2020 NFL season - Week 7 thread

Xavi6

He missed! Wow.

I just have this feeling that Metcalf is going to make the catch that wins it for Seattle.
He's done very little in offense all game, that defensive play is the play if the week.

No sacks in the game all night and the Cardinals get two on that drive, couple of huge plays to stuff Wilson.

Where were those plays when VJ was our head coach?

Great shout...but it's called back :eek: :pac:

Russ picked, this game.

It's an absolutely crazy game. A tie is the fair result I think.

I didn't see this happening when the Seahawks went ten points up, it's been brilliant.

They were 13 up at one stage, 20-7.

What was Murray at there?

Xavi6

That was great sports.

BonnieSituation

Everyone should watch that game.

What an advert for the NFL.

What is with Seattle and classics? Their D would put years on you. I'm so glad I'm a broncos fan sometimes, when you watch that!

I also want to see Kyler Murray throw to Philip Lindsay or Boston Scott someday.

Which?

Yeah, great viewing. I'm still wondering what was in Kyler's head throwing that ball to the end zone with them in field goal range and risking a pick.

Ah. Is there a chance that he thought that Seattle get another possession after the FG?

Or more likely, didn't trust Gonzalez from that distance?

In fairness to Cam he has not much to throw to - Edelman is clearly not 100% and with Harry out there is not much in the way of quality at WR/TE.

True, but his accuracy and decision making has been shocking as well. It's not solely a poor supporting cast which is the cause of his bad play. He looks lost and slow (both physically and mentally) at times.

Foles isn't perfect but his turnovers are limited, he's excellent at reading a defense and fairly accurate. I guess this is why I'm not an NFL GM. :pac:

Watching game in 40 at the minute and that Metcalf play to stop the pick 6 should be shown to every offense during film review this week.

He never quit and he saved his team 7 points in the end. Love that guy.

I had the SNF result spoiled this morning but that game was still amazing to watch.

OBJ has a torn ACL so that’s his season done. A shame as the browns and OBJ seemed to be clicking like they had hoped when he was signed.

eagle eye

Yeah, just starting to look great again. The amount of injuries this season is crazy.
All those ota's and training camp seem way more important, from a fitness perspective, than I thought. I always knew the bigger guys needed them but not the lighter faster guys.

I've had so many SNF/MNF games spoiled this season mostly through my own fault and thankfully I've avoided the result of Cards/Seahawks and just watched the full replay now, game of the season so far so entertaining

I thought I had cut out all possible ways for a game to be spoiled, but I was undone by a recent reinstall of the Athletic app. It reactivated push notifications for articles and of course when I woke up at 6 this morning and check the lock screen on my phone there's an article right there telling me what happens. :rolleyes:

That Dk metcalf run down was unreal live and is unreal when I’ve seen clips of it today. The guy he tackled not only had a running start on him but they showed where DK metcalf was and he was near the goal line and he starts running and then hits the afterburners and it’s over.

The Score App in Canada was always slightly ahead of my NHL app on the TV so for so long I'd feel that vibrate just as a defenseman was racing across the blue line and inevitably scoring. I've turned off all notifications for all apps since. That being said, my current Covid influenced timetable has allowed me to watch a load live games, so I'm managing

We have a "no talk about the SNF or Monday night games" until the following day at 2pm in our NFL WhatsApp group, to enable anyone to watch and catch up.

Tonight seems like it'll be an entertaining one anyway. So probably worth the late night.

NBC showed a graphic of the run down with the speed of DK and the yardage. He very briefly tops 22mph. Mostly at 20/21 for the run.

22mph... For 90 yards... As a human. Insane.

I'm expecting it to be similar to recent Bears/Rams meetings so it should be a classic 10-6 or 13-9 game :pac:

I have a similar issue watching hurling matches in the states because it's usually about 30 seconds behind home, but you'd be chatting on whatsapp to people about the match and they'd keep posting reactions to things before you see it. So I had to knock that on the head altogether.

Tonight's game will be good but only if you like defensive football (which I do, very much). I think the Rams will win because Aaron Donald will be going up against some very dodgy backup olinemen, while our D line, which is amazing, will be playing one of the most improved O lines in the league. I think they can rattle Goff alright, but not to the extent they would need to. Our run game is awful the last few weeks as well, while I expect the Rams to get some return on running the ball (not much mind you, but enough to keep us honest)

I hope I'm wrong but I think with the added pressure and reduced time for Foles, he'll make more mistakes than Goff, and we'll lose in a relatively low scoring encounter.

Bears win tonight and they are the no 1 seed in the nfc. Hard to believe after the lions game

Like RDS I have a hankering of tough fought Defensive ball. And it's a Bears game, so bloody well anything could happen.

"Sean mcvey says it's eerily quiet in the new stadium". Business as usual for the Rams so.

Does Nagy know he doesn't have to run it on first every time?
