🏈 NFL - Game On

[InCali]

Man, if Herbert can play like that consistently, the Chargers are gonna be trouble. I was listening to the announcers going on about Mahomes and thinking that he was being totally outplayed by Herbert. In their defense, they also later praised Herbert quite a bit.

That dude throws as nice and accurate a ball as anyone in the NFL. I can only think of one throw he missed when he had a chance to set himself and that was about a 40 yarder he missed by about a step. That's as confident a QB I think I've ever seen. He makes throws that few would even try.

13 points at home is inexplicably pathetic. The continued woes and being hot garbage at home is tiresome.

Some really good games in the opening 1am window. Jets/Steelers was a great one to have on.

I have been saying for a couple of years now that I think Herbert throws the prettiest ball in the league. He throws a missile.

On the other hand.......the Raiders are certainly improved from last year and got the win, but they are a flawed team. That O line needs work and they don't seem to have fallen off a bit WRT getting pressure on pass plays. Maye looks like the real deal to me, but needs a LOT of help.

The game of the day was clearly Bucs v Falcons......I might've been wrong about Penix. He looked really, really good. Rams v Texans was really entertaining also. The Texans looked much better than I thought they would. They have a terrific D. The Pack looks to be back and they are (unsurprisingly) gonna cause problems.

It was maybe last year or the year before, but he threw a ball running to his right. He threw it from the right sideline right down the line. That throw would have sailed on any other QB in the league, but he threw it on a line and hit his receiver just before he went out of bounds. I couldn't freaking believe it. IIRC, that first down won them the game.

That dude makes throws that just leave you shaking your head.

My team sucks, but still a great weekend of football.

Ravens choking that game away is next level embarrassing. All you needed was one first down.

Ravens/Bills was still a great game.

Yeah....the problem is that the main feature was watching the Ravens lose a game that they basically had in the bag. They had to do "everything" wrong at the end of the game and managed to pull it off. LOL. Don't get me wrong, there was some good football played, but some very BAD football by the Ravens late in the game when it counted.

For my money, the Bucs v Falcons was a good one. There wasn't all the scoring, but it was still an exciting game. Ditto for the Rams v Texans. All in all, it was a really good weekend with a lot of close games that weren't decided until the end.

I think Green Bay is going to kill teams this year......
