2016-2017 NFL Thread

Denver defense didn't give up points on the 1st drive. Victory!

Also ran the ball on the 1st play, and gained yards and got a 1st down on the second play AND DT didn't drop a 1st down pass. I don't care what the result is, improvement already.

I also forgot this was an early game, those never go well.

And then they force a 3-and-out, and on their first play takes 75 yard for a TD, what a start.

Packers not off to a good start. Someone has to win the NFC North though.

Alex Smith throws deep, easily picked off. Figures.

Atlanta defense not looking good. Eagles just ran it down their throat.

[Pendulous]

Ok, so, ideally, Greg Olsen needs about 60 yards and a touchdown. Jonathan Stewart 150 yards and a touchdown. Tyreek Hill 100 yards and two touchdowns, and KC wins easily. Huh...I may not get what I want, like always.

Sunshine got both feet down 6+ inches in bounds in the endzone, falls on his butt in bounds, the refs right on the sideline calls him out of bounds. These are the type of calls people shit on the refs for. Got fixed with a challenge, but shouldn't have to waste a challenge on something like that.

[Pendulous]

Chiefs can't offense. Send help.

Yep, these are the calls that just boggle the mind.



In other news, Cutler just thrown his second interception. Might be a hairy afternoon for the Bears in Tampa.

Wow, Taylor Lewan apparently ejected for pushing a referee in the Titans-Packers game. Titans go up 14-0 regardless.

Andy Lee pulled a hammy, Graham Gano punting for Carolina. I find this amusing for some reason.

[Grube]

Bortles already has a pick-6. He is getting an early start this week.

So for some reason I did not know Fleener was still playing, I guess Brees can make anyone look good.

Its funny at this point how terrible Garcia and Stephenson are. Garcia let Fairly just run past him without even looking and Stephenson is making Cameron Jordan look like Von Miller. If someone isn't open before Siemian finishes a dropback he has to run or is surrounded with no where to go.

Stewart with 2 picks off Brees already, one from a Roby pass breakup.

I didn't know NFL had female referee....

NFC North getting smashed today. Minnesota down 2 TD's as well, against Washington.

[Pendulous]

DeMarco Murray has a...passing touchdown? Wow.

Also, kinda rooting for the Titans now to win the south. It's a garbage division, and the Titans are rolling pretty well.

I think last year or something it became a thing.

Fun TD by the Jets. Forward throw to the side, caught about 5 yards from the sideline, flipped to someone running around the bunch there, easy TD.

[apepi]

This isn't looking good. . Why does this have be be the one time when I would actually want to play Tyrod Taylor he's on a bye?

[Skayaq]

We can now add two more people to the list of players having a touchdown pass before Jared Goff this season; DeMarco Murray and Bryan Petty

[Serpha]

Goodbye Packers.

This might be one of those days for the Titans. Up 3 scores now against the Packers.


For the Packers, this might be Mike McCarthy's swan song, the game that people point to when he gets fired after the season.
