Game Thread: NFL week 2 game thread

[Clayton]

They were pretty clearly the better team against Baltimore, Idk about the two horseshoes thing. The horseshoe was Baltimore being in the game.

Now today... yeah, big horseshoe.

The Chiefs were lucky Baltimore didn't sneak out a win but I do agree that's different than the Bengals imploding

JFC… started twitching hearing Chris Collingsworth’s son on NBC. Scary how much he sounds like him.

His dad can pass the torch to him to insure another 30 years of annoying commentary……

 

[Duffman]

Drew Brees. That's it.

Tomlin is better IMO.

How exactly?

Because what exactly has Mike Tomlin done without Big Ben? And yes you can say the same thing about Sean Payton without Brees if you’re only looking at his time in Denver but look at the 2021 season New Orleans ad and tell me Tomlin wouldn’t kill for that kind of production from his Offense and QB’s.

And let’s not forget Tomlin still coaching the same team he had with Rothlisberger just with a worse offense, Payton took over a brand new team that has been awful since Super Bowl 50.

Sean Payton is an overrated coach IMO - he was only successful because of Drew Brees who was an all time great QB, and the Saints almost always choked in the playoffs under him.

I do like the onside kick in the SB but he isn't winning squat with his current offense in Denver.

Which isn’t surprising but honestly I don’t think he’s expected too at this stage. Denver‘s still recovering from that got awful Russ Wilson trade they got ass r*ped on and I truly think Payton has told the ownership team that it’s going to take a few years to dig themselves out of this hole they find themselves in. They haven’t had the draft capitol to turn things around overnight but a few years of drafting like he did in New Orleans can change that.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

Sean Payton is grossly over-rated but is also so unlikeable that it magnifies it .Not gonna bother getting into the Tomlin/ Payton debate. They are apples and oranges to me. Both guys benefitted from their HOF QBs for sure.

I figure I'll judge him next year. I don't think anyone had Denver making the playoffs this year

The Bear is winning all the Emmys. Does that mean the Bears will win the game?

Note: never heard of the show the Bear and no clue what streaming service has it.

Idk, when the QB's EPA is zero on the other side and your QB's is around a Ted Williams batting average, that's just not a game you should lose.

Creamsicle helmets

Oh yeah

Creamsicle helmets

Oh yeah

I miss those things with the wooden paddles? They were damn good IMO.

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

Steelers averaging 15.5pts per game.

Next games:
Vs LAC
@ IND
Vs DAL

Keep in mind, this is still considered the ‘easier’ stretch of their schedule (including weeks 1-2).

Saints playing lights out. I know most people hate him, but happy that Carr doing well. Good dude.

Man, that's some cold revenge right there

[Picklerick 2.0]

This Caleb Williams offense makes the west coast offensive look downright risky and explosive.

Without really any feelings yay or nay about Carr, it's his overall stats as a QB that makes me doubt he can continue this hot streak.

 

[Clayton]

Has there been a team in recent memory that's had a worse 2 week stretch than the Panthers? Their franchise qb looks abysmal
