OT: NFL thread

Its time for Week 1 Overreaction Correction time with Week 2

Didn't get to watch a lot of NFL ball yesterday but it seems like some teams pulled themselves back on track.

If you're a Dallas fan I think you have to be happy that you didn't lose. Lots of new faces getting in to the mix.

David Irving (best kept secret in sports) comes back soon to make the pass rush even more potent.

Defensive backs looked great.

OL protected Dak better and he actually made some good passes and decisions.

Running game without Frederick is going to be tough sledding. Hope he comes back soon.
 
Josh Gordon to the Pats. Hoped the Cowboys would make it happen.

nfl GMs and scouts love to outsmart themselves into doing something retarded. Sometimes the obvious answer is staring at you right in the face but it's so easy that you think it can't be right

Patrick Mahomes was anything but an obvious answer IMO.

Andy Reid is probably the best QB developer in the NFL in the past 20-30 years.

I do agree that QB scouting and development in the NFL is awful.

Carlson waived by the Vikings after missing three Sunday.

Will surely get another shot but just adds to the depressing AU weekend. One thing about the NFL, you better be automatic inside 40-45. There’s a thousand guys that can hit ONE from 57.

Would be great for Boog recruitment if KJ becomes a stud. He’s got the personality to be a star

KJ looked like a stud in the making. He really is the entire package. Hope he stays healthy and takes the Lions to the glory land. Imagine the hype he would get being the first real RB since the great Barry Sanders.

Really impressed with Carlton tonight. I missed the first 5mins of game, but have watched every snap since and he has shut down the best WR in the NFL...so far. Whoever lines up on his side is not even getting a look at a pass. They are picking on Grimes (4x pro bowlers) on the other side.

Cody Parkey's goofy ass has been huge for my FFB team this season. Today was a monster for him.

Alvin Kamara bailed me out today @ThrustMaxwell. Saints are fun to watch offensively.

Yeah, so far so good this season. Defense is better than I've seen from them in a while. I like Kamara, probably the best of the recent UA RBs.

Unfortunately Brees f'ed my FF team today with a whopping 8.6 points. He did get me 41 last week though, so that was nice.

Cowboys are in trouble

Dak might not be the guy. They need to start talking draft this year

Aight, I'm going to step back from here and not overreact week to week. Dak played great today. Should have had over 300 if he had some reliable deep threats. If the WRs were changed from Dallas to Detroit he'd have had over 300 for sure. Huge drop by Austin that would have been 6 early in the game.

OL, Zeke were awesome today.

Kerryon Johnson is the best RB all around for the Lions and its not even close. I have to imagine that Patricia feels some kind of allegiance to Blount to even play him regularly. Kerryon looks so good out there.

Weird that Booger McFarland is on MNF. Guy has come a long way since the days he was getting scooped by Denim on us buying out a game with Clemson.

He’s really terrible fwiw. The whole announcing crew is pretty amateur for MNF.

Joe Tess is trash. Booger is trash. Haven’t watched any mnf this year so I don’t know about Witten. But as soon as I heard Joe Tess was involved, I just didn’t care. So glad that dude is off the college circuit though

He’s probably the least terrible but not good. The whole dynamic is bad. Too many people in the booth. Witten at least has some cred I guess.
 
It blows my mind how few TDS Julio has. Maybe tonight is the night. Not that I need it fantasy squad went off this week.

@Mens Softball Enthusiast what do you think about the Cooper trade?

Awful compensation
Great player
Desperately needed if you want to win now

I'm surprised they did it, but if their goal is to win in the next two years its something you have to do.

Some of the Cowboys folks were saying that they're giving Garrett, Dak, Linehan, and others no excuse for not succeeding on offense, and if it backfires by 2020 they rebuild the offense around a top QB in the draft.

Obviously nobody will admit that, but I can dig it. Still, you better win now otherwise that 1st round pick looms large.

Raiders have 3 first round picks next year and two in 2020. May take him a while but Gruden finna get them right...
