NFL 2016 Discussion Thread - Ready for Some Football

@patoday: Is Revis on Wallace? Not sure who else on the Dolphins can be a potential threat to the Pats.

@patoday: I feel the same way with Houston and Washington. Either that defense is playing lights out or RG3 has lost all of his mojo.

@thepickle: I'd like to say it's all Gus Bradley and his revamped defense but Nick Foles is doing his best Mark Sanchez imitation.

Phillys D was always suspect. It's more of a shock that the offense has stalled.

Holy fuck the Browns are looking... like the Browns

@i_stay_puft: Yeah, Wallace has beaten him at least one, but three straight turnovers for Miami so far. This is kinda great because I haven't heard Vince Wilforks name mentioned once and the defense is still killing it.

@patoday: That dude was on IR last year right? Wonder if Wilfork will still be the same, he's at least in his mid 30's by now.

Da Bears are who we thought they were? Smells like another upset in the works between the Bills and Bears. Bills up 17-7.

@i_stay_puft: yeah, achilles injury last season. He's only 32 and still takes up two bodies in the middle.

Logan Ryan hit Lamar Miller so hard Miller fumbled the ball and his shoe came off and went so high in the air the Patriots recovered the ball and started celebrating before the shoe landed.

@patoday: LMAO

Just watched RGIII take another sack... It can't be all on RGIII though that offensive line looks terrible. They have Polumbus on the line for the Redskins I remember that dude on the Hawks line 5 years ago when the o-line was terrible back then.

Kansas City is doing everything they can to convince me last year was a fluke season.

Reporting live from Twitter, the Chicago Bears' very own Patrick Klepek!

I'm liking the beard on Brady

@thepickle: According to CBS "His wife doesn't like it but his offensive lineman do. Quite a conundrum"

obviously have beard, half shaved.

Wow, a Steelers player just dropped kick the Browns kicker. Alright think it's time to end this sideshow with "Johnny Cleveland."

Shaun Hill benched, looks like Jeff Fisher is sweating.

@i_stay_puft: they're saying Hill is injured and considering he hasn't played in 4 years, I believe it.

@noboners: At least the Rams won the RGIII deal a few years ago. RGIII looks terrible, I hate to say it but RGIII is starting to look like Mark Sanchez 2.0. All he needs now is a butt fumble to confirm it.

Play of the year

@mems1224 That would of been pretty funny if that was Johnny Manziel. I would of shook my head and went yup. Poor Cleveland fans.

I wonder if it's more of a mental block than anything with him though.

Kickers and punters are the eternal Rodney Dangerfields of the football world. No respect!

@patoday: More than likely it's just a really poor offensive line. Clowney's out, they're probably doubling Watts, but there's been a few other people on that d-line for the Texans who literally had a straight shot at RGIII.

thanks to autodraft he's my QB in one of the GB FF leagues :(

Darrelle Revis just got burned by Tannehill and Mike Wallace.

Busting this out early:

Patrick's tweet about "At least I'm not a Eagles fan."

Bears lose, Eagles win.

Heh.

Vikes defense looking like an All-Pro team compared to last year. Damn was last year tough to watch.

Thats what he gets lol

Who will throw more INT this year Romo or Cutler?

edit

Romo: 3 (seriously wtf Romo)

Cutler: 2

Well Browns fans, at least you aren't Cowboy fans.

28-3... time to unleash Blaine GOATbert to finish the job

All I can say is, I'm pretty pumped the Dolphins not only beat the Patriots, but ended their opening game winning streak that started back in 2004! Even without all its starters, the Dolphins' offensive line looked better than last year's and both Miller and Moreno got some good runs! Go Fins!

The Cowboys...just, man. I mean it's almost a given now that they'll be 8-8 or 9-7 until they clean house isn't it?

They kind of remind me of the Seahawks in that period between the first Super Bowl appearance until we hired Pete Carrol.

In a twisted way, this clip could also represent the plight of the Dallas Cowboys.

Eating these words right now.

this is not a good football play josh mccown

As a Jets fan, I'm gladded you guys kicked The Patriots butts.

I feel like Jason Garrett is trapped in a strange purgatory that he'll never escape from. Even after his contract expires, his soul will remain cut in half. 8-8, as it were.

@jasonr86: Notice how much better our defense was when all of the starting linebackers got injured, that is not a coincidence. Sadly, I couldn't watch the game 'cause I live in a market that caters to Jags and Bucs fans. People are still sleeping on Wake.

Tom Brady is still crazy:

And shellshocked:

Browns fan here, and my beloved team is now 1-15 in season openers since coming back in '99. CLE showed some surprising fight in coming back from 27-3, but moral victories do little for me, particularly against the rival Steelers. Browns always find a way to lose, and that needs to change.

well that 49ers game turned out well

and while romo did throw 3 ints, i think the rumor of the niners d sucking were greatly exaggerated...

I don't think the d was going to suck that bad, but man if the opposing qb is throwing to a wideout who is covered by three defenders it's like what did you expect to happen?

"Well, it worked in Madden '95!"
