NFL Regular Season Thread

[Scott Taylor]

It was very nice to see New England in their bright red, we suck uniforms again last night. Congrats to Miami, it was close like NFC East battles almost all are recently.

In all actuallity, TEs will probably need some rule changes to indicate clearer blocking attempts as well as when defense can engage. IMHO I would rather not see another rule and just have them go back to letting TEs blast guys.

Hear hear! The game has had all sort of TEs, from finesse guys to the sneakiest of the sneaky guys, to the all out blasters. Let them continue to be the most random offensive element in the backfield.

What are you guys hoping to see tonight? I expect to see a good, clean game, with no injuries, and everyone has fun.

[Lairston]

Got a twinbill tonight:

7:15, Saints at Panthers, ESPN

8:15, Browns at Steelers, ABC

To be honest, neither game interests me all that much, so maybe I’ll watch some anime instead.

The Pittsburgh region notices the lack of Pennsylvania patriotism from Philly and glares eastward

I just want some good games. Too many that have been on tv in my area have been blow outs.

I have a friend that lives in Cleveland that has had a rough week. So to make him feel better I hope the Browns win. (My hatred for the Steelers have nothing to do with it. I promise. Yep thats the truth.)

Awww, who am I kidding? Yes, I’m watching football!

No Manning cast?

Some injury fall out form this weekend-Saquon Barkley has an ankle sprain, but not a high ankle sprain and should miss only 3 weeks rather than half a season or more if it were a lisfranc injury.

Bengals Joe Burrow could miss some time after aggravating his calf injury. His availability for next week's game against the Rams is in question, and it could be longer depending on what the medical staff advises after evaluating the injury in a day or two.

Steelers WR Diontae Johnson, who had a hamstring injury in week 1 was placed on IR today before the Steeler's week 2 game, and will miss 4 weeks at least.

Cardinals safety Budda Baker, who injured a hamstring on Friday and was inactive for this weekend's game was also placed on IR today.

Giants and Bengals need to find ways to win without their offensive star players or their seasons will be over before they return healthy. If Burrow can't move and plant to throw well, it's going to be a long season for him behind that porous O-line, and he'll likely end up missing more time if he tries to play at less than 100% on that calf.

Ugh I forgot how much I hate Joe Buck.

[Kirby101]

That was crazy! And not on Watson.

Defensive battle in Carolina with the Saints leading 6-3 at the half.

If anyone here can successfully explain what happened at the end of the first quarter in Pittsburgh, you’re far smarter than I am.

You mean the catch-fumble-return-fumble out of bounds? Or the fumble while tackled on Watson?

Browns Nick Chubb badly hurt his left knee on a play, the kind of play on a replay makes you cringe and the network wouldn't show it.

[Kirby101]

I found a video of it, I think taken off the stadium screen. The network made a good call not to show it. I would not recommend viewing it.

[LoganAlpha30X33]

They said that the fans gasped when they saw the replay. That Chubbs knee bent in a way that a human knee has no right to bend safely.
