Early afternoon game thread

S. Barkley hasn't impressed me much.

To be fair, he is being hit in the back field every time he touches the ball.

 

[texbumthelife]

So do I. It would be really cool to see them become a contender again. I'm old enough to remember them as a legit powerhouse.

Man, those Bernie Kosar days...

Anybody else concerned with the possibility of Tavon Austin fielding punts in the rain today?

Yes. I am.

 

[Kevinicus]

Back-to-back roughing-the-passer penalties on the Saints what are you supposed to do run up and touch the quarterback and say got you. This is freaking ridiculous

Yep. You can't tackle the QB with a textbook form tackle now. You have to fall to the side after tapping their hip.

Luck having a good game.

Jax offense still abysmal

 

[texbumthelife]

Yes. I am.

I'd be shocked if he's not told to just fair catch all day.

I am worried about all his fumbles when it isn't raining.

It’s horrible.

I remember as a kid. Our coaches taught us to wrap
Up and drive through the ball carrier. Landing on them is part of form tackling.

It’s a horrible rule.

Watch out for the Browns this year. They won't win a lot of games but they will be a tough out for most teams. They have to be. You can't keep adding that much talent every year in the draft and suck forever. I wish we had their skill position players. I'd trade ours for theirs today and just petition for conjugal visits with Zeke.

They were in a lot of close games last year too. They just don't know how to win.

 

[texbumthelife]

Come on Jags. Put this team away.

 

[TruBluSince1982]

Pats making all sorts of mistakes today yet still 21-6. Lol G

When did you celebrate your 100th birthday?

Congrats!

If that’s the case, just let Beasley do it. For sure.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

This is true......but everyone made it like he could dominate even without blocking. which was ridiculous.....but that is what we call the hype train. I'm just a believer of showing us what you can do as opposed to being told.

 

[Kevinicus]

This Niners game needs to speed up or I will miss our opening kick-off

It's on pace for about 3:10-3:15 finish.

 

[texbumthelife]

If that’s the case, just let Beasley do it. For sure.

Bro, with this coaching staff, they might have Zeke do it. Who knows.

Yea, ESPN's so called experts ranking him higher then Zeke without playing a down in the NFL was a joke.

 

[WillieBeamen]

Giants will win this game. No Fournette and Bortles sucks

 

[lukin2006]

Maybe that’s what they should do, as soon as the QB is touched the play is over...there’d me a sack records set ...

 

[TruBluSince1982]

How does the Brown's D look? I seen the 3 picks and assumed pretty well. Other stats tell different story
