Re: NFL 2017
I wish I was surprised by the Titans disappointing me to start the season, but I’m almost numb to it at this point.

Re: NFL 2017
Didn't see the whole game last nite, but from what I saw the Vikes looked good.

It just goes to show how much of a difference offensive line play can make on your entire team. The offense was able to run the ball, control the clock, give Bradford time to be absolutely lethal, and keep the defense well rested.
Granted, the Saints D is garbage, but that was light years ahead of last year.

The last team I said "looked good" was this year's Cleveland Indians, 20 in a row & counting. Just sayin'...Iowan wrote:My expectations were exceeded.beantownbubba wrote:Didn't see the whole game last nite, but from what I saw the Vikes looked good.

Re: NFL 2017
Titans need a win today, can’t start the season 0-2 (especially with a loss to a division rival) and expect to have a great chance at making the playoffs.

Re: NFL 2017
Luckily the 2nd half of the Titans schedule is so easy that they should be able to waltz into the playoffs as division winners as long as they don’t have someone like Mike Mularkey at head coach.chuckrh wrote:& you have the Seahawks coming in next week....Sterling Bigmouth wrote:Titans need a win today, can’t start the season 0-2 (especially with a loss to a division rival) and expect to have a great chance at making the playoffs.

The Vikings kind of need Bradford, I think.

Re: NFL 2017
That Brady kid can play some football.
And barring injury that Watson kid is the real deal too. I don't know if there are keeper leagues in fantasy football, but if so, I'd want this guy for the long term.
I'm banking the win for sure but damn it's starting to get a bit annoying that I don't recognize most of the names on defense for the Pats. It's a very strange way to watch a game.

Re: NFL 2017
Interesting crowd at Nissan Stadium yesterday. Seahawks traveled well, but not quite as much as I expected. On the other hand, they were LOUD the entire game. Would have thought the crowd was split 50/50 just from that.chuckrh wrote:i'm crying in my coffee in a haze of cig smoke this morning.Sterling Bigmouth wrote:Just got home from the Titans game, these guys aren’t too bad!

Is Tom Brady Donald Trump's Walter Cronkite? https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/ear ... ost&wpmm=1
That 6 names in a row thing is sorta cool.

Re: NFL 2017
Watched a bit of the game to see Jacoby Brissett, who I think may have a future. Seahawks did not look good when I was watching but obviously figured something out.chuckrh wrote:Seahawks finally wake up. Whew!
Meanwhile, Stephon Gilmore is quickly turning out to be one of the worst Patriots signings in recent memory. If they had anyone else who could backpedal I wouldn't be surprised if they just outright cut him (seriously, that's the "Patriot way") but they really don't have anyone. While the loss stung big time let's not forget that Brady was once again outstanding. He missed a couple of throws but he also brought the team back from 14 down w/in something like 9 minutes. I was glad to see this am that one of the Globe writers started the drumbeat for more Deon Lewis. Before the big injury he had amazing skills & speed and he's shown flashes of his pre-injury form; I'd like to see him get a real shot at serious playing time. Right now, the Pats' biggest saving grace is the division they play in. No reason to panic yet but sooner or later "we'll just have to outscore the bastards" becomes an untenable strategy. Belichek has certainly earned the right to do it his way, but even he can't win w/out players.

i listened to some of the game on the radio during the drive to Logan, and i thought Zolak was going to have an aneurysm about Gilmore's play.

Re: NFL 2017
I’m not a big fan of Colin Kaepernick, but after watching a half of Jay Cutler vs. Matt Cassel, it’s embarrassing the guy hasn’t been signed yet.

Re: NFL 2017
Earl Thomas is the man! sunday's line: 8 tackles, 1 int & a Bruce Lee move on Gurley man, knocking the ball free on the goal line. That's the 2nd time he's done that against the Rams.
Re: NFL 2017
Good to have the W, but it's obvious that Bradford probably won't be healthy again this year, and certainly doesn't have the durability to build around.

Re: NFL 2017
Okay it was just the middle of an early regular season game, but circumstances aside, was the reversal of the Jets touchdown (and calling it a turnover as well!) the worst call in the history of calls? Unbelievably bad. No words. My sympathies to Jets fans everywhere. I believe the Jets still would have lost but they certainly earned the opportunity to prove me wrong. What's the point of replay if it doesn't make for better, more accurate decisions? Sheesh.

Re: NFL 2017
Vikings cruise into first place in the NFC North, and Rogers is done for the year. Certainly not excited about someone getting hurt, but the Vikes are in a good spot.

Wow. #47 for the dolphins is one hell of an asshole. Watching w/ one eye and no sound in a bar but man that hit on Flacco was fucked up. Hope the dude was thrown out but didn’t see.

That was scary shit. Flacco was knocked the fuck out. He (Kiki Alonso) wasn’t ejected as the penalty wasn’t considered flagrant. I think the fines will be severe and deservedly so..beantownbubba wrote:Wow. #47 for the dolphins is one hell of an asshole.
