Week 2 NFL thread

I was kind of, 'meh,' when I saw we had the Chargers-Eagles for the early CBS game, but this has been a great football game. Now tied 30-30 with 1:45 left in regulation, and they've combined for more than 900 yards of offense.

 

Cutler is a big time QB.

 

I think Redzone costs me $7 or $9 a month, and it is worth every penny.

 

Texans offense has been putrid today.
Getting outplayed and outcoached by inferior opponents.

 

Real good win for the Chargers going cross-country on a short week for an early Sunday game.

 

I hate it when the announcers don't know the rules.

KC, with a one-point lead and about 30 seconds left, punts the ball away. The ball lands inside the Dallas 5 and a KC player touches it, trying to down it. The ball squirts away from him, and in a crowd of red shirts, Dallas return man Dwayne Harris grabs it and tries to run, then gets swamped at the 1.

Announcer says something like, "I don't know what a Cowboys player was thinking being anywhere near that ball."

What he was thinking was, once the kicking team has touched the ball, even if the receving team fumbles it the away, the receiving team keeps possession at the point where the kicking team first touched it.

 

Saints-Bucs game suspended for lightning with Saints leading 3-0. Looks like a half-hour delay, at least.

 

57 offensive plays for the Chip Kelly fast break.

 

E.J. Manuel and the Bills rally to win.

 

Bills beat the Panthers with a last-second TD when EJ Manuel leads a drive with no time outs left, finds Stevie Johnson wide open in the end zone. Pass interference call on Luke Kuechly kept the drive alive.

 

Manuel-Spiller-Johnson just might be the right combination.

Now, if the Bills can get a robust line and a few helpers on offense, things become interesting in Orchard Park.

 

If Bullock misses this one he might be cut before he gets to the locker room.
