unclevlad Posted September 25, 2022 Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 26 minutes ago, Pariah said: What in the Nine Hells is going on in Minneapolis? Looks like a very low-risk, grinder-style offense from the box score. Vikes have 28 first downs...but only 318 yards. Longest reception is 17 yards. Combine that with 2 missed FGs, and...things are not good. But the Lions just missed a FG, so the Vikes will get the ball in excellent field position, with decent time on the clock. EDIT: too much time. Vikes score way too easily to take the lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death tribble Posted September 25, 2022 Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 Quite a few close games but one was too close. And the Browns beat the Steelers ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted September 25, 2022 Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 Steelers are out of good players, especially at quarterback. Raiders have good players that can’t get out of their own way. Meanwhile, Miami is 3-0 after knocking off the Pats, Ravens, and Bills. They could be a decent football team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Steelers have serious problems on offense. It's still very early, but Trubisky's got a track record...that's much more bad to VERY bad, than good. As long as he's in, it seems unlikely the problems will be solved. And Mike Tomlin is stubborn, so it seems unlikely he'll change soon.

Logan D. Hurricanes Posted September 26, 2022 Report Share Posted September 26, 2022 Holy crap. HOLY CRAP! Did you see that game?? Of course not, no one else watches the Jags... but holy crap! That's two games now where we look like a real team. A real good team. Damn. I'm about to become insufferable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than the odds of the Broncos playing well this year... For a game in good weather, on a good field, this might be the worst combined exhibition of offensive football I've seen in years. With 10 minutes left, the teams are a combined 3-23 on third down. 13 offensive points...the safety should count as -2 for offense, that was HORRIBLE...and 16 punts. Mr. P, I'd suggest 2 ounces of topical muscle relaxant of your preferred style. Repeat as needed...but not more than 3 doses per evening.

Pariah Posted September 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2022 I don't need topical muscle relaxant. I have cyclobenzaprine. And Mother of Hades, I believe that was the ugliest game I have ever seen as a Broncos fan. And that's not nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted September 26, 2022 Report Share Posted September 26, 2022 I stand by my prediction of 4-13 for the Squawks this season. With the gaffe/gift from Denver in week 1, I think they have solid chances against the Raiders and Jets, modest chances against the Lions and Saints, and a feeble chance against the Chargers.

unclevlad Posted September 26, 2022 Report Share Posted September 26, 2022 At this point I'm not at all sure where Denver will end up, altho I don't think they'll make the playoffs. The offense is horrible, but the defense is better than I thought. How much of this evening was the Niners? Some, I gotta think. That safety was a marginal call at best, and Jimmy G basically panicked. I'll give Denver an A- on defense, with the Niner ineptness turning it into an A+. Oh, and let's give kudos to the punters and punt coverage, both ways. Can't recall the last time I saw that many punts burying the return team that deep. Kicking teams, too.

Speaking of inept, next week is Broncos at Raiders. It's the inept vs. the incompetent, yet someone has to win!* * I'm sure both teams will find a way to lose somehow.

unclevlad Posted September 27, 2022 Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 It'll have to go quite a ways to be worse than that debacle of last night, and somehow the Broncos were credited with a win. Speaking of debacles...I forgot entirely it was Monday night til just now. Go Giants!!! (By far the least objectionable team in that division...)

unclevlad Posted September 27, 2022 Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 The post-game drama may well be whether Kenny Golladay goes back to complaining about his usage...or lack thereof. 3 targets, no catches; a significant drop late. EDIT: Some Giants fans are less than thrilled. https://gmenhq.com/2022/09/26/ny-giants-fans-blasting-kenny-golladay-mnf-loss/ Can't blame them. His contract is huge...and weird. And done by the guys who got fired. Why it's not working is anyone's guess, but it's a disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slikmar Posted September 27, 2022 Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 Sherman seemed to forget to catch too AND cost them a 15 yard penalty gain because he just had to come off the bench and get in a guys face for a slightly late hit on QB Idiot.
