Week 1: NFL Discussion Thread

[Mark]

Was having an amazing Raiders debut (2 TDs) and just took a brutal helmet to helmet hit. Was out for a while.

I gotta see that from another angle… from the one I saw it looked like his neck might have been jammed, too.

 

[A Maybe Baker]

Man, Jakobi is a great guy. I hope he doesn't have anything long term from that.

 

[A Maybe Baker]

Also...Pats looked like we needed to stop all first downs and we were about to give one up, only to cause a fumble and recover it.

What a season opener.

 

[VashTheStampede]

Bill O'Brien might need more credit for that. Jones was looking horrible to start the game, but adjustments were made for the second quarter and Jones looks like an all star now. Also I'm liking Bourne - that dude is a hell of a receiver.

Every time I hear or read the name Bill O'Brien it makes me think of the old SNL "BILL BRASKY" skits

His hand looked to be twitching to me… I never like seeing that.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Guys, I think Tua is pretty good.

 

[VashTheStampede]

Guys, I think Tua is pretty good.

He's looked GREAT today

 

[A Maybe Baker]

4th and 17...

 

[TD]

I like that I picked the Raiders to lose and they won.

17-0 unlocked.

 

[Mark]

Guys, I think Tua is pretty good.

I don’t wanna see him take another hit to the head after last season, though. He lucked out big time.

 

[VashTheStampede]

 

[Mark]

Best description ever.

 

[TD]

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Tua put that in the perfect spot.

 

[TD]

Well I'm glad I drafted Tyreek.

 

[Mark]

Dude better be on the top of the highlight reel for that shit.

 

[VashTheStampede]

Well I'm glad I drafted Tyreek.

He was who I was hoping to get lol

 

[Fool's Requiem]

My DuckDuckGo extension for Firefox blocked the fuck out of that tiktok link.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

I'm going to continue the tradition of not watching yet another NFC East Primetime matchup and do something else.

 

[A Maybe Baker]

Rookie WR for the pats still playing on college rules ended up costing the game (twice on 4th down he only got 1 foot in instead of a toe drag or toe tap).

Shouldn't have needed to be down to that though. Two turnovers early really did it.

Their WR coach should be teaching that shit...

 

[TD]

Why did I pick the Giants? lol

 

[Mark]

Why did I pick the Giants? lol

Underdog syndrome?

 

[TD]

I honestly didn't even know they were considered that big of an underdog but I don't really know much about either team.

 

[A Maybe Baker]

I hate that in both my leagues I'm playing against Tyreek Hill this week.

Although I can still win in the non GW league despite that (even though in that league I drafted Kelce in the first round in that one).

 

[Mark]

I honestly didn't even know they were considered that big of an underdog but I don't really know much about either team.

It’s weird to think of Dallas as the better team, but apparently they’ve been rebuilding the last few seasons. I know, I know. My cousin has been saying it 20 years now, I guess they might finally be doing it.

 

[TD]

I now realized that the Raiders are winning their division and everyone else lost.

 

[TD]

Cole's got the Cowboys D/ST.
Damn. lol

 

[Joseph Snapple]

 

[Cole]

Cole's got the Cowboys D/ST.
Damn. lol

did they do well? I haven't checked

 

[TD]

did they do well? I haven't checked

Just a bit, 35 points.

 

[Cole]

well of course they did. I'm a football expert and I know what I am doing.

 

[Tubby23]

John Madden
Cole Coleman
Bill Belichick

 

[Cole]

John Madden
Cole Coleman
Bill Belichick

who do you think told Belichek to draft Brady?

 

[Mark]

who do you think told Belichek to draft Brady?

Teenage Cole. Draft prodigy.

Also… JK Dobbins out for the season, torn Achilles. Looks like Jackson’s gonna take more hits having more run pressure put on him and the other backs.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

who do you think told Belichek to draft Brady?

a hobo told Jimmy Haslam to draft Johnny Football.

Blind squirrel can find a nut on occasion.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Too busy formulating my Top 20 Songs list. I have the game on in the background on the Manningcast, but I can't see shit.

 

[VashTheStampede]

Rodgers injured already?

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Rodgers injured already?

There goes my chance at taking the lead in the Pick 'Em.

 

[Mark]

Rodgers injured already?

That didn’t take long if so… time for some peyote or ayahuasca.

 

[VashTheStampede]

Oh shit they're carting him to the back

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Yikers, they're carting him off.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

 

[VashTheStampede]

I try not to take joy in the pain of people I dislike.

I try real hard.

At least he's not a total piece of shit like Brett Favre... he's mostly just unlikable.

 

[VashTheStampede]

I'd argue he's a moderate piece of shit but yeah, nowhere in the Favre or even Peyton ballparks.

 

[TD]

There goes my chance at taking the lead in the Pick 'Em.

Well we would've stayed tied lol

 

[TD]

Maybe Wilson can lead the Jets over the Bills.

 

[VashTheStampede]

Jets D is swarming

 

[The Eye in the Sky!]

That Rodgers injury is the Jetsiest thing that could have happened.
