I'm sorry but if that from Freeman is not a catch then what the fucking hell is? Ridiculous.

That one counts!

Absurdist Kafka-esque parsing of the rule book! I know that's why I tune in every Sunday night!

 

[kieran_vale]

Smokin Jay credit where it's due, nice drive to probably win it for the Bears.

Fucking hell, Nick Foles, I may aswell have left Luck in there! Knew I'd regret leaving Murray out too.

Scenes in Kansas City.

Surely you tune in hoping a play results in you being able to use the words 'Kafka-esque' in a post Carel?

 

[Kim Mitten]

Been some madness around these early games, espeically late on, hoping for some more as the game just kicks off in Motown. If the Lions can't win (which I'm not expecting) the semblance of a running game would be nice to view.
As I write this Stafford INT already!

 

[kieran_vale]

Oh Washington

They deserve that for not giving Alfred Morris more touches and costing me in fantasy.

Good to know I'm not the only one who wishes defeat on teams who don't give enough touches to my fantasy players.

 

[Kim Mitten]

God, I might give up with this already - 2 possessions, 2 turnovers. The only good news is more rushing attempts than passing so far. Looks like the D will have to keep the team in it yet again.
Edit: The D is really keeping the team in the game - Arizona on 2 possessions has -1 total yards

 

[RavenBish]

That nobhead Nugent nearly fucked it up, the triangle footed berk.

Great win though, not quite sure how they've pulled it off but a very Un-Bengal win indeed.

 

[Kim Mitten]

Wow, some big plays in what I am now calling the Johnson Bowl (Chris, Rashad, David and Calvin all playing). TD and Stafford already has over 100 yards, have made this very good Arizona D look quite poor early on, sadly making too many mistakes for me to have any faith for a W

 

[kieran_vale]

Odious c*** that he is have to say Hardy has started out like a man on a mission so far. Solder needs to up his game.

 

[Kim Mitten]

Fuck sake, 4 possessions so far, 3 turnovers 1 TD. AZ 14-7 up, already got away from any kind of running by now throwing it twice as much, I feel sorry for Megatron having to play in this offense, he had more fun on the 0-16 team.

I'd have gone with a different insult.

Now you come to mention it yeah you have a good point.

Got to be happy with how Dallas are doing so far Carel? Your front 7 is doing a great job.

 

[Kim Mitten]

Massive shame Jamal Charles looks like he is gone for the season. I was looking forward to seeing Charles play against the Lions in a few weeks time.

 

[kieran_vale]

Enoughs enough now the LT and RT need to up their game, being treated like turnstiles so far. Brady will be killed by the end of today if this carries on.

Just a bit. Expected your lot to score into the mid 30s, to be honest (still might, I spose...). Time to bench Brady for his own safety IMHO.

Would be nice if the offense could make a play, like.

Our defence is excellent right now, best I've seen in my time watching, and was enough to lean on when the run game wasn't great and when the passing game wasn't flowing. Pass rushing from every area and so many on the defensive line and linebackers are a sack threat.

Matthews is such a beast. Stats won't show it, but he's so dominant even when being moved around inside. Foles got broken today.

 

[kieran_vale]

Dion Lewis has really been the find of the year for the Pats and this drive is showing why. Need more of this hurry up offense just to get something going.

Guess the other positive I'll take from the first half on D we are getting a bit of joy sending Linebackers up through the A-gap. Something we've become quite good at.

 

[kieran_vale]

Brady QB sneak, it's almost automatic.

 

[Kim Mitten]

Fuck this game, even Tate is fumbling now - just handing the Cardinals points they haven't had to work for any of them. This O is worse than the Orlovsky/Kitna inspired clusterfuck.

 

[Martino Knockavelli]

Is any other team in the league as consistently fucking stupid when it comes to running back kick offs from 8 yards deep?

 

[kieran_vale]

Granted it's not very often Chandler Jones will drop into coverage but it wasn't exactly the greatest ball skills I've ever seen dropping what should have been a very simple interception.

 

[kieran_vale]

You'd have got long odds at the start of this game if you'd have bet on both teams O-Lines given how good they both are getting manhandled.

We've had really good field position all game and not taken advantage at all.

 

[kieran_vale]

Beautiful kick Gost. Given the recent struggles of other kickers we are so lucky to have him.

 

[kieran_vale]

Brilliantly done by Dion Lewis there. Must have evaded about 4 Cowboys there.

 

[Kim Mitten]

Just to complete the misery Stafford has been pulled and Dan 'safety' Orlovsky is in. Nobody cares on the O anymore, that is quite clear.

 

[kieran_vale]

Really don't know what's happened with that Offense in Detroit, running game is clearly not up to much but there are some explosive playmakers there. Really undersold themselves so far this year.

Meanwhile Peyton Manning throws a 2nd pick against the Raiders. Hard to believe Denver will probably end up 5-0 at the end of today and it's very little to do with Peyton.
