1PM NFL Games Discussion Thread

Eagles vs Falcons - Starting top ten picks WR Devonta Smith and TE Kyle Pitts. Interesting to see who has the better day. Also two rookie head coaches go head to head.

Jets vs Panthers. Jets staring a rookie QB with a rookie head coach in week one. Only happened ten times since 2000. Also top ten picks QB Zach Wilson starts against starting Panther CB Jaycee Horn. Not to mention seeing how Darnold does.

Probably watch the Eagles and flip over occasionally to the Jets.

The Chargers and the WFT.

Washington is a bigger threat than Philly. It would take some of the pressure off if both Dallas and WFT lost their openers.

Me too. I live in the area and have a few SD players on my FF team. So I have two reasons to root harshly against them. Which is one more reason than I normally need.

With Dallas, Philly and WTF, 0-1.

real fast once he decides where to go with the ball?

Watch the Jets rookie QB at 1pm.

I think WFT is the biggest threat in the division after seeing Dallas. They caught a break getting a west coast team at 1 opening day.

Agree. Washington is a pretty good team on the rise, with a strong defense. If they settle their QB situation they are going to be very solid. Dallas is (as always) overrated—they need to bolster their defense before they can contend. They are going to play a lot of shootouts like the opening night game.

with Erin Andrews on the Fox pre-game.

Talked more directly than I've heard him before about why he wanted out.

"They drafted my replacement. I was MVP and they didn't want to commit to me after 2021."

Also said he has wanted input into player personnel decisions.

Andrews led him into that by pointing to Brady recruiting a Super Bowl winner.

going longer for 8 games. We know his MO by now, wouldn't be surprised if they are in first at the break, but how is he going to look in November December?

Good luck everyone! Here’s to a great year.

Lawrence play, at least for a few minutes before the low out begins. Think he is primed to set rookie QB record today against Hou.

It comes down to the fact that they had no commitment to him. I wouldn't want to be an MVP going into every offseason not knowing if you are coming back. He's earned more than that and it's not like he's in decline.

Here in the Albany area, we're getting four afternoon games today instead of the usual three.

Is that new for the year, or just an opening week thing?

.

preseason as well). That may be concerning for their defense.

.

WFT just got smoked

Falcons settling for 3

They looked soft in preseason too, but didn't think much of it.

I'm not surprised about the Eagles D. They're aging especially on the DL.

Will FitzMagic respond with an Interception?

drive by the Falcons even though it stalled inside the 10. Some smart play calling that was well executed. Falcons 3-0.

Well Falcons offense is pretty damn good, it's their D that's bad. More interested whats going on on that side of the ball for the Eagles. If Hurts can't put up points on them, they are in trouble.

The Eagles are the worst team in the division IMO. The truth is that WFT concerns me the most. Hopefully Fitzpatrick reverts back to the player he's been when he was the full-time starter.

Eagles defense that would not let the falcons score a touchdown...I quit

just got away with a blatant facemark. That was also a BS late hit PF.

That's cool

Why was no one calling him a question mark like they do Barkley?

Eagles moving down the field. BBI members getting moist downstairs.

Derwin and Saquon are the two guys that people just forgot how good they are because they didn't really play last year

Honestly if WFT front 7 keeps looking like this, and if we aren't a winning football team, NFC East is going to be a tallest midget contest again. They looked soft in preseason too, but chalked it up to preseason. Second drive coming up.

come right back and throw a TD to Smith. Great throw by Hurts.

because shit Devonta Smith just made a great move on his TD catch.

Seeing all of single digit jerseys

Run the ball on first down until they show they can actually stop it.

I’m going to cry every time Smith scores a TD. I wanted him so badly as many of us did

Falcons defense is absolute trash. They better start scoring some TDs.

Yeah wouldn’t call that an impressive route, impressive play call

Yep it was more the play or Ertz than Smith

That was a semi-pick play more than a great move.

is trash, if they can't put up points against them, they are in trouble. If they keep stopping the Falcons for fgs, they'll win. The falcons are a bad football team regardless and why I'll press the panic button if we go 0-2 and then lose to them. Shit, I'd probably be concerned if we beat WFT and then go on to lose to them at home on ten days rest.

Me? No. I'm normal. Unlike those hipster loser Giant fans who are gleeful when the Eagles do well or win ... or defend other human waste who cheer on the Eagles.
F the Eagles - ( New Window )

not every TE gets away with that pick/rub. Ertz made that play

he makes a nice inside fake near the LOS to get open too though. His cuts are so fucking smooth.
