official NFL week 1 thread

[Analog]

Let's see how many more leagues can fuck Detroit this year. Truly amazing.

If it was Brady or Manning, that would have been a TD. Seriously, the NFL thinks its okay to screw the Lions.

Hi Iggles fans!

 

[ussfletcher]

No he didn't. His ass hit the ground and he thought the play was over as I did. He was just getting up.

It was 110% bullshit.

That was a terrible call.. if you say he didn't complete that catch then what do you say about diving over the line and letting the ball go before you stand. From what they were saying the 'process' isn't over when the ball is down... messed up.

 

[OILFIELDTRASH]

Eagles!!!

Take it easy man. 3 points.

 

[Gunslinger08]

So far on Eagles offense:
- Run blocking looks better than last year
- Kolb looks bad

 

[dmcowen674]

OK I watched most of the Bears game and am watching the Packers game and so far NO FUCKING FOX SPORTS ROBOT!

Please let it be true that they got rid of that thing!

Yes please say they replaced that robot with Charissa Thompson

Michael Vick puts SO much pressure on a defense! I mean, will he run or . . . will he briefly look to pass and then run?

lol

 

[Inspector Jihad]

Take it easy man. 3 points.

that was for the defense, thank you very much.

Also, hope the Pack wins, but I do like the Eagles new unis and colors. Throwback to the Eagles I grew up with!

I didn't like the too dark green unis of the McNabb era.

i did not realize people hated the robot

 

[dmcowen674]

I've got Moss too, and he's trading back and forth with Scaub as my top scorer. My projected total is baaad: 92.

143.95 and day is not over yet, happens when you have Payton and he gets 54 points by himself even though the team loses.

You're not going to beat Jennings + Rodgers. First game jitters. Wait until 2nd half and the packs will likely blow them out.

It has to do when you CATCH a ball. If you go to the ground you have to maintain possession throughout, otherwise it isn't a complete catch, it's incomplete as ruled here correctly.

It's the exact same as if a receiver catches a ball and goes to the ground anywhere else on the field or even out of bounds. It's not a catch if they don't maintain possession.

 

[Gunslinger08]

Weird, Asante doesn't make a tackle. How strange.

Oh, I expect the Eagles to lose. They've got too many young guys who are "works in progress" to be good this year. Maybe in 2 or 3 years, if Kolb can become a top 10 QB.

 

[Inspector Jihad]

Best offense in the league? 3 sacks already...

I agree. BUT this rule needs to be looked at when in the inzone. If you are running all you have to do is break the plane.

He caught the ball and landed. while it was techinically not a catch in the spirit of the game it should have counted. the bears are lucky to walk away with a win.

 

[Slew Foot]

Alex Smith continues to suck donkey dick

Seriously. You know it's wrong when every single Bears fan disagrees with it.

Use some common sense in your fucking rules/calls.

What sucks is it totally looks like he just let go of it because he thought the play was over and the catch complete. Other receivers wouldn't have put one hand out like that to brace their fall. They'd hold onto the ball with both hands and just hit the ground. Two feet in, maintain possession even if hitting the ground = catch. Anything else = not a catch.

 

[dmcowen674]

Damn, Crosby 49 yards down the middle and it could've gone 55 at least.

Yeap. Eagles had 1-2 bad games last year, and the other losses were just out of luck or because the other teams simply played their hearts out.

Eagles just need to find a way to beat Dallas. Seems like they cannot stop their rush.

 

[Homerboy]

If this keeps up, Rodgers will be dead by the 3rd quarter.
ANd yes.... no more "Cletus" Thank you Fox.

Many O-lines are missing assignments this week. Come to think of it, I think GB had the same problem through half the season last year, but then they became a brick wall later in the season.

Ohhh damn. That injury looks bad.

He caught the ball two feet down, pushed by defender, lands on his hip, left hand touches out of bounds/on the ground. Then the ball hit the ground. Anyone who watches football know that was a catch. Wasn't like he lost control. He had possesion. Just a bullshit call

 

[Gunslinger08]

So Weaver just destroyed his left knee. Hello injured reserve.
