Did she just say Aaron Rodgers served up some Revenge to the jets? Revenge for what exactly? If anyone deserves Revenge it's the Jets on him.

njm1314@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 336d

Damn im getting old. Like a third of these qbs I didn't realize we're on new teams till today.

Buccs @ Falcons 1:00pm ET

Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social · 3 pts · 336d

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about! Bijan gashing the Bucs defense for the score!

Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social · 3 pts · 336d (1 reply)

Koo, I've been one of your biggest fans through the years, but I'm sorry, it's time for a change at kicker. You hit the upright on one earlier, and then cost us the tie with the wide right.

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 336d

Yeah can't miss a 44 yarder.

Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social · 3 pts · 336d (3 replies)

I'm a big enough man to admit when I'm wrong. I was not happy about the draft pick when we chose Bijan, but dang if he hasn't turned out to be GREAT!

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 336d (2 replies)

Who were you hoping for?

Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social · 3 pts · 336d (1 reply)

I can't remember exactly, but there was big defensive guy from Georgia that I wanted us to get. I felt like we needed defense.

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 336d

You guys picked 2 1st round edge rushers? that's not enough? Oh wait... lol looking at wrong draft.

Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social · 3 pts · 336d (2 replies)

Now I'm officially nervous about this game. We needed 7 there to answer, but walked away with 3.

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 336d (1 reply)

Buccs can play like a very good team some days. Other days they fall far short of their talent.

Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social · 2 pts · 336d

And today, they're alternating between being one and then the other!

Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social · 3 pts · 336d (2 replies)

The defense stopped the constant pressure on Baker and the Bucs immediately scored.

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 336d (1 reply)

Prevent defense never works.

Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social · 3 pts · 336d

What's the old saying? "It prevents you from winning."

Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social · 3 pts · 336d

Held them to a field goal. I'm liking this stiff new defense. Now let's get the offense to settle down and put some more points on the board.

Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social · 3 pts · 336d (2 replies)

And the first look at the new defense looks gooooooood.

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 336d (1 reply)

Yeah D looks pretty solid so far.

Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social · 2 pts · 336d

Bucs are finally moving, but they're definitely having to earn every yard.

Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social · 2 pts · 336d

Man, the momentum of this game has really changed...

Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social · 2 pts · 336d

THAT'S MY QB! GO PENIX!!

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 336d

Oh boy... you had 1st and goal with less than a yard.... and no catch! OMGGGGGGGG

Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social · 2 pts · 336d

HEY HEY! Glad to see this. Now let's get some people in here talking.

Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social · 2 pts · 336d

Penix is absolutely looking like the guy, and I couldn't be more excited.

Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social · 2 pts · 336d

This is where I wish we could have gotten some points off of either of those last two drives.

Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social · 2 pts · 336d

🤬

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 336d (1 reply)

Falcons receivers can't seem to catch balls that are right in their bread basket.

Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social · 2 pts · 336d

Y'know, I'm wondering if maybe these guys should have played a little in preseason?

Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social · 2 pts · 336d

I hope we can get 7 here, but I'm worried about the clock. I've seen us go up and leave too much time on the clock before. Give the Bucs time to get down the field and win in the last second.

Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social · 2 pts · 336d

Yeah, Penix reminds Vilma of that famous left-handed Falcons quarterback.... Matt Ryan. 🙄

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 336d (2 replies)

good GAWD my stream craps out in the last minute of the game.

Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social · 2 pts · 336d (1 reply)

Saved you from seeing the ending. 😩

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 336d

lol Man I was disappointed to find out from espn website the miss.

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 336d

Wow. This game has been nuts. Buccs score TD to take lead but miss PAT now its still a 3 point game with 59 seconds to go. Penix time.

Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social · 2 pts · 336d

At least we got points off of that drive and tied it up. I would have preferred 7, but I'll take 3.

Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social · 2 pts · 336d

Well, we got into the half with a tie. I'd prefer more points, but we ain't losing, so.....

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 336d (11 replies)

Ravens @ Bills 8:20pm ET

socsa@piefed.social · 4 pts · 336d

It was really weird how they kept showing football in the middle of Chris Collinsworth's Josh Allen romance novel.

YellaLeber@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 336d (2 replies)

How the fuck

batmaniam@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 335d

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 335d

Ohhhh fuck noooooooooooo I went to bed when they were down 40 to something. I said it was over LMAO. Goddamn it!!!

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 336d

Sunday night football!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2 heavy weights!!!! Let's go!!!

njm1314@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 336d

Starting the bills defense and fantasy football was a mistake.

Pogogunner@sopuli.xyz · 3 pts · 336d

This is the best Ravens offense I've ever seen. If Ray Lewis (in his prime) was still playing defense with this offense, they would never lose a game.

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 336d

Ravens are just built way more physical than Bills. It's a tough match up.

Pogogunner@sopuli.xyz · 3 pts · 336d

I am so sad. We should have went for it on 4th & 3.

its_prolly_fine@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 336d

The bills are a second hald team. But damn that last quarter

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 336d

It's jover.

Dolphins @ Colts 1:00pm ET

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 336d (3 replies)

WTF Dolphins are getting blown out!

Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social · 2 pts · 336d (2 replies)

Yeah, and this was a "must win" for them. 🤷🏻‍♂️

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 336d (1 reply)

Why was this a must win? lol

Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social · 3 pts · 336d

The Dan LeBatard Show out of Miami was joking Thursday that this was a "must win" for the Dolphins.

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 336d (11 replies)

Steelers @ Jets 1:00pm ET

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 336d

Never thought Jets Steelers would be a good game. but here we are.

Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social · 3 pts · 336d

Anytime Rodgers gets sacked, I think he's not going to get up.

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 336d (2 replies)

Holy cow! Jets are shredding Steelers' defense! I never expected this. Now I wonder if Steelers regret not keeping Fields.

Statick@programming.dev · 3 pts · 336d (1 reply)

They didn't "not keep him", he wanted to go to the Jets.

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 336d

Steelers didn't try to hard to convince him to stay either.

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 336d

Wow Fields looks good too. The two teams trade QBs and looks good.

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 336d

But Steelers make a freakin long field goal!!! Ball don't lie!

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 336d

WOW. Jets receiver dropped the 1st down making catch and Jets lose....

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 336d

Holycrap. Rodgers looks good!

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 336d

Oh WOW clear pass interference on 3rd and long against Jets and didn't call.

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 336d

Rodgers look just fine with Steelers...

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 337d (1 reply)

Giants @ Commanders 1:00pm ET

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 336d

Why didn't Giants draft a QB. Oh wait.

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 336d

Panthers @ Jaguars 1:00pm ET

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 336d

Texans @ Rams 4:25pm ET

Raiders @ Pats 1:00pm ET

MelonYellow@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 336d (2 replies)

It’s like the Raiders got deflated after 1 interception. The DPI call was especially bullshit. But it’s just a 3 pt deficit still. Hoping they pick it back up for the 2nd half!

mr_scrawley@feddit.org · 2 pts · 336d (1 reply)

Here we go! How Meyers kept his balance and even gained some more after that unhealthy-looking neck-bend a couple of plays before the score I don't know. I was 100% expecting them to pull him into the tent after that.

MelonYellow@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 336d

That was awesome! And also Idk how Bowers kept his feet inbounds on that spinning sideline reception.

MelonYellow@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 336d

That was the best Raiders opening drive since at least 2002

MelonYellow@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 336d

What an improvement this coaching staff is compared to the last few years. Actual halftime adjustments! Overall the Raiders looked great, except for some atrocious run-blocking. Hopefully that was more due to the Pats selling out to stop Jeanty. We’ll see next week in a tougher matchup with the Chargers

MelonYellow@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 336d (2 replies)

Bout to be a rainy game. It’s Jeanty time!

Also it’s going to put to test the fan theory that Geno’s worse at playing outdoors.

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 336d (1 reply)

Geno's played in Seattle....

MelonYellow@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 336d

Exactly. His numbers were worse at home in the elements than in domes

MelonYellow@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 336d

Uh ohhh rain’s coming down harder he says

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 337d

Cards @ Saints 1:00pm ET

Lions @ Packers 4:25pm ET

oxysis@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 5 pts · 336d (3 replies)

I knew the Lions were gonna fall off after losing Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn but it is nice to see they are doing worse than I thought they would. I know it’s only one half of one game but it’s nice to see nonetheless

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 336d (2 replies)

It's the Packers though.

oxysis@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 336d (1 reply)

I know I am a Packers fan, just with the amount of pieces the Lions have you’d expect them to do more

oxysis@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 336d

This is just getting sad for the Lions now, Micah Paraons, Devonte Wyatt, Rashan Gary AND Lukas Van Ness all hitting home. That LVN part is the cherry on top, got called a bust and showed up tonight

Ghyste@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 336d

Let's go Packers! Great start!

Titans @ Broncos 4:00pm ET

njm1314@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 336d

I tell you Bo Nix is looking good

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 336d

Full credit to Sean Payton for boosting Nix's confidence. I never saw him play with this much swagger in college. Noticed it in NFL.

njm1314@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 336d

Man that was so fucking close to a safety!

njm1314@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 336d

Seeing how much better Courtland Sutton plays with an actual quarterback just makes you sad about how much of his potential was wasted by the just slew of talentless imbeciles they had and the preceding years.

ThatGuy46475@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 336d

Broncos offense owes broncos defense a round of drinks

RandAlThor@lemmy.ca · 0 pts · 336d

Nix tried to do too much on that turnover.

njm1314@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 336d

What a great fucking day at football this was huh? They just banger after Banger after banger and a beautiful cherry on top. Plus the Broncos won therefore it must have been a good day.

Bengals @ Browns 1:00pm ET
