Early games thread

Indeed. I think that will be a helluva game. Everyone thinks Gbay will roll, but I doubt that happens unless Slade (Lions best CB who is out for our game on Mon. night) doesn't play. I expect Slade and Tate to sit out Mon. night but play and probably play well vs. the Pack. Detroit won't roll over for them. I must admit, it will be enjoyable watching the Lions field 2nd-4th stringers on Monday. I would do the same if I were them. Conversely, Red can play starter however long he wants but I wouldn't play key guys: T. Smith, Dak, Zeke, Dez, etc....past the first quarter if at all.

Let them play the first half then take them out.

Bills and Dolphins both over 260 yards rushing. First time that has happened since 1940, and maybe ever.

I think our game plan will be very vanilla.

You so racist.

Cards vs Panthers NFC Championship game a year ago, this year not so much.

Underthrew Nelson

No I actually liked zimmer and still think he is a good coach. That nonsense in those year was complete nonsense.

So is the stuff I heard about zimmer all offseason. Completely over the top creating a coach and mystique that was silly and over the top hence my silly over the top comment.

I will say I was disappointed when he left and did the deion sanders radio show. It was then that I realized he was the guy telling the local media insider things that were happening. I find that disappointing especially since parcells kept him around.

Fair enough. I guess.

Remember that when you're predicting 19-0 for the Cowboys next summer.

Year to year game any more.

Is Gurley simply playing behind a bad line/bad team, overrated or both?

 

[Elusive6thRing]

David Johnson w 18tds not bad

I think the 3 best rbs in the game now are Zeke, Bell, Johnson.

That's a good trio

No argument there. Wentz would have been solid, but they have so many holes I understood getting all those prime picks. Rams got fleeced pretty good.

Maybe they should think about signing Garappolo from N.England.

You get a franchise quarterback and combine that with coaching that know what it's doing and you see multiple Super Bowls. See the Patriots, Steelers, Seahawks, Giants, Broncos, Colts.
There's a reason why the Chiefs and Vikings, who consistency have one of the better defenses and running games in the league, don't push through to the Super Bowl.

 

[theebs]

The Seahawks need to keep winning. One loss and a Falcons win and Atlanta is the No. 2 seed and gets a bye.

this is my concern. I want atlanta to have to play in the wild card round. I really don't want any part of that offense. All along I assumed they win would then go and lose at Seattle.

That could get flipped today however.

both

Yeah you and planet Earth.

 

[Elusive6thRing]

Ajayi for the Dolphins is sreally good also, 3 200 yard games this year first time since Tiki Barber in 2005 someone's done that.

I did that two weeks ago. First.

It'll be a glorified pre season game I would think

 

[LocimusPrime]

Cardinals D looks decent so far

 

[willia451]

Never expected the dolphins to win 10 games. GJ Gase

We'll find out what they are really made of next week, at home, against NE.
