Week 3 Other Games Thread

I wonder if teams like SF and SEA that pride themselves on being physical will wear themselves out by playoff time. SF especially, seem like they have a lot of veterans and don't substitute as much as others.

Steelers look undermanned on offense and limited on D.

Bears can be run on but Steelers not taking advantage of it.

You are right. They rarely substitute and were blessed the last 2 years with good health. They don't keep people fresh. Aldon Smith is headed to rehab and Willis injured his groin. This defense is going to take a hit at some point, and that point may be now.

Brandon Marshall does not believe in trying to draw defenses offside.

Bears have failed to put the Steelers away. I am always amazed the Steeler defense finds a way to adjust. Though it still doesn't look like Cutler likes his other receivers besides marshall. Maybe Bennett.

Marshall, Marshall, Marshall!

Harbaugh is getting McCarthy'd for going away from the running game yesterday.

Remember when no one could stop Kaepernick?

Wow do the Giants look just shitty.

Wow do the Giants look just shitty.

Loved this ESPN header:

The Giants aren't underachieving. They are simply one of the NFL's worst teams.

Getting shutout versus the Panthers D is embarrassing but somewhat understandable. Allowing 30+ points to the Panthers offense is probably a fireable offense.

As good as I think Newton could be, they have been a catastrophe with Shula as O coordinator.

bears defense scores another TD. some things never change.

If SF keeps playing like they have the last 2 games we won't have to worry about that bunch.

Atlanta is also 1-2. The only teams with winning records in the NFC are the Bears, Loins, SEA, Dallas and NO.

[MadScientist]

Cleveland fucked up their 'trade talent to get a really high draft pick' plan by beating the Vikings.

There's that but their D just does not look as solid as it has over the last few years. They've had a tendency to get pretty leaky.

TBH. They're playing a bit like the 2011 Packers D: giving up a lot of big plays but getting a lot of takeaways. Even the struggling Steelers offense hit some big plays.
