getting better, but Robertson makes plays.

So far, this is absolutely the worst Patriots season I can recall this century.

Honestly, this defense looks worse than the 2011 one and that defense finished 31st.

They can;t stop the run, they can;t stop the pass, they are not forcing turnovers, they are not forcing negative plays.

Add to that the litany of injuries on the offense and it's just not going anywhere.


Even if we win this game in some way, the team has already looked vulnerable and bad enough again that I have little trust in them.

The NFL is so different season to season, game to game. Three weeks ago it was assured the Jets might have the first pick, GB as in trouble against ATl and the Pats would be fine(also lol at 16-0). Now the pats have the worst defense I can remember them having, Rodgers is hurt after winning 3 games in a row and the Jets might be in first place after today. Crazy!

Well there was no Patriots 16-0 talk three weeks ago, Chiefs had already put that to bed.

[Grube]

I knew the Ravens offense wasn't very good, but to struggle this much against the Bears is worse than I thought.

[WskyDK]

Staggering how bad the Pats D is.
Very clear there’s no chemistry there anymore.

[draynay]

True, I just meant that its such an overreaction league from week to week.

No doubt about that.

Down goes Hogan.

Hoyer 39 yards in the first half. Benched for Bethard Looks like the experiment isn't working.

[WskyDK]

Down goes Hogan.

God. Damnit.

[draynay]

Saints run a trick option play followed by a flea-flicker. Feeling a bit more confident now that the OLine is healthy and the defense is playing well.

Dan Fouts is always such a raging anti-Patriots homer. I've never listened to his commentating a Patriots game without at least one occasion of him genuinely sounding disappointed when the Patriots don;t get a penalty called against them or when the Patriots have a big play. The guy is such a clueless tit.

Today he's already wanted a penalty on Gronk called that went against the Jets, just cause of some hand fighting (when the opposing player literally ran into Gronk with his back turned to the ball) and tried to argue that Dion Lewis was down before he scored the TD (when there was clear evidence the ball had already crossed if you looked at it in full).

He's without a doubt my least favourite commentator still calling games.

[Fencers]

This season is a disaster so far.

[xskarma]

Hahaha, for those watching Patriots-Jets, did you hear how disappointed he was about those penalties? What an absolute turd.

[Northern Goblin]

Even Gostkowski is off today.

Brady to Gronk is keeping them in this.

[Fencers]

I'm watching the Pats in a bar. No sound except the sweet, sweet music of Memphis Stax.

Dan Fouts can eat a bag of dicks.

Hoyer 39 yards in the first half. Benched for Bethard Looks like the experiment isn't working.

Bethard goes for 89 yards with what's left of the half and Hyde punches it in from the 1. Bethard is the new Montana/Young, clearly.

[apepi]

Did I wake in an opposite universe where the Saint's defense wasn't shit?

[draynay]

Was just thinking, seems strange that Ryan Fitzpatrick isn't starting yet, has his voodoo doll lost its potency or is Winston on the brink of doom?

What shit officiating, wow, Thomas makes the catch, hits the ground, then they pull it out of his hands after he's down and somehow thats an interception.
