(Except when it's a team in the Bills' division, or the Cowboys) There's no other word for that play call: it was stupid. Just like the throw in the Super Bowl. I honestly think the rest of Seattle's coaching staff should stage an intervention...."Okay Pete, whatever stupid call you're thinking of right now, think again!" Damn, going way back! Im not a fan of the Hawks myself but was a fan of some of the players they've had over the years, a young Joey Galloway, Chris Warren, Richard Sherman. No disrespect to Walter Jones, but Steve Hutchinson was just as big of a catalyst in those tough running Hawks teams with Shaun Alexander. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Not sure what difference that makes ) I wonder if any of the Raiders or Ravens will test positive now..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dats hockey 1,165 Posted October 4, 2020 Absolutely wild how the NFL hasn’t put a stop to teams bringing in fans with these cases popping up. Brainless Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NucksPatsFan 2,107 Posted October 4, 2020 Don’t know if I agree with making a team hop on a 4 hour flight on the same day they play. Would never fly in the nhl making the Canucks fly out in the morning to Winnipeg or Ottawa and play that night. We weren’t gonna win with Hoyer/Stidham anyways but the risk for injury is much higher Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Down by the River 12,388 Posted October 4, 2020 Whoever mixes the sound for these NFL games is doing an absolutely horrible job of balancing the fake crowd noise with the announcers. This is bush league. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BoKnows 3,972 Posted October 5, 2020 Cooper, Hunt, Thelien, and Kittle brought me to 3-1 in fantasy. I hope Newton is good to go next week, he can have a huge game against the dolphins Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This has been a massive problem for them in the past too. Alton Smith was a big add, but they just...I don't know. Garrett was an issue, but it's even more clear now that the roster still has holes.

On OBJ's 50 yard run at the end when it was a 3 point game, 3 Dallas guys just tapped him on the back or shoulder, 0 effort in trying to bring him down.

Yeah, I was watching that play and my friend even said "is this two-hand touch". My Packers buddy was happy McCarthy left Green Bay, and I'm starting to see why, but there still needs to be more done. Maybe a whole new scheme defensively, I don't know, but they always struggle to beat the really good teams and I attribute it to poor defense and untimely turnovers.

From an article at the NFL website: "The Dallas defense under [defensive coach Mike] Nolan has been a mess. Sunday's 307 rush yards allowed to the Browns was the most in a single game in Cowboys history. The 126 points allowed over the past three games is the most in any three-game span in team history. And the 38-plus points allowed in three consecutive games is the first time a Cowboys club did so since 1960, the first year of the franchise's existence. We've been looking at a historically bad Cowboys defense. Defenses around the NFL have been mostly bad to start the 2020 season, but Dallas takes the cake." https://www.nfl.com/news/stephen-jones-cowboys-have-no-plans-of-making-drastic-coaching-changes-after-1-3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
