Official Week 2 Other Games Thread

[Joemailman]

Greg Hardy inactive for Panthers today. A lot of people will be happy about this. Especially Matt Stafford.

[Rastak]

Vikings drive the field and score to open the game......Lions in Panthers territory.


edit: Lions miss the FG

[gbgary]

det miss fg. 0-0

[gbgary]

love that garage door commercial.

[gbgary]

nearly a td int for ne.

[Rastak]

Same for NE

[gbgary]

ne punches it in.

[Guiness]

Nice INT and run back by the safety, the receiver didn't even know he was there.

A rare penalty on the play before the INT - illegal snap by center. No replay so I didn't see what the problem was, but there was time on the clock at the snap, no reason for a vet center to snap the ball before everyone was set.

Numeris commercial - that was good!

[Rastak]

Detroit dominating the time of possession.

[gbgary]

incredible catch by Johnson but det fumble it away next play. way to go car.

[gbgary]

Lots of injuries so far. Rg3, desean jackson, noshown moreno...all out.

[Rastak]

NE 10 Minn 7 - close game so far....

[Rastak]

Lots of injuries so far. Rg3, desean jackson, noshown moreno...

RG3 one is likely a positive one for the Skins.

[gbgary]

Edelman td for ne.

[gbgary]

RG3 one is likely a positive one for the Skins.

it looks that way from what I'm seeing on twitter.

[gbgary]

cle up on no right now. wow

[Rastak]

NE up 17-7 now...Cassel is fucking up....had to happen eventually.

[Rastak]

cle up on no right now. wow


How about Buffalo.

[gbgary]

can't believe dal is having such an easy time with ten.

[gbgary]

How about Buffalo.

buf up 9-0.

[gbgary]

jennings called for a pick. :)

[Rastak]

Minny fucked now....blocked FG for a TD 24-7 Patriots.

[Bossman641]

Damn, that hurts for Minn

[gbgary]

Blocked fg for a td for ne. lol...sorry rast...have to laugh.

[Rastak]

jennings called for a pick. :)

Not sure on that call....

[red]

that wasn't a very pretty few minutes for the queens

and that is how a special teams can have a positive impact on a game. just so you guys know, seeings how we haven't seen that in a long time

[Guiness]

Asiata is looking like a load to tackle, reminds me of Marion Barber.

And there's a blocked FG returned for a TD. Turn out the lights, the party's over.

Thanks Dandy Don.......:shock:

Yea, I love outdoor games when I'm inside watching them.....does bring me back to my youth.

Well, except for the occasional time Bush downs a punt inside the 5:|

[Rastak]

Ha ha....time was running out for the Skins then dumbass Jags called a timeout for them instead of letting the clock run out.

[Fosco33]

I thought Cousins looked very good last time RG3 was hurt... and he looks >RG3 again. I think he just injured himself out of a starting job.

Nah, they mortgaged the franchise to get that dude. I can;t see them dumping him even if they should.

[gbgary]

det take the lead in car. cam needs to get going.

[red]

how long of a leash does cassell have ras?

[Rastak]

More than one shitty game I would guess.


edit: missed one

[gbgary]

bulaga inactive today.

[Rastak]

bulaga inactive today.

Surprised he got so many reps leading up to the game.

[Cheesehead Craig]

No AP and the Vikes offense is not so good.

[Rastak]

No AP and the Vikes offense is not so good.


Seriously, that's your analysis? You watching?

[gbgary]

car retakes lead.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Yep. The dropoff at RB is like the Pack dropoff at QB from Rodgers last year. Having to rely on Cassell due to that, and you're seeing what that leads to.

[gbgary]

cle retakes lead.

The drop off from Rodgers was like jumping off a cliff. The drop off from Peterson last week is 1 yards per carry. Not good for sure but me thinks the slew of turnovers are the the real story here.


edit: They are not better without him though...not saying that.

[gbgary]

cin killing atl.

[gbgary]

if ten can get a td they'll be back in the game against dal. come on ten.

AP to Asiata is a huge dropoff. It's not just 1 ypc, come on Ras.

I will say this, I am enjoying seeing the Vikes outside. Feels right.

In this game it hasn;t been the difference at all but yes, I am not saying Asiata is any sort of answer whatsoever.

[Freak Out]

Asiata is not bad....the difference is the TO's and the blocked FG. It doesn't help that the Viking D is getting bitch slapped.

They weren't until the 3rd quarter.

[Rastak]

Lions getting whipped now. No pun intended.

[Cheesehead Craig]

What's happening with NO?

[Guiness]

Panthers beating the crap out of Stafford. A late hit (penalized) followed by 2 consecutive sacks.

[Rastak]

Browns game is a barn burner.....

[Joemailman]

Lions getting whipped now. No pun intended.

After about 20 years with the consistent Jason Hanson, Lions with a rookie kicker who is 0-2. That's a switch.

[Rastak]

Bills whip ass.

I know....actually I'm just hoping for 3-3 the first 6 games.

[denverYooper]

What's happening with NO?

Lotta season left, but apparently Sean Payton was caught chewing out Rob Ryan on the sidelines during the Browns final drive.

Jason La Canfora ‏@JasonLaCanfora 2m
That Sean Payton/Rob Ryan dynamic will be worth watching. Lot of assets put into the D. Give up game-losing drives 2 weeks in a row

[Joemailman]

Giants 0-2. Is Coughlin on the hot seat this year, or does 2 Lombardi Trophies buy him some more time?

[Rastak]

Might be getting pretty hot.

[Infamous]

Rivers and SD are putting on a CLINIC v Sherman and Seattle defense...very impressive!!

[Infamous]

Antonio Gates fountain of youth KILLING Seattle LBs

[Infamous]

ANTONIO GATES!!!

[Freak Out]

Gates is such a badass.

[Teamcheez1]

49'ers up 7-0. There would be nothing better than to see the Bears go 0-2 to start the season.

[digitaldean]

The Chargers proved they are a very good team by sticking it to the Seahags.

Hey Bretsky, how about Pewaukee's own JJ WATT's TD catch! The man can do it all!!

[ThunderDan]

10-0 SF still in the first.

[ThunderDan]

No catch? Looked like he was still juggling the ball. It was a great throw by Cutler either way.

[denverYooper]

49'ers up 7-0. There would be nothing better than to see the Bears go 0-2 to start the season.

I wish they could both lose.

[ThunderDan]

Horrible penalty for illegal block. The Bears player was even with the 49er when he started the block.

Glad they picked up that flag.

[Tyrion Lannister]

Conte pick! Funny, at one point the dude was the most hated man in Chicago.

[pbmax]

Giants 0-2. Is Coughlin on the hot seat this year, or does 2 Lombardi Trophies buy him some more time?

They were ready to run him out of town after the first one, same season they won the second. His grace period might be over. That was the fans though, not sure how Mara and Jerry Reese are feeling about him.

[pittstang5]

Wow, Conte, what a play.

[pbmax]

Going to put this here:

Cousins started like a house on fire last time he got to replace RGIII and by the end of the season was a tire fire. Predict the same thing this year.

[pbmax]

Richard Sherman ‏@RSherman_25 35m
Lmao Exposed? .... Complete 3 passes 0 touchdowns 0 explosive passes.... These guys make me laugh

Charles Woodson's performance appraisal after Oakland fells to 0-2: "We suck" http://wp.me/p14QSB-9zvz


We have to get Chuck back to Green Bay when he career is over. Maybe he and Tauscher can kidnap Vic Ketchman and just take over the Packer pre game.

[Guiness]

Cutler gets gooned. Speared with the helmet right in the sternum, surprised he's upright.

Marshall with a circus catch for a td.

edit Dial with the hit on Cutler

[ThunderDan]

Great catch by Marshall for a TD.

[ThunderDan]

Bears give themselves a little life before half.

[denverYooper]

Cutler just started winging bombs at the end there.

[pbmax]

Bears have an offense with an idea. Trestman as offensive coach is legit. They have adjusted after struggling mightily.

[pbmax]

Seachickens got a free TD in their loss.

NFL: Harvin touchdown was incorrectly confirmed (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/09/14/nfl-harvin-touchdown-was-incorrectly-confirmed/)

[pbmax]

Holy crap, is Rex Grossman stil in the League? With the Bears?

Apparently not, 8 is Jimmy Clausen. Also can't believe he is still around.

[pittstang5]

Why can't kaperfuck play like this when he plays the Pack

Never mind, I think I know the answer

[Tyrion Lannister]

Kap gave the Pack plenty of opportunities to pick off his passes in the last playoff game.

Problem was, none of the defenders could catch the ball.

[digitaldean]

I here I thought the Muppets of the Midway were for sure going 0-2. Makes the next 2 games A LOT more interesting for the Packers.

[pbmax]

Bears defense is playing like Packers old D. Bleeding yards but getting TOs. They have at least 4 preferred starters out of the game.

[Guiness]

Never happy seeing the Bears winning, but don't mind this one - hoping MM and the boys are watching and can take something away from this!

[Tyrion Lannister]

As Packers fans, we should be rooting for the Niners in this one.

[pbmax]

Wow. Would not have called this a Bears win.

[Tyrion Lannister]

Game over. Nice win for the hated Bears.

[pbmax]

Gil Brandt ‏@Gil_Brandt 5m
.@AZCardinals are 1st team since 1982 Packers to start 2-0 after trailing entering 4th QTR in both games and not allowing a 4th-QTR point.

[denverYooper]

Game over. Nice win for the hated Bears.

I hate to see the Bears win but I want to see the wheels come off in San Fransisco.

Green Bay can deal with the Bears. The 9ers have given them fits for the last few years.

[denverYooper]

The 49ers once stellar OL looked more like Green Bay's tonight. And Vernon Davis left the game with an injury. Let's see how good Kaepernick is when he doesn't have an all-pro line and top 5 TE.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Kyle Fuller looks like he'll be a special player.

[pbmax]

Kyle Fuller looks like he'll be a special player.

Collingsworth had a great point about how the TE breaking off his route to help Kap put Fuller into play.

But he looks phenomenal regardless. Great feet and hips to play that route then redirect toward middle to grab the ball.

[Pugger]

I think we did last night.

The bares are good at getting take-aways and IMO was the main reason why they won. No team can overcome 4 turnovers either at home or on the road.

[pbmax]

Tom Kessenich ‏@TomKessenich 10m
The Skins are 1-3 in games he's started. RT @RickyBo60099188 @billbarnwell All I know is Cuz wins

[Joemailman]

Bears to place Charles Tillman on IR with torn triceps. Same injury as last year. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000395329/article/charles-tillman-tore-triceps-bears-place-him-on-ir

[Tony Oday]

Erik Walden lost contain on Foles.

[pittstang5]

Erik Walden lost contain on Foles.

I think you might be saying that alot tonight.

[pbmax]

Indeed, Walden lost contain on the Eagles first TD.

But the Eagles are only in this game because of turnovers. Richardson fumble and Luck INT. The INT was partially because the receiver fell down while cutting back outside on his route.

Eagles tie it late.

[ThunderDan]

Shitty officiating allows Phil to tie the game instead of being down by two scores.

WR didn't fall down. He was held by the PHI DB and couldn't make his break back to the ball.

[pbmax]

Yeah it kinda looked like that on the one replay I saw. I missed the next Colts drive. My understanding is that they ran Richardson, got nowhere and had to turn the ball over?

Sounds like Mike's four minute offense.

2 runs for 5 yards, an incomplete pass and a punt. Eagles drive down in a minute and a half and score the winning FG.

If I had to answer the ongoing battle between Wilde and FO's Scott Kacsmar about the possible reasons for Rodgers record in 4QC, that four minute offense would be reason #1. To do something unexpected, play action pass, in order to get 2 or 3 new downs is better than that sequence.

Heck, its one time that Rodgers holding onto the ball rather than throw a contested ball would be preferable. If you don't retreat and lose less than 7 yards, its still a win on the clock.
