Week 3 NFL thread

You're a Pittsburgh fanboi so I figured you'd have an opinion on this. It is a big game for the Steelers.

 

That's a touchdown. Once again, the Steelers' defense has moments where it looks good, but comes up VERY small when needed.

 

Jay Cutler: Winner

 

So I was watching the Brewers-Cardinals on ESPN -- along with switching back-and-forth to the Bears-Steelers -- and on the crawl at the bottom of the screen they show the Packers-Bengals score and then note that it was Dalton's eighth game-winning, fourth-quarter drive.

What the fuck? He gets credit for a game-winning drive on a defensive touchdown? Really? Someone please tell me that's a mistake.

 

Everything a football team does is attributed to the quarterback.

 

Five turnovers doom the Steelers. Oh, well, look at the bright side: you get to play the Vikings next week, a game so pathetic it has been exiled across the Atlantic.

 

As a pathetic Packer fanboi, I hate the Bears.

Yet I also love the CFL and think the Trestman hire was sneaky smart. I don't even hate the Bears because I've always liked Trestman.

 

Yeah, Bears could turn out to be pretty good. Schedule is manageable and suddenly the Packers don't look invisible.

OK, so Bears, Saints, Seahawks, Patriots, Chiefs and Dolphins are 3-0. While the Giants, Redskins, Vikings, Buccaneers, Jaguars and Steelers are all 0-3. Of the unbeaten, I say the Bears go the longest before losing (Bears and Saints play head-to-head in week 5). Of the winless, I say the Jaguars go the longest before winning.

 

When did the Packers look invisible?

 

Pretty sure if you threw a punch during a chess match they'd kick you out of the tournament. They might even have you arrested. [/Ihatemixedmetaphors]

 

Alex Smith > Kaepernick?




Just asking the question.
