Oh no joe burrows.

Masked Man · 14-09-2020 12:21am

Burrow is the truth.

jack presley · 14-09-2020 12:22am

The old "pretend I'm injured after I miss a chip shot FG' trick by the Bengals kicker. Not much sympathy from his teammates either.

Itssoeasy · 14-09-2020 12:26am

I switched to the bengals game from RedZone for the final two minutes of the game and Joe Burrow was throwing some darts with no time outs to use and that AJ green OPI was a killer and the bengals kicker got hurt but bengal fans should be very hopeful because what I saw in those two minutes was composure beyond his years.

Yeah he walked off a bit too easy for someone who pulled something.

DeAndre Hopkins 14 catches for 151 yards.

Thos LA Rams uniforms are hard to look at. I need to turn down the saturation setting on the TV.

Foxtrol · 14-09-2020 1:29am

After the first 5 minutes basically everything went wrong in the 49ers game, from mistakes at all 3 phases, questionable coaching, refs, and Jimmy looking terrible.

My concern with Cardinals drafting Murray was that we'd end up with another Wilson in the division and it is looking more and more like that being the case. The 49ers defense struggled last year with mobile QBs and it looks the same again, helped by refs who are overly protective of any kind of contact during his late slides/dives.

Not too surprising that the passing game somewhat struggled with being down to 3rd string center and down WR 1 & 2 and Kittle taking a bad knock before half time and then disappearing in the 2nd half (hopefully this doesn't end up a serious issue).

It's pretty impressive just how much of a mess they made them/

That the Chargers ended up wing the best looking team in LA after their uniform update says it all.

Those charger uniforms are superb. I’m just watching SNF and have the rams ever worn grey before ? It looks awful.

They're not grey, they're "bone". Ugh.

The new logo as well. God I hate what they've done so so much.

Bone ? No it’s grey and no amount of notions can change it. I liked the new logo kind of. The new stadium does look amazing though.

Oh aye. But it's the sort of notions that bring you uniform changes that just had to go back to a classic look.

New logo is a travesty of graphic design.

The fan versions of the logo, marketing material, and jersey are so much better.

To be fair it is all made much worse by what a good job the Chargers did and the inexplicable decision to make their look so similar. It is like the Rams got the second (or lower) place in the same competition as the Chargers

TheDoctor · 14-09-2020 11:25am

Well I think its far enough into the season now to start looking at the playoff picture.

Yeah, Jacksonville v Washington Super Bowl definitely looking likely.

Mike McCarthy would put years on you watching those highlights.

Take the f**king 3 points!

But they would have been 14 down when Garrett did it.

There were a few failures from coaches being 'aggressive' this weekend. This will be quickly forgotten the next time someone takes the points and their team doesn't win.

As a Broncos fan I'll be fine if the Cowboys do nowt.

They did it twice though.

It was annoying thing that Schmidt's Ireland did as well.

As a 49ers fan I'll also be very happy if they win nothing

It was a more general point though, maybe it is who I follow and listen to but things have swung so much that situations like this where a game is lost by not taking the points is ignored. It is aggressiveness above all else.

TheDoctor · 15-09-2020 1:18am

A night for the defences so far

KrustyUCC · 15-09-2020 1:38am

Giants 6 down at HT

Steelers get the ball again next

Goina be a long second half for the Giants the way this is going

Mysterypunter · 15-09-2020 5:41am

Tennessee could do with a new kicker, 3 missed field goals and a missed extra point

Realt Dearg Sec · 15-09-2020 5:42am

Gostkowski having the nightmare to end all nightmares tonight. Ten points he's left on the table so far tonight.

Realt Dearg Sec · 15-09-2020 6:21am

Really interesting clock management situation at the end of this game, both coaches having to negotiate whether to run the clock or save the seconds as Titans close in on a score to go ahead. Really think the Broncos should have called a timeout at around 1.00 minute but they didn't.

Realt Dearg Sec · 15-09-2020 6:24am

Gostkowski gets the kick to go ahead (big one after the night he had) and broncos have only 18 seconds. Fangio really did mess up not calling that timeout earlier. If an idiot like me could see it...

Realt Dearg Sec · 15-09-2020 6:28am

Broncos shat the bed, after gostkowski had so thoroughly shat the bed it seemed impossible for him to be outshat.

11-5 to start the season. Not bad considering I’d zero confidence in some of the picks.

Saw some of the giants vs Steelers game and when left it it was 10-9 to the giants.

A lovely mixed 8-8 to open up with. Jeez Gostkowski was woeful he has been on the decline for a bit now

Watched the highlights just there. I had no idea that it was possible for us to lose a game playin the way we did with a Kicker having a mare like Gost did. Wow.

That being said, a lot to like from Lock and the O generally. It should be a decent season for us.

But for the Lions and Eagles shítting the bed that would have been a tasty opening salvo.

Anyway, 10-6 heading into week 2.
