Two poorly playing teams that had higher expectations for the season

with the additions of new QBs

I'm going to root for the Colts, I used to take my close friend Natalie to

Lucas Oil Stadium once a season to watch her Colts Play

And the fact I can't forget the 1986 drive and the

87 fumble

Hope he's ok.

looked like what happened to Tua

Why don't they put the padding on the helmet

Ryan looks awful

In the last 40 years, I've never seen that on the field in a game, and now we see it twice in a handful of weeks?
Smoke. Fire. There's something up.

Helmets and their logos are part of the brand. Nobody would ever agree to the that. Owners would lose their minds. Too much money involved.

Concussions are an accepted part of the game. It's a known and accepted risk when you walk on to the field.

Those pads make them look goofy, too.

IMO, in an alternate universe where wilson was traded to cleveland, there is no way in hell that Stefanski would have wilson playing from shotgun this much. i dont get this offense.

Call me crazy but I think Lunchables and chicken nuggets play a definite role.

This is awful football.

Uncrustables !!!

yeah who was it that called out the league for using them in practice but not game day

It is a goofy look I agree

eventually everyone got used to

strapping up a

seat belt

Make me feel awful for starting this thread


lol

Being a Browns fan tonight isn't so bad

Not being argumentative, but there is no way they ever cover up a logo. That's money and brand recognition.

Seat belts aren't a brand that make people money.

Also, this game is hard on the eyes to watch!

are both these QBs washed, or is it just the scheme?

This game makes me appreciate being a Browns for sure

The seat belt thing was a reference about change

I understand the difference about money and a fancy helmet

but what safety

the government put it in place for seat belts for safety for the citizens


and the nfl is doing what for the safety of players ?

I guess I see why the rules have changed .

Good point MilkMan

Is anyone worse than Richard Sherman?

Geez.

Somewhere along the way, Russell Wilson became a huge fan of Russell Wilson. Over inflated ego. Not sure he's hungry to be a great QB anymore.

The money he got

Take the paycheck and stay out of the

ice tub

Washed

No, I don't think it possible.

Aqib Talib.

Lol, Sutton wrestles the ball away and everyone that had Sutton over 66.5 yards receiving is now cheering that it should cover.

Very rarely does acquiring a vet QB with 8 to 10 years
Of service in the league ever works
The Colts front office keeps on repeating the same process
Sign once highly touted QB to a one year deal ...fail..repeat
The rent a QB for a year is a recipe for failure.
The Panthers are going through it
The Falcons....the Steelers tried it with Trubisky..fail.

I wish they would have struggled in 86 and 87

Brady and Tampa are the only one I can think of

or the Eagles and Foles, but that Idk

Manning to the Donks.

Stafford to the Rams.

Don Strock to the Browns in 1988! Pulled him off the golf course and interrupted his 3:45pm dinner in FL.

Commanders vs Bears next week? Al Michaels does not deserve this at his age. I hope Amazon gives this man an enormous expense account when traveling. The finest hotels and restaurants.

Sure wish these two teams were on the 2022 schedule

Best part was him landing in Cleveland in December with his Hawaiian Tropic tan!

Absolutely hilarious the Broncos gave Wilson that extension before a single game was played.

Also, Nathaniel Hackett is really bad as a HC.

OT! Yes! We get more of this crappy game!

Is Wilson washed up or does he always look this terrible?

Lol, Nathaniel Hackett makes Freddie Kitchens look like Bill Belichick.

That was one of the worst games Ive ever seen haha (and we’ve seen A LOT of them). Both QBs and offenses look terrible

I fell asleep only to wake up with under 3 minutes to play and watch the Broncos lose the game as they drove inside the 20 and instead of getting to run out the clock and kick a FG to go up 6 they threw an INT and the Colts drove to kick a game tie FG with 8 seconds on the clock.

Then I watched the Broncos choosing to not tie the game up in overtime and instead went on 4th down to win the game? Tie it and let your D win the game...hmmm for over 60 minutes you could not score a TD but now that you have a revelation that you will score a TD with ONE PLAY...smh

It was a truly die game and Tab is exactly right on the thinking of going for it to win the game... and if they had to go for it, just like both commentators said, it would seem that a roll out from under center by Wilson would have been a higher percentage play.

On the comparison to Freddie - this game and the way the Broncos threw away the game by throwing when the game was in the bag - reminded me of the Seattle game when we were up by 2 TD's and could have cruised into half time looking unbeatable (I think with the ball coming back our way after the half?) but instead Freddie later said he thought there was enough time to score another TD and he chose to throw throw throw and let SEA back in (he might have said enough time to score twice we were playing so well). If you remember the game - we lost all momentum before the half, lost the game.

Thankfully, I fell asleep early in the 3rd quarter.

Both offenses are trash. Hackett looks like a terrible HC.

I mentioned this once before, but it's been reported that Wilson has his own office instead of a locker w/the rest of the guys. He's all about image. Constantly championing the brand. Phony as can be.

I shed no tears for the Denver Broncos for obvious reasons. I enjoy seeing them lose as much as I do Pittsburgh and Dallas. It looks like Wilson is not the same QB he was. Glad Denver got him and not us.

Russ seems so fake or something too. Almost like he’s a robot playing a character. He gives weird vibes

He's the Manchurian Quarterback. Trying to brainwash others into believing he's still elite.

Yep. I watched the game until sometime into the second quarter, thought about how bad it was going, hit record and watched the rest of it this morning, FF through all but the actual playing. Funny it went into OT. Prolonging the ick.

What the hell happened to Russell Wilson? I used to love watching him play.

After watching both 60+ minutes of terrible football and a horrific looking head injury, only one word needs to be uttered to describe it all....... Ugly.

wilson is trash...

I think its time to seriously consider getting rid of thursday night football

Why? They are making a fortune off of it.

You're right... they are making a killing off Thursday games... but so far this year they have been trash...

Edit: except for us of course

Because the quality of the games is subpar and the risk of injuries are greater with the short weeks.. Or if they do it then make it the game when two teams come off their bye

The Bills vs the Rams was a great matchup in game 1. Chiefs/Chargers in week 2 was awesome. Steelers/Browns is a matchup that has two teams w/fans nationwide.

I agree about the injury thing, but do you think the NFL cares about that? They are making a killing on these games. They aren't going away. It's all about money.

The NFL owes me money for watching that game. Broncos have had 3 prime time games so far. Need to stop giving them prime time games.
