NFL Week 8 Thread

Julio Jones with 99 receiving yards ... in the first quarter. If they still had newspapers, he might get his name in one.

 

I know I've said this a million times in a million ways, but Brandon Browner is absolute crap.

 

Roethlisberger looked sharp throwing the ball on the opening possession, but he clearly isn't 100 percent.

Also, for some reason, Martavis Bryant isn't getting much time since that first drive, but the broadcast crew still hasn't noticed.

 

So much for the Steelers finally getting to see what their offense can do when it is intact. Le'Veon Bell just hurt his knee and it does not look good.

 

I'm curious how long it's going to take defensive coordinators to figure out how to stop the Giants' go-to pass play at the 1-yard line. They spread things out, with Beckham and Dwayne Harris to the right. Harris runs a 1-yard out that is essentially a pick play (and it's legal because it's within a yard of the LOS), Beckham drags along the line of scrimmage and is wide open. Both their scores today have come on that play, and they've used it in previous weeks, so it's not like the Saints had no film on it.

Unfortunately for the G-Men, their defense is about as solid as warm butter right now.

 

Huge unsportsmanlike conduct call on the Steelers. Bengals stopped on third down, but Mike Mitchell got in A.J. Green's face away from the play. Then gain, Green was doing every bit as much yapping as Mitchell. Weak call looks like it will allow the Bengals to take the lead.

 

Giants need to be throwing every pass at whoever Browner is covering. They'd never have to complete a pass 'cause there would be a flag on every play.

 

Why did the Giants not take their timeout after that completion inside the 10?

 

Same play here?

 

I thought they were going to run that play up to the left side. Nice job switching it up, with Vereen wide open. Guess they need to be a yard closer to bust out that play to Beckham.

 

Rex Ryan is a shitty coach. White privilege

 

Thank you, Andy Dalton. Huge mistake, throwing an interception into the Pittsburgh end zone.
