2017 NFL Season Thread

The Eagles are in trouble without Wentz. I know it's a division rival and they're always tough games, but come on. The Giants are decimated by injuries and are 2-12. If not for some bungling on special teams, the Giants would have been winning in the last two minutes, instead of being down.

When the playoffs start, the Eagles will be playing tough teams, unlike the Giants.

Rams steamrolling the Seahawks 27-0

[Ghost Rider TheHellfireDemon]

Their only hope is the Bears next week, because they're unlikely to beat the Steelers

Even that seems unlikely because Bears have a reliable qb but a possible.

Vikings 24-0 halftime they should use Bridgewater because it's a blowout.

They wisely waited til the score was 34-0 before doing that stupid move. Bridgewater was rusty and the team wanted to win the NFC North today. Not create a stupid QB controversy. Expect this to be the plan as well for the next 2 weeks as the Vikings want home field in the playoffs.

At halftime in a great game 17-10 Steelers

The Titans are flat 1st half 16-3 and 0 stops for the defense. The Titans need to defend or a win will be highly unlikely.

Titans with a long drive and a pass td to Walker
16-10 and best thing Titans recieve bal to start 2nd half

In a utter embarrassment the Rams are demolishing the Seahawks in the Bird Nest 34-0.

Man the Seahawks are getting POUNDED

40 to 0 half way through the third

[Ghost Rider TheHellfireDemon]

Titans use a long drive and fg 16-13

Awful decision Brady a easy int and Steelers with great field

[Sacred Knight]

1st and goal Steelers! Come on, punch it in.

I can't believe this. Highway robbery by the refs. That is a touchdown.

Once again, what IS a catch? Satan’s Team escapes with a win it didn’t deserve. That play will be dissected like the Zapruder film for weeks to come.

Apparently per the rule it was the right call. Not that it makes it any better, because if that's the case then the rule is even more ridiculous than I thought it was. You're doing it wrong in competitive sport when ludicrous micromanaged technicalities beyond the basic rules end up deciding games, not the ability of the players on the field. Its just too much. This is far from the first time but it just might be all I can stand.

Jimmy Garoppolo has won each of his first 5 NFL starts, making him the first QB to do so since Ben Roethlisberger in 2004.

The Steelers had the right strategy on offense - long drives to keep Brady off the field and hope the pressure of needing to come back forces Brady into mistakes. However, it's hampered by their defense, which is perfectly designed to fail against Brady. Zone Blitzing is the absolute worst type of defense to use against Brady.

I HATE THAT RULE. It's the Dez and Megatron rule. The NFL needs to get rid of it. If fans at home look at it and say "That should be a TD". Then it SHOULD be a TD. The dude had a knee down, turned his body and lunged forward (a football move) and crossed the goal line. Only after that did his hands touch the ground and the ball came loose.

A knee equals two feet down. So how is that not the same as a player catching a ball at the five yard line, taking two steps, crosses the plane of the goal line and then bobbles it out of hands? Because the latter would count but the former wouldn't. And yet, it's the same darn thing.

I can't stand the Steelers anymore than I can the Patriots, but come on NFL. THAT'S a touchdown! Change the rule!!

I've yet to watch a 49'ers game with him at QB this year, so I don't know from my own eyes how he's doing, but that trade seems to be working out great for them.
