Board 8 > NFL Week 5 Discussion Topic

(+) Yeah! (+)

time for people to spend the next week saying the Giants are the worst 4-1 team in NFL history

when in reality the NFC East is BACK

Except for the Commies

(Don't blow this game to them, Titans)

Also I had the Giants going into their bye at 1-7 or 2-6 so um..

Well, ok.

They could reasonably get to 9 wins this season.

I'm starting to think watching the Packers isn't worth it. Not if they're going to play like this. Rodgers looked terrible that entire second-half. Douglas was handing out penalties like candy. The playcalling was uninspired and wasn't tailored to how (abysmally) we were playing, particularly the frequent long passes.

Rodgers is an old man now and I don't know if Lafleur is the right guy anymore. Being just adequate isn't enough. And that's all we are. Welcome to another year of losing our first playoff game... *sigh*

WFT have an actual name

The bucs if healthy would have won their game 35-14 vs the packers lol

Anyways I think Baltimore is going to be a 2-3 point favorite at the Giants next week, but I'm really curious as to what the line will look at when they go to Jacksonville. Both teams have totally overachieved their expectations already.

Straight up feels like a PK to me.

Yeah, the Commanders, or Commies for short. Why Snyder went with that name, we'll probably never know.

I doubt that tbh.

I get the logic behind it, but with the giants calling the defensive timeout out and then not even trying to run for the first down, I kinda wanted them to lose at the end there.

The defensive timeout was 100% the right call. Time doesn't matter to GB's offense in that situation, but it does for yours.

Not burning 3-5 seconds per play and just kneeling was bad though.

Extreme exaggeration by Chris there. It would have been more like 34-14.

Packers' offensive playcalling has been crap. They refused to run on a Giants team that can't stop it. Meanwhile, the defense made Daniel Jones look like an All-Pro QB.

They never should have changed their original name in the first place, because a lot of polls among Native Americans (the only people whose opinion on the subject should ever be considered) saw it as a badge of honor.

And a lot of them didn't. Those opinions matter, too.

Literally nobody cares when a team changes its name within five years. You probably can't even remember the old team names for most teams that change.

Blame rodgers. He's the one who was all "Yeah I want to air it out and I'm gonna tell the coach that"

Yet another week where I really wanted to pick the Jets and just couldn't pull the trigger on it. My 1 in confidence is on this game.

Bills muffed the opening kick return, then threw a 98-yd TD pass on 3rd and 10, and now Pittsburgh just did the same except to give the Bills the ball at their 20.

Jets lead 2-0.

And Teddy is already out.

Pittsburgh gets an easy blocked FG on an awful kick and now have their first offensive possession of the game. Wild start.

ya go my Titans

Miami has face masked the Jets into FG range.

Every QB I touch in fantasy this year is cursed. Dak, Lance, and now Bridgewater have all suffered injuries. Herbert too though he didn't miss a game. I apologize to Kenny Pickett who is on my bench in one league as it seems you'll be next. =/

I would love a Sporcle old team name quiz. I bet I remember most.

I remember doing this one with old logos and commented:

There's also this one I found just searching:

Feel free to add me on there btw

oh no my Titans

We got the random game when Wentz makes a big play

Am I again about to regret being too much of a coward to pick the Jets

Gg

The Lions converted on 3rd and 1 on the Pats 35, only to go so far backwards after the conversion that they punted.

And the Vikings are wrecking the Bears so hard to start the game it's actually pretty impressive.

Cousins is 17/17 completion so far.

If only you could have predicted that Bridgewater would immediately get injured

4th at 36 at own 19

Seems like a good drive by the Titans.

What the hell just happened in Seahawks/Saints

Lions imploding

Chargers scoring drive:

12 plays, 99 yards, 6:00, TD. Zero third downs on the drive.

This offense is scary when it actually clicks.

No need for offense from the Pats when you've got that defense

why the hell was that not a FG attempt for the lions? it was 4th and 9 at the 32! that's a 10 point swing from what it should be now.

Commentators said they have a new kicker this week

Terrible decision leads to a deserved result yes

The Browns defense is also hilariously bad when Garrett and Clowney aren't being disruptive.

oh my lionz

Lionz fired their kicker last week so we've opted to never kick FGs again

Notice how when most people pick the Lions one part of their team just doesn't show up?

Not a bad game from Allen in the first half.

Catastrophic end to the half for the Saints.

Penalty out of FG range, then a lost fumble, and Seattle offense scores a TD in 13 seconds from midfield.

And an almost as catastrophic end to the half for the Jets

The Bucs are up 13-0 and it feels like it could be 130-0 and be as winnable.

Titans with the touchdown to take the lead right before halftime

Also Pittsburgh might be a bottom 3 team in the entire league how is it this bad

My gut was telling me not to trust the Lions in Foxboro but I didn't listen

Oh well

Lost their HoF QB and their best defensive player.

Easy mix

I dont mind getting that wrong

always want to believe in the lions when I can lol

Losing what Ben was the last two years wasn't that big of a loss, he was a pretty bad QB

They have no weapons on offense now without Juju and nobody is ready to accept that Najee isn't good yet

No one could've anticipated the Steelers being *this* bad though.

Browns turned it over on downs at their own 30

What

No, they're so much worse than I thought.

We were both on the "I want to pick the Steelers to beat the Bengals but I just can't do it" train week 1.

Good lord it's such a fall.

Also it's now 21-19 Vikings what happened to 17/17 Kirk Cousins
