2021 NFL season - Week 1 thread

how can you be 24 points up with 2 minutes left, and be in a position to lose a game.....madness. I mean it;s still a huge longshot, but there's a chance!

....actually lucky he dropped it. Needs a shot into the endzone now. Can;t believe he threw short of the sticks though.

aw, that's a pity, would've loved to see some overtime in this game. Goff with 3 crappy plays in a row though. 49ers breathe a sigh of relief.

Weird to see the Saints without Brees, I hope Winston does well there, he showed some great flashes in Tampa, and maybe Sean Payton can limit some of the bad decisions. i don;t think he'll throw 30 interceptions this year.

....well now the Vikes ice the kicker, now i want the Bengals to win.

Saints don't look like they're missing a beat without Brees. in fact, his arm was so compromised last year, is it possible they are better this year without him (not talking about prime Brees obviously)

Looks like a 4th down TD run from Landry to me.

what a pathetic fumble by the receiver in Denver. What the hell was he thinking. Fighting for inches on the 5 yard line after getting the first down? Dumb play.

well it looked a clear fumble to me. they don;t deserve to get it overturned it was such a stupid play.

tough call, but i think the defense just shades it :)

AT least with Rodgers you always think it can explode into life.

God, i klnow people warned me about Teddy Bridgewater throwing short of the sticks, but that is ridiculous. All a defense has to do is offer him an easy completion short of the sticks on 3rd down and he laps it up. Useless. And it does not show up on the stat sheet, so you will get people bleating about his 69% completion rate and 8 yards avg etc, but 8 yards is no good on 3rd and 10.

...and Jones cashes in on it with a nice TD pass. Big difference between 4th and 13 from the 29, to 1st and goal from the 8. Huge penalty call there. Probably a bit too harsh.

can you not selectively quote part of a post anymore? It's an all or nothing situation? That is a poor backwards step for a forum.

QUOTE: "Dolphins not helped with the refs messing them out of a free play a little later either. Bill with an excellent game plan to manage Mac into the NFL and not ask much of him game 1."

Well anyway, this will have to do......Agreed, the amount of times i have seen Rodgers get this free play....refs too whistle happy there.

Ha - that was great. Anothe rplayer sitting on his shoulder and they had a chance there! Still think if they can get a rugby coach in to diagram/coach something up you will see more of that type of play.

well, can't put that on Bridgewater, the throw wasn't great, but he has to catch that.
