Week 7 NFL Thread: Parity aplenty

NFL suspends Marshawn Lynch 1 game after ejection

And it is a one-game suspension for Beast Mode.

I thought he was going to get two games: One for contact with an official and one for leaving the sidelines. Honestly, it's now in the Raiders' court. With his lack of contribution on the field and his antics in this game and after it, one has to wonder how much longer they are going to put up with it.

Just Marshawn being Marshawn.

New Hampshire auto dealer running ads on Boston TV during the games today, saying that buying a car from his slick-talking dishonest competitors (unnamed) "is like buying a car from Roger Goodell."
Five Super Bowls and these fans are still full of grievance. No wonder Kraft and Brady liked Trump.

Perhaps Colin Kaepernick has unified all of us around the need for change after all.

The Ravens often remind me of a crappy boxer who manages to hang on to his opponent long enough to have a shot at the end.

The Vikings started fast against them today with a three-and-out and a long punt return, but Keenum threw an interception on Minnesota's first play from scrimmage, which was in Baltimore territory. The Vikings forced a fumble with a big hit on Mike Wallace, but a full minute after the play was over, the officials had a conference and threw a flag for a personal foul. It was probably the right call, but it sure seemed like they used the replay on the scoreboard to make it. Either that or they decided that if a player had a concussion, somebody on the other team must have done something illegal.

(It looks like it wasn't the hit that caused the concussion. The hit knocked Wallace's helmet off and he hit the back of his head hard when he went to the ground. )

Blake Bortles already has more passing yards today than he did two weeks ago against the Steelers.

To be fair, he really didn't need to throw the entire second half of that game.

Is it just me, or does the turf look weird at a couple of stadiums today?
Miami's grass looks like Soldier Field in December, and the Colts' turf looks more like the old stuff at the RCA Dome than the newer surface at Lucas Oil.

Well, Hundley isn't Rodgers, but he isn't wholly ineffective, either.

I heard before the game that the field in Miami was a mess from the college game yesterday.

Makes sense. It looks really brown, though. Like it hasn't been getting enough sunlight. I wondered if it has something to do with the half-dome of a stadium that they have now.

Do all of the morning games feature back-up quarterbacks?

Browns tackle Joe Thomas left the game against Tennessee with a triceps injury. That ended a streak of more than 10,000 consecutive snaps played over 10-plus seasons.

What did he do in a previous life to deserve 10,000 consecutive snaps with the Browns?

Serial killer?

At this point, the Bears defense (151 yards on two turnovers returned for TDs) has more yards than the Bears offense (140 yards). We Bears fans will take it!

Goff, not a bust

 

[Songbird]

Why they play.

Carolina goes into New England and wins.

Carolina goes into Chicago and ****s the bed.

Because that's supposed to happen.

So, I guess Adrian Peterson sucks again. Hell of a week, though!
