Brilliance.

Saquon averaging 9+ yards a carry so they sub him out so Gainwell can get 5 yards in two carries and they can throw incomplete on 3rd down.

And come away with no points. Eesh.

Pretty shitty how the 2 ex Jets(Well Braden Mann is punting for them who could not hit a 50+ punt with any consistency as a Jet to save his life) are doing.

I want Bryce Huff to tee off but the Packers completely grounded him last week and he didn't look good on that 3rd down pass rush either.

On the other hand, it's shameful to see how motivated and poised Mehki Becton looks out there. Dude could not be bothered to stay in shape and care to adjust, it felt like last season was less about results and more about staying healthy and it showed, he was atrocious at LT. This after he declared himself a left tackle and got grumpy whenever he was asked to move over to RT. NOW after he was facing being out of the league he then decides to play as a guard and actually looks like the Becton rookie season where he was really good. This after throwing the team that took him after he bombed a marijuana drug test during the draft process and stood by him missing basically 2 years in a row under the bus on social media. Sucks. 

Hurts spikes the ball and is hit with a penalty for that.
Hate that rule.

I’m 12 points ahead of my opponent this week and he only has Barkley left to play. He is in the group chat losing his mind.

EDIT: fuck he has London too I just noticed. This is gonna be close.

Big play…. Flag.

All day, every game.

Jason Kelce can't hide his Eagle fandom in this booth. :lol:

Barkley 2 pt conversion put my opponent ahead. Dang it.

We want Penix!

We want Penix!

The decision by Sirriani to go for the killshot with the pass to Barkley may end up costing Philly. Should have chewed the clock out and give ATL under a minute to try and operate.

This was the case 2 games in, he was getting pushed out of plays and it seems like Ulbrich/Saleh were right in saying he can't be trusted to set the edge on running plays hence why he's used only on 3rd down pass rush downs. His pressure rate has always been great though so it is concerning he can't do anything to generate something he's done with ease over the past 3 years. Maybe he's still learning the Fangio defense but I am stunned at how much he's getting obliterated. I like him and think him coming from a UDFA to do what he's done to get his life changing contract this past offseason is awesome but now he's gotta figure this out. Whole Eagles pass rush bombed tonight, Nolan Smith wasn't much better and Graham had highs and lows.

Not Sirianis fault that Barkley can’t catch.

Giants get a TD and instead of kicking the XP to go up 4 they try for 2 and fail, making it a 3 point game/FG. I don't get it...

EDIT: Oh NVM Graham Gano is out, that's why. Gillian is kicking but it's a chip shot so I guess he isn't comfortable with him as the emergency kicker. 

We only had 52 players dressed! Unforgivable stuff - Giants are heading down the barrel of yet another teardown.

@admin if go back and watch a game today - watch the Packers on offense. Specifically the first half. I feel you’ll appreciate it more than most.

Yeah this was brilliant, props to you and rad predicting that if anyone could create a functional offence with Willis it was Flower. I am disappointed no one posted about the center puking on the ball though!

Was another solid week for the Steelers, Fields is showing flashes, but still firmly in just good enough territory, granted they stole a TD from him on a(nother) bogus OPI. Still, if Russ is ready to go week 3, might still have to see what he’s got left in the tank in comparison, but Fields goes off or just holds fast to 3/4-0…then Russ is probably riding the bench. Have to wait and see.

Fields in this game was the perfect example of why you need to watch rather than just look at the box score to judge performance. By the stats you'd think he's been very pedestrian, but he made a lot of plays in this game that were called back because of penalties - there was that one absolutely insane throw to Pickens which would have been a play of the season contender if it stood. If he continues to avoid turnovers there's no way they go to Wilson.

I think seeing Caleb Williams struggle so much is also showing that it wasn't all Fields' fault in Chicago. He is obviously a flawed QB, but he was probably making their o-line look a lot better than they were/are.

Crazy how fast the landscape of the NFL changes. The Saints were considered the most boring team in the NFL and as @admin mentioned, having the least optimistic fanbase going into the season (myself included). So far after two games, they’ve been one of the most exciting teams in the league. Scoring on their first 15 drives to start the season. Kubiak’s offensive system is working magic. Carr looks rejuvenated. AK is back to looking like his prime self. The maligned offensive line has been one of the best units in the NFL. The best part of this is that it allows DA to focus on what he does best; coaching the defense. I don’t know if this will continue but I’m enjoying the ride so far.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m buying my Super Bowl tickets and booking my hotel for February.

I'm really glad for you! I'm interested to see if this keeps up, obviously this current pace is unsustainable, but as I heard Conor Orr say, could it just be that Carr has just never had a good coach his entire career, and now he's in the Shanahan offence he might thrive?

This was so awful. Absolute karma that the Eagles choked because of this nonsense throughout the third quarter. I guess ESPN gave him the bag so they feel like they have got to get their money's worth but I'm already beyond sick of him, he's not a good analyst and he's not entertaining.

Saquon has always been overrated as a pass catcher, people automatically think he's great because he's a finesse runner, but I remember him making a number of drops on simple balls during his time with the Giants. I agree you can't blame the coach for the players not executing, but I think they should have gone for it on fourth down to kill the game. But Sirianni is a bitch so fuck him.

Falcons offensive line deserves some love for that final drive. Just clean pocket after clean pocket.

Nico Collins is rapidly becoming one of my favorite Texans of all time. Always will love Hopkins, his moment where he iced the Cowboys in 2018 will always be hard to top, but damn Collins just seems to have the fight in him that I always wished Hopkins had.

Just read the Giants are the only team in history to score 3 touchdowns and allow zero touchdowns and still love. That’s crazy.

Kareem Hunt back with the Chiefs.

Let’s do it! 3Peat SZN.

As the stat suggests they would have won if not for the kicker fiasco (18 total points with three touchdowns will never happen again) but in the bigger picture it was a good result. Beating Washington is usually what has us drafting in the 4-7 range rather than 1 or 2.

Yeah he’s a complete receiver. People have been sleeping on him for a while. He’s going to get his acclaim this season with the Texans getting more of a spotlight.

Kamari Lassiter also looking like one of the best picks in the draft right now. I believe there hasn’t been a completed pass thrown his way in the first 2 games. Some of that will be the quarterback play they’ve faced, but he looks the business. He dropped out of the first round due to speed issues but his football speed looks fine. Texans have learned from when they passed on Kyle Hamilton a few years back.

People but NOT UT.

Hear that you terrible drafters and voters!

It's only two games but he is off to a great start...
