NFL Discussion Thread - Hall of Fame Game: August 3rd

[Chester McFloppy]

For those complaining about game manager Smith, mistake free football goes a long way.

People are complaining because it's boring as ****, not because it's effective.

I'm a fan of defense and think these pinball passing numbers are terrible for the game. Watching Alex Smith dink and dunk passes 3-5 yards down the field sucks ***. He'll continue to win games this way, but lets see what happens when the Chiefs get punched in the mouth.

Bell was a full participant Thursday, but he's not expected to be ready for Chicago. Lisfranc sprain and adjusting to a new blocking scheme.

 

[DeadsetAce]

Heath is expected to play SNF. Two straight full practices with no discomfort.

good to know

Last night showed how bad the loss of Maclin is.

We were robbed a chance at seeing their full team out there with this offense. D-Jax, Mac, Celek, Shady, Bryce, and Vick is too much. Would have been so much fun. Not as much fun as Cooper has at a klan meeting, but fun nonetheless.

 

[buc em]

Pitt's defense is washed up, their offensive line reaaally sucks, their offense sucks....it's time to rebuild.

 

[don ramon]

NFC east killin it

literally killin' the sport we know as football

5 wins will win the division

Cowboys are 1-1, we lost by ONE point on the ROAD to this team that everyone feels is a 10 win Wildcard team, with a strong possiblity of reaching 11 wins.

The other bums in the division might be hovering around 6 wins all year, but the Cowboys will be a 10-11 win squad

nah, y'all suck too. don't get gassed up on one win - one win you barely escaped with

I knew this gimmicky chip.Kelly offense wasn't gonna work in the league. When ever dude played good defenses in college the **** didn't even work

Eagles averaged 6.8 yards per play last night.. No team in the nfl averaged more than 6.2 last year

253 rushing yards on 25 carries







Through 3 games: McCoy has 395 rushing yards and desean has 359 receiving yards

Vick has 832 passing yards and 183 rushing yards

EXACTLY, and thats with a game where we had 5 turnovers, still put up 200+ rushing yds....defense is our issue and execution but every team must execute to win.

Is anyone else worried about what kind of hits Suh might give Bobby 3K this Sunday?

I hope they put a titanium brace on that knee just in case Suh's in the mood for an unnecessary hit....

I'm curious to see what happens to him next year.. Since he is a free agent.. And think he's already bounced back from a knee injury..

Wish him the best.. But I don't think he's coming back to philly

at the Riley line...hes a scrub too, like if you're gonna be an unlikable racist at LEAST be able to make plays..I was conflicted when he caught the TD last week

I think JMac comes back though, unless we plan on drafting or signing a good receiver in free agency bc we need someone to take attention from DJax

 

[buc em]

The Patriots are gonna sign Maclin. Watch.

 

[jjs07]

Skip Bayless at it again...

I'm told by a ******** insider -- a trusted source -- that you, Mike, initially weren't all that wild about trading up from No. 6 overall to No. 2 to draft RG3.

[shox23]

The Patriots are gonna sign Maclin. Watch.

Then cut him right before the season starts.

If he doesn't re sign here he should go to Carolina Cam could use the help.

 

[dmxfury]

Strangely I think Pitt may win as well. No real reason why, just a feeling. I hope not, it will just hurt draft status


And the D has played well the first two games. Not as dominant as an 08 season but plenty good enough. I am excited for the return of my all time favorite TE

 

[IATT]

Can we start a fund to get someone to punch skip in the face..

I got 20 on it

Their offense isn't a gimmick. It's more of a tempo. The reason why it was so effective at Oregon was because of the efficiency at which they produced points. Almost every drive resulted in a score. So far in Philadelphia we've seen a lot of do or die. If the Eagles get a defensive stop and then their offense goes 3 and out , the defense is right back on the field in just over a minute of having just been out there. The same can be applied to turnovers. For the offense to work, it is a must that they sustain drives and definitely not turn the ball over.

All of this....still think Andy had some voodoo on us bc when he showed up we were cooking up fresh turnovers like Big Red forgot to eat dessert

NFC east is lookin' shaky baby

 

[champcruthik]

It's also at Heinz. I don't expect Steelers fans to give up on their team just yet.

 

[larrydavid]

lets not act as if your team doesn't have many issues of its own. a jekyll and hyde offensive line, a porous defense, and a coaching staff that refuses to run the ball.

A porus defense? That's not true, the other two things can be fixed/patched up with more time together.

NFC east killin it

literally killin' the sport we know as football

I'd bet 1000 dollars dallas doesn't win 11 games.

Stop it 5, you don't have a $1,000 to gamble.

Aldon Smith arrested on suspicion of DUI after one-vehicle crash Friday morning.

How stupid can this guy be? He's not helping his cause...Or SF's.
