Week 3 NFL thread

Maybe it has something to do with all the penalties Abbott cited.

 

It may be challenging to read somebody's tone through words on a message board, yet somehow I don't think you mean that.

 

I figured Dallas to be a typical Dallas team this year - didn't think it would be enough to win the division, but now? Yeah. Always a lot of divisional games late though.

 

Sean Payton Reunion Tour goes to 3-0.

Last time that happened Saints won the Super Bowl. Scary part is N.O. hasn't come close to playing their best football.

 

Wow. I know they haven't been great...but still wasn't expecting the Steelers to be this bad tonight.

 

The idea in Pittsburgh is that Roethlisberger gives them a shot no matter how it looks around him. Tonight, he's the one killing the team with a fumble and an ugly overthrow on what should have been a long touchdown pass.

Also, William Gay is an idiot. Trying to get cute and punch the ball out rather than making the damn tackle on Forte's big run.

Pittsburgh will be lucky to win five or six games this year.

 

What's the word on Bell's injury? Their best bet seems to be that Bell comes back and revitalizes the offense by giving them a legit running game.

 

I love the Bears' coach willingness to go for it on 4th and inches. That's twice this year.

 

These guys are getting boat raced.

 

There was even some talk this week that he might play tonight, but I don't think it will matter. Roethlisberger looks terrible. The defense is shaky. They will be 0-3 after tonight.

The key with Bell is getting him in there to find out if he can be a piece for them to rebuild around.
