2017-2018 NFL thread

You can just feeeeeeeeeeel the Atlanta fans go "No. NO. Nononononono, this is NOT happening again. Not in our own stadium on it's official opening NFL game."

I was 100% sure the Falcons wouldn't allow this kind of comeback again, but I'm now like 80% sure they won't allow it again.

Definitely going to keep watching now.

They kept it closer than I expected, but people really overreacted to Green Bay last week about their defense. Atlanta has arguably the best offense in the league and Seattle the worst.

Falcons hang on in the end, lack of O-line for Rodgers the deciding factor in the game today I feel. Shame, what could have been.

2-0! I like, I like. Lions are next.

USC/Texas was the only entertaining game of the weekend.

Charges v Dolphins? Game came down to a missed field goal. Again.

Obviously i found the game just gone entertaining too.

I thought Broncos-Cowboys was plenty entertaining tbh.

The last nine seconds of Tennessee/Florida.

Niners are worse.

Theres two problems with Seattle's offense right now aside from the elephant in the room. One is that Jimmy Graham is sucking. You saw Wilson shift to Luke Willson and the offense moved somewhat, until they eventually did something stupid.

Wilson was the most off target I think I've seen him be since that weird playoff game against the Saints in a windy storm. Even more off target than when he was hurt last season. You don't really see him throwing at receivers feet in his past. He always overthrew if anything. Very uncharacteristic and concerning. Didn't see him do that in the preseason, but hes been doing it in the first two games.

I just saw Yanda broke his leg. Pretty huge loss for the Ravens there. At the rate they are going they won't have anyone to even put on the field on offense pretty soon.

Bolles has a high ankle sprain/deep bone bruise, so he got lucky there considering he thought when it happened he hurt his achilles. Probably won't matter this week, because the Bills are the Bills, but that is going to cause problems against the Raiders and Giants. More worried about Bennie Fowler, because watching him just fall over twice after his concussion probably means it was a bad one.

Lions at Giants tonight. If Beckham plays the Giants probably win if he doesn't....I like the Lions upset chances. Maybe another 4th Q comeback!

The overreaction week to week in the NFL is insane. You would think Atlanta was terrible after beating a bears team on the road and the packers were the greatest defense in history after 1 week. Now GB is suddenly done, Seattle is awful and Dallas stinks while Atlanta is the greatest offense ever. It's a long season, people to relax, slight Rodgers pun intended there.

I like how Tony Romo was blabbering on about being 0-2 was the worst thing and it completely sapped the club and made everyone depressed. Like, it's a long season. Patriots were 2-2, Seahawks 3-3 in 2014 and both made the Superbowl. Dolphins last year were 1-4 and still made the playoffs!

Especially if you have a rough schedule early (like the Cowboys do and the Packers do) then you need to be prepared that your team is going to lose some of those games. Patriots have a stretch this year where they have 5 away games in a 6 game stretch after their bye, they are for sure going to drop games there, that's inevitable. Just need to keep that in mind when you go into the season and take those lumps as they come.

At the end of the season all 3 teams should still be right in the thick of the playoff race, even with those less than ideal stretches.

Giants dodge a bullet.. looks like he was down.. we'll see

[Crackleslap]

LMFAO the start to this game though. Good lord. Even if it's called down. Hilarious.

[Crackleslap]

Is the crowd booing their team already or what? Dayum son.

*just* in time to see the Lions TD. What did I miss before that? I forgot time while running around Argus.

Giants almost fumbled touchdown on their drive, went 3 and out with a terrible punt and lions just pushed for a TD.

Giants Oline might actually be worse than Seattles.
