2021 NFL season - Week 5 thread

Only got to see one replay but it looked like Lance crossed the line a few minutes ago. It was called short and that decision was upheld.

Matt Nagy being forced to use a timeout between scoring a TD and kicking the extra point is so on-brand for his teams.

Because it's year 4 and this simple thing is still an issue most weeks. We constantly waste time outs on stupid stuff like late playcalls or the entire unit being late onto the field.

It just cost us big time when we got the ball back on our own 40 with 50 seconds left. If we had a timeout we could potentially have put another 3 on the board.

Ugly game in Vegas but delighted to win especially with our upcoming schedule. Wasn't expecting it.

It was the same for the eagles in Carolina earlier today. Neither the eagles or bears will win high style points but a win is a win in this league.

And 89 yards rushing so ended up with 291 yards of offense from Lance with 1 turn over. Definitely needs improvement but this team was not looking like it was getting play offs with Jimmy G and I am not sure Jimmy G gets 290 yards going vs a tough AZ front. Let the kid learn at game speed.

I feel like most of the kickers in the league got together for a massive bender last night and were hung over today. So many missed extra points and field goals.

You can't let him learn as a starter, he'll lose his confidence quickly and start second guessing his decisions. This is why you sit a rookie for a year if you have the opportunity.

QB's who've sat for a year include Mahomes, Brady, Rodgers, for three years, and Phillip Rivers. Eli Manning started late in his first season. All those guys have had very successful careers.

Great start for the Bills, hold the Chiefs to a field goal on the opening drive of the game and then go down and Josh Allen rushes for a TD to take a 7-3 lead.

Bills had 52 rushing yards on that drive, the Chiefs have been awful against the run all season to this point.

The Bills are excellent on both side of the ball but FMD, how does Sorensen keep getting snaps over Thornhill? On both plays that he was beaten badly uyou can see Mathieu throwing his hands up in the air in the background. Misses too many tackles as well.

Great day of football overall, loved all the kicking dramas earlier.

And this one is done, a pick 6 off Hill's hands. And CEH is injured. The Chiefs look so average on both sides of the ball this season and it's the Chargers' division now.

Josh Allen has been brilliant, great to watch.

Bills have been very impressive so far this season, sadly.

Justin Herbert, Josh Allen, Ryan, Stafford, Big Ben, Peyton, Cam Newton, Wilson all started pretty early in their first season or from game 1. You can do it both ways and you absolutely can have someone learn as a starter. Either way starting will be a new game from practice. The game has also changed and QBs are coming out more and more ready for the pros. The only one in the last 15 years on your list is Mahomes (though you could happily add Lamar).
