Watson ain't afraid to sling it. Hopkins does it again.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

How can he throw a pick 6 in the game and have a higher QBR than Rodgers, who threw no picks at all?

QBR is fucking dumb

Wow what a catch! Although Alex is # 1 in my heart, I do love Watson and he was the only QB I would've liked the niners to draft at #2 in this draft. Check my post history!!!

 

[Quikies83]

Please.. just take knees and lets get out of here.

 

[Officerrob]

That's an ACL

 

[Rvaan]

NRG's field is trash.

 

[lobdale]

That's an ACL

Looked like hammy to me but it's been a wild day, who the hell knows.

Oh jesus just saw the replay never mind... brutal calf injury, what is that a torn tendon?

 

[Corran Horn]

Ouch

 

[Clockwork5]

The correct answer to why does quarterback A have a higher QBR than quarterback B is... Nobody knows.

 

[captive]

NRG's field is trash.

They changed it, it's new age astro turf or some shit.

 

[Quikies83]

That's an ACL

Grabbed his hamstring

edit: oh holy shit.. that replay.. oh god...

 

[rootbeerafloat]

Fuck, come on. I hope that's not serious. Almost got out of there clean.

 

[coolasj19]

NRG's field is trash.

For gods sake it's just AstroTurf now. It used to be ridiculous grass pallets that had potholes everywhere. So I don't know man. Just end the game for everyone's sake.

 

[TheCochese]

I like Conley. He was a real nerd at UGA.

 

[Generate]

Watson looks legit. Fearless.

 

[AbortedWalrusFetus]

Looks like he tore his achilles

 

[illmatic22]

Damn that sucks

 

[Quikies83]

Looks like he tore his achilles

Yup.. I wonder why neither of the commentators said that during the slow mo replay...

 

[Clockwork5]

Ouch.

 

[tebunker]

Conley is a good player. That injury is gonna hurt a lot.

People going down left and right this game. what a mess.

 

[TheCochese]

Yup.. I wonder why neither of the commentators said that during the slow mo replay...

Because they are fucking idiots.

Michael's is known for being non-committal on shit.

 

[rootbeerafloat]

Can't even enjoy this one now.

 

[Quikies83]

Because they are fucking idiots.

Michael's is known for being non-committal on shit.

They really were acting clueless..
"not sure what that could be"

 

[TheCochese]

They really were acting clueless..
"not sure what that could be"

I was watching the Derrick Fisher .4 sec shot the other day and he was on that call. He has always been bad.

 

[duxstar]

Comparing watson to rg3..... are they trying to say "yo he secretly sucks"

 

[Elfforkusu]

The correct answer to why does quarterback A have a higher QBR than quarterback B is... Nobody knows.

It's a (weirdly overcomplicated) measure of offensive success. With running plays that don't involve the QB factored out, because it would conflict with the name.

It's not a viable measure of individual QB performance, it's a team stat.

Of course, that is not how ESPN uses it.

 

[Quikies83]

Bright-spot: Buttkicker is gonna be okay.

 

[yrba1]

Everytime I see the chiefs I can’t shake the feeling they will end the season 15-1 or 14-2 and completely fall apart in the first playoff game, a lot like the 2012 Packers.

It's Andy Reid, he's good early in the season but has a track record of losing in the playoffs. Could be wrong about this year though; he has a plethora of playmakers

 

[Doominated]

Seems about right.

The Chiefs under Reid are generally extremely competent in all phases from week to week, which lets them stack up wins in a league with a lot of uneven, sloppy play. But that isn't quite enough in the postseason.

I don't think they're a clear step above the entire league, but I do think that the difference this year is their offense is finally converting on third downs and in the red zone. I don't think that success is all smoke and mirrors, but I wonder how long it will last.

I’d say this Chiefs team is definitely different than most Reid teams. It’s more explosive. They have those big play moments where they’re going to be able to win some games despite playing worse than the other team because they got 2-3 crazy plays. Last year’s Chiefs team definitely didn’t have that kind of ability. Unlike most “explosive” style teams though, they’ll win traditional games just as often too. They could see Hill and Hunt get totally blanked for a game and still be in the game.

I agree with them not being an obvious step above though, the season’s too early to know who’s going to catch fire and look great later on when it really matters. The Falcons were 4-3 and 7-5 at different points last year. Green Bay was 4-6. Those wound up being the teams in the nfc championship game. It’s too hard to tell right now.

RG3's career probably follows a different trajectory if Shanahan and co. hadn't made him die on the field.

 

[TheCochese]

Oh look, we're secretly talking about gambling wink wink.

 

[chuckddd]

I hope the glass gene skipped the youngest Watt brother. I also hope that he can play quarterback.

 

[Officerrob]

Good Thursday night game

 

[Pepiope]

Good Thursday night game

It's gonna be terrible. We're gonna lose.

 

[Generate]

Watson is going to be dangerous.

 

[Quikies83]

Chris Jones yapping at the ref while the play is still going.

 

[squicken]

Good Thursday night game

Gonna have to make up for terrible SNF and MNF

 

[Officerrob]

Blatant holding by the Texans OL there

 

[coolasj19]

Watson is still trying to win this game. I love him. I love him so much. This is what I've always wanted. He will never ever give up.

 

[unknownstranger]

Lmao at the dude who gave up on the play to yell at the ref.

 

[duxstar]

Do i get a 3rd dhop td ?

 

[Pepiope]

Why are they trying to score here lol

 

[Rvaan]

Watson has no fear.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

RG3's career probably follows a different trajectory if Shanahan and co. hadn't made him die on the field.

Or if he learned to slide

 

[Elfforkusu]

Huge fantasy implications here

Or if he learned to slide

True. Plenty of blame to go around!

 

[Vyer]

Heh

 

[Generate]

Congrats Houston. You found your qb.

 

[shwimpy]

what's the betting line for this game?

 

[Quikies83]

Enjoy your garbage points.. glad no one else got hurt.

 

[Officerrob]

Stat padding at it's finest

 

[Basileus777]

Shameful stat padding.
