To be fair, he isn't a legit starter either.

Side note - The fact that Scott Tolzien has an NFL career astonishes me and does make me confused on how Kap doesn't have a job. Tolzien sucked even in college.

OK, Floyd summoned me in here to look at this post.

Speaking as someone who saw Tolzien play in person in college he most certainly didn't suck unless you're trying to compare him to NFL QBs. He won the Unitas Award for a reason. Should he ever be starting a game in the NFL? Of course not. But he was a very, very good college QB

 

[ZeoVGM]

What an awful first week of football.

 

[Bread]

I dont want to say it here but know this: if true in any way I am completely 100% done with the organization.

People here would blow it up and if it isnt true it still would never die

Lol wtf is this

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

No tear for Tuitt! Yay!

Lol wtf is this

Mech is starting his conspiracy talk early this season.

 

[Fantomex]

Pretty Accurate throw there by that fan.

Also someone linked video of Jet fans...and Holy Shit I guess I didn't know it gets this bad at games for home teams. One or two fans understandable..but...lol

I mean it was *only* halftime. D:

I don't know what the big deal is. Bread hears that from his parents everytime he comes home.

 

[squicken]

Not feeling great about the Vikebike tonight.

You mean that poopshow of a preseason didn't fill your heart with boundless optimism?

Mech is starting his conspiracy talk early this season.

Mech is calculating probabilities like:

 

[AbortedWalrusFetus]

After watching the Giants I'm pretty sure the Eagles will win that game. There's NO WAY that offensive line can handle the Eagles base pass rush, so they can just stick double coverage on Odell the whole time. Even if they drop the game to KC they'll have a 2-1 start which would be pretty nice.

 

[FTF]

What an awful first week of football.

I concur.

 

[TI82]

Is viewership down this season compared to last or is conservative media misleading people again? I keep seeing how it's because of the protesting during the anthem but it seems more likely because of the hurricanes.

 

[Hindl]

I really wonder if the deep ball accuracy is due to the fact that he barely had time with his new receivers and needs to work on the timing. Some were underthrown, some were overthrown. Is it just accuracy or also chemistry?

Someone with more knowledge can correct me, but while some of it is probably due to the new receivers, a lot of deep ball accuracy comes down to footwork and arm strength. I have to watch the game still but I'm going to bet for a lot of those deep throws he wasn't setting his feet properly. He seems more comfortable scrambling and playing backyard football anyway, which is alright for now. By the end of the year I hope he progresses more as a pocket QB though

 

[Sweeney Tom]

What's the rumor?

I'm not going to say this is what he's talking about, and no matter what I can't stress enough that any consequence coming because of it isn't confirmed

What is confirmed is Duane protested the anthem at least once by standing, raising his fist, and bowing his head

Likely Irma and CBS was only 1 game for some cities but Nielsen Center is in Florida and they are offline for awhile.

Or because the product is fucking terrible.

Pretty lackluster opening week so far; there was what, two exciting games? ATL vs CHI and PIT vs CLE.

What a time.

 

[Bronx-Man]

This weekend sucked but i'll always take a boring win over dallas finding another way to blow a close game in the 4th like always

 

[sf2fanatic]

I really like Lebaeu as a coordinator but he's way past his time. Time for another coordinator

 

[perfectchaos007]

I'm hoping the fact my Cowboys beat a team we went 0-2 against last year bodes well for this season. I'm not expecting 13-3 but 10-6 or 11-5 and possibly a first round bye would be nice. Just gotta keep Zeke and our d-line healthy.

 

[cdyhybrid]

College ball has been great. Y'all are free to start watching the superior version of the game at any time.

I remember on one of the short throws specifically the pocket was collapsed and really tight around him so he couldn't fully step into the throw. The ones that were long could have been timing/chemistry.

I don't think it's arm strength. On the TD to Agholor he threw it 40+ yards without even setting his feet while on the run.

Greatest period I've ever witnessed was the 3 years of 8-8

The defense looked much improved though, especially the secondary. The Raiders are little farther along right now, but the Titans look to be pretty good this season, and can be great next season.

I do think they leaned on Mariota a little too much this game though.

I liked watching the raiders win ��

Obviously speaking as someone who isn't a fan of either of the teams. I like watching my team win regardless, but you get my point.

[Bronx-Man]

Are defensive linemen getting vastly better across the league? Because I can think of maybe three teams tops across the league from this week that had decent O-Lines

I may be biased but the PHI-WAS game was pretty entertaining. Sloppy, but entertaining.

 

[Camwi]

Chiefs/Packers Super Bowl

The QB Mike McCarthy wanted versus the QB Mike McCarthy got stuck with

It would be story-worthy. A rematch of Super Bowl 1, 50 years later. The whole draft thing with Alex Smith and Aaron Rodgers.

Let's make it happen.

 

[Tall4Life]

Pats/Chiefs was a good game too, and this is coming from a Pats fan

Vikings/Saints should be interesting tonight too

 

[Doomsayer]

I think a lot of this has to do with no one playing in the preseason anymore. Chemistry isn't really there week 1. Hopefully the quality of play goes up next week.

...

 

[AbortedWalrusFetus]

I don't even think it was as sloppy as people made it out to be. It was sloppy for one quarter.

Superior where???

 

[mreddie]

It was only sloppy because of the turnovers for like the 3rd Q?

 

[Doomsayer]

With no allegiance to any specific program, how would I go about watching good games? It seems like everything I try to watch ends up being a blow out 1 1/2 quarters in.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Superior where???

No primetime NFC East games

No Jets or Hackenberg (anymore)

 

[Hindl]

I don't think it's arm strength. On the TD to Agholor he threw it 40+ yards without even setting his feet while on the run.

Eh arm strength doesn't necessarily mean you can throw the ball fall, but that you can throw the ball far fast. Weak-armed QBs can throw the ball 40+ yards, see Alex Smith on Thursday. But it'll float forever and can be inaccurate. Strong-armed QBs can throw the ball 40+ yards but it'll get there really quick and the ball will have a tight spiral. The Wentz to Agholor throw was pretty fast, but also pretty wobbly. He was on the run and couldn't set his feet but something to pay attention too

Are defensive linemen getting vastly better across the league? Because I can think of maybe three teams tops across the league from this week that had decent O-Lines

DL are getting better but OL are also getting vastly worse. OL aren't coming into the league ready for pro-style blocking anymore

 

[BigAT]

Lol wtf is this

I just looked up what it was and...WOW. There are rumors and then there are rumors. This would be the bombshell to end all bombshells.

This would be the end of the Texans as a franchise. I don't even feel comfortable thinking about it.

 

[yankeehater]

So the Texans only have around $4m in cap space for this year. What a disaster, at some point they have to sign Brown but they will need to restructure contracts to do so. Sucks for them that $10m of their cap for this year is going to Brock. That has to be the 2nd worst contract ever behind Flacco's.

 

[Tom Penny]

I believe Eli had never won a playoff game were the defense have up more then 20 points. I also believe he hasnt led the Giants to twenty points in like 7 straight games.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Worst team in the league, Colts or Jets

 

[AbortedWalrusFetus]

It was only sloppy because of the turnovers for like the 3rd Q?

Two of the turnovers for the Racists were forced. Wentz was intercepted on a tipped ball.

There were really only two sloppy turnovers, the muffed punt, and Wentz terrible lateral.

Not in Knoxville that's for sure 🐸☕

With no allegiance to any specific program, how would I go about watching good games? It seems like everything I try to watch ends up being a blow out 1 1/2 quarters in.

Just watch the big prime time games on the major networks. Games between ranked teams usually. Not a guarantee it won't be a blowout, but that's true in the NFL too.

 

[captive]

let me guess. they wont even negotiate with him about his contract because he raised his fist in support of BLM?

 

[Sanjuro]

I wonder if all the people hating the Matt Stafford deal watched week one? 🤔

Lots of pundits have been saying Oline play has gotten worse.

 

[Rvaan]

Colts. Jets purposely stripped the roster. Colts think this team is fine if Luck plays

 

[Nameless]

Thank sweet baby Jesus Foster's injury doesn't look too serious. That really bummed me out yesterday on top of the ass kicking we took.

As a 9er fan and after 3 straight years of 1st round selections of Dlinemen..... I'll say no.

Hopefully we improve...feel kind of left out.

Colts. Jets raced to the bottom. Colts thought they were on top.

2-0 baby

Also cfb has such a mediocre product in comparison to the NFL that it made people paid to be scouts believe that Christian Hackenberg was a talent
