NFL Week 3 thread

[Mr. Sunshine]

People would never believe the world's biggest Internet troll is a 63-year-old man.

Wandering off topic for a moment, but it's a relevant question with the new PAT rules. Heard some talk about the Lions-Broncos screw-up on the Thomas touchdown last night and it got me thinking.
Let's say there's a personal foul on the PAT that pushes the ball back to a 48-yard try, then another on the next attempt that makes it a 63-yard field goal.
My multi-part question:
1) Does the team still have to try a 63-yard PAT from there, or can they go for two at that point from near midfield?
2) If they can go for two, and there's a pass interference penalty on the attempt (say inside the 10-yard line on a hail mary throw), is it a spot foul or just a 15-yard penalty?

All good questions. Still not a fan of the change, but I guess we have to see how it goes over a longer period of time.

In his last 18 games at Lambeau, Aaron Rodgers with 47 TDs, 0 INTs.

Getting ready to watch the NFL's "best" QB … who's 2-4 in the playoffs since winning his lone Super Bowl.

Great to see Aaron Rodgers front-running with five TD passes against decimated KC secondary. Woo!

So Skip would be more impressed by two?

 

[Mr. Sunshine]

Alex Smith in a nutshell: He directs a 17-PLAY drive against a prevent defense and needs a running play to get into the end zone.

Rodgers made fun of God, or anyway of God squadder Russell Wilson, so Skip's gonna hate him forever. Your best trolls are your sincere trolls.

I'm sure no one cares what Skippy thinks. He's a chronic masturbater to Highlights Magazine

 

[Evil ... Thy name is Orville Redenbacher!!]

So... Packers-Pats Super Bowl with everyone outside of NE area rooting for the Packers?

 

[Mr. Sunshine]

Oh, there might be a few others rooting for the Patriots in such a scenario.

 

[Evil ... Thy name is Orville Redenbacher!!]

Bears fans don't count.

I still can't get over that last play of the first half. Chiefs around midfield with 8 seconds left, they bunch of the receivers for a Hail Mary, and Smith drops back, steps up in the pocket, and instead of chucking the ball to the end zone, or rolling to the right to buy more time so he can chuck the ball into the end zone, he decides to run the ball?

He is so averse to throwing a ball deep that he likes his chances of scrambling for a 50-yard touchdown? ****ing-A, put the ball up and see what happens.

Also trade Bostic to Patriots.
If it's a total tear down, do they trade Forte? He's got to have the most value of anyone, right? I'd at least call Dallas and see what they'd offer.

Good point i.e. Forte. I get the Allen trade but I thought Bostic was a pretty good player. Perhaps you or someone else can enlighten me with thoughts on that deal? I wouldn't be surprised if Bostic flourishes with New England.

You trade good players because no one wants to trade for the others.

Hope that's enlightening.

Don't really know. Chicago SJ could probably speak to it better than me. But my guess is that he wasn't a "scheme fit" for new staff.

My guess is yours is a good one. I recall now some of that same stuff being reported during camp.

Jeez, just another reminder of how Wk 1 perceptions change so fast; for the 49ers from the glow of a 1-0 pasting of the Vikings to this:

49ers’ passing game is in disarray

Tomsula declares the 49ers are not a "drop-back passing team"!!??? WTF?? Its 2015!! In a 47-7 blowout, the 49ers went total turtle and ran it 29 times and only threw it 19; and for that whopping 67 yds. Boy, fanboy here totally bought the pasting of the Vikings, who I thought was a team on the rise. Only thing I take away now is how the hell did the Vikings (now 2-1) lose to that team?

 

[Mr. Sunshine]

I guess Carlos Hyde will never play past the mid-third quarter again. #fantasyprobz
