The Friday 8/19 Football Thread

[clyde_carbon]

All random observations go in here.

Matthew Stafford looks terrific again.

 

[WestEndVol]

Falcons draw first blood. 3-0 ATL over the Jags.

 

[clyde_carbon]

Carolina's offense looks putrid. Cam Newton is struggling today.

 

[threelittleturds]

Kolb still looks blah to me. Fitzgerald might have just made an amazing one handed catch. Watch the highlight.. it's incredible. It wasn't like a bucket one handed catch, he kinda pinned it between his forearm and his helmet. While diving in the middle of the field.

 

[threelittleturds]

Colt McCoy doesn't look too bad either.

 

[clyde_carbon]

Ray Edwards is so overrated. FA bust for the Falcons.

 

[clyde_carbon]

Daniel Thomas in on goal-line situations for Miami. He just scored a 4-yard TD. He was a favorite of Dodub in this draft, I believe.

 

[clyde_carbon]

Gabbert looks sloppy in his dropbacks.

 

[threelittleturds]

The Colts look like crap without Manning. Not sure why they aren't spending time trying to develop QBs in Peyton's later years.

Arentcha glad we didn't draft Gabby? despite the reports that said we were interested

 

[EaseUrStorm]

I'm so so so happy we didn't draft Gabbert. I just tuned in but he looks timid. Was not a fan of him in the draft at all.

 

[WestEndVol]

What are some scores?

 

[EaseUrStorm]

The Raiders commercial that just popped on is absolutely pathetic. I think it was done by a JCC flunkout.

 

[EaseUrStorm]

Julio Jones sighting

 

[NinerSickness]

Oops, I thought this was for yesterday's games. I deleted the thread I made...

Ricky Stanzi in for KC.

 

[I_am_1z]

All Jimmy Clausen can do it seems is checkdown. Took Carolina until the 3rd Qrt to get into Dolphins territory. How can any offense be this bad

 

[NinerSickness]

Stanzi looks pretty accurate.

...aaaaaand right when I said that he threw it behind the TE.

 

[NinerSickness]

Switched to ATL JAX...

NICE long pass by Gabby. 2nd string OL looks pretty good.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Ryan Williams was carted off the field in the 3rd quarter with a right knee injury. A player landed on the back of his leg. He looked pretty shaken up as they took him off.

 

[NinerSickness]

Gabbert checked down to the RB on 3rd down around the 20 yard line. I don't like that at all. The extra yardage doens't make any difference. You gotta move around & buy some time.
