Week 3 NFL thread: Steamer Horning played in Toledo, not Cleveland

And with each win Jets fans will get more and more apoplectic.

I cannot wait.

 

Matt Prater just tried a 68-yard field goal for the Cardinals at the end of the first half. It was short, and Jacksonville returned it for a 109-yard touchdown.

Is it just me, or was the field goal return not a thing until about 10 or 15 years ago. Growing up all through the 80s and 90s I can't ever recall a team ever putting a guy back there on long field goals, then I think Devin Hester returned one for a touchdown, and it suddenly became a potent counterweapon in that situation. Even one you have to take into account when deciding whether to try one.

 

That thing looked an awful lot like the Bama-Auburn kick six - not just the result, but the path to endzone as well.

 

It’s become more of a thing when kickers started improving their range and teams started trying longer field goals.

In the 80s/90s, teams almost never tried a kick longer than 53-54 yards and only did that out of desperation. Now teams try 60 yarders more frequently and sometimes overestimate their kicker’s range.

 

Today's moment of Gus.

 

McAfee needs to react like this when the WWE does some nonsensical storyline.

 

Good things happen to guys who leave the Lions if you’re Agnew
Of course Prater was his teammate last season

 

Ben will be playing up his injuries the rest of this game.

 

Cardinals were spotting the Jags 8 points. That’s basically the eight points. Might not cover but they’re still gonna win despite handing them a free TD.

 

Sports, man, always something with sports.

Ho hum, let's try this little 68-yard field goal.

Ho hum, let's catch the ball in the back of the end zone when it's short and trolley up the field for a touchdown.
